This makes it possible to retrieve per-connection statistical
information such as the receive window size, RTT, or goodput,
using a newly added TCP_STATS getsockopt(3) option, and extract
them using the stats_voistat_fetch(3) API.
See the net/tcprtt port for an example consumer of this API.
Compared to the existing TCP_INFO system, the main differences
are that this mechanism is easy to extend without breaking ABI,
and provides statistical information instead of raw "snapshots"
of values at a given point in time. stats(3) is more generic
and can be used in both userland and the kernel.

FDT bindings document for gpio-i2c devices.
Using the gpio_pin_* functions to acquire/release/manipulate gpio pins
removes the constraint that both gpio pins must belong to the same gpio
controller/bank, and that the gpioiic instance must be a child of gpiobus.
Removing those constraints allows the driver to be fully compatible with
the modern dts bindings for a gpio bitbanged i2c bus.
For hinted attachment, the two gpio pins still must be on the same gpiobus,
and the device instance must be a child of that bus. This preserves
compatibility for existing installations that have use gpioiic(4) with hints.
It was introduced by r290122, but no documentation was provided.
This is taken from https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21798, since it
is not related to the feature added there.

Generally, it's preferred that an application fork/setsid if it doesn't want
to keep its controlling TTY, but it could be that a debugger is trying to
steal it instead -- so it would hook in, drop the controlling TTY, then do
some magic to set things up again. In this case, TIOCNOTTY is quite handy
and still respected by at least OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux as far as I can
tell.
I've dropped the note about obsoletion, as I intend to support TIOCNOTTY as
long as it doesn't impose a major burden.

Previously ntb_transport(4) required at least 6 scratchpad registers,
plus 2 more for each additional memory window. That is too much for some
configurations, where several drivers have to share resources of the same
NTB hardware. This patch introduces new compact version of the protocol,
requiring only 3 scratchpad registers, plus one more for each additional
memory window. The optimization is based on fact that neither of version,
number of windows or number of queue pairs really need more then one byte
each, and window sizes of 4GB are not very useful now. The new protocol
is activated automatically when the configuration is low on scratchpad
registers, or it can be activated explicitly with loader tunable.

Address Lookup Table (A-LUT) being enabled allows to specify separate
translation for each 1/128th or 1/256th of the BAR2. Previously it was
used only to limit effective window size by blocking access through some
of A-LUT elements. This change allows A-LUT elements to also point
different memory locations, providing to upper layers several (up to 128)
independent memory windows. A-LUT hardware allows even more flexible
configurations than this, but NTB KPI have no way to manage that now.

The change is for the example in textdump.4 and the default ddb.conf.
First of all, doadump now requires an argument and it won't do a
textdump if the argument is not 'true'.
And 'textdump dump' is more idiomatic anyway.
For what it's worth, ddb 'dump' command seems to always request a vmcore
dump even if a textdump was requested earlier, e.g., by 'textdump set'.
Finally, ddb 'call' command is not documented.

NetGDB(4) is a component of a system using a panic-time network stack to
remotely debug crashed FreeBSD kernels over the network, instead of
traditional serial interfaces.
There are three pieces in the complete NetGDB system.
First, a dedicated proxy server must be running to accept connections from
both NetGDB and gdb(1), and pass bidirectional traffic between the two
protocols.
Second, the NetGDB client is activated much like ordinary 'gdb' and
similarly to 'netdump' in ddb(4) after a panic. Like other debugnet(4)
clients (netdump(4)), the network interface on the route to the proxy server
must be online and support debugnet(4).
Finally, the remote (k)gdb(1) uses 'target remote <proxy>:<port>' (like any
other TCP remote) to connect to the proxy server.
The NetGDB v1 protocol speaks the literal GDB remote serial protocol, and
uses a 1:1 relationship between GDB packets and sequences of debugnet
packets (fragmented by MTU). There is no encryption utilized to keep
debugging sessions private, so this is only appropriate for local
segments or trusted networks.

to the generic debugnet code. The imagined use is both netdump, shown here,
and NetGDB (vaporware). It uses the ddb(4) lexer, with some new extensions,
to parse out IPv4 addresses.
'Netdump' uses the generic debugnet routine to load a configuration and
start a dump, without any netdump configuration prior to panic.

membar_producer is supposed to be a store-store barrier.
Also, in the code that FreeBSD has ported from illumos membar_producer
is used only with regular stores to regular memory (with respect to
caching).
We do not have an MI primitive for the store-store barrier, so
atomic_thread_fence_rel is the closest we have as it provides
(load | store) -> store barrier.
Previously, membar_producer was an empty function call on all 32-bit
arm-s, 32-bit powerpc, riscv and all mips variants. I think that it was
inadequate.
On other platforms, such as amd64, arm64, i386, powerpc64, sparc64,
membar_producer was implemented using stronger primitives than required
for a store-store barrier with respect to regular memory access.
For example, it used sfence on amd64 and lock-ed nop in i386 (despite TSO).
On powerpc64 we now use recommended lwsync instead of eieio.
On sparc64 FreeBSD uses TSO mode.
On arm64/aarch64 we now use dmb sy instead of dmb ish. Not sure if this
is an improvement, actually.
After this change we can drop opensolaris_atomic.S for aarch64, amd64,
powerpc64 and sparc64 as all required atomic operations have either
direct or light-weight mapping to FreeBSD native atomic operations.

drive is not well known, so any interrupt is sent to all children that

VROC used Intel meta data so graid(8) works with it. However, graid(8)
supports RAID 0,1,10 for read and write. I have some early code to
support writes with RAID 5. Note that RAID 5 can have life issues
with SSDs since it can cause write amplification from updating the parity
data.
