Effectively all i386 kernels now have two pmaps compiled in: one
managing PAE pagetables, and another non-PAE. The implementation is
selected at cold time depending on the CPU features. The vm_paddr_t is
always 64bit now. As result, nx bit can be used on all capable CPUs.
Option PAE only affects the bus_addr_t: it is still 32bit for non-PAE
configs, for drivers compatibility. Kernel layout, esp. max kernel
address, low memory PDEs and max user address (same as trampoline
start) are now same for PAE and for non-PAE regardless of the type of
page tables used.
Non-PAE kernel (when using PAE pagetables) can handle physical memory
up to 24G now, larger memory requires re-tuning the KVA consumers and
instead the code caps the maximum at 24G. Unfortunately, a lot of
drivers do not use busdma(9) properly so by default even 4G barrier is
not easy. There are two tunables added: hw.above4g_allow and
hw.above24g_allow, the first one is kept enabled for now to evaluate
the status on HEAD, second is only for dev use.
i386 now creates three freelists if there is any memory above 4G, to
allow proper bounce pages allocation. Also, VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE changed
from 3 to 1.
The PAE_TABLES kernel config option is retired.

Replace size_t members with ksize_t (uint64_t) and pointer members
(never used as pointers in userspace, but instead as unique
idenitifiers) with kvaddr_t (uint64_t). This makes the structs
identical between 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs.
On 64-bit bit systems, the ABI is maintained. On 32-bit systems,
this is an ABI breaking change. The ABI of most of these structs
was previously broken in r315662. This also imposes a small API
change on userspace consumers who must handle kernel pointers
becoming virtual addresses.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

--- test the "no error" case using kvm_read(3) and kvm_nlist(3) as

_kvm_err (an internal API) _kvm_err was used as there isn't a

This change consists of two parts:
- allow libkvm to recognize /dev/vmm/* character devices as devices that
provide access to the physical memory of a system (similarly to /dev/fwmem*)
- allow libkvm to recognize that /dev/vmm/* and /dev/fwmem* devices provide
access to the physical memory of live remote systems and, thus, the memory
is writable
As a result, it should be possible to run commands like
$ kgdb -w /path/to/kernel /dev/fwmem0.0

Instead of using a hash table to convert physical page addresses to offsets
in the sparse page array, cache the number of bits set for each 4MB chunk of
physical pages. Upon lookup, find the nearest cached population count, then
add/subtract the number of bits from that point to the page's PTE bit.
Then multiply by page size and add to the sparse page map's base offset.
This replaces O(n) worst-case lookup with O(1) (plus a small number of bits
to scan in the bitmap). Also, for a 128GB system, a typical kernel core of
about 8GB will now only require ~4.5MB of RAM for this approach instead of
~48MB as with the hash table.
More concretely, /usr/sbin/crashinfo against the same core improves from a
max RSS of 188MB and wall time of 43.72s (33.25 user 2.94 sys) to 135MB and
9.43s (2.58 user 1.47 sys). Running "thread apply all bt" in kgdb has a
similar RSS improvement, and wall time drops from 4.44s to 1.93s.
