Policy for FreeBSD/arm64 kernel config is the same one as for x86
architectures: provide GENERIC kernel bootable on as many systems
as possible. Since there is no SMP support for RPi 3 yet new kernel
config was introduced: GENERIC-UP, which is effectively GENERIC with
SMP option disabled
not be sent to userspace, for example the future flag to tell when we are
using floating point in the kernel.

Using the device pager with /dev/kmem is not stable since KVA mappings
are transient, but the device pager caches the PA associated with a
given offset forever. Interestingly, mips' implementation of
memmap() already refused requests for /dev/kmem.
Note that kvm_read/kvm_write do not use mmap, but use read and write on
/dev/kmem, so this should not affect libkvm users.

RPI3 kernel config builds kernel compatible with latest upstream device
tree and firmware: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot
As of today it's 597c662a613df1144a6bc43e5f4505d83bd748ca
Default console is PL01x, so pi3-disable-bt dt overlay should be configured
in config.txt and stock U-Boot should be patched to use proper serial port.
Yet unsupported: SMP, VCHIQ, RNG driver. RNG requires some work due to
upstream device tree incompatibility.
Multiple people contributed to this work over time: db@, loos@, manu@
with no creative content. Include "lost" changes from git:
o Use /dev/efi instead of /dev/efidev
o Remove redundant NULL checks.

to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

PIC_SETUP_INTR implementation in GICv3 did not allow
for setting up interrupts without included FDT
description. GICv2m-like MSI interrupts, which map
MSI messages to SPI interrupt lines, may not have
a description in FDT. Add support for such interrupts
by setting the trigger and polarity to the appropriate
values for MSI (edge, high) and get the hardware
IRQ number from the corresponding ISRC.

Update the arm64 and riscv pmap implementations of pmap_ts_referenced()

page is non-executable the contents of the i-cache are unimportant so this
call is just adding unneeded overhead when inserting pages.
While doing research using gem5 with an O3 pipeline and 1k/32k/1M iTLB/L1
iCache/L2 Bjoern Zeeb (bz@) observed a fairly high rate of calls into
arm64_icache_sync_range() from pmap_enter() along with a high number of
instruction fetches and iTLB/iCache hits.
Limiting the calls to arm64_icache_sync_range() to only executable pages,
we observe the iTLB and iCache Hit going down by about 43%. These numbers
are quite misleading when looked at alone as at the same time instructions
retired were reduced by 19.2% and instruction fetches were reduced by 38.8%.
Overall this reduced the runtime of the test program by 22.4%.
On Juno hardware, in steady-state, running the same test, using the cycle
count to determine runtime, we do see a reduction of up to 28.9% in runtime.
While these numbers certainly depend on the program executed, we expect an
overall performance improvement.

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.

there is a short period where functions that walk the kernel page table
without locking them may see an invalid entry. One solution would be to add
locking to these functions, however some may be called from locations where
we are unable to sleep.
Until a better solution can be found stop promoting pages in the kernel
pmap so these functions work as expected.

In all of these source files, the userspace pointer size corresponds
with the kernelspace pointer size, meaning that casting directly works.
As I'm planning on making 32-bit execution on 64-bit systems work as
well, use TO_PTR() here as well, so that the changes between source
files remain minimal.
