The benefits of the change are:
- We can reduce codes
- We can provide the same behavior between drivers
- Where/When if_ipackets is counted up
- Note that some drivers still update packet statistics in their own
way (periodical update)
- Moved bpf_mtap run in softint
- This makes it easy to MP-ify bpf
Proposed on tech-kern and tech-net
The API is used to set (or reset) a received interface of a mbuf.
They are counterpart of m_get_rcvif, which will come in another
commit, hide internal of rcvif operation, and reduce the diff of
the upcoming change.
No functional change.
This change intends to run the whole network stack in softint context
(or normal LWP), not hardware interrupt context. Note that the work is
still incomplete by this change; to that end, we also have to softint-ify
if_link_state_change (and bpf) which can still run in hardware interrupt.
This change softint-ifies at ifp->if_input that is called from
each device driver (and ieee80211_input) to ensure Layer 2 runs
in softint (e.g., ether_input and bridge_input). To this end,
we provide a framework (called percpuq) that utlizes softint(9)
and percpu ifqueues. With this patch, rxintr of most drivers just
queues received packets and schedules a softint, and the softint
dequeues packets and does rest packet processing.
To minimize changes to each driver, percpuq is allocated in struct
ifnet for now and that is initialized by default (in if_attach).
We probably have to move percpuq to softc of each driver, but it's
future work. At this point, only wm(4) has percpuq in its softc
as a reference implementation.

Thank you very much!
config(1)/config(5) can't handle module dependency correctly at this
moment.
(This is another proof that shared file definition (`file xxx.c a|b')
is a bad idea.)
As Masao Uebayashi pointed to me, UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART, LFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
and UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOCREATE are not used anywhere in the code. Remove them
as they have been obsolete for a long time:
UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART was replaced by mount -o extattr
LFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART was created to match obsolete UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART
UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOCREATE was replaced by sysctl vfs.ffs.extattr_autocreate
This change just brings UFS1 extended attribute *support* in the kernel,
extended attributes are not enabled unless three conditions are met:
1) filesystem is UFS1 (newfs -O1)
2) .attribute/system and .attribute/user directories are created at fs root
3) filesystem is mounted with -o extattr
Some GENERIC kernels are obviously memory constrained, the extended
attributes options were not enabled for them, but just added commented out.
(kernel were considered memory constrained if QUOTA option was disabled)
There are quite a few configs that are missing some COMPAT_NN options
in ways that don't make sense; this should probably get cleaned up
too, but for the time being I've not added or removed anything.
designated initializers.
I have not built every extant kernel so I have probably broken at
least one build; however I've also found and fixed some wrong
cdevsw/bdevsw entries so even if so I think we come out ahead.
1) Move core entropy-pool code and source/sink/sample management code
to sys/kern from sys/dev.
2) Remove use of NRND as test for presence of entropy-pool code throughout
source tree.
3) Remove use of RND_ENABLED in device drivers as microoptimization to
avoid expensive operations on disabled entropy sources; make the
rnd_add calls do this directly so all callers benefit.
4) Fix bug in recent rnd_add_data()/rnd_add_uint32() changes that might
have lead to slight entropy overestimation for some sources.
5) Add new source types for environmental sensors, power sensors, VM
system events, and skew between clocks, with a sample implementation
for each.
ok releng to go in before the branch due to the difficulty of later
pullup (widespread #ifdef removal and moved files). Tested with release
builds on amd64 and evbarm and live testing on amd64.
Require __HAVE_TLS_VARIANT_I or __HAVE_TLS_VARIANT_II as well as
__lwp_getprivate_fast / __lwp_gettcb_fast to exist for libpthread.
Define VAX as going to use TLS variant I, if it is ever implemented.
