When the FreeBSD kernel is loaded from Xen the symtab and strtab are
not loaded the same way as the native boot loader. This patch adds
three new global variables to ddb that can be used to specify the
exact position and size of those tables, so they can be directly used
as parameters to db_add_symbol_table. A new helper is introduced, so callers
that used to set ksym_start and ksym_end can use this helper to set the new
variables.
It also adds support for loading them from the Xen PVH port, that was
previously missing those tables.

ddb/db_main.c:
- Add three new global variables: ksymtab, kstrtab, ksymtab_size that
can be used to specify the position and size of the symtab and
strtab.
- Use those new variables in db_init in order to call db_add_symbol_table.
- Move the logic in db_init to db_fetch_symtab in order to set ksymtab,
kstrtab, ksymtab_size from ksym_start and ksym_end.
ddb/ddb.h:
- Add prototype for db_fetch_ksymtab.
- Declate the extern variables ksymtab, kstrtab and ksymtab_size.
x86/xen/pv.c:
- Add support for finding the symtab and strtab when booted as a Xen
PVH guest. Since Xen loads the symtab and strtab as NetBSD expects
to find them we have to adapt and use the same method.

Remove duplicate "debug_ktr.mask" sysctl definition.

Let the default value for "vm_kmem_size_scale" be zero. It is setup
after that the sysctl has been initialized from "getenv()" in the
"kmeminit()" function to equal the "VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX" value, if
zero. On Sparc64 the "VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX" macro is not a constant. This
fixes build of Sparc64 which was broken by r267961.
Add a special macro to dynamically create SYSCTL root nodes, because
root nodes have a special parent. This fixes build of existing OFED

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
When running as a PVH guest, there's no emulated i8254, so we need to

option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].
[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

* Make Yarrow an optional kernel component -- enabled by "YARROW_RNG" option.
The files sha2.c, hash.c, randomdev_soft.c and yarrow.c comprise yarrow.
* random(4) device doesn't really depend on rijndael-*. Yarrow, however, does.
* Add random_adaptors.[ch] which is basically a store of random_adaptor's.
random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
We currently have 3 random_adaptors:
+ yarrow
+ rdrand (ivy.c)
+ nehemeiah
* Remove platform dependent logic from probe.c, and move it into
corresponding registration routines of each random_adaptor provider.
probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
from a list of registered ones.
* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.
* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a
system wide one.

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.
The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).
