applications to insert a "tee" in the live audit event stream. Records
are inserted into a per-clone queue so that user processes can pull
discreet records out of the queue. Unlike delivery to disk, audit pipes
are "lossy", dropping records in low memory conditions or when the
process falls behind real-time events. This mechanism is appropriate
for use by live monitoring systems, host-based intrusion detection, etc,
and avoids applications having to dig through active on-disk trails that
are owned by the audit daemon.

The resulting IPSEC hooks in ip_input() and ip_output() may be

work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing. There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.
A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op. It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.
We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.

It should play nicely with the existing BSD ptys.
By default, the system will use the BSD ptys, one can set the sysctl
kern.pts.enable to 1 to make it use the new pts system.
The max number of pty that can be allocated on a system can be changed with the
sysctl kern.pts.max. It defaults to 1000, and can be increased, but it is not
recommanded, as any pty with a number > 999 won't be handled by whatever uses

lock_obj objects:
- Add new lock_init() and lock_destroy() functions to setup and teardown
lock_object objects including KTR logging and registering with WITNESS.
- Move all the handling of LO_INITIALIZED out of witness and the various
lock init functions into lock_init() and lock_destroy().
- Remove the constants for static indices into the lock_classes[] array
and change the code outside of subr_lock.c to use LOCK_CLASS to compare
against a known lock class.
- Move the 'show lock' ddb function and lock_classes[] array out of
kern_mutex.c over to subr_lock.c.

this allows to try different coloring algorithms without the need to

- make the page queue tuning values readable: sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue
- autotuning of the page coloring values based upon the cache size instead
of options in the kernel config (disabling of the page coloring as a
kernel option is still possible)
MD changes:
- detection of the cache size: only IA32 and AMD64 (untested) contains
cache size detection code, every other arch just comes with a dummy
function (this results in the use of default values like it was the
case without the autotuning of the page coloring)
- print some more info on Intel CPU's (like we do on AMD and Transmeta
CPU's)
Note to AMD owners (IA32 and AMD64): please run "sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue"
and report if the cache* values are zero (= bug in the cache detection code)
