start only one worker thread. For software crypto it will start by default
N worker threads where N is the number of available CPUs.
This is not optimal if hardware crypto is AES-NI, which uses CPU for AES
calculations.
Change that to always start one worker thread for every available CPU.
Number of worker threads per GELI provider can be easly reduced with
kern.geom.eli.threads sysctl/tunable and even for software crypto it
should be reduced when using more providers.
While here, when number of threads exceeds number of CPUs avilable don't
reduce this number, assume the user knows what he is doing.

with older FreeBSD versions:
- Add -V option to 'geli init' to specify version number. If no -V is given
the most recent version is used.
- If -V is given don't allow to use features not supported by this version.
- Print version in 'geli list' output.
- Update manual page and add table describing which GELI version is
supported by which FreeBSD version, so one can use it when preparing GELI
device for older FreeBSD version.

was not updated to pass CRD_F_KEY_EXPLICIT flag to opencrypto. This resulted in
always using first key.
We need to support providers created with this bug, so set special
G_ELI_FLAG_FIRST_KEY flag for GELI provider in integrity mode with version
smaller than 6 and pass the CRD_F_KEY_EXPLICIT flag to opencrypto only if
G_ELI_FLAG_FIRST_KEY doesn't exist.

cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.

create reasonably large cache for the keys that is filled when
needed. The previous version was problematic for very large providers
(hundreds of terabytes or serval petabytes). Every terabyte of data
needs around 256kB for keys. Make the default cache limit big enough
to fit all the keys needed for 4TB providers, which will eat at most
1MB of memory.

Change the last argument of gets() to indicate a visibility flag and add

will behave exactly the same, so existing consumers shouldn't break. We
only use it in two places, though.

Before this change if you wanted to suspend your laptop and be sure that your
encryption keys are safe, you had to stop all processes that use file system
stored on encrypted device, unmount the file system and detach geli provider.
This isn't very handy. If you are a lucky user of a laptop where suspend/resume
actually works with FreeBSD (I'm not!) you most likely want to suspend your
laptop, because you don't want to start everything over again when you turn
your laptop back on.
And this is where geli suspend/resume steps in. When you execute:
# geli suspend -a
geli will wait for all in-flight I/O requests, suspend new I/O requests, remove
all geli sensitive data from the kernel memory (like encryption keys) and will
wait for either 'geli resume' or 'geli detach'.
Now with no keys in memory you can suspend your laptop without stopping any
processes or unmounting any file systems.
When you resume your laptop you have to resume geli devices using 'geli resume'
command. You need to provide your passphrase, etc. again so the keys can be
restored and suspended I/O requests released.
Of course you need to remember that 'geli suspend' won't clear file system
cache and other places where data from your geli-encrypted file system might be
present. But to get rid of those stopping processes and unmounting file system
won't help either - you have to turn your laptop off. Be warned.
Also note, that suspending geli device which contains file system with geli
utility (or anything used by 'geli resume') is not very good idea, as you won't
be able to resume it - when you execute geli(8), the kernel will try to read it
and this read I/O request will be suspended.
but because of a bug it was a no-op, so we were still using offsets in native
byte order for the host. Do it properly this time, bump version to 4 and set
the G_ELI_FLAG_NATIVE_BYTE_ORDER flag when version is under 4.

to kproc_xxx as they actually make whole processes.
Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version
when it's added. but we need to make this cosmetic change first.
I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0 so that we can eventually MFC the
new kthread_xxx() calls.
- Use thread_lock() rather than sched_lock for per-thread scheduling
sychronization.
- Use the per-process spinlock rather than the sched_lock for per-process
scheduling synchronization.

o make all crypto drivers have a device_t; pseudo drivers like the s/w
crypto driver synthesize one
o change the api between the crypto subsystem and drivers to use kobj;
cryptodev_if.m defines this api
o use the fact that all crypto drivers now have a device_t to add support
for specifying which of several potential devices to use when doing
crypto operations
o add new ioctls that allow user apps to select a specific crypto device
to use (previous ioctls maintained for compatibility)
o overhaul crypto subsystem code to eliminate lots of cruft and hide
implementation details from drivers
o bring in numerous fixes from Michale Richardson/hifn; mostly for
795x parts
o add an optional mechanism for mmap'ing the hifn 795x public key h/w
to user space for use by openssl (not enabled by default)
o update crypto test tools to use new ioctl's and add cmd line options
to specify a device to use for tests
These changes will also enable much future work on improving the core
crypto subsystem; including proper load balancing and interposing code
between the core and drivers to dispatch small operations to the s/w
driver as appropriate.
These changes were instigated by the work of Michael Richardson.

This way one will be able to use provider encrypted on eg. i386 on
eg. sparc64. This doesn't really buy us much today, because UFS isn't
endian agnostic.
We retain backward compatibility by setting G_ELI_FLAG_NATIVE_BYTE_ORDER
flag on devices with version number less than 2 and not converting the
offset.
