VMM/VMD improvements

Updated vmm(4) to allow guests to read MSR_HWCR and MSR_PSTATEDEF, which is necessary to determine the TSC frequency on AMD families 17h and 19h. --- 213,218 ---- *************** *** 242,248 **** to SeaBIOS via the fw_cfg interface allowing it to properly communicate memory ranges to a guest operating system. With this special cases in ports can be removed. -
Added thread names to vm processes in vmd(8), visible in ps(1). --- 241,246 ---- *************** *** 250,272 **** href="https://man.openbsd.org/vmm.4">vmm(4) guests, preventing invalid instruction exceptions. Also added WAITPKG feature identification to i386 and amd64. -
Changed vmd(8) to only open /dev/vmm once, having the parent process send the fd to the vmm child process. !
Restricted vmm(4) exposed cpuid extended feature flags. !
Adjusted vmd(8) error paths to avoid removal of configuration-defined (known) VMs on error.
Stopped being paranoid about hypervisor correct PKU handling.
Added saving and restoring guest PKRU to vmm(4). Expose the PKU cpuid bit to the guest if in use on the host. !
Made vmd(8) scan the PCI bus to determine bootorder strings.

Various new userland features:

Added kdump(1) argument support for msyscall, pledge, unveil, __realpath, ypconnect and __tmpfd. --- 248,270 ---- href="https://man.openbsd.org/vmm.4">vmm(4) guests, preventing invalid instruction exceptions. Also added WAITPKG feature identification to i386 and amd64.

Various bugfixes and tweaks in userland:
- Allow TZ to contain absolute paths starting with /usr/share/zoneinfo. All absolute paths were ignored in 7.2 to avoid unveil(2) violations. --- 281,286 ---- *************** *** 323,329 **** libraries in parallel to netstart(8), as this does not depend on network access. -
- Made rc(8) print the name of each library before relinking as a signal to the operator that boot has not stalled. --- 320,325 ---- *************** *** 334,339 **** --- 330,336 ----
- Changed df(1) to round up fractional percentages. +
- Added the audioctl(8) -w option to display variables periodically. *************** *** 342,369 **** and --preserve-status.
  Added signal as a full argument name for timeout(1) -s. -
- Fixed .wav files generated by aucat(1) by using extended header format.
- In disklabel(8), use the size of the largest chunk of free space, not the total of all such chunks, when checking for sufficient space to add a partition. -
- Fixed unbounded variable expansion in pkg-config(1). -
- Switched to use llvm-strip(1) on - architectures that use ld.lld(1).
- Extended disklabel(8) template parsing to allow "[mount point] *" as the specification for putting the maximum available free space into a partition, and extended command line parsing to allow "T-" as the specification to read the template from stdin. -
- Fixed a number of out of bounds reads in DNS response parsing.
Improved hardware support and driver bugfixes, including: --- 339,368 ---- and --preserve-status.

Improved hardware support and driver bugfixes, including: *************** *** 952,972 ****

Used stravis(3) to sanitize redirect URIs from ftp(1) fetch before printing.

Prevent an unwind(8) crash when a TCP query is larger than the length field indicated. -

Preserve the original order of nameservers as configured via resolv.conf(5) in resolvd(8). -

Restrict the characters allowed in the hostname argument of getaddrinfo(3) to the set [A-z0-9-_.]. Additionally two consecutive dots ('.') are not allowed nor can the string start with - or '.'. This removes characters like '$', '`', '\n' or '*' that can traverse the DNS without problems, but have special meaning, for example a shell. !

Added ifconfig(8) -M (mac) to find the mac address on an interface and print it. --- 951,971 ----
