In r353734 the use of the page caches was limited to systems with a
relatively large amount of RAM per CPU. This was to mitigate some
issues reported with the system not able to keep up with memory pressure
in cases where it had been able to do so prior to the addition of the
direct free pool cache. This change re-enables those caches.
The change modifies uma_zone_set_maxcache(), which was introduced
specifically for the page cache zones. Rather than using it to limit
only the full bucket cache, have it also set uz_count_max to provide an
upper bound on the per-CPU cache size that is consistent with the number
of items requested. Remove its return value since it has no use.
Enable the page cache zones unconditionally, and limit them to 0.1% of
the domain's pages. The limit can be overridden by the
vm.pgcache_zone_max tunable as before.
Change the item size parameter passed to uma_zcache_create() to the
correct size, and stop setting UMA_ZONE_MAXBUCKET. This allows the page
cache buckets to be adaptively sized, like the rest of UMA's caches.
This also causes the initial bucket size to be small, so only systems
which benefit from large caches will get them.

Add bit_ffs_area_at and bit_ffc_area_at functions for searching a bit
string for a sequence of contiguous set or unset bits of at least the
specified size.
The bit_ffc_area function will be used by the Intel ice driver for
implementing resource assignment logic using a bitstring to represent
whether or not a given index has been assigned or is currently free.
The bit_ffs_area, bit_ffc_area_at and bit_ffs_area_at functions are
implemented for completeness.
I'd like to add further test cases for the new functions, but I'm not
really sure how to add them easily. The new functions depend on specific
sequences of bits being set, while the bitstring tests appear to run for
varying bit sizes.

Each boot, regenerate /var/run/os-release based on the currently running
system. Create a /etc/os-release symlink pointing to this file (so that this
doesn't create a new reason /etc can not be mounted read-only).
This is compatible with what other systems do and is what the sysutil/os-release
port attempted to do, but in an incomplete way. Linux, Solaris and DragonFly all
implement this natively as well. The complete standard can be found at
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
Moving this to the base solves both the non-standard location problem with the
port, as well as the lack of update of this file on system update.

Disable the use of executable 2M page mappings in EPT-format page
tables on affected CPUs. For bhyve virtual machines, this effectively
disables all use of superpage mappings on affected CPUs. The
vm.pmap.allow_2m_x_ept sysctl can be set to override the default and
enable mappings on affected CPUs.
Alternate approaches have been suggested, but at present we do not
believe the complexity is warranted for typical bhyve's use cases.

Previously ntb_transport(4) required at least 6 scratchpad registers,
plus 2 more for each additional memory window. That is too much for some
configurations, where several drivers have to share resources of the same
NTB hardware. This patch introduces new compact version of the protocol,
requiring only 3 scratchpad registers, plus one more for each additional
memory window. The optimization is based on fact that neither of version,
number of windows or number of queue pairs really need more then one byte
each, and window sizes of 4GB are not very useful now. The new protocol
is activated automatically when the configuration is low on scratchpad
registers, or it can be activated explicitly with loader tunable.

Address Lookup Table (A-LUT) being enabled allows to specify separate
translation for each 1/128th or 1/256th of the BAR2. Previously it was
used only to limit effective window size by blocking access through some
of A-LUT elements. This change allows A-LUT elements to also point
different memory locations, providing to upper layers several (up to 128)
independent memory windows. A-LUT hardware allows even more flexible
configurations than this, but NTB KPI have no way to manage that now.

Summary:
Historically, we have built toolchain components such as cc, ld, etc as
statically linked executables. One of the reasons being that you could
sometimes save yourself from botched upgrades, by e.g. recompiling a
"known good" libc and reinstalling it.
In this day and age, we have boot environments, virtual machine
snapshots, cloud backups, and other much more reliable methods to
restore systems to working order. So I think the time is ripe to flip
this default, and link the toolchain components dynamically, just like
almost all other executables on FreeBSD.
Maybe at some point they can even become PIE executables by default! :)

The change is for the example in textdump.4 and the default ddb.conf.
First of all, doadump now requires an argument and it won't do a
textdump if the argument is not 'true'.
And 'textdump dump' is more idiomatic anyway.
For what it's worth, ddb 'dump' command seems to always request a vmcore
dump even if a textdump was requested earlier, e.g., by 'textdump set'.
Finally, ddb 'call' command is not documented.

NetGDB(4) is a component of a system using a panic-time network stack to
remotely debug crashed FreeBSD kernels over the network, instead of
traditional serial interfaces.
There are three pieces in the complete NetGDB system.
First, a dedicated proxy server must be running to accept connections from
both NetGDB and gdb(1), and pass bidirectional traffic between the two
protocols.
Second, the NetGDB client is activated much like ordinary 'gdb' and
similarly to 'netdump' in ddb(4) after a panic. Like other debugnet(4)
clients (netdump(4)), the network interface on the route to the proxy server
must be online and support debugnet(4).
Finally, the remote (k)gdb(1) uses 'target remote <proxy>:<port>' (like any
other TCP remote) to connect to the proxy server.
The NetGDB v1 protocol speaks the literal GDB remote serial protocol, and
uses a 1:1 relationship between GDB packets and sequences of debugnet
packets (fragmented by MTU). There is no encryption utilized to keep
debugging sessions private, so this is only appropriate for local
segments or trusted networks.
