the maintenance of vm_pageout_deficit can be localized to just two places:

This change also corrects an off-by-one error in the maintenance of

writing event timer drivers, for choosing best possible drivers by machine
independent code and for operating them to supply kernel with hardclock(),
statclock() and profclock() events in unified fashion on various hardware.
Infrastructure provides support for both per-CPU (independent for every CPU
core) and global timers in periodic and one-shot modes. MI management code
at this moment uses only periodic mode, but one-shot mode use planned for
later, as part of tickless kernel project.
For this moment infrastructure used on i386 and amd64 architectures. Other
archs are welcome to follow, while their current operation should not be
affected.
This patch updates existing drivers (i8254, RTC and LAPIC) for the new
order, and adds event timers support into the HPET driver. These drivers
have different capabilities:
LAPIC - per-CPU timer, supports periodic and one-shot operation, may
freeze in C3 state, calibrated on first use, so may be not exactly precise.
HPET - depending on hardware can work as per-CPU or global, supports
periodic and one-shot operation, usually provides several event timers.
i8254 - global, limited to periodic mode, because same hardware used also
as time counter.
RTC - global, supports only periodic mode, set of frequencies in Hz
limited by powers of 2.
Depending on hardware capabilities, drivers preferred in following orders,
either LAPIC, HPETs, i8254, RTC or HPETs, LAPIC, i8254, RTC.
User may explicitly specify wanted timers via loader tunables or sysctls:
kern.eventtimer.timer1 and kern.eventtimer.timer2.
If requested driver is unavailable or unoperational, system will try to
replace it. If no more timers available or "NONE" specified for second,
system will operate using only one timer, multiplying it's frequency by few
times and uing respective dividers to honor hz, stathz and profhz values,
set during initial setup.
New code that creates character devices shouldn't use device unit

- Allow setting format, resolution and accuracy of BPF time stamps per
listener. Previously, we were only able to use microtime(9). Now we can
set various resolutions and accuracies with ioctl(2) BIOCSTSTAMP command.
Similarly, we can get the current resolution and accuracy with BIOCGTSTAMP
command. Document all supported options in bpf(4) and their uses.
- Introduce new time stamp 'struct bpf_ts' and header 'struct bpf_xhdr'.
The new time stamp has both 64-bit second and fractional parts. bpf_xhdr
has this time stamp instead of 'struct timeval' for bh_tstamp. The new
structures let us use bh_tstamp of same size on both 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms without adding additional shims for 32-bit binaries. On 64-bit
platforms, size of BPF header does not change compared to bpf_hdr as its
members are already all 64-bit long. On 32-bit platforms, the size may
increase by 8 bytes. For backward compatibility, struct bpf_hdr with
struct timeval is still the default header unless new time stamp format is
explicitly requested. However, the behaviour may change in the future and
all relevant code is wrapped around "#ifdef BURN_BRIDGES" for now.
- Add experimental support for tagging mbufs with time stamps from a lower
layer, e.g., device driver. Currently, mbuf_tags(9) is used to tag mbufs.
The time stamps must be uptime in 'struct bintime' format as binuptime(9)

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

about rejecting the posix high numbers is greater
priority and use nice instead. This fix also
adjusts that to work, with the cavet that a t-s
process may well get bumped up or down i.e. the
setscheduler() will NOT change the nice value only
the current priority. I think this is reasonable
considering if the user wants to play with nice then
he can. At least all the posix'ish interfaces now
respond sanely.

Enhanced process coredump routines.
This brings in the following features:
1) Limit number of cores per process via the %I coredump formatter.
Example:
if corefilename is set to %N.%I.core AND num_cores = 3, then
if a process "rpd" cores, then the corefile will be named
"rpd.0.core", however if it cores again, then the kernel will
generate "rpd.1.core" until we hit the limit of "num_cores".
this is useful to get several corefiles, but also prevent filling
the machine with corefiles.
2) Encode machine hostname in core dump name via %H.
3) Compress coredumps, useful for embedded platforms with limited space.
A sysctl kern.compress_user_cores is made available if turned on.
To enable compressed coredumps, the following config options need to be set:
options COMPRESS_USER_CORES
device zlib # brings in the zlib requirements.
device gzio # brings in the kernel vnode gzip output module.
4) Eventhandlers are fired to indicate coredumps in progress.
5) The imgact sv_coredump routine has grown a flag to pass in more
state, currently this is used only for passing a flag down to compress
the coredump or not.
Note that the gzio facility can be used for generic output of gzip'd
streams via vnodes.

that the virtual machine monitor has enabled machine check exceptions.
Unfortunately, on AMD Family 10h processors the machine check hardware
has a bug (Erratum 383) that can result in a false machine check exception
when a superpage promotion occurs. Thus, I am disabling superpage
promotion when the FreeBSD kernel is running as a guest operating system
on an AMD Family 10h processor.
