kernel version introduced the sysctl (based upon a linux man-page)
- add comments to sscalls.master regarding some names of sysctls which are
different than the linux-names (based upon the linux unistd.h)
- add some dummy sysctls
- name an unimplemented sysctl

This will make every attempt to mount a non-mpsafe filesystem to the
kernel forbidden, unless it is expressely compiled with
VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option.
This patch is part of the effort of killing non-MPSAFE filesystems
from the tree.
No MFC is expected for this patch.
Winbond Super I/O chips.
With minor efforts it should be possible the extend the driver to support
further chips/revisions available from Winbond. In the simplest case
only new IDs need to be added, while different chipsets might require
their own function to enter extended function mode, etc.

amd64/i386/pc98 ptrace.h with stubs.
For amd64 PT_GETXSTATE and PT_SETXSTATE have been redefined to match the
i386 values. The old values are still supported but should no longer be
used.

In __bswap64_const(x) the conflict between 0xffUL and 0xffULL has been
resolved by reimplementing the macro in terms of __bswap32(x). As a side
effect __bswap64_var(x) is now implemented using two bswap instructions on
i386 and should be much faster. __bswap32_const(x) has been reimplemented
in terms of __bswap16(x) for consistency.
spinlock_enter()/spinlock_exit() to save/restore RFLAGS. We know interrupt

it because IRET will do it for us any way. Do not save CR3 locally because
savectx() does it and BSP does not have to switch to kernel map for amd64.

The set of the flag is not neccessary there, because the only current
user of the cpu_set_user_tls() is create_thread(), which calls
cpu_set_upcall() before and cpu_set_upcall() itself sets PCB_FULL_IRET.
Change the function for consistency and preserve existing KPI for now.

The isci driver is for the integrated SAS controller in the Intel C600
(Patsburg) chipset. Source files in sys/dev/isci directory are
FreeBSD-specific, and sys/dev/isci/scil subdirectory contains
an OS-agnostic library (SCIL) published by Intel to control the SAS
controller. This library is used primarily as-is in this driver, with
some post-processing to better integrate into the kernel build
environment.
isci.4 and a README in the sys/dev/isci directory contain a few
additional details.
This driver is only built for amd64 and i386 targets.

64bit and 32bit ABIs. As a side-effect, it enables AVX on capable
CPUs.
In particular:
- Query the CPU support for XSAVE, list of the supported extensions
and the required size of FPU save area. The hw.use_xsave tunable is
provided for disabling XSAVE, and hw.xsave_mask may be used to
select the enabled extensions.
- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the
(run-time sized) user save area on the top of the kernel stack,
right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to
postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.
- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as
well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in
dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.
- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and
enabled.
- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that
mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU
state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu
state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag,
allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended
state in the interrupted context.
- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no
place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save
area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it
impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending
getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query
extended FPU state.
- Add ptrace(2) support for getting and setting extended state; while
there, implement missed PT_I386_{GET,SET}XMMREGS for 32bit binaries.
- Change fpu_kern KPI to not expose struct fpu_kern_ctx layout to
consumers, making it opaque. Internally, struct fpu_kern_ctx now
contains a space for the extended state. Convert in-kernel consumers
of fpu_kern KPI both on i386 and amd64.

Since our in-tree binutils gas is not aware of the instructions, and
