Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these ire likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.

plain-vanilla ETH microcode. The QOS_VLAN firmware added support in microcode
for handling IEEE 802.1q tags, but the npe(4) driver did not actually
support the relevant signalling. As a result, it was impossible to use
VLANs with npe(4). Switching to the more basic microcode (same license)
removes the on-NIC promisisng and makes vlan(4) work on both NPE interfaces.

rounddown2 tends to produce longer lines than the original code
and when the code has a high indentation level it was not really
advantageous to do the replacement.
This tries to strike a balance between readability using the macros
and flexibility of having the expressions, so not everything is
converted.
On some architectures, u_long isn't large enough for resource definitions.
Particularly, powerpc and arm allow 36-bit (or larger) physical addresses, but
type `long' is only 32-bit. This extends rman's resources to uintmax_t. With
this change, any resource can feasibly be placed anywhere in physical memory
(within the constraints of the driver).
Why uintmax_t and not something machine dependent, or uint64_t? Though it's
possible for uintmax_t to grow, it's highly unlikely it will become 128-bit on
32-bit architectures. 64-bit architectures should have plenty of RAM to absorb
the increase on resource sizes if and when this occurs, and the number of
resources on memory-constrained systems should be sufficiently small as to not
pose a drastic overhead. That being said, uintmax_t was chosen for source
clarity. If it's specified as uint64_t, all printf()-like calls would either
need casts to uintmax_t, or be littered with PRI*64 macros. Casts to uintmax_t
aren't horrible, but it would also bake into the API for
resource_list_print_type() either a hidden assumption that entries get cast to
uintmax_t for printing, or these calls would need the PRI*64 macros. Since
source code is meant to be read more often than written, I chose the clearest
path of simply using uintmax_t.

Summary:
Migrate to using the semi-opaque type rman_res_t to specify rman resources. For
now, this is still compatible with u_long.
This is step one in migrating rman to use uintmax_t for resources instead of
u_long.
Going forward, this could feasibly be used to specify architecture-specific
definitions of resource ranges, rather than baking a specific integer type into
the API.
This change has been broken out to facilitate MFC'ing drivers back to 10 without
breaking ABI.

providing compiled-in static environment data that is used instead of any
data passed in from a boot loader.
Previously 'env' worked only on i386 and arm xscale systems, because it
required the MD startup code to examine the global envmode variable and
decide whether to use static_env or an environment obtained from the boot
loader, and set the global kern_envp accordingly. Most startup code wasn't
doing so. Making things even more complex, some mips startup code uses an
alternate scheme that involves calling init_static_kenv() to pass an empty
buffer and its size, then uses a series of kern_setenv() calls to populate
that buffer.
Now all MD startup code calls init_static_kenv(), and that routine provides
a single point where envmode is checked and the decision is made whether to
use the compiled-in static_kenv or the values provided by the MD code.
The routine also continues to serve its original purpose for mips; if a
non-zero buffer size is passed the routine installs the empty buffer ready
to accept kern_setenv() values. Now if the size is zero, the provided buffer
full of existing env data is installed. A NULL pointer can be passed if the
boot loader provides no env data; this allows the static env to be installed
if envmode is set to do so.
Most of the work here is a near-mechanical change to call the init function
instead of directly setting kern_envp. A notable exception is in xen/pv.c;
that code was originally installing a buffer full of preformatted env data
along with its non-zero size (like mips code does), which would have allowed
kern_setenv() calls to wipe out the preformatted data. Now it passes a zero
for the size so that the buffer of data it installs is treated as
non-writeable.
In the old days, device drivers passed NULL for the parent tag when creating
a new tag, and on arm platforms that resulted in a global tag representing
overall platform constraints being substituted in the busdma code. Now all
drivers use bus_get_dma_tag() and if there is a need to represent overall
platform constraints they will be inherited from a tag supplied by nexus or
some bus driver in the hierarchy.
The only arm platforms still relying on the old global-tag scheme were some
xscale boards with special PCI-bus constraints. This change provides those
constraints through a tag supplied by the xscale PCI bus driver, and
eliminates the few remaining references to the old global var.

initial thread stack is not adjusted by the tunable, the stack is
allocated too early to get access to the kernel environment. See
TD0_KSTACK_PAGES for the thread0 stack sizing on i386.
The tunable was tested on x86 only. From the visual inspection, it
seems that it might work on arm and powerpc. The arm
USPACE_SVC_STACK_TOP and powerpc USPACE macros seems to be already
incorrect for the threads with non-default kstack size. I only
changed the macros to use variable instead of constant, since I cannot
test.
On arm64, mips and sparc64, some static data structures are sized by
KSTACK_PAGES, so the tunable is disabled.

The bus_space struct contains a private data pointer (poorly named bs_cookie,

value as the first parameter instead of the bus_space_tag_t, requiring all

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.
