The XIVE (External Interrupt Virtualization Engine) is a new interrupt
controller present in IBM's POWER9 processor. It's a very powerful,
very complex device using queues and shared memory to improve interrupt
dispatch performance in a virtualized environment.
This yields a ~10% performance improvment over the XICS emulation mode,
measured in both buildworld, and 'dd' from nvme to /dev/null.
Currently, this only supports native access.

The powerpc_intr structure is not zero-initialized, so on an invariants
build would panic in the xics driver with an invalid pointer. Also fix the
xics driver to share the private data setup code between xics_enable() and
xics_bind().
Reported by: Leonardo Bianconi
The IPI vector is static, and happens to be the most common interrupt by far
on some systems. Rather than searching for the interrupt every time, cache
the index.
This appears to yield a small performance boost, of about 8% reduction in
buildworld times, on my POWER9 system, when paired with r342975.
The XICS and XIVE need extra data beyond irq and vector. Rather than
performing a separate search, it's better for the general interrupt facility
to hold a private pointer, since the search already must be done anyway at
that level.
In r342771, I introduced a regression in Power by abusing the platform
smp_topo() method as a shortcut for providing the MI information needed for
the stated sysctls. The smp_topo() method was already called later by
sched_ule (under the name cpu_topo()), and initializes a static array of
scheduler topology information. I had skimmed the smp_topo_foo() functions
and assumed they were idempotent; empirically, they are not (or at least,
detect re-initialization and panic).
Do the cleaner thing I should have done in the first place and add a
platform method specifically for core- and thread-count probing.

Discussing with Benjamin Herrenschmidt, OPAL_INT_GET_XIRR masks the
returned priority, so must be resumed before more interrupts can be
handled at this priority. Since there are only two priorities used in
FreeBSD, we know that the previous priority in an EOI will always be
0xff (lowest priority).

Summary:
POWER9 systems use a new interrupt controller, XIVE, managed through OPAL
firmware calls. The OPAL firmware includes support for emulating the previous
generation XICS presentation layer in addition to a new "XIVE Exploitation"
mode. As a stopgap until we have XIVE exploitation mode, enable XICS emulation
mode so that we at least have an interrupt controller.
Since the CPPR is local to the current CPU, it cannot be updated for APs when
initializing on the BSP. This adds a new function, directly called by the
powernv platform code, to initialize the CPPR on AP bringup.

Summary:
There were 2 issues that were preventing correct symbol resolution
on PowerPC/pseries:
1- memory corruption at chrp_attach() - this caused the inital
part of the symbol table to become zeroed, which would cause
the kernel linker to fail to parse it.
(this was probably zeroing out other memory parts as well)
2- DDB symbol resolution wasn't working because symtab contained
not relocated addresses but it was given relocated offsets.
Although relocating the symbol table fixed this, it broke the
linker, that already handled this case.
Thus, the fix for this consists in adding a new DDB macro:
DB_STOFFS(offs) that converts a (potentially) relocated offset
into one that can be compared with symbol table values.

Summary:
chrp_cpuref_init() was relying on the boot strap processor to be
the first child of /cpus. That was not always the case, specially
on pseries with FDT.
This change uses the "reg" property of each CPU instead and also
adds several sanity checks to avoid unexpected behavior (maybe
too many panics?).
The main observed symptom was interrupts being missed by the main
processor, leading to timeouts and the kernel aborting the boot.

The POWER9 MMU (PowerISA 3.0) is slightly different from current
configurations, using a partition table even for hypervisor mode, and
dropping the SDR1 register. Key off the newly early-enabled CPU features
flags for the new architecture, and configure the MMU appropriately.
The POWER9 MMU ignores the "PSIZ" field in the PTCR, and expects a 64kB
table. As we are enabled for powernv (hypervisor mode, no VMs), only
initialize partition table entry 0, and zero out the rest. The actual
contents of the register are identical to SDR1 from previous architectures.
Along with this, fix a bug in the page table allocation with very large
memory. The table can be allocated on any 256k boundary. The
bootstrap_alloc alignment argument is an int, and with large amounts of
memory passing the size of the table as the alignment will overflow an
integer. Hard-code the alignment at 256k as wider alignment is not
necessary.

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.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
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.
The sim_vid, hba_vid, and dev_name fields of struct ccb_pathinq are
fixed-length strings. AFAICT the only place they're read is in
sbin/camcontrol/camcontrol.c, which assumes they'll be null-terminated.
However, the kernel doesn't null-terminate them. A bunch of copy-pasted code
uses strncpy to write them, and doesn't guarantee null-termination. For at
least 4 drivers (mpr, mps, ciss, and hyperv), the hba_vid field actually
overflows. You can see the result by doing "camcontrol negotiate da0 -v".
This change null-terminates those fields everywhere they're set in the
kernel. It also shortens a few strings to ensure they'll fit within the
16-character field.
