In order to efficiently serve web traffic on a NUMA
machine, one must avoid as many NUMA domain crossings as
possible. With SO_REUSEPORT_LB, a number of workers can share a
listen socket. However, even if a worker sets affinity to a core
or set of cores on a NUMA domain, it will receive connections
associated with all NUMA domains in the system. This will lead to
cross-domain traffic when the server writes to the socket or
calls sendfile(), and memory is allocated on the server's local
NUMA node, but transmitted on the NUMA node associated with the
TCP connection. Similarly, when the server reads from the socket,
he will likely be reading memory allocated on the NUMA domain
associated with the TCP connection.
This change provides a new socket ioctl, TCP_REUSPORT_LB_NUMA. A
server can now tell the kernel to filter traffic so that only
incoming connections associated with the desired NUMA domain are
given to the server. (Of course, in the case where there are no
servers sharing the listen socket on some domain, then as a
fallback, traffic will be hashed as normal to all servers sharing
the listen socket regardless of domain). This allows a server to
deal only with traffic that is local to its NUMA domain, and
avoids cross-domain traffic in most cases.
This patch, and a corresponding small patch to nginx to use
TCP_REUSPORT_LB_NUMA allows us to serve 190Gb/s of kTLS encrypted
https media content from dual-socket Xeons with only 13% (as
measured by pcm.x) cross domain traffic on the memory controller.

nids(4) was a clever idea in the early 2000's when the market was
flooded with 10/100 NICs with Windows-only drivers, but that hasn't been
the case for ages and the driver has had no meaningful maintenance in
ages. It only supports Windows-XP era drivers.

As discussed on -current, -stable, -toolchain, and with jhb@ and imp@,
disable the obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 by default. This was kept only
to provide kgdb for the crashinfo tool, but is long-obsolete, does not
support all architectures that FreeBSD does, and held back other work
(such as forcing the use of DWARF2 for kernel debug).
Crashinfo will use kgdb from the gdb package or devel/gdb port, and will
privde a message referencing those if no kgdb is found.

This has been years in the making, and we all knew it was bound to happen
some day. Switch to the BSDL grep implementation now that it's been a
little more thoroughly tested and theoretically supports all of the
extensions that gnugrep in base had with our libregex(3).
Folks shouldn't really notice much from this update; bsdgrep is slower than
gnugrep, but this is currently the price to pay for fewer bugs. Those
dissatisfied with the speed of grep and in need of a faster implementation
should check out what textproc/ripgrep and textproc/the_silver_searcher
can do for them.
I have some WIP to make bsdgrep faster, but do not consider it a blocker
when compared to the pros of switching now (aforementioned bugs, licensing).

Sync serial (T1/E1) interfaces are largely irrelevant today and phk
confirms this driver is unnecessary in review D23928.
This leaves ce(4) and cp(4) in the tree. They're likely not relevant
either, but glebius contacted the manufacturer and those devices are
still available for purchase. At glebius' suggestion leave them in
the tree as long as they do not impose a maintenace burden.

This was introduced and then disabled by default primarily to avoid dealing
with bugs in libgnuregex. rS363823 switched to using libregex for it, so
let's just rip the option out now so we can make sure we're getting tested

We are seeing regular build failures due to libc.so being installed again and
another parallel make job tries to read the partially written libc.so at the
same time. When building with -j32 or higher this almost always happens on
the first clean build (subsequent incremental builds always work fine).
Using -S should "fix" the "section header table goes past the end of the
file: e_shoff = 0x..." errors that have started to plague our builds.
We originally thought this only affected CheriBSD, but I just got the same
error while building the latest upstream FreeBSD.
The real fix should be to not install libraries twice, but until then this
workaround is needed.
Original patch by jrtc27@, I only made some minor changes to the comment.

Crypto file descriptors were added in the original OCF import as a way
to provide per-open data (specifically the list of symmetric
sessions). However, this gives a bit of a confusing API where one has
to open /dev/crypto and then invoke an ioctl to obtain a second file
descriptor. This also does not match the API used with /dev/crypto on
other BSDs or with Linux's /dev/crypto driver.
Character devices have gained support for per-open data via cdevpriv
since OCF was imported, so use cdevpriv to simplify the userland API
by permitting ioctls directly on /dev/crypto descriptors.
To provide backwards compatibility, CRIOGET now opens another
/dev/crypto descriptor via kern_openat() rather than dup'ing the
existing file descriptor. This preserves prior semantics in case
CRIOGET is invoked multiple times on a single file descriptor.

This removes 288KB (36%) of the driver code and zillions of hacks and
workarounds, making single driver uniformly support several different
generations of hardware interfaces, not counting minor card variations.
After years of the hopeless fight, I don't think it worth to continue
support for hardware obsolete for 15-20 years. Instead much cleaner
now code should allow to move forward toward better locking, multiple
queues and other cool features.
All the remaining Qlogic cards starting from 4Gb 24xx to 32Gb 27xx use
the same hardware/firmware interface with minor incremental improvements,
so it seems to be a good new starting point. Except one PCI-X model all
all of them are PCIe and so still usable in modern systems.

There are many cases where one would choose avoid entering the debugger
on a normal panic, opting instead to reboot and possibly save a kernel
dump. However, recursive kernel panics are an unusual case that might
warrant attention from a human, so provide a secondary tunable,
debug.debugger_on_recursive_panic, to allow entering the debugger only
when this occurs.
For for simplicity in maintaining existing behaviour, the tunable
defaults to zero.
