1645995b97 Fix bug introduced in rewrite of keg_free_slab in -r251894.
The consequence of the bug is that fini calls are not done
when a slab is freed by a call-back from the page daemon.
It went unnoticed for two months because fini is little used.

I spotted the bug while reading the code to learn how it works
so I could write it up for the next edition of the Design and
Implementation of FreeBSD book.

No MFC needed as this code exists only in HEAD.

e1c0c6422a Unconditionally compile the __sync_* atomics support functions into compiler-rt
for ARM.
This is quite ugly, because it has to work around a clang bug that does not
allow built-in functions to be defined, even when they're ones that are
expected to be built as part of a library.

40a827b6f0 A final test with unmodified code has shown that a delay of 150ms
is not giving us a 100% success rate. Bump the delay to 200ms as
that seems to do the trick.

Note that during testing the delay was added to uart_bus_attach()
in uart_core.c. While having the delay in a different place can
change the behaviour, it was not expected. Having to bump the
delay with another 50ms could therefore be an indication that
the problem can not be solved with delays.

37eed8419c Implement support for the process-context identifiers ('PCID') on
Intel CPUs.  The feature tags TLB entries with the Id of the address
space and allows to avoid TLB invalidation on the context switch, it
is available only in the long mode.  In the microbenchmarks, using the
PCID decreased latency of the context switches by ~30% on SandyBridge
class desktop CPUs, measured with the lat_ctx program from lmbench.

If available, use INVPCID instruction when a TLB entry in non-current
address space needs to be invalidated.  The instruction is typically
available on the Haswell.

If needed, the use of PCID can be turned off with the
vm.pmap.pcid_enabled loader tunable set to 0.  The state of the
feature is reported by the vm.pmap.pcid_enabled sysctl.  The sysctl
vm.pmap.pcid_save_cnt reports the number of context switches which
avoided invalidating the TLB; compare with the total number of context
switches, available as sysctl vm.stats.sys.v_swtch.

1458bff9a4 Implement support for rx buffer packing. Enable it by default for T5
cards.

This is a T4 and T5 chip feature which lets the chip deliver multiple
Ethernet frames in a single buffer.  This is more efficient within the
chip, in the driver, and reduces wastage of space in rx buffers.

- Always allocate rx buffers from the jumbop zone, no matter what the
  MTU is.  Do not use the normal cluster refcounting mechanism.
- Reserve space for an mbuf and a refcount in the cluster itself and let
  the chip DMA multiple frames in the rest.
- Use the embedded mbuf for the first frame and allocate mbufs on the
  fly for any additional frames delivered in the cluster.  Each of these
  mbufs has a reference on the underlying cluster.

9f40021f28 Introduce a new, HVM compatible, paravirtualized timer driver for Xen.
Use this new driver for both PV and HVM instances.

This driver requires a Xen hypervisor that supports vector callbacks,
VCPUOP hypercalls, and reports that it has a "safe PV clock".

New timer driver:

PV port to new driver, and bug fixes:
Submitted by: Roger Pau Monné
Sponsored by: Citrix Systems R&D

sys/dev/xen/timer/timer.c:
	- Register a PV timer device driver which (currently)
	  implements device_{identify,probe,attach} and stubs
	  device_detach.  The detach routine requires functionality
	  not provided by timecounters(4).  The suspend and resume
	  routines need additional work (due to Xen requiring that
	  the hypercalls be executed on the target VCPU), and aren't
	  needed for our purposes.

	- Make sure there can only be one device instance of this
	  driver, and that it only registers one eventtimers(4) and
	  one timecounters(4) device interface.  Make both interfaces
	  use PCPU data as needed.

	- Match, with a few style cleanups & API differences, the
	  Xen versions of the "fetch time" functions.

	- Document the magic scale_delta() better for the i386 version.

	- When registering the event timer, bind a separate event
	  channel for the timer VIRQ to the device's event timer
	  interrupt handler for each active VCPU.  Describe each
	  interrupt as "xen_et:c%d", so they can be identified per
	  CPU in "vmstat -i" or "show intrcnt" in KDB.

	- When scheduling a timer into the hypervisor, try up to
	  60 times if the hypervisor rejects the time as being in
	  the past.  In the common case, this retry shouldn't happen,
	  and if it does, it should only happen once.  This is
	  because the event timer advertises a minimum period of
	  100usec, which is only less than the usual hypercall round
	  trip time about 1 out of every 100 tries.  (Unlike other
	  similar drivers, this one actually checks whether the
	  hypervisor accepted the singleshot timer set hypercall.)

	- Implement a RTC PV clock based on the hypervisor wallclock.

sys/conf/files:
	- Add dev/xen/timer/timer.c if the kernel configuration
	  includes either the XEN or XENHVM options.

	- Remove previous PV timer used in i386 XEN PV kernels, the
	  new timer introduced in this change is used instead (so
	  we share the same code between PVHVM and PV).

76acc41fb7 Implement vector callback for PVHVM and unify event channel implementations
Re-structure Xen HVM support so that:
	- Xen is detected and hypercalls can be performed very
	  early in system startup.
	- Xen interrupt services are implemented using FreeBSD's native
	  interrupt delivery infrastructure.
	- the Xen interrupt service implementation is shared between PV
	  and HVM guests.
	- Xen interrupt handlers can optionally use a filter handler
	  in order to avoid the overhead of dispatch to an interrupt
	  thread.
	- interrupt load can be distributed among all available CPUs.
	- the overhead of accessing the emulated local and I/O apics
	  on HVM is removed for event channel port events.
	- a similar optimization can eventually, and fairly easily,
	  be used to optimize MSI.

sys/dev/xen/xenpci/evtchn.c:
sys/dev/xen/xenpci/xenpcivar.h:
	New implementation of Xen interrupt services.  This is
	similar in many respects to the i386 PV implementation with
	the exception that events for bound to event channel ports
	(i.e. not IPI, virtual IRQ, or physical IRQ) are further
	optimized to avoid mask/unmask operations that aren't
	necessary for these edge triggered events.

	Stubs exist for supporting physical IRQ binding, but will
	need additional work before this implementation can be
	fully shared between PV and HVM.

sys/x86/xen/hvm.c:
	Add support for placing vcpu_info into an arbritary memory
	page instead of using HYPERVISOR_shared_info->vcpu_info.
	This allows the creation of domains with more than 32 vcpus.

ea4447500d - Remove test_and_set_bit() macro. It is unused since r255037.
- Relax atomic_read() and atomic_set() macros.  Linux does not require any
memory barrier.  Also, these macros may be even reordered or optimized away
according to the API documentation:

310915a45a Convert the if_lagg rwlock to an rmlock.
We've been seeing lots of cache line contention (but not lock contention!)
in our workloads between the various TX and RX threads going on.

The write lock is only grabbed when configuration changes are made - which
are infrequent.

With this patch, the contention and cycles spent waiting for updates
disappear.
