I know (or remember) enough assembly to handle x86 and powerpc. For
arm, mips and sparc64, implement fueword() and casueword() as wrappers
around fuword() and casuword(), which means that the functions cannot
distinguish between -1 and fault.
On architectures where fueword() and casueword() are native, implement
fuword() and casuword() using fueword() and casuword(), to reduce
assembly code duplication.

In the fdt data we've written for ourselves, the interrupt properties
for GIC interrupts have just been a bare interrupt number. In standard
data that conforms to the published bindings, GIC interrupt properties
contain 3-tuples that describe the interrupt as shared vs private, the
interrupt number within the shared/private address space, and configuration
info such as level vs edge triggered.
The new gic_decode_fdt() function parses both types of data, based on the
#interrupt-cells property. Previously, each platform implemented a decode
routine and put a pointer to it into fdt_pic_table. Now they can just
list this function in their table instead if they use arm/gic.c.

accept it or not. Use this mechanism to filter EABI arm on OABI arm
kernels, and vice versa. This method could also be used to implement
OABI on EABI arm kernels, if desired, or to allow a single mips kernel
to run o32, n32 and n64 binaries.

Stop using __FreeBSD_ARCH_armv6__ and switch to __ARM_ARCH >= 6 in the
couple of places in tree. clang already implements ACLE. Add a define
that says we implement version 1.1, even though the implementation
isn't quite complete.
The MD allocators were very common, however there were some minor
differencies. These differencies were all consolidated in the MI allocator,
under ifdefs. The defines from machine/vmparam.h turn on features required
for a particular machine. For details look in the comment in sys/sf_buf.h.
As result no MD code left in sys/*/*/vm_machdep.c. Some arches still have
machine/sf_buf.h, which is usually quite small.

don't need any #ifdef stuff to use atomic_load/store_64() elsewhere in
the kernel. For armv4 the atomics are trivial to implement for kernel
code (just disable interrupts), less so for user mode, so this only has
the kernel mode implementations for now.
value shared across multiple cores is with atomic_load_64() and
atomic_store_64(), because the normal 64-bit load/store instructions
are not atomic on 32-bit arm. Luckily the ldrexd/strexd instructions
that are atomic are fairly cheap on armv6. Because it's fairly simple
to do, this implements all the ops for 64-bit, not just load/store.

We have functions nested within functions, and places where we start a
function then never end it, we just jump to the middle of something else.
We tried to express this with nested ENTRY()/END() macros (which result
in .fnstart and .fnend directives), but it turns out there's no way to
express that nesting in ARM EHABI unwind info, and newer tools treat
multiple .fnstart directives without an intervening .fnend as an error.
These changes introduce two new macros, EENTRY() and EEND(). EENTRY()
creates a global label you can call/jump to just like ENTRY(), but it
doesn't emit a .fnstart. EEND() is a no-op that just documents the
conceptual endpoint that matches up with the same-named EENTRY().
This is based on patches submitted by Stepan Dyatkovskiy, but I made some
changes and added the EEND() stuff, so blame any problems on me.

handling. For statically linked apps this uses the __exidx_start/end
symbols set up by the linker. For dynamically linked apps it finds the
shared object that contains the given address and returns the location and
size of the exidx section in that shared object.
The dl_unwind_find_exidx() name is used by other BSD projects and Android,
and is mentioned in clang 3.5 comments as "the BSD interface" for finding
exidx data. GCC (in libgcc_s) expects the exact same API and functionality
to be provided by a function named __gnu_Unwind_Find_exidx(), so we provide
that with an alias ("strong reference").

memory ordering model allows writes to different devices to complete out
of order, leading to a situation where the write that clears an interrupt
source at a device can complete after a write that unmasks and EOIs the
interrupt at the interrupt controller, leading to a spurious re-interrupt.
This adds a generic barrier function specific to the needs of interrupt
controllers, and calls that function from the GIC and TI AINTC controllers.
There may still be other soc-specific controllers that need to make the call.

Here, "suitably endowed" means that the System Control Coprocessor
(#15) has Performance Monitoring Registers, including a CCNT (Cycle
Count) register.
The CCNT register is used in a way similar to the TSC register in
x86 processors by the get_cyclecount(9) function. The entropy-harvesting
thread is a heavy user of this function, and will benefit from not
having to call binuptime(9) instead.
One problem with the CCNT register is that it is 32-bit only, so
the upper 32-bits of the returned number are always 0. The entropy
harvester does not care, but in case any one else does, follow-up
work may include an interrup trap to increment an upper-32-bit
counter on CCNT overflow.
Another problem is that the CCNT register is not readable in user-mode
code; in can be made readable by userland, but then it is also
writable, and so is a good chunk of the PMU system. For that reason,
the CCNT is not enabled for user-mode access in this commit.
Like the x86, there is one CCNT per core, so they don't all run in
perfect sync.

On modern ARM SoCs the L2 cache controller sits between the CPU and the
AXI bus, and most on-chip memory-mapped devices are on the AXI bus. We
map the device registers using the 'Device' memory attribute, which means
the memory is not cached, but writes to it are buffered. Ensuring that a
write has made it all the way to a device may require that the L2
controller take some action.
There is currently only one implementation of the new function, for the
PL310 cache controller. It invokes a function that the controller
manual calls "cache sync" but it actually has nothing to do with cache at
all, it triggers a drain of all pending store buffer writes and it blocks
until they complete.
The sheeva and xscale L2 controllers (which predate the concept of Device
memory) don't seem to have a corresponding function. It appears that the
standard armv5 drain_writebuf function includes draining all the way
through the L2 controller.
This was added ca. 2004 for the purpose of ensuring the caches were in the
right state after the debugger set a breakpoint. kdb_cpu_sync_icache()
was added in 2007 to handle that situation, and now the wbinv_all is
actually harmful because the operation isn't broadcast to other cores.
using armv7_idcache_wbinv_all, because wbinv_all doesn't broadcast the
operation to other cores. In elf_cpu_load_file() use icache_sync_all()
and explain why it's needed (and why other sync operations aren't).
As part of doing this, all callers of cpu_icache_sync_all() were
inspected to ensure they weren't relying on the old side effect of
doing a wbinv_all along with the icache work.
* Save the required VFP registers on context switch. If the exception bit
is set we need to save and restore the FPINST register, and if the fp2v
bit is also set we need to save and restore FPINST2.
* Move saving and restoring the floating point control registers to C.
* Clear the fpexc exception and fp2v flags on a floating-point exception.
* Signal a SIGFPE if the fpexc exception flag is set on an undefined
instruction. This is how the ARM core signals to software there is a
floating-point exception.
