closed by r310302 for knote().
If KN_INFLUX | KN_SCAN flags are set for the note passed to knote() or
knote_fork(), i.e. the knote is scanned, we might erronously clear
INFLUX when finishing notification. For normal knote() it was fixed
in r310302 simply by remembering the fact that we do not own
KN_INFLUX, since there we own knlist lock and scan thread cannot clear
KN_INFLUX until we drop the lock. For knote_fork(), the situation is
more complicated, e must drop knlist lock AKA the process lock, since
we need to register new knotes.
Change KN_INFLUX into counter and allow shared ownership of the
in-flux state between scan and knote_fork() or knote(). Both in-flux
setters need to ensure that knote is not dropped in parallel. Added
assert about kn_influx == 1 in knote_drop() verifies that in-flux state
is not shared when knote is destroyed.
Since KBI of the struct knote is changed by addition of the int
kn_influx field, reorder kn_hook and kn_hookid to fill pad on LP64
arches [1]. This keeps sizeof(struct knote) to same 128 bytes as it
was before addition of kn_influx, on amd64.

The removal of TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE introduced a small race: when the last
thread on a sleepqueue is awoken, it reclaims the sleepqueue and may begin
executing on a different CPU before sleepq_resume_thread() returns. This
leaves a window during which it may go back to sleep and incorrectly be
awoken again by the caller of sleepq_broadcast().

pause() uses a spin loop to simulate a sleep during early boot. However,
we only need this for thread0 to get far enough in the boot process to
enable timers (at which point pause() can sleep). For other kthreads,
sleeping in pause() is ok as the callout will be scheduled and will
eventually fire once thread0 initializes timers.

For notes in KN_INFLUX|KN_SCAN state, the influx bit is set by a
parallel scan. When knote() reports event for the vnode filters,
which require kqueue unlocked, it unconditionally sets and then clears
influx to keep note around kqueue unlock. There, do not clear influx
flag if a scan set it, since we do not own it, instead we prevent scan
from executing by holding knlist lock.
The knote_fork() function has somewhat similar problem, it might set
KN_INFLUX for scanned note, drop kqueue and list locks, and then clear
the flag after relock. A solution there would be different enough, as
well as the test program, so close the reported issue first.

Sysctls like kern.eventtimer.et.*.quality currently embed the name of
the clock device. This is problematic for the Prometheus metrics
exporter for two reasons:
- Some of those clocks have dashes in their names, which Prometheus
doesn't allow to be used in metric names.
- It doesn't allow for extracting the same property of all clocks on the
system from within a single query.
Attach these nodes to have a label, so that the Prometheus metrics
exporter gives these metric a uniform name with the name of the clock

I'm currently working on writing a metrics exporter for the Prometheus
monitoring system to provide access to sysctl metrics. Prometheus and
sysctl have some structural differences:
- sysctl is a tree of string component names.
- Prometheus uses a flat namespace for its metrics, but allows you to
attach labels with values to them, so that you can do aggregation.
An initial version of my exporter simply translated
hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature
to
sysctl_hw_acpi_thermal_tz1_temperature_celcius
while we should ideally have
sysctl_hw_acpi_thermal_temperature_celcius{thermal_zone="tz1"}
allowing you to graph all thermal zones on a system in one go.
The change presented in this commit adds support for accomplishing this,
by providing the ability to attach labels to nodes. In the example I
gave above, the label "thermal_zone" would be attached to "tz1". As this
is a feature that will only be used very rarely, I decided to not change
the KPI too aggressively.

The traditional reaper init(8) is aware of zombies silently reparented
to it after the parents exit, it loops around waitpid(2) to collect
them. For other reapers, the silent reparenting is surprising and
collecting zombies requires a thread blocking in waitpid(2) just for
that purpose. It seems that sending second SIGCHLD is a better
workaround than forcing all reapers to obey the setup.

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.

- Extract the code to report alive process into a new helper

Note that the process spinlock is required around the WTRAPPED and

set before other threads are stopped at the suspension point, and that
threads increment p_suspcount while owning only the process spinlock,
the process lock is dropped by them. If the spinlock is not taken for

As of r234483, vnode deactivation causes non-VPO_NOSYNC pages to be
laundered. This behaviour has two problems:
1. Dirty VPO_NOSYNC pages must be laundered before the vnode can be
reclaimed, and this work may be unfairly deferred to the vnlru process
or an unrelated application when the system is under vnode pressure.
2. Deactivation of a vnode with dirty VPO_NOSYNC pages requires a scan of
the corresponding VM object's memq for non-VPO_NOSYNC dirty pages; if
the laundry thread needs to launder pages from an unreferenced such
vnode, it will reactivate and deactivate the vnode with each laundering,
potentially resulting in a large number of expensive scans.
Therefore, ensure that all dirty pages are laundered upon deactivation,
i.e., when all maps of the vnode are removed and all references are
released.

The callout subsystem already handles early callouts and schedules
the first clock interrupt appropriately based on the currently pending
callouts. The one nit to fix was that callouts scheduled via C_HARDCLOCK
during early boot could fire too early once timers were enabled as the
per-CPU base time is always zero until timers are initialized. The change
in callout_when() handles this case by using the current uptime as the
base time of the callout during bootup if the per-CPU base time is zero.

The swap pager enqueues laundered pages near the head of the inactive queue
to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
of the buffer cache. No changes are needed for ZFS since its putpages
routine always undirties the pages before returning, and the laundry
thread requeues the pages appropriately in this case.

- Cycle through the request and substitute to bogus_page all valid
