Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these ire likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.

Ths change consists of two parts.
geom_disk: deny opening a disk for writing if it's marked as
write-protected. A new disk(9) flag is added to mark write protected
disks. A possible alternative could be to add another parameter to d_open,
so that the open mode could be passed to it and the disk drivers could
make the decision internally, but the flag required less churn.
scsi_da: add a new phase of disk probing to query the all pages mode
sense page. We can determine if the disk is write protected using bit 7
of the device specific field in the mode parameter header returned by
MODE SENSE.

We would previously just free the request BIO, which would either cause
the disk to stay stuck in the SYNCHRONIZING state, or result in
synchronization completing without having copied the block which
returned an error.
With this change, if the disk which returned an error is the only active
disk in the mirror, the synchronizing disk is kicked out. Otherwise, the
read is retried.

- BIO_FLUSH requests were dispatched to the disks directly from
g_mirror_start() rather than going through the mirror's I/O request
queue, so they could have been reordered with preceding writes.
Address this by processing such requests from the queue, avoiding
direct dispatch.
- Handling for collisions with synchronization requests was too
fine-grained and could cause reordering of writes. In particular,
BIO_ORDERED was not being honoured. Address this by effectively
freezing the request queue any time a collision with a synchronization
request occurs. The queue is unfrozen once the collision with the
first frozen request is over.
- The above-mentioned collision handling allowed reads to jump ahead
of writes to the same offset. Address this by freezing all request
types when a collision occurs, not just BIO_WRITEs and BIO_DELETEs.
Also add some more fail points for use in testing error handling.

are places where the "main thread" of the booting kernel (either the
thread which later becomes swapper or the thread which later becomes
init) has to stop and wait for action to take place in another thread
before continuing.
There are currently three such holds:
1. The intr_config_hooks SYSINIT waits for hooks registered via the
config_intrhook_establish function; this allows (typically) devices
which need interrupts enabled to complete their initialization to do
so before root is mounted.
2. The g_waitidle function waits for the GEOM event queue to be empty;
this ensures that all of the disks which have been attached have been
tasted before we attempt to mount root.
3. The vfs_mountroot_wait function (in addition to calling g_waitidle)
waits for holds registered via root_mount_hold; among other things, this
is used by the USB subsystem to ensure that we don't fail to mount root
if it's located on a USB disk which takes a while to probe.
The license merging in r109471 didn't take into account that licensing
could change. Just removing the 3rd clause obviates the copyright
assignment to the NetBSD Foundation.
We do have plenty of files that have two or more licensing as in this
case, so fix this properly by splitting back the licenses as they are
upstream.
Obtained from: NetBSD
Part of this file originated in NetBSD, with the original file
carrying two versions of 4-clause BSD licenses. r109471 attempted to
simplify the situation by putting both licenses together.
Meanwhile, NetBSD dropped Clauses 3 and 4 from their own license, and
eventually NetBSD got permission from the University of Utah to drop the
3rd clause.
Keep the license "simple" by dropping the third clause since both TNF,
Utah/Berkeley and phk agree in principle that it can be dropped.

g_mirror_event_send() acquires the I/O queue lock to deliver a wakeup
to the worker thread, and this is done after enqueuing the event.
So it's sufficient to check the event queue before atomically releasing

We periodically record synchronization progress in the metadata
block of the disk being synchronized; this allows an interrupted
synchronization to be resumed. However, the frequency of these
updates heavily pessimized synchronization time on some media. This
change modifies gmirror to update metadata based on a time period,
and adds a sysctl to control that period. The default value results
in a much lower update frequency and increases the completion time
for an interrupted rebuild only marginally.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
A negative value can be used to suppress all prints from the gmirror

This geom does not immediately detach its consumer relying on the
wither-washer to do that. Since that happens asynchronously we may get
additional spoiling events. So, we need to account for that.
There are multiple options for fixing this issue like detaching
immediately or checking for G_CF_ORPHAN in g_slice_spoiled().
The most reliable and least intrusive fix seems to be setting
geom->softc to NULL on the first call and checking for NULL on
subsequent calls. This is something that the code did before r325227.

(struct g_slicer) even before calling g_wither_geom, so there can

This commit changes the code to destroy the softc only after all

When using a kernel built with the GZIO config option, dumpon -z can be
used to configure gzip compression using the in-kernel copy of zlib.
This is useful on systems with large amounts of RAM, which require a
correspondingly large dump device. Recovery of compressed dumps is also
faster since fewer bytes need to be copied from the dump device.
Because we have no way of knowing the final size of a compressed dump
until it is written, the kernel will always attempt to dump when
compression is configured, regardless of the dump device size. If the
dump is aborted because we run out of space, an error is reported on
the console.
savecore(8) is modified to handle compressed dumps and save them to
vmcore.<index>.gz, as it does when given the -z option.
A new rc.conf variable, dumpon_flags, is added. Its value is added to
the boot-time dumpon(8) invocation that occurs when a dump device is
configured in rc.conf.

In theory, all data access errors mean that a member is out of sync
at most. But they were treated as more serious errors to avoid the
situation where a flaky disk gets repeatedly disconnected, re-synchronized,
reconnected and then disconnected again.
ENXIO is a special error that means that the member disk disappeared,
so it should get the same handling as the GEOM orphaning event.
There is a better chance that when the disk is reconnected, it will be
a good member again.
When ENXIO happens on a read we use the exisiting G_MIRROR_BUMP_SYNCID
mechanism which means that the mirror's syncid is increased as soon
as there is a write to the mirror. That's because no data has got out
of sync yet, but the problematic memeber is disconnected, so the future
write will make it stale.
When ENXIO happens on a write we use a new G_MIRROR_BUMP_SYNCID_NOW
mechanism which means that we update the mirror metadata as soon as
possible because the problematic memeber is already behind.

In integrity mode, a larger logical sector (e.g., 4096 bytes) spans several
physical sectors (e.g., 512 bytes) on the backing device. Due to hash
overhead, a 4096 byte logical sector takes 8.5625 512-byte physical sectors.
This means that only 288 bytes (256 data + 32 hash) of the last 512 byte
sector are used.
The memory allocation used to store the encrypted data to be written to the
physical sectors comes from malloc(9) and does not use M_ZERO.
Previously, nothing initialized the final physical sector backing each
logical sector, aside from the hash + encrypted data portion. So 224 bytes
of kernel heap memory was leaked to every block :-(.
This patch addresses the issue by initializing the trailing portion of the
physical sector in every logical sector to zeros before use. A much simpler
but higher overhead fix would be to tag the entire allocation M_ZERO.

the g_journal level needs to check whether it is holding a newer
copy of the block than that which exists on the disk. If so, it
needs to return its copy. If not, it should pass the request down
to the disk to fulfill. It currently considers six queues:
0) delayed queue,
1) unsent (current queue),
2) in-flight to the journal (flush queue),
3) active journal (active queue),
4) inactive journal (inactive queue), and
5) inflight to the disk (copy queue).
Checking on two of these queues is unnecessary:
0) The delayed requests should not be used for reads because they
have not yet been entered into the journal, so their value should
reflect the disk contents, not the future contents that are not
yet committed.
2) Because all the bio's in the flush queue are also found on the
active queue, there is no need to inspect the flush queue for
reads since they will be found when searching the active queue.
