patm(4) devices.
Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make
infrastructure improvements. In the case of NATM we support no devices
manufactured in the last 20 years and some will not even work in modern
motherboards (some newer devices that patm(4) could be updated to
support apparently exist, but we do not currently have support).
With this change, support remains for some netgraph modules that don't
require NATM support code. It is unclear if all these should remain,
though ng_atmllc certainly stands alone.
Note well: FreeBSD 11 supports NATM and will continue to do so until at
least September 30, 2021. Improvements to the code in FreeBSD 11 are
certainly welcome.

The goal of this work is to remove the explicit dependency for ctl(4)

instrument security event auditing rather than relying on conventional BSM
trail files or audit pipes:
- Add a set of per-event 'commit' probes, which provide access to
particular auditable events at the time of commit in system-call return.
These probes gain access to audit data via the in-kernel audit_record
data structure, providing convenient access to system-call arguments and
return values in a single probe.
- Add a set of per-event 'bsm' probes, which provide access to particular
auditable events at the time of BSM record generation in the audit
worker thread. These probes have access to the in-kernel audit_record
data structure and BSM representation as would be written to a trail
file or audit pipe -- i.e., asynchronously in the audit worker thread.
DTrace probe arguments consist of the name of the audit event (to support
future mechanisms of instrumenting multiple events via a single probe --
e.g., using classes), a pointer to the in-kernel audit record, and an
optional pointer to the BSM data and its length. For human convenience,
upper-case audit event names (AUE_...) are converted to lower case in
DTrace.
DTrace scripts can now cause additional audit-based data to be collected
on system calls, and inspect internal and BSM representations of the data.
They do not affect data captured in the audit trail or audit pipes
configured in the system. auditd(8) must be configured and running in
order to provide a database of event information, as well as other audit
configuration parameters (e.g., to capture command-line arguments or

optimization.
This fixes building with gcc-4.2.1 (it doesn't support SSE4).
gas-2.17.50 [FreeBSD] supports SSE4 instructions, so this doesn't
need using .byte directives.
This fixes depending on host user headers in the kernel.
Fix user includes (don't depend on namespace pollution in <nmmintrin.h>
that is not included now).
The instrinsics had no advantages except to sometimes avoid compiler
pessimixations. clang understands them a bit better than inline asm,
and generates better looking code which also runs better for cem, but
for me it just at the same speed or slower by doing excessive
unrollowing in all the wrong places. gcc-4.2.1 also doesn't understand
what it is doing with unrolling, but with -O3 somehow it does more
unrolling that helps.
Reduce 1 of the the compiler pessimizations (copying a variable which
already satisfies an "rm" constraint in a good way by being in memory
and not used again, to different memory and accessing it there. Force
copying it to a register instead).
Try to optimize the inner loops significantly, so as to run at full
speed on smaller inputs. The algorithm is already very MD, and was
tuned for the throughput of 3 crc32 instructions per cycle found on
at least Sandybridge through Haswell. Now it is even more tuned for
this, so depends more on the compiler not rearranging or unrolling
things too much. The main inner loop for should have no difficulty
runing at full speed on these CPUs unless the compiler unrolls it too
much. However, the main inner loop wasn't even used for buffers smaller
than 24K. Now it is used for buffers larger than 384 bytes. Now it
is not so long, and the main outer loop is used more. The new
optimization is to try to arrange that the outer loop runs in parallel
with the next inner loop except for the final iteration; then reduce
the loop sizes significantly to take advantage of this.

the default partition, eMMC v4.41 and later devices can additionally
provide up to:
1 enhanced user data area partition
2 boot partitions
1 RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block) partition
4 general purpose partitions (optionally with a enhanced or extended
attribute)
Of these "partitions", only the enhanced user data area one actually
slices the user data area partition and, thus, gets handled with the
help of geom_flashmap(4). The other types of partitions have address
space independent from the default partition and need to be switched
to via CMD6 (SWITCH), i. e. constitute a set of additional "disks".
The second kind of these "partitions" doesn't fit that well into the
design of mmc(4) and mmcsd(4). I've decided to let mmcsd(4) hook all
of these "partitions" up as disk(9)'s (except for the RPMB partition
as it didn't seem to make much sense to be able to put a file-system
there and may require authentication; therefore, RPMB partitions are
solely accessible via the newly added IOCTL interface currently; see
also below). This approach for one resulted in cleaner code. Second,
it retains the notion of mmcsd(4) children corresponding to a single
physical device each. With the addition of some layering violations,
it also would have been possible for mmc(4) to add separate mmcsd(4)
instances with one disk each for all of these "partitions", however.
Still, both mmc(4) and mmcsd(4) share some common code now e. g. for
issuing CMD6, which has been factored out into mmc_subr.c.
Besides simply subdividing eMMC devices, some Intel NUCs having UEFI
code in the boot partitions etc., another use case for the partition
support is the activation of pseudo-SLC mode, which manufacturers of
eMMC chips typically associate with the enhanced user data area and/
or the enhanced attribute of general purpose partitions.
CAVEAT EMPTOR: Partitioning eMMC devices is a one-time operation.
- Now that properly issuing CMD6 is crucial (so data isn't written to
the wrong partition for example), make a step into the direction of
correctly handling the timeout for these commands in the MMC layer.
Also, do a SEND_STATUS when CMD6 is invoked with an R1B response as
recommended by relevant specifications. However, quite some work is
left to be done in this regard; all other R1B-type commands done by
the MMC layer also should be followed by a SEND_STATUS (CMD13), the
erase timeout calculations/handling as documented in specifications
are entirely ignored so far, the MMC layer doesn't provide timeouts
applicable up to the bridge drivers and at least sdhci(4) currently
is hardcoding 1 s as timeout for all command types unconditionally.
Let alone already available return codes often not being checked in
the MMC layer ...
- Add an IOCTL interface to mmcsd(4); this is sufficiently compatible
with Linux so that the GNU mmc-utils can be ported to and used with
FreeBSD (note that due to the remaining deficiencies outlined above
SANITIZE operations issued by/with `mmc` currently most likely will
fail). These latter will be added to ports as sysutils/mmc-utils in
a bit. Among others, the `mmc` tool of the GNU mmc-utils allows for
partitioning eMMC devices (tested working).
- For devices following the eMMC specification v4.41 or later, year 0
is 2013 rather than 1997; so correct this for assembling the device
ID string properly.
- Let mmcsd.ko depend on mmc.ko. Additionally, bump MMC_VERSION as at
least for some of the above a matching pair is required.
- In the ACPI front-end of sdhci(4) describe the Intel eMMC and SDXC
controllers as such in order to match the PCI one.
Additionally, in the entry for the 80860F14 SDXC controller remove
