IPI_STOP is used after panic or when ddb is entered manually. MONITOR/ MWAIT allows CPUs that support the feature to sleep in a low power way instead of spinning. Something similar is already used at idle. It is perhaps especially useful in oversubscribed VM environments, and is safe to use even if the panic/ddb thread is not the BSP. (Except in the presence of MWAIT errata, which are detected automatically on platforms with known wakeup problems.) It can be tuned/sysctled with "machdep.stop_mwait," which defaults to 0 (off). This commit also introduces the tunable "machdep.mwait_cpustop_broken," which defaults to 0, unless the CPU has known errata, but may be set to "1" in loader.conf to signal that mwait wakeup is broken on CPUs FreeBSD does not yet know about. Unfortunately, Bhyve doesn't yet support MONITOR extensions, so this doesn't help bhyve hypervisors running FreeBSD guests.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
