Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.

Normally gmirror allows colliding requests to proceed whenever a
synchronization request completes and advances to the next offset. However
if an I/O request collides with one of the final g_mirror_syncreqs, nothing
releases it once synchronization completes, resulting in an apparent I/O
hang. The same problem can occur if synchronization is aborted by an
I/O error. Therefore, be sure to requeue pending requests when
mirror synchronization is stopped for any reason.

Consider a mirror with two components, m1 and m2. Suppose a hardware error
results in the removal of m2, with m1's genid bumped. Suppose further that
a replacement mirror component m3 is created and synchronized, after which
the system is shut down uncleanly. During a subsequent bootup, if gmirror
tastes m1 and m2 first, m2 will be removed from the mirror because it is
broken, but the mirror will be started without bumping the syncid on m1
because all elements of the mirror are accounted for. Then m3 will be
added to the already-running mirror with the same syncid as m1, so the
components will not be synchronized despite the unclean shutdown.
Handle this scenario by bumping the syncid of healthy components if any
broken mirrors are discovered during mirror startup.

This change also fixes stupid mistake in the LZMA code, inherited
from geom_lzma, which does not share length of the output buffer

after the underlying device went away.
The problem was that callers who queue the GEOM resize provider
event didn't check to make sure that the provider had not been
withered. For the other equivalent case, g_new_provider_event(),
the code checks to see whether the provider has been withered
before queueing a g_new_provider_event() to the event thread.
In some cases, a resize provider event would come through after
the provider had been withered and all of the existing consumers
had been orphaned. When the resize event triggered a taste of
the provider, that would attach a new consumer to the now
withered provider. The wither washer (g_wither_washer() would
never be able to completely tear down the GEOM because of the
consumers that were hanging around.
The solution was to check the G_PF_WITHER provider flag before

This change includes support for SCSI SMR drives (which conform to the
Zoned Block Commands or ZBC spec) and ATA SMR drives (which conform to
the Zoned ATA Command Set or ZAC spec) behind SAS expanders.
This includes full management support through the GEOM BIO interface, and
through a new userland utility, zonectl(8), and through camcontrol(8).
This is now ready for filesystems to use to detect and manage zoned drives.
(There is no work in progress that I know of to use this for ZFS or UFS, if
anyone is interested, let me know and I may have some suggestions.)
Also, improve ATA command passthrough and dispatch support, both via ATA
and ATA passthrough over SCSI.
Also, add support to camcontrol(8) for the ATA Extended Power Conditions
feature set. You can now manage ATA device power states, and set various
idle time thresholds for a drive to enter lower power states.
Note that this change cannot be MFCed in full, because it depends on
changes to the struct bio API that break compatilibity. In order to
avoid breaking the stable API, only changes that don't touch or depend on
the struct bio changes can be merged. For example, the camcontrol(8)
changes don't depend on the new bio API, but zonectl(8) and the probe
changes to the da(4) and ada(4) drivers do depend on it.
Also note that the SMR changes have not yet been tested with an actual
SCSI ZBC device, or a SCSI to ATA translation layer (SAT) that supports
ZBC to ZAC translation. I have not yet gotten a suitable drive or SAT
layer, so any testing help would be appreciated. These changes have been
tested with Seagate Host Aware SATA drives attached to both SAS and SATA
controllers. Also, I do not have any SATA Host Managed devices, and I
suspect that it may take additional (hopefully minor) changes to support
them.

The da(4) driver supports SCSI ZBC devices, as well as ATA ZAC

layer. Since ZBC -> ZAC translation is a new feature in the T10
SAT-4 spec, most SATA drives will be supported via ATA commands
sent via the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH command. The da(4) driver will
prefer the ZBC interface, if it is available, for performance
reasons, but will use the ATA PASS-THROUGH interface to the ZAC
command set if the SAT layer doesn't support translation yet.

almost all other CCB building functions in CAM. The reason is
that they can fail, depending upon the particular combination
of input parameters. The primary failure case is if the user
wants NCQ, but fails to specify additional CDB storage. NCQ
requires using the 32-byte version of the SCSI ATA PASS-THROUGH

ahci_setup_fis() previously set the top bits of the sector count

those bits, and we don't implement that further up the stack.
But, for SEND and RECEIVE FPDMA QUEUED, the subcommand is in that

Currently, Application Processors (non-boot CPUs) are started by
MD code at SI_SUB_CPU, but they are kept waiting in a "pen" until
SI_SUB_SMP at which point they are released to run kernel threads.
SI_SUB_SMP is one of the last SYSINIT levels, so APs don't enter
the scheduler and start running threads until fairly late in the
boot.
This change moves SI_SUB_SMP up to just before software interrupt
threads are created allowing the APs to start executing kernel
threads much sooner (before any devices are probed). This allows
several initialization routines that need to perform initialization
on all CPUs to now perform that initialization in one step rather
than having to defer the AP initialization to a second SYSINIT run
at SI_SUB_SMP. It also permits all CPUs to be available for
handling interrupts before any devices are probed.
This last feature fixes a problem on with interrupt vector exhaustion.
Specifically, in the old model all device interrupts were routed
onto the boot CPU during boot. Later after the APs were released at
SI_SUB_SMP, interrupts were redistributed across all CPUs.
However, several drivers for multiqueue hardware allocate N interrupts
per CPU in the system. In a system with many CPUs, just a few drivers
doing this could exhaust the available pool of interrupt vectors on
the boot CPU as each driver was allocating N * mp_ncpu vectors on the
boot CPU. Now, drivers will allocate interrupts on their desired CPUs
during boot meaning that only N interrupts are allocated from the boot
CPU instead of N * mp_ncpu.
Some other bits of code can also be simplified as smp_started is
now true much earlier and will now always be true for these bits of
code. This removes the need to treat the single-CPU boot environment
as a special case.
As a transition aid, the new behavior is available under a new kernel
option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option to be turned off
if need be during initial testing. I plan to enable this on x86 by
default in a followup commit in the next few days and to have all
platforms moved over before 11.0. Once the transition is complete,
the option will be removed along with the !EARLY_AP_STARTUP code.
These changes have only been tested on x86. Other platform maintainers
are encouraged to port their architectures over as well. The main
things to check for are any uses of smp_started in MD code that can be
simplified and SI_SUB_SMP SYSINITs in MD code that can be removed in
the EARLY_AP_STARTUP case (e.g. the interrupt shuffling).
