Updates in the format described in section 9.11 of the Intel SDM can
now be applied as one of the first steps in booting the kernel. Updates
that are loaded this way are automatically re-applied upon exit from
ACPI sleep states, in contrast with the existing cpucontrol(8)-based
method. For the time being only Intel updates are supported.
Microcode update files are passed to the kernel via loader(8). The
file type must be "cpu_microcode" in order for the file to be recognized
as a candidate microcode update. Updates for multiple CPU types may be
concatenated together into a single file, in which case the kernel
will select and apply a matching update. Memory used to store the
update file will be freed back to the system once the update is applied,
so this approach will not consume more memory than required.

Do not use vm_map_remove() to release KVA back to the system. Because
kernel map entries do not have an associated VM object, with r336030
the vm_map_remove() call will not update the kernel page tables. Avoid
relying on the vm_map layer and instead update the pmap and release KVA
to the kernel arena directly in kmem_bootstrap_free().
Because the pmap updates will generally result in superpage demotions,
modify pmap_init() to insert PTPs shadowed by superpage mappings into
the kernel pmap's radix tree.
While here, port r329171 to i386.

- Don't initialize pc_domain to non-zero value if NUMA is not defined
There are some misconceptions surrounding this field. It is the
_VM_ NUMA domain and should only ever correspond to valid domain
values as understood by the VM.
The former slab size of sizeof(struct pcpu) was somewhat arbitrary.
The new value is PAGE_SIZE because that's the smallest granularity
which the VM can allocate a slab for a given domain. If you have
fewer than PAGE_SIZE/8 counters on your system there will be some
memory wasted, but this is obviously something where you want the
cache line to be coming from the correct domain.

The Linux compatibility code was converting the version number (e.g.
2.6.32) in two different ways and then comparing the results.
The linux_map_osrel() function converted MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH similar to
what FreeBSD does natively. I.e. where major=v0, minor=v1, and patch=v2
v = v0 * 1000000 + v1 * 1000 + v2;
The LINUX_KERNVER() macro, on the other hand, converted the value with
bit shifts. I.e. where major=a, minor=b, and patch=c
v = (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
The Linux kernel uses the later format via the KERNEL_VERSION() macro in
include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
Fix is to use the LINUX_KERNVER() macro in linux_map_osrel() as well as
in the .trans_osrel functions.

Most kernel memory that is allocated after boot does not need to be
executable. There are a few exceptions. For example, kernel modules
do need executable memory, but they don't use UMA or malloc(9). The
BPF JIT compiler also needs executable memory and did use malloc(9)
until r317072.
(Note that a side effect of r316767 was that the "small allocation"
path in UMA on amd64 already returned non-executable memory. This
meant that some calls to malloc(9) or the UMA zone(9) allocator could
return executable memory, while others could return non-executable
memory. This change makes the behavior consistent.)
This change makes malloc(9) return non-executable memory unless the new
M_EXEC flag is specified. After this change, the UMA zone(9) allocator
will always return non-executable memory, and a KASSERT will catch
attempts to use the M_EXEC flag to allocate executable memory using
uma_zalloc() or its variants.
Allocations that do need executable memory have various choices. They
may use the M_EXEC flag to malloc(9), or they may use a different VM
interfact to obtain executable pages.
Now that malloc(9) again allows executable allocations, this change also
reverts most of r317072.

time, especially for SMP. If configured, it turns itself on at boot
time for calibration, so is fragile even if never otherwise used.
Both types of kernel profiling were supposed to use a global spinlock
in the SMP case. If hi-res profiling is configured (but not necessarily
used), this was supposed to be optimized by only using it when
necessary, and slightly more efficiently, in asm. But it was not done
at all for mcount entry where it is necessary. This caused crashes
in the SMP case when either type of profiling was enabled. For mcount
exit, it only caused wrong times. The times were wrongest with an
i8254 timer since using that requires exclusive access to the hardware.
The i8254 timer was too slow to use here 20 years ago and is much less
usable now, but it is the default for the SMP case since TSCs weren't
invariant when SMP was new. Do the locking in all hi-res SMP cases for
simplicity.
Calibration uses special asms, and the clobber lists in these were sort
of inverted. They contained the arg and return registers which are not
clobbered, but on amd64 they didn't contain the residue of the call-used
registers which may be clobbered (%r10 and %r11). This usually caused
hangs at boot time. This usually affected even the UP case.
kernel profiling remains broken).
memmove() was broken using ALTENTRY(). ALTENTRY() is only different from
ENTRY() in the profiling case, and its use in that case was sort of
backwards. The backwardness magically turned memmove() into memcpy()
instead of completely breaking it. Only the high resolution parts of
profiling itself were broken. Use ordinary ENTRY() for memmove().
Turn bcopy() into a tail call to memmove() to reduce complications.
This gives slightly different pessimizations and profiling lossage.
The pessimizations are minimized by not using a frame pointer() for
bcopy().
Calls to profiling functions from exception trampolines were not
relocated. This caused crashes on the first exception. Fix this using
function pointers.
Addresses of exception handlers in trampolines were not relocated. This
caused unknown offsets in the profiling data. Relocate by abusing
setidt_disp as for pmc although this is slower than necessary and
requires namespace pollution. pmc seems to be missing some relocations.
Stack traces and lots of other things in debuggers need similar relocations.
Most user addresses were misclassified as unknown kernel addresses and
then ignored. Treat all unknown addresses as user. Now only user
addresses in the kernel text range are significantly misclassified (as
known kernel addresses).
The ibrs functions didn't preserve enough registers. This is the only
recent breakage on amd64. Although these functions are written in
asm, in the profiling case they call profiling functions which are
mostly for the C ABI, so they only have to save call-used registers.
They also have to save arg and return registers in some cases and
actually save them in all cases to reduce complications. They end up
saving all registers except %ecx on i386 and %r10 and %r11 on amd64.
Saving these is only needed for 1 caller on each of amd64 and i386.
Save them there. This is slightly simpler.
Remove saving %ecx in handle_ibrs_exit on i386. Both handle_ibrs_entry
and handle_ibrs_exit use %ecx, but only the latter needed to or did
save it. But saving it there doesn't work for the profiling case.
amd64 has more automatic saving of the most common scratch registers
%rax, %rcx and %rdx (its complications for %r10 are from unusual use
of %r10 by SYSCALL). Thus profiling of handle_ibrs_exit_rs() was not
broken, and I didn't simplify the saving by moving the saving of these
registers from it to the caller.
Intel now provides comprehensive tables for all performance counters
and the various valid configuration permutations as text .json files.
Libpmc has been converted to use these and hwpmc_core has been greatly
simplified by moving to passthrough of the table values.
The one gotcha is that said tables don't support pentium pro and and pentium
IV. There's very few users of hwpmc on _amd64_ kernels on new hardware. It is
unlikely that anyone is doing low level optimization on 15 year old Intel
hardware. Nonetheless, if someone feels strongly enough to populate the
corresponding tables for p4 and ppro I will reinstate the files in to the
build.
Code for the K8 counters and !x86 architectures remains unchanged.
This is a follow-up to r321483, which disabled -Wmacro-redefined for
some lib/msun tests.
If an application included both fenv.h and ieeefp.h, several macros such
as __fldcw(), __fldenv() were defined in both headers, with slightly
different arguments, leading to conflicts.
Fix this by putting all the common macros in the machine-specific
versions of ieeefp.h. Where needed, update the arguments in places
where the macros are invoked.
This also slightly reduces the differences between the amd64 and i386
versions of ieeefp.h.
