since it is mainly moving code around, the total amount of entropy is

This is a patch to move the common parts of linux_getcwd() back into
kern/vfs_cache.c so that the standard FreeBSD libc getcwd() can use it's
extended functionality. The linux syscall linux_getcwd() in
compat/linux/linux_getcwd.c has been rewritten to use it too. It should
be possible to simplify libc's getcwd() after this. No doubt this code
needs some cleaning up, since I've left in the sysctl variables I used
for debugging.

Kernel:
Change statistics to use the *uptime() timescale (ie: relative to
boottime) rather than the UTC aligned timescale. This makes the
device statistics code oblivious to clock steps.
Change timestamps to bintime format, they are cheaper.
Remove the "busy_count", and replace it with two counter fields:
"start_count" and "end_count", which are updated in the down and
up paths respectively. This removes the locking constraint on
devstat.
Add a timestamp argument to devstat_start_transaction(), this will
normally be a timestamp set by the *_bio() function in bp->bio_t0.
Use this field to calculate duration of I/O operations.
Add two timestamp arguments to devstat_end_transaction(), one is
the current time, a NULL pointer means "take timestamp yourself",
the other is the timestamp of when this transaction started (see
above).
Change calculation of busy_time to operate on "the salami principle":
Only when we are idle, which we can determine by the start+end
counts being identical, do we update the "busy_from" field in the
down path. In the up path we accumulate the timeslice in busy_time
and update busy_from.
Change the byte_* and num_* fields into two arrays: bytes[] and
operations[].
Userland:
Change the misleading "busy_time" name to be called "snap_time" and
make the time long double since that is what most users need anyway,
fill it using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) to put it on the same
timescale as the kernel fields.
Change devstat_compute_etime() to operate on struct bintime.
Remove the version 2 legacy interface: the change to bintime makes
compatibility far too expensive.
Fix a bug in systat's "vm" page where boot relative busy times would
be bogus.

KTRFAC_DROP to track instances when ktrace events are dropped due to the
request pool being exhausted. When a thread tries to post a ktrace event
and is unable to due to no available ktrace request objects, it sets
KTRFAC_DROP in its process' p_traceflag field. The next trace event to
successfully post from that process will set the KTR_DROP flag in the
header of the request going out and clear KTRFAC_DROP.
The KTR_DROP flag is the high bit in the type field of the ktr_header
structure. Older kdump binaries will simply complain about an unknown type
when seeing an entry with KTR_DROP set. Note that KTR_DROP being set on a
record in a ktrace file does not tell you anything except that at least one
event from this process was dropped prior to this event. The user has no
way of knowing what types of events were dropped nor how many were dropped.

struct proc as p_tracecred alongside the current cache of the vnode in
p_tracep. This credential is then used for all later ktrace operations on
this file rather than using the credential of the current thread at the
time of each ktrace event.
- Now that we have multiple ktrace-related items in struct proc that are
pointers, rename p_tracep to p_tracevp to make it less ambiguous.

a parameter instead of using the level of a given witness. When
recursing, pass an indent level of indent + 1.
- Make use of the information witness_levelall() provides in
witness_display_list() to use an O(n) algorithm instead of an O(n^2)
algo to decide which witnesses to display hierarchies from. Basically,
we only display a hierarchy for witnesses with a level of 0.
- Add a new per-witness flag that is reset at the start of
witness_display() for all witness's and is set the first time a witness
is displayed in witness_displaydescendants(). If a witness is
encountered more than once in the lock order tree (which happens often),
witness_displaydescendants() marks the later occurrences with the string
"(already displayed)" and doesn't display the subtree under that
witness. This avoids duplicating large amounts of the lock order tree
in the 'show witness' output in DDB.
All these changes serve to make 'show witness' a lot more readable and
useful than it was previously.
adds a witness to the child list of a parent witness. rebalancetree()
runs through the entire tree removing direct descendants of witnesses
who already have said child witness as an indirect descendant through
another direct descendant. itismychild() now calls insertchild()
followed by rebalancetree() and no longer needs the evil hack of
having static recursed variable.
- Add a function reparentchildren() that adds all the direct descendants
of one witness as direct descendants of another witness.
- Change the return value of itismychild() and similar functions so that
they return 0 in the case of failure due to lack of resources instead
of 1. This makes the return value more intuitive.
- Check the return value of itismychild() when defining the static lock
order in witness_initialize().
- Don't try to setup a lock instance in witness_lock() if itismychild()
fails. Witness is hosed anyways so no need to do any more witness
related activity at that point. It also makes the code flow easier to
understand.
- Add a new depart() function as the opposite of enroll(). When the
reference count of a witness drops to 0 in witness_destroy(), this
function is called on that witness. First, it runs through the
lock order tree using reparentchildren() to reparent direct descendants
of the departing witness to each of the witness' parents in the tree.
Next, it releases it's own child list and other associated resources.
Finally it calls rebalanacetree() to rebalance the lock order tree.
- Sort function prototypes into something closer to alphabetical order.
As a result of these changes, there should no longer be 'dead' witnesses
in the order tree, and repeatedly loading and unloading a module should no
longer exhaust witness of its internal resources.

recursing on a lock instead of before. This fixes a bug where WITNESS
could get a little confused if you did an sx_tryslock() on a sx lock that
you already had an slock on. WITNESS would still function correctly but
it could result in weirdness in the output of 'show locks'. This also
makes it possible for mtx_trylock() to recurse on a lock.
used popped into my head during my morning commute a few weeks ago, but
it is also very similar (though a bit simpler) to a patch that mini@
developed a while ago. Basically, each eventhandler list has a mutex and
a run count. During an eventhandler invocation, the mutex is held while
we traverse the list but is dropped while we execute actual handlers. Also,
a runcount counter is incremented at the start of an invocation and
decremented at the end of an invocation. Adding to the list is not a big
deal since the reference of a thread currently executing the handlers
remains valid across an add operation. Whether or not new handlers are
executed by threads currently executing the handlers for a given list is
indeterminate however. The harder case is when a handler is removed from
the list. If the runcount is zero, the handler is simply removed from the
list directly. If the runcount is not zero, then another thread is
currently executing the handlers of this list, so the priority of this
handler is set to a magic value (currently -1) to mark it as dead. Dead
handlers are not executed during an invocation. If the runcount is zero
after it is decremented at the end of an invocation, then a new
eventhandler_prune_list() function is called to remove dead handlers from
the list.
Additional minor notes:
- All the common parts of EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE() and
EVENTHANDLER_FAST_INVOKE() have been merged into a common
_EVENTHANDLER_INVOKE() macro to reduce duplication and ease maintenance.
- KTR logging for eventhandlers is now available via the KTR_EVH mask.
- The global eventhander_mutex is no longer recursive.

- Issue the io that we will later block on prior to doing cluster read ahead
so that it is more likely to be ready when we block.
- Loop issuing clustered reads until we've exhausted the seq count supplied
by the file system.
- Use a sysctl tunable "vfs.read_max" to determine the maximum number of
blocks that we'll read ahead.
