db03954cc0 Change native-xtools to not install by default; add a native-xtools-install.
Without this the user has to mess with 'make -f Makefile.inc1 ...' to figure
out where the files are installed in the OBJDIR and then they need to copy them
to where they really wanted them. Using DESTDIR may be problematic after
r325001 as well.

The files will be installed to DESTDIR/NXTP where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin.

2502c4412c Implement IPMI support for RB_POWRECYCLE
Some BMCs support power cycling the chassis via the chassis control
command 2 subcommand 2 (ipmitool called it 'chassis power cycle').  If
the BMC supports the chassis device, register a shutdown_final handler
that sends the power cycle command if request and waits up to 10s for
it to take effect. To minimize stack strain, we preallocate a ipmi
request in the softc. At the moment, we're verbose about what we're
doing.

a049a758b2 Add support for compressed kernel dumps.
When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.

Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.

savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.

A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.

a9152a7f99 Shorten list of arguments to mbuf external storage freeing function.
All of these arguments are stored in m_ext, so there is no reason
to pass them in the argument list.  Not all functions need the second
argument, some don't even need the first one.  The second argument
lives in next cache line, so not dereferencing it is a performance
gain.  This was discovered in sendfile(2), which will be covered by
next commits.

The second goal of this commit is to bring even more flexibility
to m_ext mbufs, allowing to create more fields in m_ext, opaque to
the generic mbuf code, and potentially set and dereferenced by
subsystems.

69fb8e033a Restore the ability to deregister an eventhandler from within the callback.
When the EVENTHANDLER(9) subsystem was created, it was a documented feature
that an eventhandler callback function could safely deregister itself. In
r200652 that feature was inadvertantly broken by adding drain-wait logic to
eventhandler_deregister(), so that it would be safe to unload a module upon
return from deregistering its event handlers.

There are now 145 callers of EVENTHANDLER_DEREGISTER(), and it's likely many
of them are depending on the drain-wait logic that has been in place for 8
years. So instead of creating a separate eventhandler_drain() and adding it
to some or all of those 145 call sites, this creates a separate
eventhandler_drain_nowait() function for the specific purpose of
deregistering a callback from within the running callback.

f7dc81f848 Remove rcmds.
If they are still needed, you can find them in the net/bsdrcmds port.

This was proposed June, 20th and approved by various committers [1].
They have been marked as deprecated on CURRENT in r320644 [2] on July, 4th.
Both stable/11 and release/11.1 contain the deprecation notice (thanks to
allanjude@).

Note that ruptime(1)/rwho(1)/rwhod(8) were initially thought to be part of
rcmds but this was a mistake and those are therefore NOT removed.

de7a7877e1 aesni(4): Add support for x86 SHA intrinsics
Some x86 class CPUs have accelerated intrinsics for SHA1 and SHA256.
Provide this functionality on CPUs that support it.

This implements CRYPTO_SHA1, CRYPTO_SHA1_HMAC, and CRYPTO_SHA2_256_HMAC.

Correctness: The cryptotest.py suite in tests/sys/opencrypto has been
enhanced to verify SHA1 and SHA256 HMAC using standard NIST test vectors.
The test passes on this driver.  Additionally, jhb's cryptocheck tool has
been used to compare various random inputs against OpenSSL.  This test also
passes.

Rough performance averages on AMD Ryzen 1950X (4kB buffer):
aesni:      SHA1: ~8300 Mb/s    SHA256: ~8000 Mb/s
cryptosoft:       ~1800 Mb/s    SHA256: ~1800 Mb/s

So ~4.4-4.6x speedup depending on algorithm choice.  This is consistent with
the results the Linux folks saw for 4kB buffers.

The driver borrows SHA update code from sys/crypto sha1 and sha256.  The
intrinsic step function comes from Intel under a 3-clause BSDL.[0]  The
intel_sha_extensions_sha<foo>_intrinsic.c files were renamed and lightly
modified (added const, resolved a warning or two; included the sha_sse
header to declare the functions).

5849e8f575 Add NTB driver for PLX/Avago/Broadcom PCIe switches.
This driver supports both NTB-to-NTB and NTB-to-Root Port modes (though
the second with predictable complications on hot-plug and reboot events).
I tested it with PEX 8717 and PEX 8733 chips, but expect it should work
with many other compatible ones too.  It supports up to two NT bridges
per chip, each of which can have up to 2 64-bit or 4 32-bit memory windows,
6 or 12 scratchpad registers and 16 doorbells.  There are also 4 DMA engines
in those chips, but they are not yet supported.

While there, rename Intel NTB driver from generic ntb_hw(4) to more specific
ntb_hw_intel(4), so now it is on par with this new ntb_hw_plx(4) driver and
alike to Linux naming.
