Change 221669 by bz@bz_zenith on 2013/02/01 12:26:04

        Run the initialization for polling earlier along with INTRs
        so that we can put network interface into polling mode by default
        if DEVICE_POLLING is compiled in and no interrupts are available.

4219fc0074 Merge GEOM direct dispatch changes from the projects/camlock branch.
When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.

The defined now safety requirements are:
 - caller should not hold any locks and should be reenterable;
 - callee should not depend on GEOM dual-threaded concurency semantics;
 - on the way down, if request is unmapped while callee doesn't support it,
   the context should be sleepable;
 - kernel thread stack usage should be below 50%.

To keep compatibility with GEOM classes not meeting above requirements
new provider and consumer flags added:
 - G_CF_DIRECT_SEND -- consumer code meets caller requirements (request);
 - G_CF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- consumer code meets callee requirements (done);
 - G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- provider code meets caller requirements (done);
 - G_PF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- provider code meets callee requirements (request).
Capable GEOM class can set them, allowing direct dispatch in cases where
it is safe.  If any of requirements are not met, request is queued to
g_up or g_down thread same as before.

Such GEOM classes were reviewed and updated to support direct dispatch:
CONCAT, DEV, DISK, GATE, MD, MIRROR, MULTIPATH, NOP, PART, RAID, STRIPE,
VFS, ZERO, ZFS::VDEV, ZFS::ZVOL, all classes based on g_slice KPI (LABEL,
MAP, FLASHMAP, etc).

To declare direct completion capability disk(9) KPI got new flag equivalent
to G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- DISKFLAG_DIRECT_COMPLETION.  da(4) and ada(4) disk
drivers got it set now thanks to earlier CAM locking work.

This change more then twice increases peak block storage performance on
systems with manu CPUs, together with earlier CAM locking changes reaching
more then 1 million IOPS (512 byte raw reads from 16 SATA SSDs on 4 HBAs to
256 user-level threads).

80e669df9e Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues available to the
user.  Kqueue now saves the ucred of the allocating thread, to
correctly decrement the counter on close.

Under some specific and not real-world use scenario for kqueue, it is
possible for the kqueues to consume memory proportional to the square
of the number of the filedescriptors available to the process.  Limit
allows administrator to prevent the abuse.

This is kernel-mode side of the change, with the user-mode enabling
commit following.

a3e56e6934 MFprojects/camlock r256619:
Restore BIO_UNMAPPED and BIO_TRANSIENT_MAPPING in biodonne() when unmapping
temporary mapped buffer.  That fixes double unmap if biodone() called twice
for the same BIO (but with different done methods).

Move mapping removal before calling bio_done() method.  I believe that it is
very wrong to do anything to BIO after reporting completion.  kib@ thinks
it was done for some forgotten now case when bio_done() method needed mapped
buffer. But 1) if BIO was sent as unmapped, then IMO done() should be called
in the same way; 2) IMO there is no guatantee that buffer will be mapped at
this point at all, for example, if all underlying stack supports unmapped
I/O, so bio_done() handler can not expect that.

9c2f444a0a Merge from project branch. Uninteresting commits are trimmed.
Refactor of /dev/random device. Main points include:

* Userland seeding is no longer used. This auto-seeds at boot time
on PC/Desktop setups; this may need some tweeking and intelligence
from those folks setting up embedded boxes, but the work is believed
to be minimal.

* An entropy cache is written to /entropy (even during installation)
and the kernel uses this at next boot.

* An entropy file written to /boot/entropy can be loaded by loader(8)

* Hardware sources such as rdrand are fed into Yarrow, and are no
longer available raw.

Debugging. My attempt at EVENTHANDLER(multiuser) was a failure; use

This means we can't count on /var being present, so something will

to be written, but apart from that we are now ready to go.

Simplify the malloc pools; We only need one for this device.

Simplify the harvest queue.

Marginally improve the entropy pool hashing, making it a bit faster
in the process.

Connect up the hardware "live" source harvesting. This is simplistic
for now, and will need to be made rate-adaptive.

All of the above passes a compile test but needs to be debugged.

Snapshot. This passes the build test, but has not yet been finished or debugged.

Contains:

* Refactor the hardware RNG CPU instruction sources to feed into
the software mixer. This is unfinished. The actual harvesting needs
to be sorted out. Modified by me (see below).

* Remove 'frac' parameter from random_harvest(). This was never
used and adds extra code for no good reason.

* Remove device write entropy harvesting. This provided a weak
attack vector, was not very good at bootstrapping the device. To
follow will be a replacement explicit reseed knob.

* Separate out all the RANDOM_PURE sources into separate harvest
entities. This adds some secuity in the case where more than one
is present.

* Review all the code and fix anything obviously messy or inconsistent.
Address som review concerns while I'm here, like rename the pseudo-rng
to 'dummy'.

or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral
name.

2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could
be done here.

3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter;
128 bits will last for long enough.

There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed
at a later stage.

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE")
 * It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
   the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
   it should belong in a manual page

2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
 * rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()

3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"

Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.

4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.

The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)

5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block

6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow

d973ab2c23 Do not flush buffers when the v_object of the passed vnode does not
really belong to it. Such vnodes, with the pointers to other vnodes
v_objects, are typically instantiated by the bypass filesystems.
Invalidating mappings of other vnode pages and the pages is wrong,
since reclamation of the upper vnode does not imply that lower vnode
is reclaimed too.

One of the consequences of the improper reclamation was destruction of
the wired mappings of the lower vnode pages, triggering miscellaneous
assertions in the VM system.

Grow the table exponentially instead of increasing its size by

b28953010e Snapshot. This passes the build test, but has not yet been finished or debugged.
Contains:

* Refactor the hardware RNG CPU instruction sources to feed into
the software mixer. This is unfinished. The actual harvesting needs
to be sorted out. Modified by me (see below).

* Remove 'frac' parameter from random_harvest(). This was never
used and adds extra code for no good reason.

* Remove device write entropy harvesting. This provided a weak
attack vector, was not very good at bootstrapping the device. To
follow will be a replacement explicit reseed knob.

* Separate out all the RANDOM_PURE sources into separate harvest
entities. This adds some secuity in the case where more than one
is present.

* Review all the code and fix anything obviously messy or inconsistent.
Address som review concerns while I'm here, like rename the pseudo-rng
to 'dummy'.

6b64ef7266 Change len checks for fstypelen and fspathlen to be against absolute len
not strlen as they are *not* strings.

Discovered by GSOC student, Mike Ma <mikemandarine@gmail.com> during his

031d824a49 When helping the bufdaemon from the buffer allocation context, there
is no sense to walk the whole dirty buffer queue.  We are only
interested in, and can operate on, the buffers owned by the current
vnode [1].  Instead of calling generic queue flush routine, do
VOP_FSYNC() if possible.

Holding the dirty buffer queue lock in the bufdaemon, without dropping
it, can cause starvation of buffer writes from other threads. This is
esp. easy to reproduce on the big memory machines, where large files
are written, causing almost all dirty buffers accumulating in several
big files, which vnodes are locked by writers. Bufdaemon cannot flush
any buffer, but is iterating over the whole dirty queue
continuously. Since dirty queue mutex is not dropped, bufdone() in
g_up thread is starved, usually deadlocking the machine [2]. Mitigate
this by dropping the queue lock after the vnode is locked, allowing
other queue lock contenders to make a progress.

26571b5c44 For vunref(), try to upgrade the vnode lock if the function was called
with the vnode shared-locked.  If upgrade succeeded, the inactivation
can be done immediately, instead of being postponed.

e309fe770f Reimplement r255797 using LK_TRYUPGRADE.
The  r255797 was:
Increase the chance of the buffer write from the bufdaemon helper
context to succeed.  If the locked vnode which owns the buffer to be
written is shared locked, try the non-blocking upgrade of the lock to
exclusive.

632f1d29f3 Add LK_TRYUPGRADE operation for lockmgr(9), which attempts to
atomically upgrade shared lock to exclusive.  On failure, error is
returned and lock is not dropped in the process.

9a6c86c297 Do not allow negative timeouts for kqueue timers, check for the
negative timeout both before and after the conversion to sbintime_t.

For periodic kqueue timer, convert zero timeout into 1ms, to avoid
interrupt storm on fast event timers.
