the "nbufkv" sleep.
First, ffs background cg group block write requests a new buffer for
the shadow copy. When ffs_bufwrite() is called from the bufdaemon due
to buffers shortage, requesting the buffer deadlock bufdaemon.
Introduce a new flag for getnewbuf(), GB_NOWAIT_BD, to request getblk
to not block while allocating the buffer, and return failure
instead. Add a flag argument to the geteblk to allow to pass the flags
to getblk(). Do not repeat the getnewbuf() call from geteblk if buffer
allocation failed and either GB_NOWAIT_BD is specified, or geteblk()
is called from bufdaemon (or its helper, see below). In
ffs_bufwrite(), fall back to synchronous cg block write if shadow
block allocation failed.
Since r107847, buffer write assumes that vnode owning the buffer is
locked. The second problem is that buffer cache may accumulate many
buffers belonging to limited number of vnodes. With such workload,
quite often threads that own the mentioned vnodes locks are trying to
read another block from the vnodes, and, due to buffer cache
exhaustion, are asking bufdaemon for help. Bufdaemon is unable to make
any substantial progress because the vnodes are locked.
Allow the threads owning vnode locks to help the bufdaemon by doing
the flush pass over the buffer cache before getnewbuf() is going to
uninterruptible sleep. Move the flushing code from buf_daemon() to new
helper function buf_do_flush(), that is called from getnewbuf(). The
number of buffers flushed by single call to buf_do_flush() from
getnewbuf() is limited by new sysctl vfs.flushbufqtarget. Prevent
recursive calls to buf_do_flush() by marking the bufdaemon and threads
that temporarily help bufdaemon by TDP_BUFNEED flag.

was introduced. If you have a bus, say cardbus, that is derived from
a base-bus (say PCI), then ordinarily all PCI drivers would attach to
cardbus devices. However, there had been one exception: kldload
wouldn't work.
The problem is in devclass_add_driver. In this routine, all we did
was call to the pci device's BUS_DRIVER_ADDED routine. However, since
cardbus bus instances had a different devclass, none of them were
called.
The solution is to call all subclass devclasses, recursively down the
tree, of the class that was loaded. Since we don't have a 'children
class' pointer, we search the whole list of devclasses for a class
whose parent matches. Since just done a kldload time, this isn't as
bad as it sounds. In addition, we short-circuit the whole process by
marking those classes with subclasses with a flag. We'll likely have
to reevaluate this method the number of devclasses with subclasses
gets large.
This means we can remove the "cardbus" lines from all the PCI drivers
since we have no cardbus specific attach device attachments in the
tree.

Just like the old TTY layer, the current MPSAFE TTY layer does not make
any attempt to serialize calls of write(). Data is copied into the
kernel in 256 (TTY_STACKBUF) byte chunks. If a write() call occurs at
the same time, the data may interleave. This is especially likely when
the TTY starts blocking, because the output queue reaches the high
watermark.
I've implemented this by adding a new flag, TTY_BUSY_OUT, which is used
to mark a TTY as having a thread stuck in write(). Because I don't want
non-blocking processes to be possibly blocked by a sleeping thread, I'm
still allowing it to bypass the protection. According to this message,
the Linux kernel returns EAGAIN in such cases, but I think that's a

A small race necessarily remains because the fork(2) might occur after

that appears unavoidable using current APIs. However, this race is
vastly narrower.
The fix can be validated using the newfileops_on_fork regression test.

Back in 1.1 of kern_sysctl.c the sysctl() routine wired the "old" userland
buffer for most sysctls (everything except kern.vnode.*). I think to prevent
issues with wiring too much memory it used a 'memlock' to serialize all
sysctl(2) invocations, meaning that only one user buffer could be wired at
a time. In 5.0 the 'memlock' was converted to an sx lock and renamed to
'sysctl lock'. However, it still only served the purpose of serializing
sysctls to avoid wiring too much memory and didn't actually protect the
sysctl tree as its name suggested. These changes expand the lock to actually
protect the tree.
Later on in 5.0, sysctl was changed to not wire buffers for requests by
default (sysctl_handle_opaque() will still wire buffers larger than a single
page, however). As a result, user buffers are no longer wired as often.
However, many sysctl handlers still wire user buffers, so it is still
desirable to serialize userland sysctl requests. Kernel sysctl requests
are allowed to run in parallel, however.

Right now we only have a very small amount of drivers that use clists,
but we still allocate 50 cblocks as slush space, which allows drivers to
temporarily overcommit their storage. Most of the drivers don't allow
this anyway.
I've performed the following changes:
- We don't allocate any cblocks on startup.
- I've removed the DDB command, because it has nothing useful to print
now. You can obtain the amount of allocated blocks by running `vmstat
-m | grep clist'.
- I've removed cfreecount, which is now unused.
- The old code first tries to allocate using M_NOWAIT, followed by
M_WAITOK. This doesn't make any sense, so just remove this logic. It
seems the drivers allow us to sleep anyway.
We can even remove ccmax from clist_alloc_cblocks and c_cbmax from
struct clist, but this breaks binary compatibility.
This reduces the amount of allocated cblocks on my system from 54 to 4.
The TTY buffers used the standard <sys/queue.h> lists. Unfortunately
they have a big shortcoming. If you want to have a double linked list,
but no tail pointer, it's still not possible to obtain the previous
element in the list. Inside the buffers we don't need them. This is why
I switched to custom linked list macros. The macros will also keep track
of the amount of items in the list. Because it doesn't use a sentinel,
we can just initialize the queues with zero.
In its simplest form (the output queue), we will only keep two
references to blocks in the queue, namely the head of the list and the
last block in use. All free blocks are stored behind the last block in
use.
I noticed there was a very subtle bug in the previous code: in a very
uncommon corner case, it would uma_zfree() a block in the queue before
calling memcpy() to extract the data from the block.
After running a `make buildkernel', I noticed most of the Giant locks in
sysctl are only caused by a very small amount of sysctl's:
- sysctl.name2oid. This one is locked by SYSCTL_LOCK, just like
sysctl.oidfmt.
- kern.ident, kern.osrelease, kern.version, etc. These are just constant
strings.
- kern.arandom, used by the stack protector. It is already protected by
arc4_mtx.
I also saw the following sysctl's show up. Not as often as the ones
above, but still quite often:
- security.jail.jailed. Also mark security.jail.list as MPSAFE. They
don't need locking or already use allprison_lock.
- kern.devname, used by devname(3), ttyname(3), etc.
This seems to reduce Giant locking inside sysctl by ~75% in my primitive
test setup.

an interpreter definition in its program header), set the auxiliary
ELF argument AT_BASE to 0 rather than to the address that we would
have mapped the interpreter at if there had been one.
The ELF ABI specifications appear to be ambiguous as to the desired
behavior in this situation, as they define AT_BASE as the base address
of the interpreter, but do not mention what to do if there is none.
On Solaris, AT_BASE will be set to the base address of the static
binary if there is no interpreter, and on Linux, AT_BASE is set to 0.
We go with the Linux semantics as they are of more immediate utility
and allow the early runtime environment to know that the kernel has
not mapped an interpreter, but because AT_PHDR points at the ELF
header for the running binary, it is still possible to retrieve all
required mapping information when the process starts should it be
required. Either approach would be preferable to our current behavior
of passing a pointer to an unmapped region of user memory as AT_BASE.

on SysV semaphores.
The squeeze of the semaphore array in the kern_semctl() modifies
sem_base for the semaphores with sem_base greater then sem_base of
the removed semaphore, as well as the values of the semaphores,
without locking their mutex. This can lead to (killable) hangs or
unexpected behaviour of the processes performing any sem operations
while other process does IPC_RMID.
The semexit_myhook() eventhandler unlocks SEMUNDO_LOCK() while
accessing *suptr. This allows for IPC_RMID for the sem id to be
performed in parallel with undo hook referenced by the current undo
structure. This leads to the panic("semexit - semid not allocated") [1].
The semaphore creation is protected by Giant, while IPC_RMID is done
while only semaphore mutex is held. This seems to result in invalid
values for semtot, causing random ENOSPC error returns [2].
Redo the locking of the semaphores lifetime cycle. Delegate the
sem_mtx to the sole purpose of protecting semget() and
semctl(IPC_RMID). Introduce new sem_undo_mtx to protect SEM_UNDO
handling. Remove the Giant remnants from the code.
Note that mac_sysvsem_check_semget() and mac_sysvsem_create() are
now called while sem_mtx is held, as well as mac_sysvsem_cleanup() [3].
When semaphore is removed, acquire semaphore locks for all semaphores
with sem_base that is going to be changed by squeeze of the sema
array. The lock order is not important there, because the region is
protected by sem_mtx.
Organize both used and free sem_undo structures into the lists,
protected by sem_undo_mtx. In semexit_myhook(), remove sem_undo
structure that is being processed, from used list, without putting it
onto the free to prevent modifications by other threads. This allows
for sem_undo_lock to be dropped to acquire individial semaphore locks
without violating lock order. Since IPC_RMID may no longer find this
sem_undo, do tolerate references to unallocated semaphores in undo
structure, and check sequential number to not undo unrelated semaphore
with the same id.
While there, convert functions definitions to ANSI C and fix small

In the existing code we didn't really enforce that callers hold Giant
before calling userland_sysctl(), even though there is no guarantee it
is safe. Fix this by just placing Giant locks around the call to the oid
handler. This also means we only pick up Giant for a very short period

accessible variable vm_guest that can be used where appropriate in the
kernel to inspect this environment.
To make it easier for the long run, an enum VM_GUEST is also introduced,
which could possibly be factored out in a header somewhere (but the
question is where - vm/vm_param.h? sys/param.h?) so it eventually becomes
a part of the standard KPI. In any case, it's a start.
The purpose of all this isn't to absolutely detect that the OS is running
under a virtual environment (cf. "redpill") but to allow the parts of the
kernel and the userland that care about this particular aspect and can do
something useful depending on it to have a standardised interface. Reducing
kern.hz is one example but there are other things that could be done like
avoiding context switches, not using CPU instructions that are known to be
slow in emulation, possibly different strategies in VM (memory) allocation,
CPU scheduling, etc.
It isn't clear if the JAILS/VIMAGE functionality should also be exposed
by this particular mechanism (probably not since they're not "full"
virtual hardware environments). Sometime in the future another sysctl and
a variable could be introduced to reflect if the kernel supports any kind
of virtual hosting (e.g. VMWare VMI, Xen dom0).
