- Do not try to steal load from other CPUs if there was no contest switches
on this CPU (i.e. it was idle all the time and woke up just for bus mastering
or TLB shutdown). If current CPU was idle, then it is quite unlikely that some
other CPU has load to steal. Under high I/O rate, when TLB shutdowns cause
numerous CPU wakeups, on 24-CPU system load stealing code may consume up to
25% of all CPU time without giving any benefits.
- Change code that implements spinning for load to restart spin in case of
context switch. Previous code periodically called cpu_idle() even under
high interrupt/context switch rate.
- Rise spinning threshold to 10KHz, where it gives at least some effect
that may worth consumed power.

Some hooks are added to clamp down maxusers and nmbclusters for
small address space systems.
VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_MAXUSERS - the max maxusers that will be autotuned based on
physical memory.
VM_MAX_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS - max nmbclusters based on physical memory.
These are set to the old values on i386 to preserve the clamping that was
being done to all arches.
Another macro VM_AUTOTUNE_NMBCLUSTERS is provided to allow an override
for the calculation on a MD basis. Currently no arch defines this.

to further reduce latency for threads in this queue. This should help
as threads transition from realtime to timeshare. The latency is
bound to a max of sched_slice until we have more than sched_slice / 6
threads runnable. Then the min slice is allotted to all threads and
latency becomes (nthreads - 1) * min_slice.

give rwlock(9) the ability to crunch different type of structures, with
the only constraint that they have a lock cookie named rw_lock.
This name, then, becames reserved from the struct that wants to use
the rwlock(9) KPI and other locking primitives cannot reuse it for
their members.
Namely such structs are the current struct rwlock and the new struct
rwlock_padalign. The new structure will define an object which has the
same layout of a struct rwlock but will be allocated in areas aligned
to the cache line size and will be as big as a cache line.

was still possible to open for write from the lower filesystem. There
is a symmetric situation where the binary could already has file
descriptors opened for write, but it can be executed from the nullfs
overlay.
Handle the issue by passing one v_writecount reference to the lower
vnode if nullfs vnode has non-zero v_writecount. Note that only one
write reference can be donated, since nullfs only keeps one use
reference on the lower vnode. Always use the lower vnode v_writecount
for the checks.
Introduce the VOP_GET_WRITECOUNT to read v_writecount, which is
currently always bypassed to the lower vnode, and VOP_ADD_WRITECOUNT
to manipulate the v_writecount value, which manages a single bypass
reference to the lower vnode. Caling the VOPs instead of directly
accessing v_writecount provide the fix described in the previous
paragraph.

This is supposed to give higher performance for highly contented mutexes

line contention results in too much traffic on the system bus.
The struct mtx_padalign can be used in a completely transparent way
with the mtx(9) KPI.
At the moment, a possibility to MFC the patch should be carefully
evaluated because this patch breaks the low level KPI

In the old TTY layer, SIGTTIN was correctly handled like this:
while (data should be read) {
send SIGTTIN if not foreground process group
read data
}
In the new TTY layer, however, this behaviour was changed, based on a
false interpretation of the standard:
send SIGTTIN if not foreground process group
while (data should be read) {
read data
}
Correct this by pushing tty_wait_background() into the ttydisc_read_*()
functions.

A default install on large memory machines with multiple 10gigE interfaces
were not being given enough mbufs to do full bandwidth TCP or NFS traffic.
To keep the value somewhat reasonable, we scale back the number of
maxuers by 1/6 past the 384 point. This gives us enough mbufs for most
of our pretty basic 10gigE line-speed tests to complete.
This enables CPU searches (which read tdq_load) to operate independently
of any contention on the spinlock. Some scheduler-intensive workloads
running on an 8C single-socket SNB Xeon show considerable improvement with
this change (2-3% perf improvement, 5-6% decrease in CPU util).
