has proven to have a good effect when entering KDB by using a NMI,
but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts
disabled while holding a spinlock in other occasions. This can be the
cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases
* Disable interrupts on CPU0 when starting the process of APs suspension.
* Style cleanup and comments adding
This patch should fix the reboot/shutdown deadlocks many users are
constantly reporting on mailing lists.
Please don't forget to update your config file with the STOP_NMI

so that it returns failure instead of crashing when "m->m_len" is
executed and m == NULL. The mbuf ptr can be NULL when a call to
xdrmbuf_getbytes() gets the bytes it needs, but they are at the end
of a short RPC reply. When this happens, xdrmbuf_getbytes() returns
success, but advances the mbuf ptr (xdrs->x_private) to m_next, which
is NULL. If this is followed by a call to xdrmbuf_getlong(), it calls
xdrmbuf_inline(), which would cause a crash by accessing "m->m_len".

all pertinent statatistics for the subsystem. These structures are
sometimes "borrowed" by kernel modules that require a place to store
statistics for similar events.
Add KPI accessor functions for statistics structures referenced by kernel
modules so that they no longer encode certain specifics of how the data
structures are named and stored. This change is intended to make it
easier to move to per-CPU network stats following 8.0-RELEASE.
The following modules are affected by this change:
if_bridge
if_cxgb
if_gif
ip_mroute
ipdivert
pf
In practice, most of these statistics consumers should, in fact, maintain
their own statistics data structures rather than borrowing structures
from the base network stack. However, that change is too agressive for
this point in the release cycle.

The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.

in prison_equal_ip4/6 while an inp mutex was held. Locking allprison_lock
can be avoided by making a restriction on the IP addresses associated with
jails:
Don't allow the "ip4" and "ip6" parameters to be changed after a jail is
created. Setting the "ip4.addr" and "ip6.addr" parameters is allowed,
but only if the jail was already created with either ip4/6=new or
ip4/6=disable. With this restriction, the prison flags in question
(PR_IP4_USER and PR_IP6_USER) become read-only and can be checked
without locking.
This also allows the simplification of a messy code path that was needed
to handle an existing prison gaining an IP address list.
