f9dfbfa143 Add UPDATING entry for the AR71xx config changes 2011-04-30 11:30:42 +00:00
Rick Macklem
4309e17add This patch changes head so that the default NFS client is now the new
NFS client (which I guess is no longer experimental). The fstype "newnfs"
is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
changes, an updated mount_nfs(8) binary is needed for kernels built with
"options NFSCL" but not "options NFSCLIENT". Updated mount_nfs(8) and
mount(8) binaries are needed to do mounts for fstype "oldnfs".
The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use options
NFSCL and NFSD (the new client and server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
For kernels being used on diskless NFS root systems, "options NFSCL"
must be in the kernel config.

0d307e0905 - Add shim to simplify migration to the CAM-based ATA. For each new adaX
device in /dev/ create symbolic link with adY name, trying to mimic old ATA
numbering. Imitation is not complete, but should be enough in most cases to
mount file systems without touching /etc/fstab.
 - To know what behavior to mimic, restore ATA_STATIC_ID option in cases
where it was present before.
 - Add some more details to UPDATING.

Alexander Motin
97b53e3634 Switch the GENERIC kernels for all architectures to the new CAM-based ATA
stack. It means that all legacy ATA drivers are disabled and replaced by
respective CAM drivers. If you are using ATA device names in /etc/fstab or
other places, make sure to update them respectively (adX -> adaY,
acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, where 'Y's are the sequential
numbers for each type in order of detection, unless configured otherwise
with tunables, see cam(4)).

ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class.
To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool
for management. Instead of /dev/arX device names, use /dev/raid/rX.

2a85df8ca0 This patch changes the default NFS server to the new one, which was
referred to as the experimental server. It also adds a new command
line option "-o" to both mountd and nfsd that forces them to use the
old/regular NFS server. The "-e" option for these commands is now
a no-op, since the new server is the default. I will be committing rc
script and man changes soon. Discussed on freebsd-fs@.

39bc9de532 - Add some helper hook points to the TCP stack. The hooks allow Khelp modules to
access inbound/outbound events and associated data for established TCP
  connections. The hooks only run if at least one hook function is registered
  for the hook point, ensuring the impact on the stack is effectively nil when
  no TCP Khelp modules are loaded. struct tcp_hhook_data is passed as contextual

- Add an OSD (Object Specific Data) pointer to struct tcpcb to allow Khelp
  modules to associate per-connection data with the TCP control block.

94877c06f3 Suggest to run the delete-old target after the second mergemaster. If you run
it before, your rc scripts may still reference old files/directories and
if you are in the unlucky situation to have triggered a reboot (intentionally
or not) between the delete-old run and the mergemaster, your system may not
start anymore.

While I'm here, give a hint about delete-old-libs.

efd4fc3fb3 o Flesh out the generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control
support in mii(4):
  - Merge generic flow control advertisement (which can be enabled by
    passing by MIIF_DOPAUSE to mii_attach(9)) and parsing support from
    NetBSD into mii_physubr.c and ukphy_subr.c. Unlike as in NetBSD,
    IFM_FLOW isn't implemented as a global option via the "don't care
    mask" but instead as a media specific option this. This has the
    following advantages:
    o allows flow control advertisement with autonegotiation to be
      turned on and off via ifconfig(8) with the default typically
      being off (though MIIF_FORCEPAUSE has been added causing flow
      control to be always advertised, allowing to easily MFC this
      changes for drivers that previously used home-grown support for
      flow control that behaved that way without breaking POLA)
    o allows to deal with PHY drivers where flow control advertisement
      with manual selection doesn't work or at least isn't implemented,
      like it's the case with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4),
      by setting MIIF_NOMANPAUSE
    o the available combinations of media options are readily available
      from the `ifconfig -m` output
  - Add IFM_FLOW to IFM_SHARED_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS and IFM_ETH_RXPAUSE
    and IFM_ETH_TXPAUSE to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so
    these are understood by ifconfig(8).
o Make the master/slave support in mii(4) actually usable:
  - Change IFM_ETH_MASTER from being implemented as a global option via
    the "don't care mask" to a media specific one as it actually is only
    applicable to IFM_1000_T to date.
  - Let mii_phy_setmedia() set GTCR_MAN_MS in IFM_1000_T slave mode to
    actually configure manually selected slave mode (like we also do in
    the PHY specific implementations).
  - Add IFM_ETH_MASTER to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so it
    is understood by ifconfig(8).
o Switch bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along with brgphy(4),
  e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to use the generic flow control support
  instead of home-grown solutions via IFM_FLAGs. This includes changing
  these PHY drivers and smcphy(4) to no longer unconditionally advertise
  support for flow control but only if the selected media has IFM_FLOW
  set (or MIIF_FORCEPAUSE is set) and implemented for these media variants,
  i.e. typically only for copper.
o Switch brgphy(4), ciphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to report and
  set IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER instead of via IFF_LINK0
  and some IFM_FLAGn.
o Switch brgphy(4) to add at least the the supported copper media based on
  the contents of the BMSR via mii_phy_add_media() instead of hardcoding
  them. The latter approach seems to have developed historically, besides
  causing unnecessary code duplication it was also undesirable because
  brgphy_mii_phy_auto() already based the capability advertisement on the
  contents of the BMSR though.
o Let brgphy(4) set IFM_1000_T master mode on all supported PHY and not
  just BCM5701. Apparently this was a misinterpretation of a workaround
  in the Linux tg3 driver; BCM5701 seem to require RGPHY_1000CTL_MSE and
  BRGPHY_1000CTL_MSC to be set when configuring autonegotiation but
  this doesn't mean we can't set these as well on other PHYs for manual
  media selection.
o Let ukphy_status() report IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER so
  IFM_1000_T master mode support now is generally available with all PHY
  drivers.
o Don't let e1000phy(4) set master/slave bits for IFM_1000_SX as it's
  not applicable there.

dbc4240942 This commit marks the first formal contribution of the "Five New TCP Congestion
Control Algorithms for FreeBSD" FreeBSD Foundation funded project. More details
about the project are available at: http://caia.swin.edu.au/freebsd/5cc/

- Add a KPI and supporting infrastructure to allow modular congestion control
  algorithms to be used in the net stack. Algorithms can maintain per-connection
  state if required, and connections maintain their own algorithm pointer, which
  allows different connections to concurrently use different algorithms. The
  TCP_CONGESTION socket option can be used with getsockopt()/setsockopt() to
  programmatically query or change the congestion control algorithm respectively
  from within an application at runtime.

- Integrate the framework with the TCP stack in as least intrusive a manner as
  possible. Care was also taken to develop the framework in a way that should
  allow integration with other congestion aware transport protocols (e.g. SCTP)
  in the future. The hope is that we will one day be able to share a single set
  of congestion control algorithm modules between all congestion aware transport
  protocols.

- Introduce a new congestion recovery (TF_CONGRECOVERY) state into the TCP stack
  and use it to decouple the meaning of recovery from a congestion event and
  recovery from packet loss (TF_FASTRECOVERY) a la RFC2581. ECN and delay based
  congestion control protocols don't generally need to recover from packet loss
  and need a different way to note a congestion recovery episode within the
  stack.

- Remove the net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl, which simplifies some portions of code
  and ensures the stack always uses the appropriate mechanisms for recovering
  from packet loss during a congestion recovery episode.

- Extract the NewReno congestion control algorithm from the TCP stack and
  massage it into module form. NewReno is always built into the kernel and will
  remain the default algorithm for the forseeable future. Implementations of
  additional different algorithms will become available in the near future.

- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025 and note in UPDATING that rebuilding code
  that relies on the size of "struct tcpcb" is required.

d3a8a8b9fa Split $ipv6_prefer into $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address
selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).
The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3,
the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484,
respectively.  When "AUTO" is specified, it attempts to read
/etc/ip6addrctl.conf first.  If it is found, it reads and installs it as
a policy table.  If not, either of the two pre-defined policy tables is
chosen automatically according to $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.

When $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO, interfaces which have no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is marked as IFDISABLED for security reason.

The default values are ip6addrctl_policy=AUTO and
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO.

4dc88ebedf Add BSD grep to the base system and make it our default grep.
Deliverables: Small and clean code (1,4 KSLOC vs GNU's 8,5 KSLOC),
              lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility,
              BSD license.

TODO:         Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only
              significant for bigger searches.  The reason is complex, the
              most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of
              optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library.
              First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting
              TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then
              reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks.  In
              the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is
              possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.

2965a45315 On Alan's advice, rather than do a wholesale conversion on a single
architecture from page queue lock to a hashed array of page locks
(based on a patch by Jeff Roberson), I've implemented page lock
support in the MI code and have only moved vm_page's hold_count
out from under page queue mutex to page lock. This changes
pmap_extract_and_hold on all pmaps.

21edb039c6 WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there
are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also
affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the
compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions
WITH_CTF=yes").

Additional (related) changes:
 - propagate WITH_CTF to module builds
 - do not add -g to the linker flags, it's a noop there anyway
   (at least according to the man page of ld)
 - do not add -g to CFLAGS unconditionally
   we need to have a look if it is really needed (IMO not) or if there
   is a way to add it only when WITH_CTF is used

Note: ctfconvert / ctfmerge lines will not appear in the build output,
to protect the innocent (those which do not build with WITH_CTF would
see the shell-test and may think WITH_CTF is used).

5ab7f1fc40 Add wtmpcvt(1).
This utility allows users to convert their wtmp databases to the new
format. It makes no sense for users to keep their wtmp log files if they
are unable to view them.

It basically copies ut_line into ut_id as well. This makes it possible
for last(1) and ac(8) to match login records with their corresponding

f7829d0d5c Introduce the new kernel thread called "deadlock resolver".
While the name is pretentious, a good explanation of its targets is
reported in this 17 months old presentation e-mail:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2008-August/008452.html

In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq

rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.

4b2361f811 Convert syscons on i386 to TERM=xterm.
TEKEN_XTERM is now gone. Because we always use xterm mode now, we only

e42fc36867 Switch the default terminal emulation style to xterm for most platforms.
Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:

- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
  regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
  UTF-8.

Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.

I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.

IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):

- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
  send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
  TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
  You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
  virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

2e77c5abfb Fix several logic bugs in the previous IPv6 variable change and
re-add $ipv6_enable support for backward compatibility.  From
UPDATING:

 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
    for IPv4.  For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
    Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.

    Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
    understand what you are doing.  It is not needed in most cases.

    $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
    they are obsolete.

 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete.  Use $ipv6_prefer and/or
    "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.

    If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
    all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
    $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.  These are for backward compatibility.

 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added.  If NO, IPv6
    functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
    $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
    and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
    is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
    Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
    disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
    using ifconfig(8) like:

         ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled

    If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
    IPv6-preferred.

    The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.

 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
    define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.  The rc(8)
    scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
    UP.  The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
    (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).

dc6fbf6545 * Completely Remove the option STOP_NMI from the kernel. This option
has proven to have a good effect when entering KDB by using a NMI,
but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts
disabled while holding a spinlock in other occasions.  This can be the
cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases

eddfbb763d Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator.  Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...).  This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack.  Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory.  Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy.  Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address.  When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

838d985825 Rework the credential code to support larger values of NGROUPS and
NGROUPS_MAX, eliminate ABI dependencies on them, and raise the to 1024
and 1023 respectively.  (Previously they were equal, but under a close
reading of POSIX, NGROUPS_MAX was defined to be too large by 1 since it
is the number of supplemental groups, not total number of groups.)

The bulk of the change consists of converting the struct ucred member
cr_groups from a static array to a pointer.  Do the equivalent in
kinfo_proc.

Introduce new interfaces crcopysafe() and crsetgroups() for duplicating
a process credential before modifying it and for setting group lists
respectively.  Both interfaces take care for the details of allocating
groups array. crsetgroups() takes care of truncating the group list
to the current maximum (NGROUPS) if necessary.  In the future,
crsetgroups() may be responsible for insuring invariants such as sorting
the supplemental groups to allow groupmember() to be implemented as a
binary search.

Because we can not change struct xucred without breaking application
ABIs, we leave it alone and introduce a new XU_NGROUPS value which is
always 16 and is to be used or NGRPS as appropriate for things such as
NFS which need to use no more than 16 groups.  When feasible, truncate
the group list rather than generating an error.

Minor changes:
  - Reduce the number of hand rolled versions of groupmember().
  - Do not assign to both cr_gid and cr_groups[0].
  - Modify ipfw to cache ucreds instead of part of their contents since
    they are immutable once referenced by more than one entity.

651175c9db Introduce support for adaptive spinning in lockmgr.
Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way.  In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops .  Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.

Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL.  The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).

Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.

f089869fa5 Introduce a mechanism for detecting calls from outbound path of the
network stack when reentering the inbound path from netgraph, and
force queueing of mbufs at the outbound netgraph node.

The mechanism relies on two components.  First, in netgraph nodes
where outbound path of the network stack calls into netgraph, the
current thread has to be appropriately marked using the new
NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_REF() macro before proceeding to call further
into the netgraph topology, and unmarked using the
NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_UNREF() macro before returning to the caller.
Second, netgraph nodes which can potentially reenter the network
stack in the inbound path have to mark their inbound hooks using
NG_HOOK_SET_TO_INBOUND() macro.  The netgraph framework will then
detect when there is a danger of a call graph looping back from
outbound to inbound path via netgraph, and defer handing off the
mbufs to the "inbound" node to a worker thread with a clean stack.

In this first pass only the most obvious netgraph nodes have been
updated to ensure no outbound to inbound calls can occur.  Nodes
such as ng_ipfw, ng_gif etc. should be further examined whether a
potential for outbound to inbound call looping exists.

This commit changes the layout of struct thread, but due to
__FreeBSD_version number shortage a version bump has been omitted
at this time, nevertheless kernel and modules have to be rebuilt.

bc29160df3 Introduce an infrastructure for dismantling vnet instances.
Vnet modules and protocol domains may now register destructor
functions to clean up and release per-module state.  The destructor
mechanisms can be triggered by invoking "vimage -d", or a future
equivalent command which will be provided via the new jail framework.

While this patch introduces numerous placeholder destructor functions,
many of those are currently incomplete, thus leaking memory or (even
worse) failing to stop all running timers.  Many of such issues are
already known and will be incrementaly fixed over the next weeks in
smaller incremental commits.

Apart from introducing new fields in structs ifnet, domain, protosw
and vnet_net, which requires the kernel and modules to be rebuilt, this
change should have no impact on nooptions VIMAGE builds, since vnet
destructors can only be called in VIMAGE kernels.  Moreover,
destructor functions should be in general compiled in only in
options VIMAGE builds, except for kernel modules which can be safely
kldunloaded at run time.

0304c73163 Add hierarchical jails. A jail may further virtualize its environment
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails.  Child jails may be restricted more than their parents,
but never less.  Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style
dot-separated strings.

Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system.  Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().

Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings.  The sysctls still exist for
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system

in each vnet it is possible to have a lo0 interface.  Other clonable ifnet

f6dfe47a14 Permit buiding kernels with options VIMAGE, restricted to only a single
active network stack instance.  Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:

1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables.  As an example, V_ifnet becomes:

    options VIMAGE:          ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
    default build:           vnet_net_0._ifnet
    options VIMAGE_GLOBALS:  ifnet

2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:

    INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes

    struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];

3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals.  If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.

4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet.  options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.

5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.

6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod.  SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.

Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have
been deleted.

 * Eliminate IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI(), it is no longer referenced.
   Kernel consumers which need this should use in6m_lookup().
 * Refactor IPv6 socket group memberships to use a vector (like IPv4).
 * Update ifmcstat(8) for IPv6 SSM.
 * Add witness lock order for IN6_MULTI_LOCK.
 * Move IN6_MULTI_LOCK out of lower ip6_output()/ip6_input() paths.
 * Introduce IP6STAT_ADD/SUB/INC/DEC as per rwatson's IPv4 cleanup.
 * Update carp(4) for new IPv6 SSM KPIs.
 * Virtualize ip6_mrouter socket.
   Changes mostly localized to IPv6 MROUTING.
 * Don't do a local group lookup in MROUTING.
 * Kill unused KAME prototypes in6_purgemkludge(), in6_restoremkludge().
 * Preserve KAME DAD timer jitter behaviour in MLDv1 compatibility mode.
 * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084.
 * Update UPDATING.

NOTE WELL:
 * This code hasn't been tested against real MLDv2 queriers
   (yet), although the on-wire protocol has been verified in Wireshark.
 * There are a few unresolved issues in the socket layer APIs to
   do with scope ID propagation.
 * There is a LOR present in ip6_output()'s use of
   in6_setscope() which needs to be resolved. See comments in mld6.c.
   This is believed to be benign and can't be avoided for the moment
   without re-introducing an indirect netisr.

443fc3176d Introduce a number of changes to the MROUTING code.
This is purely a forwarding plane cleanup; no control plane
code is involved.

Summary:
 * Split IPv4 and IPv6 MROUTING support. The static compile-time
   kernel option remains the same, however, the modules may now
   be built for IPv4 and IPv6 separately as ip_mroute_mod and
   ip6_mroute_mod.
 * Clean up the IPv4 multicast forwarding code to use BSD queue
   and hash table constructs. Don't build our own timer abstractions
   when ratecheck() and timevalclear() etc will do.
 * Expose the multicast forwarding cache (MFC) and virtual interface
   table (VIF) as sysctls, to reduce netstat's dependence on libkvm
   for this information for running kernels.
   * bandwidth meters however still require libkvm.
 * Make the MFC hash table size a boot/load-time tunable ULONG,
   net.inet.ip.mfchashsize (defaults to 256).
 * Remove unused members from struct vif and struct mfc.
 * Kill RSVP support, as no current RSVP implementation uses it.
   These stubs could be moved to raw_ip.c.
 * Don't share locks or initialization between IPv4 and IPv6.
 * Don't use a static struct route_in6 in ip6_mroute.c.
   The v6 code is still using a cached struct route_in6, this is
   moved to mif6 for the time being.
 * More cleanup remains to be merged from ip_mroute.c to ip6_mroute.c.

v4 path tested using ports/net/mcast-tools.
v6 changes are mostly mechanical locking and *have not* been tested.
As these changes partially break some kernel ABIs, they will not
be MFCed. There is a lot more work to be done here.

6e6b3f7cbc This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
   possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
  the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
  active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
  provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
  me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

bc093719ca Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.
The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

  The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
  make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
  device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
  in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
  TTY buffers.

  If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
  (still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
  implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

  With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
  the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
  where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
  the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
  used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

  The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
  posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

  One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
  to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
  Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
  used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

48aaad5fbc Our fts(3) API, as inherited from 4.4BSD, suffers from integer
fields in FTS and FTSENT structs being too narrow.  In addition,
the narrow types creep from there into fts.c.  As a result, fts(3)
consumers, e.g., find(1) or rm(1), can't handle file trees an ordinary
user can create, which can have security implications.

To fix the historic implementation of fts(3), OpenBSD and NetBSD
have already changed <fts.h> in somewhat incompatible ways, so we
are free to do so, too.  This change is a superset of changes from
the other BSDs with a few more improvements.  It doesn't touch
fts(3) functionality; it just extends integer types used by it to
match modern reality and the C standard.

Here are its points:

o For C object sizes, use size_t unless it's 100% certain that
  the object will be really small.  (Note that fts(3) can construct
  pathnames _much_ longer than PATH_MAX for its consumers.)

o Avoid the short types because on modern platforms using them
  results in larger and slower code.  Change shorts to ints as
  follows:

	- For variables than count simple, limited things like states,
	  use plain vanilla `int' as it's the type of choice in C.

	- For a limited number of bit flags use `unsigned' because signed
	  bit-wise operations are implementation-defined, i.e., unportable,
	  in C.

o For things that should be at least 64 bits wide, use long long
  and not int64_t, as the latter is an optional type.  See
  FTSENT.fts_number aka FTS.fts_bignum.  Extending fts_number `to
  satisfy future needs' is pointless because there is fts_pointer,
  which can be used to link to arbitrary data from an FTSENT.
  However, there already are fts(3) consumers that require fts_number,
  or fts_bignum, have at least 64 bits in it, so we must allow for them.

o For the tree depth, use `long'.  This is a trade-off between making
  this field too wide and allowing for 64-bit inode numbers and/or
  chain-mounted filesystems.  On the one hand, `long' is almost
  enough for 32-bit filesystems on a 32-bit platform (our ino_t is
  uint32_t now).  On the other hand, platforms with a 64-bit (or
  wider) `long' will be ready for 64-bit inode numbers, as well as
  for several 32-bit filesystems mounted one under another.  Note
  that fts_level has to be signed because -1 is a magic value for it,
  FTS_ROOTPARENTLEVEL.

o For the `nlinks' local var in fts_build(), use `long'.  The logic
  in fts_build() requires that `nlinks' be signed, but our nlink_t
  currently is uint16_t.  Therefore let's make the signed var wide
  enough to be able to represent 2^16-1 in pure C99, and even 2^32-1
  on a 64-bit platform.  Perhaps the logic should be changed just
  to use nlink_t, but it can be done later w/o breaking fts(3) ABI
  any more because `nlinks' is just a local var.

This commit also inludes supporting stuff for the fts change:

o Preserve the old versions of fts(3) functions through libc symbol
versioning because the old versions appeared in all our former releases.

o Bump __FreeBSD_version just in case.  There is a small chance that
some ill-written 3-rd party apps may fail to build or work correctly
if compiled after this change.

o Update the fts(3) manpage accordingly.  In particular, remove
references to fts_bignum, which was a FreeBSD-specific hack to work
around the too narrow types of FTSENT members.  Now fts_number is
at least 64 bits wide (long long) and fts_bignum is an undocumented
alias for fts_number kept around for compatibility reasons.  According
to Google Code Search, the only big consumers of fts_bignum are in
our own source tree, so they can be fixed easily to use fts_number.

o Mention the change in src/UPDATING.

This has the following benefits:
- allows to use the AT keyboard maps in share/syscons/keymaps with

- allows to use kbdmux(4) with sunkbd(4),
- allows Sun RS232 keyboards to be configured and used the same

the PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was broken
with the introduction of PCI domain support.
As the size of struct pci_conf_io wasn't changed with that commit,
this unfortunately requires the ABI of PCIOCGETCONF to be broken

55aaf894e8 Make the PCI code aware of PCI domains (aka PCI segments) so we can
support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains
and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the
devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

71498f308b Import rewrite of IPv4 socket multicast layer to support source-specific
and protocol-independent host mode multicast. The code is written to
accomodate IPv6, IGMPv3 and MLDv2 with only a little additional work.

This change only pertains to FreeBSD's use as a multicast end-station and
does not concern multicast routing; for an IGMPv3/MLDv2 router
implementation, consider the XORP project.

The work is based on Wilbert de Graaf's IGMPv3 code drop for FreeBSD 4.6,
which is available at: http://www.kloosterhof.com/wilbert/igmpv3.html

Summary
 * IPv4 multicast socket processing is now moved out of ip_output.c
   into a new module, in_mcast.c.
 * The in_mcast.c module implements the IPv4 legacy any-source API in
   terms of the protocol-independent source-specific API.
 * Source filters are lazy allocated as the common case does not use them.
   They are part of per inpcb state and are covered by the inpcb lock.
 * struct ip_mreqn is now supported to allow applications to specify
   multicast joins by interface index in the legacy IPv4 any-source API.
 * In UDP, an incoming multicast datagram only requires that the source
   port matches the 4-tuple if the socket was already bound by source port.
   An unbound socket SHOULD be able to receive multicasts sent from an
   ephemeral source port.
 * The UDP socket multicast filter mode defaults to exclusive, that is,
   sources present in the per-socket list will be blocked from delivery.
 * The RFC 3678 userland functions have been added to libc: setsourcefilter,
   getsourcefilter, setipv4sourcefilter, getipv4sourcefilter.
 * Definitions for IGMPv3 are merged but not yet used.
 * struct sockaddr_storage is now referenced from <netinet/in.h>. It
   is therefore defined there if not already declared in the same way
   as for the C99 types.
 * The RFC 1724 hack (specify 0.0.0.0/8 addresses to IP_MULTICAST_IF
   which are then interpreted as interface indexes) is now deprecated.
 * A patch for the Rhyolite.com routed in the FreeBSD base system
   is available in the -net archives. This only affects individuals
   running RIPv1 or RIPv2 via point-to-point and/or unnumbered interfaces.
 * Make IPv6 detach path similar to IPv4's in code flow; functionally same.
 * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700048; see UPDATING.

This work was financially supported by another FreeBSD committer.

9cd40e64b4 Now pam_nologin(8) will provide an account management function
instead of an authentication function.  There are a design reason
and a practical reason for that.  First, the module belongs in
account management because it checks availability of the account
and does no authentication.  Second, there are existing and potential
PAM consumers that skip PAM authentication for good or for bad.
E.g., sshd(8) just prefers internal routines for public key auth;
OTOH, cron(8) and atrun(8) do implicit authentication when running
a job on behalf of its owner, so their inability to use PAM auth
is fundamental, but they can benefit from PAM account management.

Document this change in the manpage.

Modify /etc/pam.d files accordingly, so that pam_nologin.so is listed
under the "account" function class.

Bump __FreeBSD_version (mostly for ports, as this change should be
invisible to C code outside pam_nologin.)

d092c06c3a Retire most of the classful network behaviour of netstat -r output, for IPv4.
Without -n, we now only print a "network name" without the prefix length
 under the following conditions:
  1) the network address and mask matches a classful network prefix;
  2) getnetbyaddr(3) returns a network name for this network address.

 With -n, we unconditionally print the full unabbreviated CIDR network
 prefix in the form "a.b.c.d/p". 0.0.0.0/0 is still printed as "default".

This change is in preparation for changes such as equal-cost multipath, and
to more generally assist operational deployment of FreeBSD as a modern IPv4
router. There are currently no plans to backport this change.

a580b31a54 Welcome to Once-a-year Sound Mega-Commit. Enjoy numerous updates and fixes
in every sense.

General
-------

- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
   * Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
     feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
     using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
     endian.
   * Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
     the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
   * Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
     but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.

- Low latency operation
  * Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
    but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
    channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
    combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
    SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
    to what commercial 4front driver do.
  * Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
    result long delay.
  * Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
    DIY:
      1) Download / extract
         http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz
      2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
         "for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
         - there should be no "perceivable" differences.
    Double close for PR kern/31445.

  CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
          written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter
	  by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most.
	  Fixup samples/patches can be found at:
	  http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ports/

- Switch minimum/maximum sampling rate limit to "1" and "2016000" (48k * 42)

- All driver specific sysctls in the form of "hw.snd.pcm%d.*" have been
  moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, notably:
  hw.snd.pcm%d.vchans -> dev.pcm.%d.vchans
  Bump __FreeBSD_version.

Driver specific
---------------

- Ditto for sysctls.

- snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_via8233, snd_hda
  * Numerous cleanups and fixes.
  * _EXPERIMENTAL_ polling mode support using simple callout_* mechanisme.
   This was intended for pure debugging and latency measurement, but proven
   good enough in few unexpected and rare cases (such as problematic shared
   IRQ with GIANT devices - USB). Polling can be enabled/disabled through
   dev.pcm.0.polling. Disabled by default.

- snd_ich
  * Fix possible overflow during speed calibration. Delay final
    initialization (pcm_setstatus) after calibration finished.

44a8277bc6 Updated the XBOX kernel to use the new nfe(4) driver obtained from
OpenBSD. This driver seems to give a small performance increase, and
should lead to better maintainability in the future.

The nForce Ethernet-specific hack in sys/i386/xbox/xbox.c is still
required, judging from dev/nfe/if_nfe.c. The condition it hacks will
almost certainly only occur on XBOX-es anyway, so it is best left there.

8d96e45531 Retire NETSMBCRYPTO as a kernel option and make its functionality
enabled by default in NETSMB and smbfs.ko.

With the most of modern SMB providers requiring encryption by
default, there is little sense left in keeping the crypto part
of NETSMB optional at the build time.

This will also return smbfs.ko to its former properties users
are rather accustomed to.

e2a3608153 Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
  - works in interactive (default) and batch mode
  - respects DISTDIR
  - documented in UPDATING and build(7)

The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.

Additionally add check-old target:
  - allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces

Design goals:
  - allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
  - possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
  - opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
  - seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)

Important design decissions:
  - structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
    * allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
      without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
      yet)
  - not using mtree like NetBSD does:
    * mtree doesn't has an interactive mode

7657f59596 - Remove the pccard_ifconfig variable in favor of a new
ifconfig_DEFAULT variable.  Unlike pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT
   applies to all interfaces that do not specify an ifconfig_<ifn>
   variable rather than just those listed in removable_interfaces.
 - Correct the list of interfaces when network_interfaces and
   removable_interfaces are both set by including removable_interfaces
   in the list of canidates.
 - When listing dhcp interfaces, include those with other ifconfig
   options so nat works.

bc9d299133 Change the definition of struct if_data's member ifi_epoch from wall
clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.

This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.  None are know to
exist today.  This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.

Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.
