When I pushed down the page queues lock into pmap_is_modified(), I created
an ordering dependence: A pmap operation that clears PG_WRITEABLE and calls
vm_page_dirty() must perform the call first. Otherwise, pmap_is_modified()
could return FALSE without acquiring the page queues lock because the page
is not (currently) writeable, and the caller to pmap_is_modified() might
believe that the page's dirty field is clear because it has not seen the
effect of the vm_page_dirty() call.
When I pushed down the page queues lock into pmap_is_modified(), I
overlooked one place where this ordering dependence is violated:
pmap_enter(). In a rare situation pmap_enter() can be called to replace a
dirty mapping to one page with a mapping to another page. (I say rare
because replacements generally occur as a result of a copy-on-write fault,
and so the old page is not dirty.) This change delays clearing PG_WRITEABLE
until after vm_page_dirty() has been called.
Fixing the ordering dependency also makes it easy to introduce a small
optimization: When pmap_enter() used to replace a mapping to one page with a
mapping to another page, it freed the pv entry for the first mapping and
later called the pv entry allocator for the new mapping. Now, pmap_enter()
attempts to recycle the old pv entry, saving two calls to the pv entry
allocator.
There is no point in setting PG_WRITEABLE on unmanaged pages, so don't.
If disk was missing on pool load or import and on next pool load or import
it was present, resilver wasn't started automatically and ZFS reported all disks
as ONLINE and healthy. Then, when another disk died, pool became unaccessible,
because if it was 2-way mirror or RAIDZ1 two vdevs were out of sync.
To fix the problem, start resilver automatically on pool load or import.

Example (in interactive mode):
cat <<EOF && )
The next command typed caused sh to segfault, because the state for the here
document was not reset.
Like parser_temp, this uses the fact that the parser is not re-entered.
If a command substitution contains a newline token, this no longer starts
here documents of outer commands. This way, we follow POSIX's idea of the
command substitution being a separate script more closely. It also matches
other shells better and is consistent with newline characters in quotes not
starting here documents.
The extension tested in parser/heredoc3.0 ($(cat <<EOF)\ntext\nEOF\n)
continues to be supported.
In particular, this change allows things like
cat <<EOF && echo `pwd`
(a `` command substitution after a here document)
which formerly silently used an empty file as the here document, because the
EOF of the inner command "pwd" also forced an empty here document.

Retire PMAP_DIAGNOSTIC. Any useful diagnostics that were conditionally
compiled under PMAP_DIAGNOSTIC are now KASSERT()s. (Note: The kernel
option DIAGNOSTIC still disables inlining of certain pmap functions.)
Eliminate dead code from pmap_enter(). This code implemented an assertion.
On i386, an equivalent check is already implemented. However, on amd64,
a small change is required to implement an equivalent check.
Eliminate \n from a nearby panic string.
Use KASSERT() to reimplement pmap_copy()'s two assertions.
Merge portions of r177659
To date, we have assumed that the TLB will only set the PG_M bit in a
PTE if that PTE has the PG_RW bit set. However, this assumption does
not hold on recent processors from Intel. For example, consider a PTE
that has the PG_RW bit set but the PG_M bit clear. Suppose this PTE
is cached in the TLB and later the PG_RW bit is cleared in the PTE,
but the corresponding TLB entry is not (yet) invalidated.
Historically, upon a write access using this (stale) TLB entry, the
TLB would observe that the PG_RW bit had been cleared and initiate a
page fault, aborting the setting of the PG_M bit in the PTE. Now,
however, P4- and Core2-family processors will set the PG_M bit before
observing that the PG_RW bit is clear and initiating a page fault. In
other words, the write does not occur but the PG_M bit is still set.
The real impact of this difference is not that great. Specifically,
we should no longer assert that any PTE with the PG_M bit set must
also have the PG_RW bit set, and we should ignore the state of the
PG_M bit unless the PG_RW bit is set.

Tidy up the variable declarations at the start of pmap_enter().
- Add an integer argument to idle to indicate how likely we are to wake
from idle over the next tick.
- Add a new MD routine, cpu_wake_idle() to wakeup idle threads who are
suspended in cpu specific states. This function can fail and cause the
scheduler to fall back to another mechanism (ipi).
- Implement support for mwait in cpu_idle() on i386/amd64 machines that
support it. mwait is a higher performance way to synchronize cpus
as compared to hlt & ipis.
- Allow selecting the idle routine by name via sysctl machdep.idle. This
replaces machdep.cpu_idle_hlt. Only idle routines supported by the
current machine are permitted.
Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for
certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other
implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or
avoid operands starting with "-".
Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space,
and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only
take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec,
avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH
search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition
of "--" for them.
We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and
exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid
anyway).
ta_func may free the task structure, so no references to its members
are valid after the handler has been called. Using a per-queue member
and having waits longer than strictly necessary was suggested by jhb.
