Make msgbuf_peekbytes() not return leading zeroes.

Introduce new MSGBUF_WRAP flag, indicating that buffer has wrapped
at least once and does not keep zeroes from the last msgbuf_clear().
It allows msgbuf_peekbytes() to return only real data, not requiring
every consumer to trim the leading zeroes after doing pointless copy.
The most visible effect is that kern.msgbuf sysctl now always returns
proper zero-terminated string, not only after the first buffer wrap.

Allow minidumps to be performed on the live system

Add a boolean parameter to minidumpsys(), to indicate a live dump. When
requested, take a snapshot of important global state, and pass this to
the machine-dependent minidump function. For now this includes the
kernel message buffer, and the bitset of pages to be dumped. Beyond
this, we don't take much action to protect the integrity of the dump
from changes in the running system.

A new function msgbuf_duplicate() is added for snapshotting the message
buffer. msgbuf_copy() is insufficient for this purpose since it marks
any new characters it finds as read.

For now, nothing can actually trigger a live minidump. A future patch
will add the mechanism for this. For simplicity and safety, live dumps
are disallowed for mips.

BOOT_TAG: Make a config(5) option, expose as sysctl and loader tunable

BOOT_TAG lived shortly in sys/msgbuf.h, but this wasn't necessarily great
for changing it or removing it. Move it into subr_prf.c and add options for
it to opt_printf.h.

One can specify both the BOOT_TAG and BOOT_TAG_SZ (really, size of the
buffer that holds the BOOT_TAG). We expose it as kern.boot_tag and also add
a loader tunable by the same name that we'll fetch upon initialization of
the msgbuf.

This allows for flexibility and also ensures that there's a consistent way
to figure out the boot tag of the running kernel, rather than relying on
headers to be in-sync.

kern: Add a BOOT_TAG marker at the beginning of boot dmesg

From the "newly licensed to drive" PR department, add a BOOT_TAG marker (by
default, --<<BOOT>>--, to the beginning of each boot's dmesg. This makes it
easier to do textproc magic to locate the start of each boot and, of
particular interest to some, the dmesg of the current boot.

The PR has a dmesg(8) component as well that I've opted not to include for
the moment- it was the more contentious part of this PR.

bde@ also made the statement that this boot tag should be written with an
ordinary printf, which I've- for the moment- declined to change about this
patch to keep it more transparent to observer of the boot process.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

Fix apparent garbage in the message buffer.

While we have had a fix in place (options PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=128) to fix
scrambled console output, the message buffer and syslog were still getting
log messages one character at a time. While all of the characters still
made it into the log (courtesy of atomic operations), they were often
interleaved when there were multiple threads writing to the buffer at the
same time.

This fixes message buffer accesses to use buffering logic as well, so that
strings that are less than PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE will be put into the message
buffer atomically. So now dmesg output should look the same as console
output.

subr_msgbuf.c: Convert most message buffer calls to use a new spin
lock instead of atomic variables in some places.

Add a new routine, msgbuf_addstr(), that adds a
NUL-terminated string to a message buffer. This
takes a priority argument, which allows us to
eliminate some races (at least in the the string
at a time case) that are present in the
implementation of msglogchar(). (dangling and
lastpri are static variables, and are subject to
races when multiple callers are present.)

msgbuf_addstr() also allows the caller to request
that carriage returns be stripped out of the
string. This matches the behavior of msglogchar(),
but in testing so far it doesn't appear that any
newlines are being stripped out. So the carriage
return removal functionality may be a candidate
for removal later on if further analysis shows
that it isn't necessary.

subr_prf.c: Add a new msglogstr() routine that calls
msgbuf_logstr().

Rename putcons() to putbuf(). This now handles
buffered output to the message log as well as
the console. Also, remove the logic in putcons()
(now putbuf()) that added a carriage return before
a newline. The console path was the only path that
needed it, and cnputc() (called by cnputs())
already adds a carriage return. So this
duplication resulted in kernel-generated console
output lines ending in '\r''\r''\n'.

Refactor putchar() to handle the new buffering
scheme.

Add buffering to log().

Change log_console() to use msglogstr() instead of
msglogchar(). Don't add extra newlines by default
in log_console(). Hide that behavior behind a
tunable/sysctl (kern.log_console_add_linefeed) for
those who would like the old behavior. The old
behavior led to the insertion of extra newlines
for log output for programs that print out a
string, and then a trailing newline on a separate
write. (This is visible with dmesg -a.)

msgbuf.h: Add a prototype for msgbuf_addstr().

Add three new fields to struct msgbuf, msg_needsnl,
msg_lastpri and msg_lock. The first two are needed
for log message functionality previously handled
by msglogchar(). (Which is still active if
buffering isn't enabled.)

Include sys/lock.h and sys/mutex.h for the new
mutex.

Normally msgbufp is locked using Giant. Switch it to use the

convert it to condvar(9).

In my opinion the locking around msgbuf_peekbytes() still remains
questionable. It looks like locks are dropped while performing copies of
multiple blocks to userspace, which may cause the msgbuf to be reset in
the mean time. At least getting it underneath from Giant should make it
a little easier for us to figure out how to solve that.

Backed out previous commit since it just causes panics unless a special
value for MSGBUF_SIZE is configured. MSGBUF_SIZE =
(32768 * bootverbose ? 2 : 1) is always 1 or 2, so there is not enough space
in the buffer for metadata, and blindly using the nonexistent space tends
to cause fatal pagefaults. I think
MSGBUF_SIZE = (32768 * (bootverbose ? 2 : 1)) would be always 32768 since
bootverbose is only statically initialized to 0 early when MSGBUF_SIZE is
used. MSGBUF_SIZE = (32768 * ((boothowto & RB_VERBOSE) ? 2 : 1)) should
work, but this belongs in <sys/msgbuf.h> even less than previous versions.
MSGBUF_SIZE shouldn't be a macro.

Replace the code for reading and writing the kernel message buffer
with a new implementation that has a mostly reentrant "addchar"
routine, supports multiple message buffers in the kernel, and hides
the implementation details from callers.

The new code uses a kind of sequence number to represend the current
read and write positions in the buffer. This approach (suggested
mainly by bde) permits the read and write pointers to be maintained
separately, which reduces the number of atomic operations that are
required. The "mostly reentrant" above refers to the way that while
it is now always safe to have any number of concurrent writers,
readers could see the message buffer after a writer has advanced
the pointers but before it has witten the new character.

Add a checksum to the kernel message buffer, and update it every
time a character is written. Use this at boot time to reject the
existing buffer contents if they are corrupt. This fixes a problem
seen on some hardware (especially laptops) where the message buffer
gets partially corrupted during a short power cycle or reset, but
the msgbuf structure is left intact so it gets reused, resulting
in random junk and control characters appearing in dmesg and
/var/log/messages.
