If package-level control is present, we default to using it. Per-core
software control may be enabled by setting the machdep.hwpstate_pkg_ctrl
tunable to "0" in loader.conf(5).
Add a sysctl knob to allow users to re-enable it, and document the knob and
default in cpufreq.4. (While here, add a few unrelated updates to
cpufreq.4.)
It seems that the register value in some hardware simply reflects the
configured P-state. This results in an inadvertent and unintended outcome
where the P-state can only walk down, and then the driver becomes "stuck" in
the slowest possible P-state.
The Linux driver never consults this register, so that's some evidence that
ignoring the contents are relatively harmless.

After r355784 the td_oncpu field is no longer synchronized by the thread
lock, so the stack capture interrupt cannot be delievered precisely.
Fix this using a loop which drops the thread lock and restarts if the
wrong thread was sampled from the stack capture interrupt handler.
Change the implementation to use a regular interrupt instead of an NMI.
Now that we drop the thread lock, there is no advantage to the latter.
Simplify the KPIs. Remove stack_save_td_running() and add a return
value to stack_save_td(). On platforms that do not support stack
capture of running threads, stack_save_td() returns EOPNOTSUPP. If the
target thread is running in user mode, stack_save_td() returns EBUSY.

Most of the gpio controller cannot configure or get the configuration
of the pin muxing as it's usually handled in the pinctrl driver.
But they can know what is the pinmuxing driver either because they are
child of it or via the gpio-range property.
Add some new methods to fdt_pinctrl that a pin controller can implement.
Some methods are :
fdt_pinctrl_is_gpio: Use to know if the pin in the gpio mode
fdt_pinctrl_set_flags: Set the flags of the pin (pullup/pulldown etc ...)
fdt_pinctrl_get_flags: Get the flags of the pin (pullup/pulldown etc ...)
The defaults method returns EOPNOTSUPP.

The default loader.conf already has a pointer to md(4) where it appears and
the reference to loader.conf in the new version of this manpage should make

1MB per 1GB on the devices I have) for its metadata cache, significantly
improving random I/O performance. Device reports minimal and preferable
size of the buffer. The code limits it to 1% of physical RAM by default.
If the buffer can not be allocated or below minimal size, the device will
just have to work without it.

An i2c bus can be divided into segments which can be selectively connected
and disconnected from the main bus. This is usually done to enable using
multiple slave devices having the same address, by isolating the devices
onto separate bus segments, only one of which is connected to the main bus
at once.
There are several types of i2c bus muxes, which break down into two general
categories...
- Muxes which are themselves i2c slaves. These devices respond to i2c
commands on their upstream bus, and based on those commands, connect
various downstream buses to the upstream. In newbus terms, they are both
a child of an iicbus and the parent of one or more iicbus instances.
- Muxes which are not i2c devices themselves. Such devices are part of the
i2c bus electrically, but in newbus terms their parent is some other
bus. The association with the upstream bus must be established by
separate metadata (such as FDT data).
In both cases, the mux driver has one or more iicbus child instances
representing the downstream buses. The mux driver implements the iicbus_if
interface, as if it were an iichb host bridge/i2c controller driver. It
services the IO requests sent to it by forwarding them to the iicbus
instance representing the upstream bus, after electrically connecting the
upstream bus to the downstream bus that hosts the i2c slave device which
made the IO request.
The net effect is automatic mux switching which is transparent to slaves on
the downstream buses. They just do i2c IO they way they normally do, and the
bus is electrically connected for the duration of the IO and then idled when
it is complete.
The existing iicbus_if callback() method is enhanced so that the parameter
passed to it can be a struct which contains a device_t for the requesting
bus and slave devices. This change is done by adding a flag that indicates
the extra values are present, and making the flags field the first field of
a new args struct. If the flag is set, the iichb or mux driver can recast
the pointer-to-flags into a pointer-to-struct and access the extra
fields. Thus abi compatibility with older drivers is retained (but a mux
cannot exist on the bus with the older iicbus driver in use.)
A new set of core support routines exists in iicbus.c. This code will help
implement mux drivers for any type of mux hardware by supplying all the
boilerplate code that forwards IO requests upstream. It also has code for
parsing metadata and instantiating the child iicbus instances based on it.
Two new hardware mux drivers are added. The ltc430x driver supports the
LTC4305/4306 mux chips which are controlled via i2c commands. The
iic_gpiomux driver supports any mux hardware which is controlled by
manipulating the state of one or more gpio pins. Test Plan
Tested locally using a variety of mux'd bus configurations involving both
ltc4305 and a homebrew gpio-controlled mux. Tested configurations included
cascaded muxes (unlikely in the real world, but useful to prove that 'it all
just works' in terms of the automatic switching and upstream forwarding of
IO requests).
