This variable should be pure MI except possibly for reading it in MD
dump routines. Its initialization was pure MD in 4.4BSD, but FreeBSD
changed this in r36441 in 1998. There were many imperfections in
r36441. This commit fixes only a small one, to simplify fixing the
others 1 arch at a time. (r47678 added support for
special/early/multiple message buffer initialization which I want in
a more general form, but this was too fragile to use because hacking
on the msgbufp global corrupted it, and was only used for 5 hours in
-current...)
A correct destruction is important for WITNESS(4) and LOCK_PROFILING(9).

started, but also by the turnstiles to mark a thread as runnable for
all locks, for instance sleepqueues do:
setrunnable()->sched_wakeup()->sched_add()
In r326218 code was added to allow booting from non-zero CPU numbers
by setting the ts_cpu field inside the ULE scheduler's sched_add()
function. This had an undesired side-effect that prior sched_pin() and
sched_bind() calls got disregarded. This patch fixes the
initialization of the ts_cpu field for the ULE scheduler to only
happen once when the initial thread is constructed during system
init. Forking will then later on ensure that a valid ts_cpu value gets
copied to all children.

The arena argument to kmem_*() is now only used in an assert. A follow-up
commit will remove the argument altogether before we freeze the API for the
next release.
This replaces the hard limit on kmem size with a soft limit imposed by UMA. When
the soft limit is exceeded we periodically wakeup the UMA reclaim thread to
attempt to shrink KVA. On 32bit architectures this should behave much more
gracefully as we exhaust KVA. On 64bit the limits are likely never hit.

is up to the caller to check for a NULL return value. The assert was meant
to catch buggy code that did not check the return value. Some code, however,
was smart and used the return value to see if a CPU existed, which this
broke.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

When waiters/writer spinner flags are set no new readers can show up unless
they already have a different rw rock read locked. The change in r326195 failed
to take that into account - in presence of new readers it would spin until
they all drain, which would be lead to trouble if e.g. they go off cpu and
can get scheduled because of this thread.

sleepq is only locked if the curhtread is the last reader. By the time
the lock gets acquired new ones could have arrived. The previous code
would unlock and loop back. This results spurious relocking of sleepq.
This is a step towards xadd-based unlock routine.
In order to go to sleep threads set waiter flags, but that can spuriously
fail e.g. when a new reader arrives. Instead of unlocking everything and
looping back, re-evaluate the new state while still holding the lock necessary
to go to sleep.
- Add a new KTR_STRUCT_ARRAY ktrace record type which dumps an array of
structures.
The structure name in the record payload is preceded by a size_t
containing the size of the individual structures. Use this to
replace the previous code that dumped the kevent arrays dumped for
kevent(). kdump is now able to decode the kevent structures rather
than dumping their contents via a hexdump.
One change from before is that the 'changes' and 'events' arrays are
not marked with separate 'read' and 'write' annotations in kdump
output. Instead, the first array is the 'changes' array, and the
second array (only present if kevent doesn't fail with an error) is
the 'events' array. For kevent(), empty arrays are denoted by an
entry with an array containing zero entries rather than no record.
- Move kevent decoding tables from truss to libsysdecode.
This adds three new functions to decode members of struct kevent:
sysdecode_kevent_filter, sysdecode_kevent_flags, and
sysdecode_kevent_fflags.
kdump uses these helper functions to pretty-print kevent fields.
- Move structure definitions for freebsd11 and freebsd32 kevent
structures to <sys/event.h> so that they can be shared with userland.
The 32-bit structures are only exposed if _WANT_KEVENT32 is defined.
The freebsd11 structures are only exposed if _WANT_FREEBSD11_KEVENT is
defined. The 32-bit freebsd11 structure requires both.
- Decode freebsd11 kevent structures in truss for the compat11.kevent()
system call.
- Log 32-bit kevent structures via ktrace for 32-bit compat kevent()
system calls.
- While here, constify the 'void *data' argument to ktrstruct().

Upon successful completion, the execve() system call invokes
exec_setregs() to initialize the registers of the initial thread of the
newly executed process. What is weird is that when execve() returns, it
still goes through the normal system call return path, clobbering the
registers with the system call's return value (td->td_retval).
Though this doesn't seem to be problematic for x86 most of the times (as
the value of eax/rax doesn't matter upon startup), this can be pretty
frustrating for architectures where function argument and return
registers overlap (e.g., ARM). On these systems, exec_setregs() also
needs to initialize td_retval.
Even worse are architectures where cpu_set_syscall_retval() sets
registers to values not derived from td_retval. On these architectures,
there is no way cpu_set_syscall_retval() can set registers to the way it
wants them to be upon the start of execution.
To get rid of this madness, let sys_execve() return EJUSTRETURN. This
will cause cpu_set_syscall_retval() to leave registers intact. This
makes process execution easier to understand. It also eliminates the
difference between execution of the initial process and successive ones.
The initial call to sys_execve() is not performed through a system call
context.

An assertion was modified to use the found value, but it was not updated to
handle a race where blocked threads appear after the entrance to the func.
Move the assertion down to the area protected with sleepq lock where the
lock is read anyway. This does not affect coverage of the assertion and
is consistent with what rw locks are doing.

This shortens the lock hold time while not affecting corretness.
All the woken up threads end up competing can lose the race against
a completely unrelated thread getting the lock anyway.
clock_ts_to_ct has a KASSERT that the converted year fits into four
digits. By default (sysctl debug.allow_insane_settime is 0) the kernel
disallows a time too far in the future, using a value of 9999 366-day
years. However, clock_settime is epoch-relative and the assertion will
fail with a tv_sec corresponding to some 8030 years.
Avoid trying to be too clever, and just use a limit of 8000 365-day
years past the epoch.

The PT_DETACH case above the sendsig: label already looped over all
threads clearing flags in td_dbgflags. Reuse this loop to clear
TDB_SUSPEND and move the logic out of the sendsig: block.
Most of the conditionals in the 'sendsig:' block are now only different
for PT_ATTACH vs other continue requests. Pull the PT_ATTACH-specific
logic up into the PT_ATTACH case and simplify the 'sendsig:' block. This
also permits moving the unlock of proctree_lock above the sendsig: label
since PT_KILL doesn't hold the lock and and the other cases all fall
through to the label.
