like memory mapped register access. Typical problem from the issue
was MII access returned unreliable values. I'm not sure this comes
from lack of register flushing in MII access after accessing
STE_PHYCTL register though.
To address the issue, read hints data that controls which type of
memory mapping should be used in driver. ste(4) still prefers
memory mapping to io mapping but honor hints entered by user except
for controllers that have problems with memory mapping.
The hint to use iomapping could be given by adding the following
line to /boot/device.hints file.

However, that was not mention at all, the problem was not reported, the
patch has not been MFCed and the fix is mostly improper.
Fix the original overflow (caused when 32 CPUs must be detected) by
just using a different mathematical computation (it also makes more
explicit the size of operands involved, which is good in the moment
waiting for a more complete support for a large number of CPUs).

td_critnest > 1 when not already running on the desired CPU read the
TICK counter of the BSP via a direct cross trap request in that case
instead.
- Treat the STICK based timecounter the same way as the TICK based one
regarding its quality and obtaining the counter value from the BSP.
Like the TICK timers the STICK ones also are only synchronized during
their startup (which might not result in good synchronicity in the
first place) but not afterwards and might drift over time, causing
problems when the time is read from different CPUs (see r135972).
interface goes to issue LINK_UP, then LINK_DOWN, then LINK_UP at
cold boot. This behavior is not observed when carp(4) interface
is created slightly later, when the underlying interface is fully
up.
Before this change what happen at boot is roughly:
- ifconfig creates em0 interface;
- ifconfig clones a carp device using em0;
(em0's link state is DOWN at this point)
- carp state: INIT -> BACKUP [*]
- carp state: BACKUP -> MASTER
- [Some negotiate between em0 and switch]
- em0 kicks up link state change event
(em0's link state is now up DOWN at this point)
- do_link_state_change() -> carp_carpdev_state()
- carp state: MASTER -> INIT (via carp_set_state(sc, INIT)) [+]
- carp state: INIT -> BACKUP
- carp state: BACKUP -> MASTER
At the [*] stage, em0 did not received any broadcast message from other
node, and assume our node is the master, thus carp(4) sets the link
state to "UP" after becoming a master. At [+], the master status
is forcely set to "INIT", then an election is casted, after which our
node would actually become a master.
We believe that at the [*] stage, the master status should remain as
"INIT" since the underlying parent interface's link state is not up.

the vfs.read_max default. For most systems this means going from 128 KiB
to 256 KiB, which is still very conservative and lower than what most
other operating systems use, but as a sane default should not
interfere much with existing systems.
For systems with RAID volumes and/or virtualization envirnments, where
read performance is very important, increasing this sysctl tunable to 32
or even more will demonstratively yield additional performance benefits.
If MAXPHYS ever gets bumped up, it will probably be a good idea to slave
read_max to it.

Without (1) and (3), it may be possible for unprivileged user processes to
read sensitive portions of kernel memory. This issue is only present if
the Coda kernel module is loaded and venus (the userspace Coda daemon) is
running and has /coda mounted.
As Coda is considered experimental and production use is warned against in
the coda(4) man page, and because Coda must be explicitly configured for a
configuration to be vulnerable, we won't be issuing a security advisory.
However, if you are using Coda, then you are advised to apply these fixes.
