- Delete the per-entry lock, and borrow the associated vnode's v_interlock
instead. We need to acquire it during lookup anyway. We can revisit this
in the future but for now it's a stepping stone, and works within the
quite limited context of what we have (BSD namecache/lookup design).
- Implement an idea that Mateusz Guzik (mjg@FreeBSD.org) gave me. In
cache_reclaim(), we don't need to lock out all of the CPUs to garbage
collect entries. All we need to do is observe their locks unheld at least
once: then we know they are not in the critical section, and no longer
have visibility of the entries about to be garbage collected.
- The above makes it safe for sysctl to take only namecache_lock to get stats,
and we can remove all the crap dealing with per-CPU locks.
- For lockstat, make namecache_lock a static now we have __cacheline_aligned.
- Avoid false sharing - don't write back to nc_hittime unless it has changed.
Put a a comment in place explaining this. Pretty sure this was there in
2008/2009 but someone removed it (understandably, the code looks weird).
- Use a mutex to protect the garbage collection queue instead of atomics, and
adjust the low water mark up so that cache_reclaim() isn't doing so much
work at once.
- Adapt to cpu_need_resched() changes. Avoid lost & duplicate IPIs and ASTs.
sched_resched_cpu() and sched_resched_lwp() contain the logic for this.
- Changes for LSIDL to make the locking scheme match the intended design.
- Reduce lock contention and false sharing further.
- Numerous small bugfixes, including some corrections for SCHED_FIFO/RT.
- Use setrunnable() in more places, and merge cut & pasted code.
Remove const from the 2nd argument.
const char ** and char ** are incompatible types and it was a cost to keep
the technically incompatible form for a more purist variation. NetBSD was
almost the last alive OS to still keep the const argument (known leftovers:
Minix and Illumos).
Keep the const form for the internal purposes inside citrus and rump.
Address the build breakage fallout in the same change.
There are no ABI changes.
Change accepted by core@.
GCC_NO_FORMAT_TRUNCATION -Wno-format-truncation (GCC 7/8)
GCC_NO_STRINGOP_TRUNCATION -Wno-stringop-truncation (GCC 8)

use these to turn off warnings for most GCC-8 complaints. many
of these are false positives, most of the real bugs are already
commited, or are yet to come.
we plan to introduce versions of (some?) of these that use the
"-Wno-error=" form, which still displays the warnings but does
not make it an error, and all of the above will be re-considered
as either being "fix me" (warning still displayed) or "warning
is wrong."

Benefits:
- larger seeds -- a 128-bit key alone is not enough for `128-bit security'
- better resistance to timing side channels than AES
- a better-understood security story (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/349)
- no loss in compliance with US government standards that nobody ever
got fired for choosing, at least in the US-dominated western world
- no dirty endianness tricks
- self-tests
Drawbacks:
- performance hit: throughput is reduced to about 1/3 in naive measurements
=> possible to mitigate by using hardware SHA-256 instructions
=> all you really need is 32 bytes to seed a userland PRNG anyway
=> if we just used ChaCha this would go away...

- Add support for dynamic NETMAP algorithm (stateful net-to-net).
- Add most of the support for the dynamic NAT rules; a little bit more
userland work is needed to finish this up and enable.
- Replace 'stateful-ends' with more permissive 'stateful-all'.
- Add various tunable parameters and document them, see npf-params(7).
- Reduce the memory usage of the connection state table (conndb).
- Portmap rewrite: use memory more efficiently, handle addresses dynamically.
- Bug fix: add splsoftnet()/splx() around the thmap writers and comment.
- npftest: clean up and simplify; fix some memleaks to make ASAN happy.
allowing -lrump to be used without -lrumpvfs.
This is an alternate fix to the earluer one which added -lrumvfs to
many rump based tests (and the rump server) which might be undone soon.
This also fixes the sun2 build.
It is yet another psref leak detector that enables to tell where a leak occurs
while a simpler version that is already committed just tells an occurrence of a
leak.
Investigating of psref leaks is hard because once a leak occurs a percpu list of
psref that tracks references can be corrupted. A reference to a tracking object
is memorized in the list via an intermediate object (struct psref) that is
normally allocated on a stack of a thread. Thus, the intermediate object can be
overwritten on a leak resulting in corruption of the list.
The tracker makes a shadow entry to an intermediate object and stores some hints
into it (currently it's a caller address of psref_acquire). We can detect a
leak by checking the entries on certain points where any references should be
released such as the return point of syscalls and the end of each softint
handler.
The feature is expensive and enabled only if the kernel is built with
PSREF_DEBUG.
Proposed on tech-kern
rumpdev to rumpkern, liberating all rumpnet users from the need to
-lrumpdev -lrumpvfs just because a loopback interface is mandatory.
Rename rumpdev/autoconf.c to rumpkern/rump_autoconf.c to avoid
accidentally picking up e.g. sys/arch/amd64/amd64/autoconf.c through
make's .PATH.
Move rumpdev/MAINBUS.ioconf to rumpkern.
- Interrupt-oriented system rather than thread-oriented.
- Improve stability, quality and performance.
- Split playback and record cleanly. Improve halfduplex support.
- Many bugs are fixed including deadlocks, resource leaks, abuses, etc.
- Simplify audio filter mechanism. The encoding/channels/frequency
conversions are completely handled in the upper layer. So the hard-
ware driver only converts its hardware encoding (if necessary).
- audio_hw_if changes:
- Obsoletes query_encoding and add query_format instead.
- Obsoletes set_params and add set_format instead.
- Remove drain, setfd, mappage.
- The call sequences are changed.
- ioctl AUDIO_GETFD/SETFD, AUDIO_GETCHAN/SETCHAN are obsoleted.
- ioctl AUDIO_{QUERY,GET,SET}FORMAT are introduced.
- cleanup config attributes: au*conv and mulaw.
- All hardware drivers should follow it (I've done as much as possible).
Some file paths are changed:
- dev/audio.c -> dev/audio/audio.c (rewritten)
- dev/audiovar.h -> dev/audio/audiovar.h
- dev/audio_dai.h -> dev/audio/audio_dai.h
- dev/audio_if.h -> dev/audio/audio_if.h
- dev/audiobell.c -> dev/audio/audiobell.c
- dev/audiobellvar.h -> dev/audio/audiobellvar.h
- dev/mulaw.[ch] -> dev/audio/mulaw.[ch] + dev/audio/alaw.c
- Defer spa_config_load() until root is mounted.
- Restore the config path to "/etc/zfs/zpool.cache".
- Module "zfs" is type MODULE_CLASS_VFS and no longer depends on "rootvnode".
- Module "solaris" no longer depends on "mp_online".
- Fix rump component registration to not detach "/dev/zfs" if
it didn't attach it.
It detects leaks by counting up the number of held psref by an LWP and checking
its zeroness at the end of syscalls and softint handlers. For the counter, a
unused field of struct lwp is reused.
The detector runs only if DIAGNOSTIC is turned on.
userspace. The old fetch(9) and store(9) APIs (fubyte(), fuword(),
subyte(), suword(), etc.) are retired and replaced with new ufetch(9)
and ustore(9) APIs that can return proper error codes, etc. and are
implemented consistently across all platforms. The interrupt-safe
variants are no longer supported (and several of the existing attempts
at fuswintr(), etc. were buggy and not actually interrupt-safe).
Also augmement the ucas(9) API, making it consistently available on
all plaforms, supporting uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems, even
those that do not have CAS or LL/SC primitives.
Welcome to NetBSD 8.99.37.
valid "mnt_transinfo" and remove now unneeded flag IMNT_HAS_TRANS.
Run fstrans_start()/fstrans_done() on dead_rootmount if FSTRANS_DEAD_ENABLED.
Should become the default for DIAGNOSTIC in the future.
