10685f105c Fix siginfo_t.si_status for wait6/waitid/SIGCHLD.
Per POSIX, si_status should contain the value passed to exit() for
si_code==CLD_EXITED and the signal number for other si_code. This was
incorrect for CLD_EXITED and CLD_DUMPED.

This is still not fully POSIX-compliant (Austin group issue #594 says that
the full value passed to exit() shall be returned via si_status, not just
the low 8 bits) but is sufficient for a si_status-related test in libnih
(upstart, Debian/kFreeBSD).

6175f0915f Replace CAP_POLL_EVENT and CAP_POST_EVENT capability rights (which I had
a very hard time to fully understand) with much more intuitive rights:

	CAP_EVENT - when set on descriptor, the descriptor can be monitored
		with syscalls like select(2), poll(2), kevent(2).

	CAP_KQUEUE_EVENT - When set on a kqueue descriptor, the kevent(2)
		syscall can be called on this kqueue to with the eventlist
		argument set to non-NULL value; in other words the given
		kqueue descriptor can be used to monitor other descriptors.
	CAP_KQUEUE_CHANGE - When set on a kqueue descriptor, the kevent(2)
		syscall can be called on this kqueue to with the changelist
		argument set to non-NULL value; in other words it allows to
		modify events monitored with the given kqueue descriptor.

Add alias CAP_KQUEUE, which allows for both CAP_KQUEUE_EVENT and
CAP_KQUEUE_CHANGE.

Add backward compatibility define CAP_POLL_EVENT which is equal to CAP_EVENT.

6c60c88452 As of r257209, all architectures have defined VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE. In other
words, every architecture is now auto-sizing the kmem arena.  This revision
changes kmeminit() so that the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE becomes
mandatory and the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE becomes optional.

Replace or eliminate all existing definitions of VM_KMEM_SIZE.  With
auto-sizing enabled, VM_KMEM_SIZE effectively became an alternate spelling
for VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN on most architectures.  Use VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN for
clarity.

Change kmeminit() so that the effect of defining VM_KMEM_SIZE is similar to
that of setting the tunable vm.kmem_size.  Whereas the macros
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} have had the same effect as the tunables
vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, the effects of VM_KMEM_SIZE and vm.kmem_size
have been distinct.  In particular, whereas VM_KMEM_SIZE was overridden by
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} and vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, vm.kmem_size
was not.  Remedy this inconsistency.  Now, VM_KMEM_SIZE can be used to set
the size of the kmem arena at compile-time without that value being
overridden by auto-sizing.

Update the nearby comments to reflect the kmem submap being replaced by the
kmem arena.  Stop duplicating the auto-sizing formula in every machine-
dependent vmparam.h and place it in kmeminit() where auto-sizing takes
place.

4219fc0074 Merge GEOM direct dispatch changes from the projects/camlock branch.
When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.

The defined now safety requirements are:
 - caller should not hold any locks and should be reenterable;
 - callee should not depend on GEOM dual-threaded concurency semantics;
 - on the way down, if request is unmapped while callee doesn't support it,
   the context should be sleepable;
 - kernel thread stack usage should be below 50%.

To keep compatibility with GEOM classes not meeting above requirements
new provider and consumer flags added:
 - G_CF_DIRECT_SEND -- consumer code meets caller requirements (request);
 - G_CF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- consumer code meets callee requirements (done);
 - G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- provider code meets caller requirements (done);
 - G_PF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- provider code meets callee requirements (request).
Capable GEOM class can set them, allowing direct dispatch in cases where
it is safe.  If any of requirements are not met, request is queued to
g_up or g_down thread same as before.

Such GEOM classes were reviewed and updated to support direct dispatch:
CONCAT, DEV, DISK, GATE, MD, MIRROR, MULTIPATH, NOP, PART, RAID, STRIPE,
VFS, ZERO, ZFS::VDEV, ZFS::ZVOL, all classes based on g_slice KPI (LABEL,
MAP, FLASHMAP, etc).

To declare direct completion capability disk(9) KPI got new flag equivalent
to G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- DISKFLAG_DIRECT_COMPLETION.  da(4) and ada(4) disk
drivers got it set now thanks to earlier CAM locking work.

This change more then twice increases peak block storage performance on
systems with manu CPUs, together with earlier CAM locking changes reaching
more then 1 million IOPS (512 byte raw reads from 16 SATA SSDs on 4 HBAs to
256 user-level threads).

Under some specific and not real-world use scenario for kqueue, it is
possible for the kqueues to consume memory proportional to the square
of the number of the filedescriptors available to the process.  Limit
allows administrator to prevent the abuse.

a3e56e6934 MFprojects/camlock r256619:
Restore BIO_UNMAPPED and BIO_TRANSIENT_MAPPING in biodonne() when unmapping
temporary mapped buffer.  That fixes double unmap if biodone() called twice
for the same BIO (but with different done methods).

Move mapping removal before calling bio_done() method.  I believe that it is
very wrong to do anything to BIO after reporting completion.  kib@ thinks
it was done for some forgotten now case when bio_done() method needed mapped
buffer. But 1) if BIO was sent as unmapped, then IMO done() should be called
in the same way; 2) IMO there is no guatantee that buffer will be mapped at
this point at all, for example, if all underlying stack supports unmapped
I/O, so bio_done() handler can not expect that.

9c2f444a0a Merge from project branch. Uninteresting commits are trimmed.
Refactor of /dev/random device. Main points include:

* Userland seeding is no longer used. This auto-seeds at boot time
on PC/Desktop setups; this may need some tweeking and intelligence
from those folks setting up embedded boxes, but the work is believed
to be minimal.

* An entropy cache is written to /entropy (even during installation)
and the kernel uses this at next boot.

* An entropy file written to /boot/entropy can be loaded by loader(8)

* Hardware sources such as rdrand are fed into Yarrow, and are no
longer available raw.

* Remove 'frac' parameter from random_harvest(). This was never
used and adds extra code for no good reason.

* Remove device write entropy harvesting. This provided a weak
attack vector, was not very good at bootstrapping the device. To
follow will be a replacement explicit reseed knob.

* Separate out all the RANDOM_PURE sources into separate harvest
entities. This adds some secuity in the case where more than one
is present.

Remove short-lived idea; thread to harvest (eg) RDRAND enropy into the
usual harvest queues. It was a nifty idea, but too heavyweight.

Snapshot; Do some running repairs on entropy harvesting. More needs
to follow.

Snapshot of current work;

1) Clean up namespace; only use "Yarrow" where it is Yarrow-specific
or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral
name.

2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could
be done here.

3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter;
128 bits will last for long enough.

There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed
at a later stage.

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE")
 * It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
   the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
   it should belong in a manual page

2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
 * rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()

3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"

Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.

4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.

The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)

5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block

6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow

57b9540060 The device vnodes are often unlocked when bread() or bwrite() is
called.  This probably should be fixed eventually, but for now it is
not needed to try to flush such vnodes from the buffer allocation
context.

d973ab2c23 Do not flush buffers when the v_object of the passed vnode does not
really belong to it. Such vnodes, with the pointers to other vnodes
v_objects, are typically instantiated by the bypass filesystems.
Invalidating mappings of other vnode pages and the pages is wrong,
since reclamation of the upper vnode does not imply that lower vnode
is reclaimed too.

One of the consequences of the improper reclamation was destruction of
the wired mappings of the lower vnode pages, triggering miscellaneous
assertions in the VM system.

7ff487b3a2 When growing the file descriptor table, new larger memory chunk is
allocated, but the old table is kept around to handle the case of
threads still performing unlocked accesses to it.

Grow the table exponentially instead of increasing its size by
sizeof(long) * 8 chunks when overflowing. This mode significantly
reduces the total memory use for the processes consuming large numbers
of the file descriptors which open them one by one.
