- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
to nesting level 0. This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
cpu_critical_enter/exit. MI code such as device drivers and spin
mutexes use the MI wrappers. Note that since the MI wrappers store
the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().
Tested on: i386, alpha
- The MI portions of struct globaldata have been consolidated into a MI
struct pcpu. The MD per-CPU data are specified via a macro defined in
machine/pcpu.h. A macro was chosen over a struct mdpcpu so that the
interface would be cleaner (PCPU_GET(my_md_field) vs.
PCPU_GET(md.md_my_md_field)).
- All references to globaldata are changed to pcpu instead. In a UP kernel,
this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name
came from. In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each
CPU outside of the context of debuggers. This also included combining
machine/globaldata.h and machine/globals.h into machine/pcpu.h.
- The pointer to the thread using the FPU on i386 was renamed from
npxthread to fpcurthread to be identical with other architectures.
- Make the show pcpu ddb command MI with a MD callout to display MD
fields.
- The globaldata_register() function was renamed to pcpu_init() and now
init's MI fields of a struct pcpu in addition to registering it with
the internal array and list.
- A pcpu_destroy() function was added to remove a struct pcpu from the
internal array and list.

- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.

a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to

to make witness work with a given lock. This abstract lock stuff is

if we hold a spin mutex, since we can trivially get into deadlocks if we
start switching out of processes that hold spinlocks. Checking to see if
interrupts were disabled was a sort of cheap way of doing this since most
of the time interrupts were only disabled when holding a spin lock. At
least on the i386. To fix this properly, use a per-process counter
p_spinlocks that counts the number of spin locks currently held, and
instead of checking to see if interrupts are disabled in the witness code,
check to see if we hold any spin locks. Since child processes always
start up with the sched lock magically held in fork_exit(), we initialize
p_spinlocks to 1 for child processes. Note that proc0 doesn't go through
fork_exit(), so it starts with no spin locks held.

interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this
in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This
is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement
wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired
effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because
the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle.
vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately
change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same
size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really
be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof
sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.
Some things needed bits of <i386/include/lock.h> - cy.c now has its
own (only) copy of the COM_(UN)LOCK() macros, and IMASK_(UN)LOCK()
has been moved to <i386/include/apic.h> (AKA <machine/apic.h>).

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

interrupt threads to run with it always >= 1, so that malloc can
detect M_WAITOK from "interrupt" context. This is also necessary
in order to context switch from sched_ithd() directly.

initialization until after malloc() is safe to call, then iterate through
all mutexes and complete their initialization.
This change is necessary in order to avoid some circular bootstrapping
dependencies.
