Use PCID to avoid complete TLB shootdown when switching between user
and kernel mode with PTI enabled.
I use the model close to what I read about KAISER, user-mode PCID has
1:1 correspondence to the kernel-mode PCID, by setting bit 11 in PCID.
Full kernel-mode TLB shootdown is performed on context switches, since
KVA TLB invalidation only works in the current pmap. User-mode part of
TLB is flushed on the pmap activations as well.
Similarly, IPI TLB shootdowns must handle both kernel and user address
spaces for each address. Note that machines which implement PCID but
do not have INVPCID instructions, cause the usual complications in the
IPI handlers, due to the need to switch to the target PCID temporary.
This is racy, but because for PCID/no-INVPCID we disable the
interrupts in pmap_activate_sw(), IPI handler cannot see inconsistent
state of CPU PCID vs PCPU pmap/kcr3/ucr3 pointers.
On the other hand, on kernel/user switches, CR3_PCID_SAVE bit is set
and we do not clear TLB.
I can imagine alternative use of PCID, where there is only one PCID
allocated for the kernel pmap. Then, there is no need to shootdown
kernel TLB entries on context switch. But copyout(3) would need to
either use method similar to proc_rwmem() to access the userspace
data, or (in reverse) provide a temporal mapping for the kernel buffer
into user mode PCID and use trampoline for copy.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

The implementation of the Kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI) for
amd64, first version. It provides a workaround for the 'meltdown'
vulnerability. PTI is turned off by default for now, enable with the
loader tunable vm.pmap.pti=1.
The pmap page table is split into kernel-mode table and user-mode
table. Kernel-mode table is identical to the non-PTI table, while
usermode table is obtained from kernel table by leaving userspace
mappings intact, but only leaving the following parts of the kernel
mapped:
kernel text (but not modules text)
PCPU
GDT/IDT/user LDT/task structures
IST stacks for NMI and doublefault handlers.
Kernel switches to user page table before returning to usermode, and
restores full kernel page table on the entry. Initial kernel-mode
stack for PTI trampoline is allocated in PCPU, it is only 16
qwords. Kernel entry trampoline switches page tables. then the
hardware trap frame is copied to the normal kstack, and execution
continues.
IST stacks are kept mapped and no trampoline is needed for
NMI/doublefault, but of course page table switch is performed.
On return to usermode, the trampoline is used again, iret frame is
copied to the trampoline stack, page tables are switched and iretq is
executed. The case of iretq faulting due to the invalid usermode
context is tricky, since the frame for fault is appended to the
trampoline frame. Besides copying the fault frame and original
(corrupted) frame to kstack, the fault frame must be patched to make
it look as if the fault occured on the kstack, see the comment in
doret_iret detection code in trap().
Currently kernel pages which are mapped during trampoline operation
are identical for all pmaps. They are registered using
pmap_pti_add_kva(). Besides initial registrations done during boot,
LDT and non-common TSS segments are registered if user requested their
use. In principle, they can be installed into kernel page table per
pmap with some work. Similarly, PCPU can be hidden from userspace
mapping using trampoline PCPU page, but again I do not see much
benefits besides complexity.
PDPE pages for the kernel half of the user page tables are
pre-allocated during boot because we need to know pml4 entries which
are copied to the top-level paging structure page, in advance on a new
pmap creation. I enforce this to avoid iterating over the all
existing pmaps if a new PDPE page is needed for PTI kernel mappings.
The iteration is a known problematic operation on i386.
The need to flush hidden kernel translations on the switch to user
mode make global tables (PG_G) meaningless and even harming, so PG_G
use is disabled for PTI case. Our existing use of PCID is
incompatible with PTI and is automatically disabled if PTI is
enabled. PCID can be forced on only for developer's benefit.
MCE is known to be broken, it requires IST stack to operate completely
correctly even for non-PTI case, and absolutely needs dedicated IST
stack because MCE delivery while trampoline did not switched from PTI
stack is fatal. The fix is pending.

They provide relaxed-ordered atomic access semantic. Due to the
FreeBSD memory model, the operations are syntaxical wrappers around
the volatile accesses. The volatile qualifier is used to ensure that
the access not optimized out and in turn depends on the volatile

The motivation for adding the operation is to help people coming from

it by a transient double mapping for the one instruction in ACPI wakeup
where it is needed (and for many surrounding instructions in ACPI resume).
Invalidate the TLB as soon as convenient after undoing the transient
mapping. ACPI resume already has the strict ordering needed for this.
This fixes the non-trapping of null pointers and other garbage pointers
below NBPDR (except transiently). NBPDR is quite large (4MB, or 2MB for
PAE).
This fixes spurious traps at the first instruction in VM86 bioscalls.
The traps are for transiently missing read permission in the first
VM86 page (physical page 0) which was just written to at KERNBASE in
the kernel. The mechanism is unknown (it is not simply PG_G).
locore uses a similar but larger transient double mapping and needs
it for 2 instructions instead of 1. Unmap the first PDE in it after
the 2 instructions to detect most garbage pointers while bootstrapping.
pmap_bootstrap() finishes the unmapping.
Remove the avoidance of the double mapping for a recently fixed special
case. ACPI resume could use this avoidance (made non-special) to avoid
any problems with the transient double mapping, but no such problems
are known.
Update comments in locore. Many were for old versions of FreeBSD which
tried to map low memory r/o except for special cases, or might have
allowed access to low memory via physical offsets. Now all kernel
maps are r/w, and removal of of the double map disallows use of physical
offsets again.
when KERNLOAD is smaller than NBPDR (not the default) and PG_G is
enabled (the default if the CPU supports it). This case has relatively
minor problems with coherency of the permanent double mapping, but the
fix in r167869 to improve coherency creates page tables with 3 different
errors so never worked.
The permanent double mapping is fundamentally broken and will be removed
soon. It fundamentally breaks trapping for null pointers and requires
complications to avoid cache coherency bugs. It is currently used for
only a single instruction in ACPI resume,
Many fixes VM86 and/or ACPI and/or the double map were attempted near
r1200000. r167869 attempted to fix cache coherency bugs in an unusual
case, but the bugs were unreachable because older errors in page tables
caused a crash first.
This commit just makes r167869 work as intended. Part 1 of these fixes
fixed the other errors, but also stopped mapping the PDE for KERNBASE
as a large page, so double mapping of this PDE only causes the same
problems as when KERNLOAD is the default. Except for the problem of
trapping null pointers, r167869 could be used to fix these problems,
but it is inactive in usual cases. The only known other problem is
that incoherent permissions for page 0 cause spurious traps in VM86
BIOS calls.

when KERNLOAD is not a multiple of NBPDR (not the default) and PSE is
enabled (the default if the CPU supports it). Addresses in PDEs must
be a multiple of NBPDR in the PSE case, but were not so in the crashing
case.
KERNLOAD defaults to NBPDR. NBPDR is 4 MB for !PAE and 2 MB for PAE.
The default can be changed by editing i386/include/vmparam.h or using
makeoptions. It can be changed to less than NBPDR to save real and
virtual memory at a small cost in time, or to more than NBPDR to waste
real and virtual memory. It must be larger than 1 MB and a multiple of
PAGE_SIZE. When it is less than NBPDR, it is necessarily not a multiple
of NBPDR. This case has much larger bugs which will be fixed in part 2.
The fix is to only use PSE for physical addresses above <KERNLOAD
rounded _up_ to an NBPDR boundary>. When the rounding is non-null,
this leaves part of the kernel not using large pages. Rounding down
would avoid this pessimization, but would break setting of PAT bits
on i/o pages if it goes below 1MB. Since rounding down always goes
below 1MB when KERNLOAD < NBPDR and the KERNLOAD > NBPDR case is not
useful, never round down.
Fix related style bugs (e.g., wrong literal values for NBPDR in comments).

amd64 had its KSTACK_PAGES bumped to 4 back in Peter's initial AMD64 commit,
