Add forward compatibility so that new binaries can run on old
kernels. If the new system call from ino64 isn't available on your
system, then the old one will be used and the results translated. The
stat and statfs families of functions are fully emulated. While not
required by policy, in this case it is helpful to our users to provide
this compatibility. In this case, it allows rollback of the kernel
after installing a new userland should a problem be discovered. It
also prevents foot-shooting if a user does an install before rebooting
with the new kernel. Finally, it allows the use case where one needs
to run new binaries on an old kernel as part of an upgrade process.
The getdirentries family uses tricks that may not work on remote
filesystems. Specifically, it uses a buffer 1/4 the size requested to
get the data from he old syscall.
The code carefully uses direct syscalls for old system calls to avoid
referencing freebsd11_* symbols, which contaminate ld-elf.so.1's
export table due to its use of stat functions, which causes errno to
be incorrect in client programs due to the wrong *stat* function being
resolved in some cases.
This code should removed sometime after 12 is branched.
Tested on: 12-current binaries on a 10.3-beta kernel run and return
consistent results. 12-current kernel and userland with
packages from before ino64 was committed also work.

the default partition, eMMC v4.41 and later devices can additionally
provide up to:
1 enhanced user data area partition
2 boot partitions
1 RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block) partition
4 general purpose partitions (optionally with a enhanced or extended
attribute)
Of these "partitions", only the enhanced user data area one actually
slices the user data area partition and, thus, gets handled with the
help of geom_flashmap(4). The other types of partitions have address
space independent from the default partition and need to be switched
to via CMD6 (SWITCH), i. e. constitute a set of additional "disks".
The second kind of these "partitions" doesn't fit that well into the
design of mmc(4) and mmcsd(4). I've decided to let mmcsd(4) hook all
of these "partitions" up as disk(9)'s (except for the RPMB partition
as it didn't seem to make much sense to be able to put a file-system
there and may require authentication; therefore, RPMB partitions are
solely accessible via the newly added IOCTL interface currently; see
also below). This approach for one resulted in cleaner code. Second,
it retains the notion of mmcsd(4) children corresponding to a single
physical device each. With the addition of some layering violations,
it also would have been possible for mmc(4) to add separate mmcsd(4)
instances with one disk each for all of these "partitions", however.
Still, both mmc(4) and mmcsd(4) share some common code now e. g. for
issuing CMD6, which has been factored out into mmc_subr.c.
Besides simply subdividing eMMC devices, some Intel NUCs having UEFI
code in the boot partitions etc., another use case for the partition
support is the activation of pseudo-SLC mode, which manufacturers of
eMMC chips typically associate with the enhanced user data area and/
or the enhanced attribute of general purpose partitions.
CAVEAT EMPTOR: Partitioning eMMC devices is a one-time operation.
- Now that properly issuing CMD6 is crucial (so data isn't written to
the wrong partition for example), make a step into the direction of
correctly handling the timeout for these commands in the MMC layer.
Also, do a SEND_STATUS when CMD6 is invoked with an R1B response as
recommended by relevant specifications. However, quite some work is
left to be done in this regard; all other R1B-type commands done by
the MMC layer also should be followed by a SEND_STATUS (CMD13), the
erase timeout calculations/handling as documented in specifications
are entirely ignored so far, the MMC layer doesn't provide timeouts
applicable up to the bridge drivers and at least sdhci(4) currently
is hardcoding 1 s as timeout for all command types unconditionally.
Let alone already available return codes often not being checked in
the MMC layer ...
- Add an IOCTL interface to mmcsd(4); this is sufficiently compatible
with Linux so that the GNU mmc-utils can be ported to and used with
FreeBSD (note that due to the remaining deficiencies outlined above
SANITIZE operations issued by/with `mmc` currently most likely will
fail). These latter will be added to ports as sysutils/mmc-utils in
a bit. Among others, the `mmc` tool of the GNU mmc-utils allows for
partitioning eMMC devices (tested working).
- For devices following the eMMC specification v4.41 or later, year 0
is 2013 rather than 1997; so correct this for assembling the device
ID string properly.
- Let mmcsd.ko depend on mmc.ko. Additionally, bump MMC_VERSION as at
least for some of the above a matching pair is required.
- In the ACPI front-end of sdhci(4) describe the Intel eMMC and SDXC
controllers as such in order to match the PCI one.
Additionally, in the entry for the 80860F14 SDXC controller remove
the eMMC-only SDHCI_QUIRK_INTEL_POWER_UP_RESET.

vmpage requires struct pmap to exist and contain a pm_stats field. As of
r308817, either AIM or BOOKE is required to be set in order to get their
respective pmap structs. Rather than expose them both, or try to unify them
unnecessarily, add a third option which contains only a pm_stats field, and
change the two existing pmap structures to place the common fields at the
beginning of the struct. This actually fixes the stats collection by libkvm on
AIM hardware, because before it was accessing a possibly different offset, which
would cause it to read garbage.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to denote this ABI change, so that ports which depend on
libkvm can be rebuilt.
Summary:
The hardware does not expose a classic SMBus interface.
Instead it has a lower level interface that can express a far richer
I2C protocol than what smbus offers. However, the interface does not
provide a way to explicitly generate the I2C stop and start conditions.
It's only possible to request that the stop condition is generated
after transferring the next byte in either direction. So, at least
one data byte must always be transferred.
Thus, some I2C sequences are impossible to generate, e.g., an equivalent
of smbus quick command (<start>-<slave addr>-<r/w bit>-<stop>).
At the same time isl(4) and cyapa(4) are moved to iicbus and now they use
iicbus_transfer for communication. Previously they used smbus_trans()
interface that is not defined by the SMBus protocol and was implemented
only by ig4(4). In fact, that interface was impossible to implement
for the typical SMBus controllers like intpm(4) or ichsmb(4) where
a type of the SMBus command must be programmed.
The plan is to remove smbus_trans() and all its uses.
As an aside, the smbus_trans() method deviates from the standard,
but perhaps backwards, FreeBSD convention of using 8-bit slave
addresses (shifted by 1 bit to the left). The method expects
7-bit addresses.
There is a user facing consequence of this change.
A user must now provide device hints for isl and cyapa that specify an iicbus to use
and a slave address on it.
On Chromebook hardware where isl and cyapa devices are commonly found
it is also possible to use a new chromebook_platform(4) driver that
automatically configures isl and cyapa devices. There is no need to
provide the device hints in that case,
Right now smbus(4) driver tries to discover all slaves on the bus.
That is very dangerous. Fortunately, the probing code uses smbus_trans()
to do its job, so it is really enabled for ig4 only.
The plan is to remove that auto-probing code and smbus_trans().

Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is

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

On some architectures, u_long isn't large enough for resource definitions.
Particularly, powerpc and arm allow 36-bit (or larger) physical addresses, but
type `long' is only 32-bit. This extends rman's resources to uintmax_t. With
this change, any resource can feasibly be placed anywhere in physical memory
(within the constraints of the driver).
Why uintmax_t and not something machine dependent, or uint64_t? Though it's
possible for uintmax_t to grow, it's highly unlikely it will become 128-bit on
32-bit architectures. 64-bit architectures should have plenty of RAM to absorb
the increase on resource sizes if and when this occurs, and the number of
resources on memory-constrained systems should be sufficiently small as to not
pose a drastic overhead. That being said, uintmax_t was chosen for source
clarity. If it's specified as uint64_t, all printf()-like calls would either
need casts to uintmax_t, or be littered with PRI*64 macros. Casts to uintmax_t
aren't horrible, but it would also bake into the API for
resource_list_print_type() either a hidden assumption that entries get cast to
uintmax_t for printing, or these calls would need the PRI*64 macros. Since
source code is meant to be read more often than written, I chose the clearest
path of simply using uintmax_t.

Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
in src.conf(5).

Say it with me, "I will not chain commands with && in Makefiles"
This was originally fixed and explained quite well by bde@ in r36074. The
initial bmake integration caused 'set -e' to stop being used which lead to
r252419. Later 'set -e' expectations were fixed with bmake in r254980.
Because of the && here, errors would be ignored when building in parallel and
a dependency failed. Such as bootstrap-tools since it builds everything in
parallel. If any tool failed in obj/depend/all, it would just ignore the error
and continue to build. This later would result in cascaded errors that only
confused the real issue. This could also cause commands after the failed
command to still execute, leading to more confusion.
This should be fine if the command is in a sub-shell such as: (cmd1 && cmd2)
This reverts r252419.

inconsistency when installing new locales and may also result in failures
when reinstalling after having run make delete-old (due to previous
inconsistencies) for now recommand removing all locales until install(1) is
fixed
