PS-POLL support.
This implements PS-POLL awareness i nthe
* Implement frame "leaking", which allows for a software queue
to be scheduled even though it's asleep
* Track whether a frame has been leaked or not
* Leak out a single non-AMPDU frame when transmitting aggregates
* Queue BAR frames if the node is asleep
* Direct-dispatch the rest of control and management frames.
This allows for things like re-association to occur (which involves
sending probe req/resp as well as assoc request/response) when
the node is asleep and then tries reassociating.
* Limit how many frames can set in the software node queue whilst
the node is asleep. net80211 is already buffering frames for us
so this is mostly just paranoia.
* Add a PS-POLL method which leaks out a frame if there's something
in the software queue, else it calls net80211's ps-poll routine.
Since the ath PS-POLL routine marks the node as having a single frame
to leak, either a software queued frame would leak, OR the next queued
frame would leak. The next queued frame could be something from the
net80211 power save queue, OR it could be a NULL frame from net80211.
TODO:
* Don't transmit further BAR frames (eg via a timeout) if the node is
currently asleep. Otherwise we may end up exhausting management frames
due to the lots of queued BAR frames.
I may just undo this bit later on and direct-dispatch BAR frames
even if the node is asleep.
* It would be nice to burst out a single A-MPDU frame if both ends
support this. I may end adding a FreeBSD IE soon to negotiate
this power save behaviour.
* I should make STAs timeout of power save mode if they've been in power
save for more than a handful of seconds. This way cards that get
"stuck" in power save mode don't stay there for the "inactivity" timeout
in net80211.
* Move the queue depth check into the driver layer (ath_start / ath_transmit)
rather than doing it in the TX path.
* There could be some naughty corner cases with ps-poll leaking.
Specifically, if net80211 generates a NULL data frame whilst another
transmitter sends a normal data frame out net80211 output / transmit,
we need to ensure that the NULL data frame goes out first.
This is one of those things that should occur inside the VAP/ic TX lock.
Grr, more investigations to do..

PV entries are now roughly half the size.
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 28 byte pv entries
(two 8-byte tailq nodes, a 4 byte pointer, a 4 byte address and 4 byte
flags), we allocate a page at a time per process.
This provides 252 pv entries per process (actually, per pmap address space)
and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since we now can track
per-process pv entries implicitly.
The pointer to the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to
find the metadata on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by
all 252 entries. There is an 8-int bitmap for the freelist of those 252
entries.
When in serious low memory condition, allocation of another pv_chunk is
possible by freeing some pages in pmap_pv_reclaim().
Added pv_entry/pv_chunk related statistics to pmap.
pv_entry/pv_chunk statistics can be accessed via sysctl vm.pmap.
Ported PTE freelist of KVA allocation and maintenance from i386.
Using an idea from Stephan Uphoff, use the empty pte's that correspond
to the unused kva in the pv memory block to thread a freelist through.
This allows us to free pages that used to be used for pv entry chunks
since we can now track holes in the kva memory block.
As both ARM pmap.c and pmap-v6.c use the same header and pv_entry, pmap and
md_page structures are different, it was needed to separate code designed
for ARMv6/7 from the one for other ARMs.

Instead of doing all sorts of weird casting of constants to
pointer-pointers, simply use the standard C offsetof() macro to obtain
the offset of the respective fields in the structures.
Instead of only checking the __STDC_VERSION__, we can also use Clang's
__has_extension() to check for features specifically. This allows us to,
say, use Clang's native _Static_assert() instead of the typedef hack,
making the compiler error messages a lot more readable.

* Move the node sleep/wake state under the TX lock rather than the
node lock. Let's leave the node lock protecting rate control only
for now.
* When reassociating, various state needs to be cleared. For example,
the aggregate session needs to be torn down, including any pending
aggregation negotiation and BAR TX waiting.
* .. and we need to do a "cleanup" pass since frames in the hardware
TX queue need to be transmitted.
Modify ath_tx_tid_cleanup() to be called with the TX lock held and push
frames into a completion list. This allows for the cleanup to be
done atomically for all TIDs in a node rather than grabbing and
releasing the TX lock each time.

o Split the pool of free pages queues really by domain and not rely on
definition of VM_RAW_NFREELIST.
o For MAXMEMDOM > 1, wrap the RR allocation logic into a specific
function that is called when calculating the allocation domain.
The RR counter is kept, currently, per-thread.
In the future it is expected that such function evolves in a real
policy decision referee, based on specific informations retrieved by
per-thread and per-vm_object attributes.
o Add the concept of "probed domains" under the form of vm_ndomains.
It is responsibility for every architecture willing to support multiple
memory domains to correctly probe vm_ndomains along with mem_affinity
segments attributes. Those two values are supposed to remain always
consistent.
Please also note that vm_ndomains and td_dom_rr_idx are both int
because segments already store domains as int. Ideally u_int would
have much more sense. Probabilly this should be cleaned up in the
future.
o Apply RR domain selection also to vm_phys_zero_pages_idle().

to enforce natural alignment of the key pointer. Unfortunately on
32bit architectures 64bit integers are not always naturally aligned.
Change the assert to enforce only 32bit alignment of the 64bit key for
now to fix the build. A more correct fix would be to properly sort
the struct buf fields which definitely suffer from bloat due to padding.

is held by vm_page_alloc() as well as vm_page_alloc()'s average overall

users to guarantee that the output of DTrace scripts will be time-ordered.
This option is enabled by adding the line
#pragma D option temporal
to the beginning of a script, or by adding '-x temporal' to the arguments of
dtrace(1).
This change fixes a bug in the original port of the temporal option. This
bug was causing some assertions to fail, so they had been disabled; in this
revision the assertions are working properly and are enabled.
The DTrace version number has been bumped from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1 to reflect
the language change that's being introduced.
This change corresponds to part of illumos-gate commit e5803b76927480:

EABI ARM kernels or clang-compiled ARM kernels.
This fixes a crash seen in clang-compiled ARM
kernels that include WITNESS.
This code could be easily modified to walk the stack
for current clang-generated code (including EABI)
but Andrew Turner has raised concerns that the
stack frame currently emitted by clang isn't actually
required by EABI so such a change might cause problems
down the road.
In case anyone wants to experiment, the change

involves simply setting FR_RFP=0 and FR_SCP=1.

- Fix a wart which existed from the introduction of the nullfs

It should be innocent, but now it is also formally safe. Inform the

nullfs inode.
- Add a callback to the upper filesystems for the lower vnode
unlinking. When inactivating a nullfs vnode, check if the lower
vnode was unlinked, indicated by nullfs flag NULLV_DROP or VV_NOSYNC
on the lower vnode, and reclaim upper vnode if so. This allows
nullfs to purge cached vnodes for the unlinked lower vnode, avoiding
excessive caching.

The "blessed" way here is to take a node reference before referencing
anything inside the node, otherwise the node can be freed between
the time the pointer is copied/dereferenced and the time the node contents
are used.
