drift in order to achieve a more stable clock as the tick intervals may
vary in the first place. In fact I haven't seen this code kick in when
in oneshot-mode so just skip it in that case.
- There's no need to explicitly stop the (S)TICK counter in oneshot-mode
with every tick as it just won't trigger again with the (S)TICK compare
register set to a value in the past (with a wrap-around once every ~195
years of uptime at 1.5 GHz this isn't something we have to worry about
in practice).
- Given that we'll disable interrupts completely anyway there's no
need to enter critical sections.
- In thr_exit() and kthread_exit(), only remove thread from
hash if it can directly exit, otherwise let exit1() do it.
- In thread_suspend_check(), fix cleanup code when thread needs
to exit.
This change seems fixed the "Bad link elm " panic found by
Peter Holm.

This should make vnode_pager_getpages path a bit shorter and clearer.
Also this should eliminate problems with partially valid pages.
Having this method opens room for future optimizations.
To do: try to satisfy other pages besides the required one taking into
account tradeofs between number of page faults, read throughput and read
latency. Also, eventually vop_putpages should be added too.

On my tests this change allows to read up to 220MB/s from USB-attached SSD

Old scrolls tell that once upon a time IBM AT BIOS was known to put some
useful system diagnostic information into RTC NVRAM. It is not really
known if and for how long PC BIOSes followed that convention, but I
believe that many, if not all, modern BIOSes do not do that any more
(not mentioning other types of x86 firmware).
Some diagnostic bits don't even make any sense any longer.
The check results in confusing messages upon boot on some systems.
So I am removing it.

too coarse grained to be useful and the default value significantly degrades TCP
performance on moderate to high bandwidth-delay product paths with non-zero loss
(e.g. 5+Mbps connections across the public Internet often suffer).
Replace the outgoing mechanism with an individual per-queue limit based on the
number of MSS segments that fit into the socket's receive buffer. This should
strike a good balance between performance and the potential for resource
exhaustion when FreeBSD is acting as a TCP receiver. With socket buffer
autotuning (which is enabled by default), the reassembly queue tracks the
socket buffer and benefits too.
As the XXX comment suggests, my testing uncovered some unexpected behaviour
which requires further investigation. By using so->so_rcv.sb_hiwat
instead of sbspace(&so->so_rcv), we allow more segments to be held across both
the socket receive buffer and reassembly queue than we probably should. The
tradeoff is better performance in at least one common scenario, versus a devious
sender's ability to consume more resources on a FreeBSD receiver.

"net.inet.tcp.reass.maxsegments" sysctl variables to be based on UMA zone
stats. The value returned by the cursegments sysctl is approximate owing to
the way in which uma_zone_get_cur is implemented.
- Discontinue use of V_tcp_reass_qsize as a global reassembly segment count
variable in the reassembly implementation. The variable was used without
proper synchronisation and was duplicating accounting done by UMA already. The
lack of synchronisation was particularly problematic on SMP systems
terminating many TCP sessions, resulting in poor TCP performance for
connections with non-zero packet loss.

replace mii_phy_probe() altogether. Compared to the latter the advantages
of mii_attach() are:
- intended to be called multiple times in order to attach PHYs in multiple
passes (f.e. in order to only use sub-ranges of the 0 to MII_NPHY - 1
range)
- being able to pass along the capability mask from the NIC to the PHY
drivers
- being able to specify at which address (phyloc) to probe for a PHY
(instead of always probing at all addresses from 0 to MII_NPHY - 1)
- being able to specify which PHY instance (offloc) to attach
- being able to pass along MIIF_* flags from the NIC to the PHY drivers
(f.e. as required to indicated to the PHY drivers that flow control is
supported by the NIC driver, which actually is the motivation for this
change).
While at it, I used the opportunity to get rid of some hacks in mii(4)
like miibus_probe() generally doing work besides sheer probing and the
"EVIL HACK" (which will vanish entirely along with mii_phy_probe()) by
passing the struct ifnet pointer via an argument of mii_attach() as well
as to fix some resource leaks in mii(4) in case something fails.
Commits which will update the PHY drivers to honor the MII flags passed
down from the NIC drivers and take advantage of mii_attach() to get rid
of certain types of hacks in NIC and PHY drivers as well as a conversion
of the remaining uses of mii_phy_probe() will follow shortly.
