BOOT_TAG lived shortly in sys/msgbuf.h, but this wasn't necessarily great
for changing it or removing it. Move it into subr_prf.c and add options for
it to opt_printf.h.
One can specify both the BOOT_TAG and BOOT_TAG_SZ (really, size of the
buffer that holds the BOOT_TAG). We expose it as kern.boot_tag and also add
a loader tunable by the same name that we'll fetch upon initialization of
the msgbuf.
This allows for flexibility and also ensures that there's a consistent way
to figure out the boot tag of the running kernel, rather than relying on
headers to be in-sync.

From the "newly licensed to drive" PR department, add a BOOT_TAG marker (by
default, --<<BOOT>>--, to the beginning of each boot's dmesg. This makes it
easier to do textproc magic to locate the start of each boot and, of
particular interest to some, the dmesg of the current boot.
The PR has a dmesg(8) component as well that I've opted not to include for
the moment- it was the more contentious part of this PR.
bde@ also made the statement that this boot tag should be written with an
ordinary printf, which I've- for the moment- declined to change about this
patch to keep it more transparent to observer of the boot process.

This variable should be pure MI except possibly for reading it in MD

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

on the msgbufp global corrupted it, and was only used for 5 hours in

superceed or replace the license texts.

We should work to change this so that the kernel hexdump
implementation is a wrapper around sbuf_hexdump() with a
statically allocated sbuf with a drain. That will require
a drain function that goes to the kernel printf() buffer
that can take a non-NUL terminated string as input.
That is because an sbuf isn't NUL-terminated until it is
finished, and we don't want to finish it while we're still
using it.
We should also work to consolidate the userland hexdump and
kernel hexdump implemenatations, which are currently
separate. This would also mean making applications that
currently link in libutil link in libsbuf.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Otherwise, p_bufr is set to garbage on the stack, and if that garbage
happens to be non-NULL, and the TOLOG or TOCONS flag is set, putbuf()
will get called and attempt to fill the non-existent buffer.
This is really only relevant for tprintf() (and only when the priority is
not -1), but set it in uprintf() and ttyprintf() for completeness.
The next step, to avoid log buffer scrambling, would be to add the
PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE code to tprintf(), but this should prevent panics.
Submitted by: rmacklem

While we have had a fix in place (options PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=128) to fix
scrambled console output, the message buffer and syslog were still getting
log messages one character at a time. While all of the characters still
made it into the log (courtesy of atomic operations), they were often
interleaved when there were multiple threads writing to the buffer at the
same time.
This fixes message buffer accesses to use buffering logic as well, so that
strings that are less than PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE will be put into the message
buffer atomically. So now dmesg output should look the same as console
output.
subr_msgbuf.c: Convert most message buffer calls to use a new spin
lock instead of atomic variables in some places.
Add a new routine, msgbuf_addstr(), that adds a
NUL-terminated string to a message buffer. This
takes a priority argument, which allows us to
eliminate some races (at least in the the string
at a time case) that are present in the
implementation of msglogchar(). (dangling and
lastpri are static variables, and are subject to
races when multiple callers are present.)
msgbuf_addstr() also allows the caller to request
that carriage returns be stripped out of the
string. This matches the behavior of msglogchar(),
but in testing so far it doesn't appear that any
newlines are being stripped out. So the carriage
return removal functionality may be a candidate
for removal later on if further analysis shows
that it isn't necessary.
subr_prf.c: Add a new msglogstr() routine that calls
msgbuf_logstr().
Rename putcons() to putbuf(). This now handles
buffered output to the message log as well as
the console. Also, remove the logic in putcons()
(now putbuf()) that added a carriage return before
a newline. The console path was the only path that
needed it, and cnputc() (called by cnputs())
already adds a carriage return. So this
duplication resulted in kernel-generated console
output lines ending in '\r''\r''\n'.
Refactor putchar() to handle the new buffering
scheme.
Add buffering to log().
Change log_console() to use msglogstr() instead of
msglogchar(). Don't add extra newlines by default
in log_console(). Hide that behavior behind a
tunable/sysctl (kern.log_console_add_linefeed) for
those who would like the old behavior. The old
behavior led to the insertion of extra newlines
for log output for programs that print out a
string, and then a trailing newline on a separate
write. (This is visible with dmesg -a.)
msgbuf.h: Add a prototype for msgbuf_addstr().
Add three new fields to struct msgbuf, msg_needsnl,
msg_lastpri and msg_lock. The first two are needed
for log message functionality previously handled
by msglogchar(). (Which is still active if
buffering isn't enabled.)
Include sys/lock.h and sys/mutex.h for the new
mutex.

Normally msgbufp is locked using Giant. Switch it to use the
msgbuf_lock. Instead of changing the tsleep() calls to msleep(), just
convert it to condvar(9).
In my opinion the locking around msgbuf_peekbytes() still remains
questionable. It looks like locks are dropped while performing copies of
multiple blocks to userspace, which may cause the msgbuf to be reset in
the mean time. At least getting it underneath from Giant should make it
a little easier for us to figure out how to solve that.

In r185891 I removed the newlines from messages written to /dev/console,
because it made startup messages from rc-scripts harder to read. This,
unfortunately, causes the kernel message that is printed after a
non-terminated log message to be concatenated.
This could be fixed, but on short term it's better to just revert the
change.

The /dev/console device node logs all strings that are written to it.
When the string does not contain a trailing newline, it appends one. I
can imagine this was useful a long time ago, but with our current
rc-scripts, it generates a whole bunch of messages that look like:
| Configuring syscons:
| blanktime
| .
By not appending the newlines, the output of `dmesg -a' is now (almost?)
exactly the same as what the user will see on the console device
(syscons, uart).
The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.
