In Linux, ksize() gets the actual amount of memory allocated for a given
object. This commit adds malloc_usable_size() to FreeBSD KPI which does
the same. It also maps LinuxKPI ksize() to newly created function.
ksize() function is used by drm-kmod.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

This is a 32-bit structure embedded in each vm_page, consisting mostly
of page queue state. The use of a structure makes it easy to store a
snapshot of a page's queue state in a stack variable and use cmpset
loops to update that state without requiring the page lock.
This change merely adds the structure and updates references to atomic
state fields. No functional change intended.

memguard(9) wants to avoid reuse of freed addresses for as long as
possible. Previously it maintained a racily updated cursor which was
passed to vmem_xalloc(9) as the minimum address. However, vmem will
not in general return the lowest free address in the arena, so this
trick only really works until the cursor has wrapped around the first
time.

The arena argument to kmem_*() is now only used in an assert. A follow-up
commit will remove the argument altogether before we freeze the API for the
next release.
This replaces the hard limit on kmem size with a soft limit imposed by UMA. When
the soft limit is exceeded we periodically wakeup the UMA reclaim thread to
attempt to shrink KVA. On 32bit architectures this should behave much more
gracefully as we exhaust KVA. On 64bit the limits are likely never hit.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier
sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for
procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros,
using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a
C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier
when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

additional information, when the page is guaranteed to not belong to a
paging queue. Usually, this results in a lot of type casts which make
reasoning about the code correctness harder.
Sometimes m->object is used instead of pageq, which could cause real
and confusing bugs if non-NULL m->object is leaked. See r141955 and
r253140 for examples.
Change the pageq member into a union containing explicitly-typed
members. Use them instead of type-punning or abusing m->object in x86
pmaps, uma and vm_page_alloc_contig().

VM_KMEM_MAX_SIZE.
The code was not taking into account the size of the kernel_map, which
the kmem_map is allocated from, so it could produce a sub-map size too
large to fit. The simplest solution is to ignore VM_KMEM_MAX entirely
and base the memguard map's size off the kernel_map's size, since this
is always relevant and always smaller.

an unused pageq queue reference in the page structure to stash a pointer
to the MemGuard FIFO. Using the page->object field caused problems
because when vm_map_protect() was called the second time to set
VM_PROT_DEFAULT back onto a set of pages in memguard_map, the protection
in the VM would be changed but the PMAP code would lazily not restore
the PG_RW bit on the underlying pages right away (see pmap_protect()).
So when a page fault finally occured and the VM noticed the faulting
address corresponds to a page that _does_ have write access now, it
would then call into PMAP to set back PG_RW (i386 case being discussed
here). However, before it got to do that, an assertion on the object
lock not being owned would get triggered, as the object of the faulting
page would need to be locked but was overloaded by MemGuard. This is
precisely why MemGuard cannot overload page->object.

a little bit of complexity but performance requirements lacking (this is
a debugging allocator after all), it's really not too bad (still
only 317 lines).
Also add an additional check to help catch really weird 3-threads-involved
races: make memguard_free() write to the first page handed back, always,
before it does anything else.
Note that there is still a problem in VM+PMAP (specifically with
vm_map_protect) w.r.t. MemGuard uses it, but this will be fixed shortly
and this change stands on its own.
designed to help detect tamper-after-free scenarios, a problem more
and more common and likely with multithreaded kernels where race
conditions are more prevalent.
Currently MemGuard can only take over malloc()/realloc()/free() for
particular (a) malloc type(s) and the code brought in with this
change manually instruments it to take over M_SUBPROC allocations
as an example. If you are planning to use it, for now you must:
1) Put "options DEBUG_MEMGUARD" in your kernel config.
2) Edit src/sys/kern/kern_malloc.c manually, look for
"XXX CHANGEME" and replace the M_SUBPROC comparison with
the appropriate malloc type (this might require additional
but small/simple code modification if, say, the malloc type
is declared out of scope).
3) Build and install your kernel. Tune vm.memguard_divisor
boot-time tunable which is used to scale how much of kmem_map
you want to allott for MemGuard's use. The default is 10,
so kmem_size/10.
ToDo:
1) Bring in a memguard(9) man page.
2) Better instrumentation (e.g., boot-time) of MemGuard taking
over malloc types.
3) Teach UMA about MemGuard to allow MemGuard to override zone
allocations too.
4) Improve MemGuard if necessary.
This work is partly based on some old patches from Ian Dowse.
