New version is not compatible on supervisor mode with v1.9.1
(previous version).
Highlights:
o BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) provides no initial page tables
anymore allowing us to choose VM, to build page tables manually
and enable MMU in S-mode.
o SBI interface changed.
o GENERIC kernel.
FDT is now chosen standard for RISC-V hardware description.
DTB is now provided by Spike (golden model simulator). This
allows us to introduce GENERIC kernel. However, description
for console and timer devices is not provided in DTB, so move
these devices temporary to nexus bus.
o Supervisor can't access userspace by default. Solution is to
set SUM (permit Supervisor User Memory access) bit in sstatus
register.
o Compressed extension is now turned on by default.
o External GCC 7.1 compiler used.
o _gp renamed to __global_pointer$
o Compiler -march= string is now in use allowing us to choose
required extensions (compressed, FPU, atomic, etc).

--Remove special-case handling of sparc64 bus_dmamap* functions.
Replace with a more generic mechanism that allows MD busdma
implementations to generate inline mapping functions by
defining WANT_INLINE_DMAMAP in <machine/bus_dma.h>. This
is currently useful for sparc64, x86, and arm64, which all
implement non-load dmamap operations as simple wrappers
around map objects which may be bus- or device-specific.
--Remove NULL-checked bus_dmamap macros. Implement the
equivalent NULL checks in the inlined x86 implementation.
For non-x86 platforms, these checks are a minor pessimization
as those platforms do not currently allow NULL maps. NULL
maps were originally allowed on arm64, which appears to have
been the motivation behind adding arm[64]-specific barriers
to bus_dma.h, but that support was removed in r299463.
--Simplify the internal interface used by the bus_dmamap_load*
variants and move it to bus_dma_internal.h
--Fix some drivers that directly include sys/bus_dma.h
despite the recommendations of bus_dma(9)

struct thread.
For all architectures, the syscall trap handlers have to allocate the
structure on the stack. The structure takes 88 bytes on 64bit arches
which is not negligible. Also, it cannot be easily found by other
code, which e.g. caused duplication of some members of the structure
to struct thread already. The change removes td_dbg_sc_code and
td_dbg_sc_nargs which were directly copied from syscall_args.
The structure is put into the copied on fork part of the struct thread
to make the syscall arguments information correct in the child after
fork.
This move will also allow several more uses shortly.

Move PMAP_TS_REFERENCED_MAX out of the various pmap implementations and
into vm/pmap.h, and describe what its purpose is. Eliminate the archaic
"XXX" comment about its value. I don't believe that its exact value, e.g.,
5 versus 6, matters.
Update the arm64 and riscv pmap implementations of pmap_ts_referenced()
to opportunistically update the page's dirty field.
On amd64, use the PDE value already cached in a local variable rather than
dereferencing a pointer again and again.

Idle page zeroing has been disabled by default on all architectures since
r170816 and has some bugs that make it seemingly unusable. Specifically,
the idle-priority pagezero thread exacerbates contention for the free page
lock, and yields the CPU without releasing it in non-preemptive kernels. The
pagezero thread also does not behave correctly when superpage reservations
are enabled: its target is a function of v_free_count, which includes
reserved-but-free pages, but it is only able to zero pages belonging to the
physical memory allocator.

Machine privilege level was specially designed to use in vendor's
firmware or bootloader. We have implemented operation in machine
mode in FreeBSD as part of understanding RISC-V ISA, but it is time
to remove it.
We now use BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) -- standard RISC-V firmware,
which provides operation in machine mode for us.
We now use standard SBI calls to machine mode, instead of handmade
'syscalls'.
o Remove HTIF bus.
HTIF bus is now legacy and no longer exists in RISC-V specification.
HTIF code still exists in Spike simulator, but BBL do not provide
raw interface to it.
Memory disk is only choice for now to have multiuser booted in Spike,
until Spike has implemented more devices (e.g. Virtio, etc).

memory system.
RISC-V ISA has only single page table base register for both kernel
and user addresses translation. Before this commit we were using an
extra (4th) level of pagetables for switching between kernel and user
pagetables, but then realized FPGA hardware has 3-level page system
hardcoded. It is also become clear that the bitfile synthesized for
4-level system is untested/broken, so we can't use extra level for
switching.
We are now share level 1 of pagetables between kernel and user VA.
This requires to keep track of all the user pmaps created and once we
adding L1 page to kernel pmap we have to add it to all the user pmaps.
o Change the VM layout as we must have topmost bit to be 1 in the
selected page system for kernel addresses and 0 for user addresses.
o Implement pmap_kenter_device().
o Create the l3 tables for the early devmap.

Sounds strange, but both RocketCore and lowRISC do not operate
if we set it.
All the known implementations (Spike, QEMU, RocketCore, lowRISC) uses
default machine trap vector address and operates fine with this.
Original Berkeley Boot Loader (bbl) does not set this as well.

There is no need to clear all the DDR memory (we only need to clear
BSS section).
I was playing with non-default version of hardware (the bitfile
synthesized for 4-level page memory system) and clearing was helpful,
but then realized support for 4-level page system is untested/broken
in both RocketCore and lowRISC.
Summary:
As part of the migration of rman_res_t to be typed to uintmax_t, memory ranges
must be clamped appropriately for the bus, to prevent completely bogus addresses
from being used.
This is extracted from D4544.
