stack modules.
It adds support for mangling symbols exported by a module by prepending
a string to them. (This avoids overlapping symbols in the kernel linker.)
It allows the use of a macro as the module name in the DECLARE_MACRO()
and MACRO_VERSION() macros.
It allows the code to register stack aliases (e.g. both a generic name
["default"] and version-specific name ["default_10_3p1"]).
With these changes, it is trivial to compile TCP stack modules with
the name defined in the Makefile and to load multiple versions of the
same stack simultaneously. This functionality can be used to enable
side-by-side testing of an old and new version of the same TCP stack.
It also could support upgrading the TCP stack without a reboot.

I'm currently working on writing a metrics exporter for the Prometheus
monitoring system to provide access to sysctl metrics. Prometheus and
sysctl have some structural differences:
- sysctl is a tree of string component names.
- Prometheus uses a flat namespace for its metrics, but allows you to
attach labels with values to them, so that you can do aggregation.
An initial version of my exporter simply translated
hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature
to
sysctl_hw_acpi_thermal_tz1_temperature_celcius
while we should ideally have
sysctl_hw_acpi_thermal_temperature_celcius{thermal_zone="tz1"}
allowing you to graph all thermal zones on a system in one go.
The change presented in this commit adds support for accomplishing this,
by providing the ability to attach labels to nodes. In the example I
gave above, the label "thermal_zone" would be attached to "tz1". As this
is a feature that will only be used very rarely, I decided to not change
the KPI too aggressively.

Idle page zeroing has been disabled by default on all architectures since
r170816 and has some bugs that make it seemingly unusable. Specifically,
the idle-priority pagezero thread exacerbates contention for the free page
lock, and yields the CPU without releasing it in non-preemptive kernels. The
pagezero thread also does not behave correctly when superpage reservations
are enabled: its target is a function of v_free_count, which includes
reserved-but-free pages, but it is only able to zero pages belonging to the
physical memory allocator.

Add a pair of bus methods that can be used to "map" resources for direct
CPU access using bus_space(9). bus_map_resource() creates a mapping and
bus_unmap_resource() releases a previously created mapping. Mappings are
described by 'struct resource_map' object. Pointers to these objects can
be passed as the first argument to the bus_space wrapper API used for bus
resources.
Drivers that wish to map all of a resource using default settings
(for example, using uncacheable memory attributes) do not need to change.
However, drivers that wish to use non-default settings can now do so
without jumping through hoops.
First, an RF_UNMAPPED flag is added to request that a resource is not
implicitly mapped with the default settings when it is activated. This
permits other activation steps (such as enabling I/O or memory decoding
in a device's PCI command register) to be taken without creating a
mapping. Right now the AGP drivers don't set RF_ACTIVE to avoid using
up a large amount of KVA to map the AGP aperture on 32-bit platforms.
Once RF_UNMAPPED is supported on all platforms that support AGP this
can be changed to using RF_UNMAPPED with RF_ACTIVE instead.
Second, bus_map_resource accepts an optional structure that defines
additional settings for a given mapping.
For example, a driver can now request to map only a subset of a resource
instead of the entire range. The AGP driver could also use this to only
map the first page of the aperture (IIRC, it calls pmap_mapdev() directly
to map the first page currently). I will also eventually change the
PCI-PCI bridge driver to request mappings of the subset of the I/O window
resource on its parent side to create mappings for child devices rather
than passing child resources directly up to nexus to be mapped. This
also permits bridges that do address translation to request suitable
mappings from a resource on the "upper" side of the bus when mapping
resources on the "lower" side of the bus.
Another attribute that can be specified is an alternate memory attribute
for memory-mapped resources. This can be used to request a
Write-Combining mapping of a PCI BAR in an MI fashion. (Currently the
drivers that do this call pmap_change_attr() directly for x86 only.)
Note that this commit only adds the MI framework. Each platform needs
to add support for handling RF_UNMAPPED and thew new
bus_map/unmap_resource methods. Generally speaking, any drivers that
are calling rman_set_bustag() and rman_set_bushandle() need to be
updated.

exhausted.
It is possible for a bug in the code (or, theoretically, even unusual
network conditions) to exhaust all possible mbufs or mbuf clusters.
When this occurs, things can grind to a halt fairly quickly. However,
we currently do not call mb_reclaim() unless the entire system is
experiencing a low-memory condition.
While it is best to try to prevent exhaustion of one of the mbuf zones,
it would also be useful to have a mechanism to attempt to recover from
these situations by freeing "expendable" mbufs.
This patch makes two changes:
a) The patch adds a generic API to the UMA zone allocator to set a
function that should be called when an allocation fails because the
zone limit has been reached. Because of the way this function can be
called, it really should do minimal work.
b) The patch uses this API to try to free mbufs when an allocation
fails from one of the mbuf zones because the zone limit has been
reached. The function schedules a callout to run mb_reclaim().

interface which is sufficient for most existing callers of proc_rwmem().
This change also adds a manual page for proc_rwmem() and the new functions.
