defined and will allow consumers, willing to provide options, file and
line to locking requests, to not worry about options redefining the
interfaces.
This is typically useful when there is the need to build another
locking interface on top of the mutex one.
The introduced functions that consumers can use are:
- mtx_lock_flags_
- mtx_unlock_flags_
- mtx_lock_spin_flags_
- mtx_unlock_spin_flags_
- mtx_assert_
- thread_lock_flags_
Spare notes:
- Likely we can get rid of all the 'INVARIANTS' specification in the
ppbus code by using the same macro as done in this patch (but this is
left to the ppbus maintainer)
- all the other locking interfaces may require a similar cleanup, where
the most notable case is sx which will allow a further cleanup of
vm_map locking facilities
- The patch should be fully compatible with older branches, thus a MFC
is previewed (infact it uses all the underlying mechanisms already
present).

Implement ffcounter, a monotonically increasing cumulative counter on top of the
active timecounter. Provide low-level functions to read the ffcounter and
convert it to absolute time or a time interval in seconds using the current
ffclock estimates, which track the drift of the oscillator. Add a ring of
fftimehands to track passing of time on each kernel tick and pick up updates of
ffclock estimates.

nullfs. The problem is that resulting vnode is only required to be
held on return from the successfull call to vop, instead of being
referenced.
Nullfs VOP_INACTIVE() method reclaims the vnode, which in combination
with the VOP_VPTOCNP() interface means that the directory vnode
returned from VOP_VPTOCNP() is reclaimed in advance, causing
vn_fullpath() to error with EBADF or like.
Change the interface for VOP_VPTOCNP(), now the dvp must be
referenced. Convert all in-tree implementations of VOP_VPTOCNP(),
which is trivial, because vhold(9) and vref(9) are similar in the
locking prerequisites. Out-of-tree fs implementation of VOP_VPTOCNP(),
if any, should have no trouble with the fix.

curthread-accessing part of mtx_{,un}lock(9) when using a r210623-style
curthread implementation on sparc64, crashing the kernel in its early
cycles as PCPU isn't set up, yet (and can't be set up as OFW is one of the
things we need for that, which leads to a chicken-and-egg problem). What
happens is that due to the fact that the idea of r210623 actually is to
allow the compiler to cache invocations of curthread, it factors out
obtaining curthread needed for both mtx_lock(9) and mtx_unlock(9) to
before the branch based on kobj_mutex_inited when compiling the kernel
without the debugging options. So change kobj_class_compile_static(9)
to just never acquire kobj_mtx, effectively restricting it to its
documented use, and add a kobj_init_static(9) for initializing objects
using a class compiled with the former and that also avoids using mutex(9)
(and malloc(9)). Also assert in both of these functions that they are
used in their intended way only.
While at it, inline kobj_register_method() and kobj_unregister_method()
as there wasn't much point for factoring them out in the first place
and so that a reader of the code has to figure out the locking for
fewer functions missing a KOBJ_ASSERT.

iteration over the fdsets, kern_select() limits the length of the
fdsets copied in by the last valid file descriptor index. If any bit
is set in a mask above the limit, current implementation ignores the
filedescriptor, instead of returning EBADF.
Fix the issue by scanning the tails of fdset before entering the
select loop and returning EBADF if any bit above last valid
filedescriptor index is set. The performance impact of the additional
check is only imposed on the (somewhat) buggy applications that pass
bad file descriptors to select(2) or pselect(2).

Just place the default kobj_method inside the kobjop_desc structure.
There's no need to give these kobj_methods their own symbol. This shaves
off 10 KB of a GENERIC kernel binary.
These structures hold no information that is modified during runtime. By
marking this constant, we see approximately 600 symbols become
read-only (amd64 GENERIC). While there, also mark the kobj_method
structures generated by makeobjops.awk static. They are only referenced
by the kobjop_desc structures within the same file.

madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a
memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be
divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access
patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the
I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are
thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and
since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal
range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or
will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE().
A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED
request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for
the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes.
First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests
vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer
cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is
used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before
attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds
a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to
vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the
specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if
possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused
in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is
present for regular files.
