Research Unix, 7th Edition introduced TIMEZONE and DSTFLAG
compile-time constants in sys/param.h to communicate these values for
the machine. 4.2BSD moved from the compile-time to run-time and
introduced these variables and used for localtime() to return the
right offset from UTC (sometimes referred to as GMT, for this purpose
is the same). 4.4BSD migrated to using the tzdata code/database and
these variables were basically unused.
FreeBSD removed the real need for these with adjkerntz in
1995. However, some RTC clocks continued to use these variables,
though they were largely unused otherwise. Later, phk centeralized
most of the uses in utc_offset, but left it using both tz_minuteswest
and adjkerntz.
POSIX (IEEE Std 1003.1-2017) states in the gettimeofday specification
"If tzp is not a null pointer, the behavior is unspecified" so there's
no standards reason to retain it anymore. In fact, gettimeofday has
been marked as obsolecent, meaning it could be removed from a future
release of the standard. It is the only interface defined in POSIX
that references these two values. All other references come from the
tzdata database via tzset().
These were used to more faithfully implement early unix ABIs which
have been removed from FreeBSD. NetBSD has completely eliminated
these variables years ago. Linux has migrated to tzdata as well,
though these variables technically still exist for compatibility
with unspecified older programs.
So, there's no real reason to have them these days. They are a
historical vestige that's no longer used in any meaningful way.

When a vCPU is HLTed, interrupts with a priority below the processor
priority (PPR) should not resume the vCPU while interrupts at or above
the PPR should. With posted interrupts, bhyve maintains a bitmap of
pending interrupts in PIR descriptor along with a single 'pending'
bit. This bit is checked by a CPU running in guest mode at various
places to determine if it should be checked. In addition, another CPU
can force a CPU in guest mode to check for pending interrupts by
sending an IPI to a special IDT vector reserved for this purpose.
bhyve had a bug in that it would only notify a guest vCPU of an
interrupt (e.g. by sending the special IPI or by resuming it if it was
idle due to HLT) if an interrupt arrived that was higher priority than
PPR and no interrupts were currently pending. This assumed that if
the 'pending' bit was set, any needed notification was already in
progress. However, if the first interrupt sent to a HLTed vCPU was
lower priority than PPR and the second was higher than PPR, the first
interrupt would set 'pending' but not notify the vCPU, and the second
interrupt would not notify the vCPU because 'pending' was already set.
To fix this, track the priority of pending interrupts in a separate
per-vCPU bitmask and notify a vCPU anytime an interrupt arrives that
is above PPR and higher than any previously-received interrupt.
This was found and debugged in the bhyve port to SmartOS maintained by
Joyent. Relevant SmartOS bugs with more background:

With this change, randomization can be enabled for all non-fixed
mappings. It means that the base address for the mapping is selected
with a guaranteed amount of entropy (bits). If the mapping was
requested to be superpage aligned, the randomization honours the
superpage attributes.
Although the value of ASLR is diminshing over time as exploit authors
work out simple ASLR bypass techniques, it elimintates the trivial
exploitation of certain vulnerabilities, at least in theory. This
implementation is relatively small and happens at the correct
architectural level. Also, it is not expected to introduce
regressions in existing cases when turned off (default for now), or
cause any significant maintaince burden.
The randomization is done on a best-effort basis - that is, the
allocator falls back to a first fit strategy if fragmentation prevents
entropy injection. It is trivial to implement a strong mode where
failure to guarantee the requested amount of entropy results in
mapping request failure, but I do not consider that to be usable.
I have not fine-tuned the amount of entropy injected right now. It is
only a quantitive change that will not change the implementation. The
current amount is controlled by aslr_pages_rnd.
To not spoil coalescing optimizations, to reduce the page table
fragmentation inherent to ASLR, and to keep the transient superpage
promotion for the malloced memory, locality clustering is implemented
for anonymous private mappings, which are automatically grouped until
fragmentation kicks in. The initial location for the anon group range
is, of course, randomized. This is controlled by vm.cluster_anon,
enabled by default.
The default mode keeps the sbrk area unpopulated by other mappings,
but this can be turned off, which gives much more breathing bits on
architectures with small address space, such as i386. This is tied
with the question of following an application's hint about the mmap(2)
base address. Testing shows that ignoring the hint does not affect the
function of common applications, but I would expect more demanding
code could break. By default sbrk is preserved and mmap hints are
satisfied, which can be changed by using the
kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.honor_sbrk sysctl.
ASLR is enabled on per-ABI basis, and currently it is only allowed on
FreeBSD native i386 and amd64 (including compat 32bit) ABIs. Support
for additional architectures will be added after further testing.
Both per-process and per-image controls are implemented:
- procctl(2) adds PROC_ASLR_CTL/PROC_ASLR_STATUS;
- NT_FREEBSD_FCTL_ASLR_DISABLE feature control note bit makes it possible
to force ASLR off for the given binary. (A tool to edit the feature
control note is in development.)
Global controls are:
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.enable - for non-fixed mappings done by mmap(2);
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.pie_enable - for PIE image activation mappings;
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.honor_sbrk - allow to use sbrk area for mmap(2);
- vm.cluster_anon - enables anon mapping clustering.

vmm's CPUID emulation presented Intel topology information to the guest, but
disabled AMD topology information and in some cases passed through garbage.
I.e., CPUID leaves 0x8000_001[de] were passed through to the guest, but
guest CPUs can migrate between host threads, so the information presented
was not consistent. This could easily be observed with 'cpucontrol -i 0xfoo
/dev/cpuctl0'.
Slightly improve this situation by enabling the AMD topology feature flag
and presenting at least the CPUID fields used by FreeBSD itself to probe
topology on more modern AMD64 hardware (Family 15h+). Older stuff is
probably less interesting. I have not been able to empirically confirm it
is sufficient, but it should not regress anything either.

When building with KCOV enabled the compiler will insert function calls
to probes allowing us to trace the execution of the kernel from userspace.
These probes are on function entry (trace-pc) and on comparison operations
(trace-cmp).
Userspace can enable the use of these probes on a single kernel thread with
an ioctl interface. It can allocate space for the probe with KIOSETBUFSIZE,
then mmap the allocated buffer and enable tracing with KIOENABLE, with the
trace mode being passed in as the int argument. When complete KIODISABLE
is used to disable tracing.
The first item in the buffer is the number of trace event that have
happened. Userspace can write 0 to this to reset the tracing, and is
expected to do so on first use.
The format of the buffer depends on the trace mode. When in PC tracing just
the return address of the probe is stored. Under comparison tracing the
comparison type, the two arguments, and the return address are traced. The
former method uses on entry per trace event, while the later uses 4. As
such they are incompatible so only a single mode may be enabled.
KCOV is expected to help fuzzing the kernel, and while in development has
already found a number of issues. It is required for the syzkaller system
call fuzzer [1]. Other kernel fuzzers could also make use of it, either
with the current interface, or by extending it with new modes.
A man page is currently being worked on and is expected to be committed
soon, however having the code in the kernel now is useful for other
developers to use.

Instead of jumping to locations which store the exact number of bytes,
use displacement to move the destination.
In particular the following clears an area between 8-16 (inclusive)
branch-free:
movq %r10,(%rdi)
movq %r10,-8(%rdi,%rcx)
For instance for rcx of 10 the second line is rdi + 10 - 8 = rdi + 2.
Writing 8 bytes starting at that offset overlaps with 6 bytes written
previously and writes 2 new, giving 10 in total.
Provides a nice win for smaller stores. Other ones are erratic depending
on the microarchitecture.

linux_ioctl_(un)register_handler that allows other driver modules to
register ioctl handlers. The ioctl syscall implementation in each Linux
compat module iterates over the list of handlers and forwards the call to
the appropriate driver. Because the registration functions have the same
name in each module it is not possible for a driver to support both 32 and
64 bit linux compatibility.
Move the list of ioctl handlers to linux_common.ko so it is shared by
both Linux modules and all drivers receive both 32 and 64 bit ioctl calls
with one registration. These ioctl handlers normally forward the call
to the FreeBSD ioctl handler which can handle both 32 and 64 bit.
Keep the special COMPAT_LINUX32 ioctl handlers in linux.ko in a separate
list for now and let the ioctl syscall iterate over that list first.
Later, COMPAT_LINUX32 support can be added to the 64 bit ioctl handlers
via a runtime check for ILP32 like is done for COMPAT_FREEBSD32 and then
this separate list would disappear again. That is a much bigger effort
however and this commit is meant to be MFCable.
