in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.
The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.
This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

In xbb_get_resources(), initialize "operation" in the

Rework the timeout code to use actual time rather than a DELAY() loop and
to use both typical and maximum to allow logging of timeout failures.
Also correct the erase timeout, it is specified in milliseconds not
microseconds like the other timeouts. Do not invoke DELAY() between
status queries as this adds significant latency which in turn reduced
write performance substantially.
Sanity check timeout values from the hardware.
Implement support for buffered writes (only enabled on Intel/Sharp parts
for now). This yields an order of magnitude speedup on the 64MB Intel
StrataFlash parts we use.
When making a copy of the block to modify, also keep a clean copy around
until we are ready to commit the block and use it to avoid unnecessary
erases. In the non-buffer write case, also use it to avoid
unnecessary writes when the block has not been erased. This yields a
significant speedup when doing things like zeroing a block.

- Register a PV timer device driver which (currently)
implements device_{identify,probe,attach} and stubs
device_detach. The detach routine requires functionality
not provided by timecounters(4). The suspend and resume
routines need additional work (due to Xen requiring that
the hypercalls be executed on the target VCPU), and aren't
needed for our purposes.
- Make sure there can only be one device instance of this
driver, and that it only registers one eventtimers(4) and
one timecounters(4) device interface. Make both interfaces
use PCPU data as needed.
- Match, with a few style cleanups & API differences, the
Xen versions of the "fetch time" functions.
- Document the magic scale_delta() better for the i386 version.
- When registering the event timer, bind a separate event
channel for the timer VIRQ to the device's event timer
interrupt handler for each active VCPU. Describe each
interrupt as "xen_et:c%d", so they can be identified per
CPU in "vmstat -i" or "show intrcnt" in KDB.
- When scheduling a timer into the hypervisor, try up to
60 times if the hypervisor rejects the time as being in
the past. In the common case, this retry shouldn't happen,
and if it does, it should only happen once. This is
because the event timer advertises a minimum period of
100usec, which is only less than the usual hypercall round
trip time about 1 out of every 100 tries. (Unlike other
similar drivers, this one actually checks whether the
hypervisor accepted the singleshot timer set hypercall.)

calls ns8250_bus_ipend() almost immediately after ns8250_bus_attach().
As it appears, a line break condition is being signalled for almost
all received characters due to this. A delay of 150ms seems enough
to allow the H/W to settle and to avoid the problem.
More analysis is needed, but for now a regression has been addressed.

MADV_DONTNEED) and madvise(..., MADV_FREE). Specifically, introduce a new
pmap function, pmap_advise(), that operates on a range of virtual addresses
within the specified pmap, allowing for a more efficient implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE. Previously, the implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE relied on per-page pmap operations, such as
pmap_clear_reference(). Intuitively, the problem with this implementation
is that the pmap-level locks are acquired and released and the page table
traversed repeatedly, once for each resident page in the range
that was specified to madvise(2). A more subtle flaw with the previous
implementation is that pmap_clear_reference() would clear the reference bit
on all mappings to the specified page, not just the mapping in the range
specified to madvise(2).
Since our malloc(3) makes heavy use of madvise(2), this change can have a
measureable impact. For example, the system time for completing a parallel
"buildworld" on a 6-core amd64 machine was reduced by about 1.5% to 2.0%.
Note: This change only contains pmap_advise() implementations for a subset
of our supported architectures. I will commit implementations for the
remaining architectures after further testing. For now, a stub function is
sufficient because of the advisory nature of pmap_advise().

(re)start the interface when it is down. This change fix a race with
BOOTP where the response packet is lost because the interface is being
reset by a netmask change right after send the packet.
