Make sure all I/O to the dump device is of the native sector size. To
that end, we keep a native sector sized buffer associated with dump
devices (di->blockbuf) and use it to pad smaller objects as needed (e.g.
kerneldumpheader).
Add dump_write_pad() as a convenience API to dump smaller objects with
zero padding. (Rather than pull in NPM leftpad, we wrote our own.)
Savecore(1) has been updated to deal with these dumps. The format for
512-byte sector dumps should remain backwards compatible.
Minidumps for other architectures are left as an exercise for the
reader.

Note that the mountlist manipulations are somewhat fragile, and not very
pretty. The reason for this is to avoid changing vfs_mountroot(), which
is (obviously) rather mission-critical, but not very well documented,
and thus hard to test properly. It might be possible to rework it to use
its own simple root mount mechanism instead of vfs_mountroot().

'buf' is inconvenient and has lead me to some irritating to discover
bugs over the years. It also makes it more challenging to refactor
the buf allocation system.
- Move swbuf and declare it as an extern in vfs_bio.c. This is still
not perfect but better than it was before.
- Eliminate the unused ffs function that relied on knowledge of the buf
array.
- Move the shutdown code that iterates over the buf array into vfs_bio.c.

was possible for a regular user to setup the dump device if he had write access

to kernel's memory after provoking kernel crash, but in practise it is not
recommended to give regular users direct access to storage devices.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Right now, init(8) cannot distinguish between an ACPI power button press
or a Ctrl+Alt+Del sequence on the keyboard. This is because
shutdown_nice() sends SIGINT to init(8) unconditionally, but later
modifies the arguments to reboot(2) to force a certain behaviour.
Instead of doing this, patch up the code to just forward the appropriate
signal to userspace. SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 can already be used to halt the
system.
While there, move waittime to the function where it's used; kern_reboot().

Historical behavior of letting other CPUs merily go on is a default for
time being. The new behavior can be switched on via
kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic tunable and sysctl.
Stopping of the CPUs has (at least) the following benefits:
- more of the system state at panic time is preserved intact
- threads and interrupts do not interfere with dumping of the system
state
Only one thread runs uninterrupted after panic if stop_scheduler_on_panic
is set. That thread might call code that is also used in normal context
and that code might use locks to prevent concurrent execution of certain
parts. Those locks might be held by the stopped threads and would never
be released. To work around this issue, it was decided that instead of
explicit checks for panic context, we would rather put those checks
inside the locking primitives.
This change has substantial portions written and re-written by attilio
and kib at various times. Other changes are heavily based on the ideas
and patches submitted by jhb and mdf. bde has provided many insights
into the details and history of the current code.
The new behavior may cause problems for systems that use a USB keyboard
for interfacing with system console. This is because of some unusual
locking patterns in the ukbd code which have to be used because on one
hand ukbd is below syscons, but on the other hand it has to interface
with other usb code that uses regular mutexes/Giant for its concurrency
protection. Dumping to USB-connected disks may also be affected.

While this is generally ok, the problem is that all the consumers
