a device pager (OBJT_DEVICE) object in that it uses fictitious pages to
provide aliases to other memory addresses. The primary difference is that
it uses an sglist(9) to determine the physical addresses for a given offset
into the object instead of invoking the d_mmap() method in a device driver.

On some ARM variations CPU func dispatcher has the D-cache invalidate method
point to write-back invalidate, which is wrong, and can lead to a crash/panic

a) nocache-remap problem
When a page is remapped into a non-cacheable virtual memory region there
was no associated write-back invalidate operation performed. We remove
writeback of the original buffer size from bus_dmamem_alloc() and add
appropriate L1/L2 flush operation.
b) missing write-back invalidate operation
In pmap_kremove a page is removed so we must do a write-back
invalidate operation aligned to the page virtual address.

dependent memory attributes:
Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.
Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.
Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:
kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.
vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
memory attributes.
Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.
Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they

- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

driver's i/o ops must be locked to avoid chaos. Extend the cambria
bus tag to support ata and add a spin lock. The ata driver is
hacked to use that instead of it's builtin hack for ixp425. Once
the ata driver is fixed to not be confused about byte order we can
generalize the cambria bus tag code and make it generally useful.
While here take advantage of our being ixp435-specific to remove
delays when switching between byte+word accesses and to eliminate
the 2us delay for the uarts (the spin lock overhead looks to do
this for us).

causes both to become inoperative; this apparently was done by the original
IAL code as a workaround for IMEM parity errors which we've not seen so
just disable the reset.
Note this problem does not occur on IXP425 boards. The linux driver does
fuse-resets on each NPE but in the order NPE-A < NPE-B < NPE-C (when probing
for which NPE's are present/operational); we may want to switch to a similar
scheme but for now disable the resets until we see an issue.

o set the port address "just in case"
o add NPE-A support to the tx done qmgr callback
so that it isn't exposured unless needed. In particular this means
that it's easier to tune the memory layout based on board details.
While here, remove inclusion of <machine/intr.h> from mvreg.h. This
also contains exposure to SoC specifics in MI drivers, because NIRQ
depends on the SoC.
the implementation can guarantee forward progress in the event of
a stuck interrupt or interrupt storm. This is especially critical

case. When first called, arm_get_next_irq() is passed -1.

When pages are removed from virtual address space by calling pmap_remove_all()
CPU caches were not invalidated, which led to read corruption when another
page got mapped at this same virtual address at later time (the CPU was

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

The system hostname is now stored in prison0, and the global variable
"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex. Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system. The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL. The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.
The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.
