The split-up code is derived from the ia64 code originally.
Note that I have only compile-tested this, not actually run-tested it.
The ia64 side of the force is missing some significant chunks of signal
delivery code.
Not all transfers between kernel and user space are byte oriented
and thus alignment safe. Especially fuword*() and suword*() are
sensitive to alignment but in general more optimal than block copies.
By catching the misalignment trap we avoid pessimizing the common
case of properly aligned memory accesses which we would do if we
were to use byte copies or adding tests for proper alignment.
Note that the expectation that the kernel produces aligned pointers
is unchanged. This change therefore relates to possible unaligned
pointers generated in userland.

flags. We now create asynchronous contexts or syscall contexts only.
Syscall contexts differ from the minimal ABI dictated contexts by
having the scratch registers saved and restored because that's where
we keep the syscall arguments and syscall return values.
Since this change affects KSE, have it use kse_switchin(2) for the

very early (SI_SUB_TUNABLES - 1) and is responsible for setting mp_maxid.
cpu_mp_probe() is now called at SI_SUB_CPU and determines if SMP is
actually present and sets mp_ncpus and all_cpus. Splitting these up
allows an architecture to probe CPUs later than SI_SUB_TUNABLES by just
setting mp_maxid to MAXCPU in cpu_mp_setmaxid(). This could allow the
CPU probing code to live in a module, for example, since modules
sysinit's in modules cannot be invoked prior to SI_SUB_KLD. This is
needed to re-enable the ACPI module on i386.
- For the alpha SMP probing code, use LOCATE_PCS() instead of duplicating
its contents in a few places. Also, add a smp_cpu_enabled() function
to avoid duplicating some code. There is room for further code
reduction later since much of this code is also present in cpu_mp_start().
- All archs besides i386 still set mp_maxid to the same values they set it
to before this change. i386 now sets mp_maxid to MAXCPU.

important change is in cpu_switch() where we disable the high FP
registers for the thread that we switch-out if the CPU currently
has its high FP registers. This avoids that the high FP registers
remain enabled for the thread even when the CPU has unloaded them
or the thread migrated to another processor.
Likewise, when we switch-in a thread of that has its high FP
registers on the CPU, we enable them. This avoids an otherwise
harmless, but unnecessary trap to have them enabled.
The code that handles the disabled high FP trap (in trap()) has
been turned into a critical section for the most part to avoid
being preempted. If there's a race, we bail out and have the
processor trap again if necessary.
Avoid using the generic ia64_highfp_save() function when the
context is predictable. The function adds unnecessary overhead.
Don't use ia64_highfp_load() for the same reason. The function
is now unused and can be removed.
These changes make the lazy context switching of the high FP
registers in an UP kernel functional.
that we currently do not keep track of whether the thread has
actually used the high FP registers before. If not, we should
not save them in the context which automaticly means that we
also would not restore them from the context. For now, do it
unconditionally so that we can reach functional completeness.
functions switched to using {g|s}et_mcontext(). The problem is that
sigreturn(), being a syscall, can be given an async. context (i.e.
one corresponding to an interrupt or trap). When this happens, we
try to return to user mode via epc_syscall_return with a trapframe
that can only be used to return to user mode via exception_restore.
To fix this, we check the frame's flags immediately prior to
epc_syscall_return and branch to exception_restore for non-syscall
frames. Modify the assertion in set_mcontext() to check that if
there's a mismatch, it's because of sigreturn().
Only update them in the newly created context to reflect the state
after copying the dirty registers onto the user stack. If we were to
update the trapframe, we lose the state at entry into the kernel. We
may need that after we create the context, such as for KSE upcalls.
We have to update the trapframe after writing the dirty registers to
the user stack for signal delivery to work. But this is best done in
sendsig() itself where it applies, not in get_mcontext() where it's
done unconditionally.
use set_mcontext() to restore the context in sigreturn(). Since we
put the syscall number and the syscall arguments in the trapframe
(we don't save the scratch registers for syscalls, which allows us
to reuse the space to our advantage), create a MD specific flag so
that we save the scratch registers even for syscalls. We would not
be able to restart a syscall otherwise.
The signal trampoline does not need to flush the regiters anymore,
because get_mcontext() already handles that. In fact, if we set up
the context correctly, we do not need to have a trampoline at all.
This change however only minimally changes the trampoline code. In
follow-up commits this can be further optimized.
Note that normally we preserve cfm and iip in the trapframe created
by the EPC syscall path when we restore a context in set_mcontext()
because those fields are not normally set for a synchronuous context.
The kernel puts the return address and frame info of the syscall
stub in there. By preserving these fields we hide this detail from
userland which allows us to use setcontext(2) for user created
contexts. However, sigreturn() is commonly called from the trampoline,
which means that if we preserve cfm and iip in all cases, we would
return to the trampoline after the sigreturn(), which means we hit
the safety net: we call exit(2). So, we do not preserve cfm and iip
when we have a synchronous context that also has scratch registers
(the uncommon context created by sendsig() only), under the assumption
that if such a context is created in userland, something special is
going on and the use of cfm and iip is then just another quirk. All
this is invisible in the common case.
Since all callers either passed 0 or 1 for clear_ret, define bit 0 in
the flags for use as clear_ret. Reserve bits 1, 2 and 3 for use by MI
code for possible (but unlikely) future use. The remaining bits are for
use by MD code.
This change is triggered by a need on ia64 to have another knob for
get_mcontext().

poke at them with PC legacy code. The atkbd and psm devices were
disabled in the hints file so that one could enable them on machines
that support legacy devices, but that's not really something you can
expect from a first-time installer. This still leaves syscons (sc)

anyway. We could disable them by default like the atkbd and psm
devices, but there's really no point in pretending we're in a better

the RNAT bit index constant. The net effect of this is that there's
no discontinuity WRT NaT collections which greatly simplifies certain
operations. The cost of this is that there can be up to 504 bytes of
unused stack between the true base of the kernel stack and the start
of the RSE backing store. The cost of adjusting the backing store
pointer to keep the RNAT bit index constant, for each kernel entry,
is negligible.
The primary reasons for this change are:
1. Asynchronuous contexts in KSE processes have the disadvantage of
having to copy the dirty registers from the kernel stack onto the
user stack. The implementation we had so far copied the registers
one at a time without calculating NaT collection values. A process
that used speculation would not work. Now that the RNAT bit index
is constant, we can block-copy the registers from the kernel stack
to the user stack without having to worry about NaT collections.
They will be in the right place on the user stack.
2. The ndirty field in the trapframe is now also usable in userland.
This was previously not the case because ndirty also includes the
space occupied by NaT collections. The value could be off by 8,
depending on the discontinuity. Now that the RNAT bit index is
contants, we have exactly the same number of NaT collection points
on the kernel stack as we would have had on the user stack if we
didn't switch backing stores.
3. Debuggers and other applications that use ptrace(2) can now copy
the dirty registers from the kernel stack (using ptrace(2)) and
copy them whereever they want them (onto the user stack of the
inferior as might be the case for gdb) without having to worry
about NaT collections in the same way the kernel doesn't have to
worry about them.
There's a second order effect caused by the randomization of the
base of the backing store, for it depends on the number of dirty
registers the processor happened to have at the time of entry into
the kernel. The second order effect is that the RSE will have a
better cache utilization as compared to having the backing store
always aligned at page boundaries. This has not been measured and
may be in practice only minimally beneficial, if at all measurable.

added for XFree86. There are 2 reasons for doing this with sysarch():
1. The memory mapped I/O space is not at a fixed physical address. An
application has to use some interface to get the base address. It
gets worse if the machine has multiple memory mapped I/O spaces.
2. Access to the memory mapped I/O space needs to happen through a
translation that is flagged as uncachable. There's no interface
that allows a process to do uncached memory I/O, other than though
/dev/mem (possibly).
So, until we either disallow direct access to I/O or bus space from
userland or have a better way of doing this, sysarch() has the least
negative impact on existing interfaces.

frame marker) and the syscall stub frame info in the trap frame.
Previously we stored the stub frame info in (rp,pfs) and the
caller frame info in (iip,cfm). This ends up being suboptimal
for the following reasons:
1. When we create a new context, such as for an execve(2), we had
to set the (rp,pfs) pair for the entry point when using the
syscall path out of the kernel but we need to set the (iip,cfm)
pair when we take the interrupt way out. This is mostly just
an inconsistency from the kernel's point of view, but an ugly
irregularity from gdb(1)'s point of view.
2. The getcontext(2) and setcontext(2) syscalls had to swap the
(rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs to make the context compatible
with one created purely in userland.
Swapping the (rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs is visible to signal
handlers that actually peek at the mcontext_t and to gdb(1).
Since this change is made for gdb(1) and we don't care about
signal handlers that peek at the mcontext_t because we're still
a tier 2 platform, this ABI breakage is academic at this moment
in time.
Note that there was no real reason to save the caller frame info
in (iip,cfm) and the stub frame info in (rp,pfs).

Note that we cannot remove all references to the sysctl tweakable

not guaranteed that the RSE writes the NaT collection immediately,
sort of atomically, to the backing store when it writes the register
immediately prior to the NaT collection point. This means that we
cannot assume that the low 9 bits of the backingstore pointer do not
point to the NaT collection. This is rather a surprise and I don't
know at this time if it's a bug in the Merced or that it's actually
a valid condition of the architecture. A quick scan over the sources
does not indicate that we depend on the false assumption elsewhere,
but it's something to keep in mind.
The fix is to write the saved contents of the ar.rnat register to
the backingstore prior to entering the loop that copies the dirty

While here, remove the special handling of the old break-based syscall

reserve a new break immediate for KSE. We currently use the old break-
based syscall to deal with restoring async contexts. However, it has
the side-effect of also setting the signal mask and callong ast() on
the way out. The new break immediate simply restores the context and
returns without calling ast().

rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).

we return to kernel or userland. This triggered a panic in a KSE
application when TDF_USTATCLOCK was set in the case userland was
interrupted, but we never called ast() on our way out. As such,
we called ast() at some other time. Unfortunately, TDF_USTATCLOCK
handling assumes running in the interrupt thread. This was not
the case anymore.
To avoid making the same mistake later, interrupt() now returns
to its caller whether we interrupted userland or not. This avoids
that we have to duplicate the check in assembly, where it's bound
to fall off the scope. Now we simply check the return value and
call ast() if appropriate.

Consequently, ia64 will never preserve previous msgbufs. This is not

sockets into machine-dependent files. The rationale for this
migration is illustrated by the modified amd64 allocator. It uses the
amd64's direct map to avoid emphemeral mappings in the kernel's
address space. On an SMP, the emphemeral mappings result in an IPI
for TLB shootdown for each transmitted page. Yuck.
Maintainers of other 64-bit platforms with direct maps should be able
to use the amd64 allocator as a reference implementation.

1.81 and 1.82 of trap.c. I was simply too pre-occupied with the
gateway page and how it blurs kernel space with user space and
vice versa that I couldn't see that it was all a load of bollocks.
It's not the IP address that matters, it's the privilege level that
counts. We never run in user space with lifted permissions and we
sure can not run in kernel space without it. Sure, the gateway page
is the exception, but not if you look at the privilege level. It's
user space if you run with user permissions and kernel space otherwise.
So, we're back to looking at the privilege level like it should be.
There's no other way.

to RSE modifyable registers. In this case we restore the RSE NaT
collection register ar.rnat. I have seen 2 general exception faults
on pluto1 now that indicate that the move to ar.rsc has already
happened prior to the move to ar.rnat, meaning that the RSE is not
in enforced lazy mode anymore. The ia64 dependency and instruction
ordering rules seem to allow having both registers written to in
the same instruction group, provided ar.rsc is written to later than
ar.rnat (based on the ordering semantics). It appears that we may
be pushing our luck. For now, put them in seperate cycles (by means
of the instruction group break). If we ever get a general exception
fault on the move to ar.rnat again, we have definite proof that
something else is fishy.

path into the kernel. Normally it's due to a syscall, but one can
also be created as the result of a clock interrupt (for example).
This now even more looks like exec_setregs().
While here, add an assert that we don't expect more than 8KB of
dirty registers on the kernel stack.
unconditionally restore ar.k7 (kernel memory stack) and ar.k6
(kernel register stack). I don't know what I was smoking then,
but if you unconditionally restore ar.k6, you also want to
compute its value unconditionally. By having the computation
predicated and dependent on whether we return to user mode, we
would end up writing junk (= invalid value for ar.bspstore) if
we would return to kernel mode. But the whole point of the
unconditional restoration was that there is a grey area where
we still need to have ar.k6 restored. If we restore with a junk
value, we would end up wedging the machine on the next interrupt.
So, unconditionally calculate the value we unconditionally write
to ar.k6.
o The previous braino was found while making the following change:
We used to clear the lower 9 bits of the value we write to ar.k6.
The meaning being that we know that the kernel register stack is
at least 512 byte aligned and simply clearing the lower 9 bits
allows us to return to a context of which we don't have dirty
registers on the kernel stack, even though the context that
entered the kernel does have dirty registers on the kernel stack.
By masking-off the lower bits, we correctly obtain the base of
the register stack without having to worry that we didn't actually
reached the base while unwinding it.
The change is to mask off the lower 13 bits, knowing that the
kernel register stack is always 8KB aligned. The advantage is that
we don't have to worry anymore if there's more than 512 bytes of
dirty registers on the kernel stack. A situation that frequently
occurs. In exec_setregs() in machdep.c:1.147 or older, we had to
deal with that situation by copying the active portion of the
register stack down in multiples of 512 bytes. Now that we mask off
the lower 13 bits we don't have to do that at all. Contemporary
IPF processors have a register file that can hold up to 96 stacked
registers (=784 bytes [incl. 2 NaT collections]). With no indication
that register files grow beyond a couple of hundred registers, we
should not have to worry about it anymore... and yes, 640KB is
enough for everybody :-)
This change helps setcontext(2) and cpu_set_upcall_kse() in that
they can return to completely different contexts without having to
mess with the kernel stack. Of course exec_setregs() doesn't need
to do that anymore as well.
need this for swapcontext(), KSE upcalls initiated from ast()
also need to save them so that we properly return the syscall
results after having had a context switch. Note that we don't
use r11 in the kernel. However, the runtime specification has
defined r8-r11 as return registers, so we put r11 in the context
as well. I think deischen@ was trying to tell me that we should
save the return registers before. I just wasn't ready for it :-)
o The EPC syscall code has 2 return registers and 2 frame markers
to save. The first (rp/pfs) belongs to the syscall stub itself.
The second (iip/cfm) belongs to the caller of the syscall stub.
We want to put the second in the context (note that iip and cfm
relate to interrupts. They are only being misused by the syscall
code, but are not part of a regular context).
This way, when the context is switched to again, we return to
the caller of setcontext(2) as one would expect.
o Deal with dirty registers on the kernel stack. The getcontext()
syscall will flush the RSE, so we don't expect any dirty registers
in that case. However, in thread_userret() we also need to save
the context in certain cases. When that happens, we are sure that
there are dirty registers on the kernel stack.
This implementation simply copies the registers, one at a time,
from the kernel stack to the user stack. NAT collections are not
dealt with. Hence we don't preserve NaT bits. A better solution
needs to be found at some later time.
We also don't deal with this in all cases in set_mcontext. No
temporay solution is implemented because it's not a showstopper.
The problem is that we need to ignore the dirty registers and we
automaticly do that for at most 62 registers. When there are more
than 62 dirty registers we have a memory "leak".

for sparc64.
o Keep a per-CPU ITC counter (pc_clock) and adjustment (pc_clockadj)
to calculate ITC skew and corrections. On average, we adjust the
ITC match register once every ~1500 interrupts for a duration of
2 consequtive interruprs. This is to correct the non-deterministic
behaviour of the ITC interrupt (there's a delay between the match
and the raising of the interrupt).
o Add 4 debugging sysctls to monitor clock behaviour. Those are
debug.clock_adjust_edges, debug.clock_adjust_excess,
debug.clock_adjust_lost and debug.clock_adjust_ticks. The first
counts the individual adjustment cycles (when the skew first
crosses the threshold), the second counts the number of times the
adjustment was excessive (any non-zero value is to be considered
a bug), the third counts lost clock interrupts and the last counts
the number of interrupts for which we applied an adjustment
(debug.clock_adjust_ticks / debug.clock_adjust_edges gives the
avarage duration of an individual adjustment -- should be ~2).

This bug was introduced by the context changes and EPC syscall code.
Handling of ASTs was moved to C for clarity and ease of maintenance,
but was not added for the external interrupt case.
This needs to be revisited. We now have calls to do_ast() in trap(),
break_syscall() and ivt_External_Interrupt(). A single call in
exception_restore covers these 3 places without duplication. This
is where we handled ASTs prior to the overhaul, except that the
meat has been moved to do_ast(), a C function. This was the goal
to begin with.

created not only with UMA_ZONE_VM but also with UMA_ZONE_NOFREE. In
the i386 case in particular, the pmap code would hook a special
page allocation routine that allocated from kernel_map and not kmem_map,
and so when/if the pageout daemon drained the zones, it could actually
push out slabs from the PV ENTRY zone but call UMA's default page_free,
which resulted in pages allocated from kernel_map being freed to
kmem_map; bad. kmem_free() ignores the return value of the
vm_map_delete and just returns. I'm not sure what the exact

This commit moves the vnode-backed case into the (relatively) new

amounts to code rearrangement. On alpha and ia64, the new machine
independent (MI) implementation of the vnode case is smaller and more

Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

The prime reason for this change is to allow cpu_set_upcall() to copy
(parts of) the trapframe instead of having it done in MI code in each
caller of cpu_set_upcall(). Copying the trapframe cannot always be
done with a simply bcopy() or may not always be optimal that way. On
ia64 specifically the trapframe contains information that is specific
to an entry into the kernel and can only be used by the corresponding
exit from the kernel. A trapframe copied verbatim from another frame
is in most cases useless without some additional normalization.
Note that this change removes the assignment to td->td_frame in some
implementations of cpu_set_upcall(). The assignment is redundant.
A previous call to cpu_thread_setup() already did the exact same
assignment. An added benefit of removing the redundant assignment is
that we can now change td_pcb without nasty side-effects.

backing store before we discard them. It is possible that we
enter the kernel (due to an execve in this case) with a lot of
dirty user registers and that the RSE has only partially spilled
them (to make room for new frames). We cannot move the backing
store pointer down (to discard user registers) when not all of
the user registers are on the backing store.
So, we flush the register stack IFF this happens. Unconditionally
doing the flush is too costly, because the condition in which we
need to flush is very rare.
This change appears to fix the SIGSEGV that sometimes happen for
newly executed processes and so far also appears to fix the last
of the corruption. It is possible, although not likely, that this
change prevents some other bug from happening, even though it is
itself not a fix. Hence the uncertainty. We'll know in a couple
of months I guess :-)
The current name is confusing, because it indicates to
the client that a bus_dmamap_sync() operation is not
necessary when the flag is specified, which is wrong.
The main purpose of this flag is to hint the underlying
architecture that DMA memory should be mapped in a coherent
way, but the architecture can ignore it. But if the
architecture does supports coherent mapping of memory, then
it makes bus_dmamap_sync() calls cheap.
This flag is the same as the one in NetBSD's Bus DMA.

to userland with interrupts disabled until we restore PSR. However,
it has been observed that interrupts do actually happen before they
are enabled again. This is a bit surprising and I don't know yet
what's going on exactly. Nevertheless, the code was not crafted
carefully enough to allow interrupts to happen and we could
clobber the kernel stack of another thread when interrupts did
happen.
This is what happens: we restore the (memory) stack pointer (sp)
and the register stack base prior to restoring ar.k6 and ar.k7.
This is not a problem if interrupts don't happen between setting
sp/ar.bspstore and ar.k6/ar.k7. Alas, interrupts can happen.
Since sp/ar.bspstore already point to the userland stacks, we
need to switch to the kernel stack in interrupt. However, ar.k6
and ar.k7 have not been set, which means that we were switching
to some unrelated kstack and happily clobbered the trapframe
present there if the thread to which the kstack belonged was
in kernel mode or otherwise we could have our trapframe clobbered
if that other thread enters the kernel. Nasty either way.
We now carefully restore ar.k6 prior to restoring ar.bspstore and
likewise for ar.k7 and sp. All we need is the guarantee that an
interrupt does not clobber ar.k6 or ar.k7 before we're back in
userland. That has been achieved by restoring ar.k6/ar.k7
unconditionally (see exception.s)
While here, remove the disabling of interrupts on EPC entry. It
was added as a way to "resolve" the crashes until it was understood
what was going on. I think I achieved the latter, so we can remove
the patch. Note that setting up a trapframe with interrupts
enabled has it's own share of corner cases, but it's better to
properly fixed those than to keep a mostly wrong patch around
because we're afraid to remove it...

PSR only to achieve setting PSR.i back to it's previous value. It
makes it impossible to change any of the 30+ other unrelated bits
when done between intr_disable() and intr_restore(). That's bad.
Instead have intr_disable() return 1 when interrupts were previously
enabled and 0 otherwise and only enable interrupts in intr_restore()
when given a non-0 value.
This change specifically disallows using intr_restore() to disable
interrupts. The reason is simple: interrupts only need to be restored
after they are being disabled, which means that intr_restore() is
called with interrupts disabled and we only need to enable them if
they were previously enabled.
This change does not fix any bugs, other than that it bugged me...

and user mode. We need to take into account that the EPC syscall path
introduces a grey area in which one can argue either way, including a
third: neither.
We now use the region in which the IP address lies. Regions 5, 6 and 7
are kernel VA regions and if the IP lies any any of those regions we
assume we're in kernel mode. Hence, we can be in kernel mode even if
we're not on the kernel stack and/or have user privileges. There're
gremlins living in the twilight zone :-)
For the EPC syscall path this particularly means that the process
leaves user mode the moment it calls into the gateway page. This
makes the most sense because from a process' point of view the call
represents a request to the kernel for some service and that service
has been performed if the call returns. With the metric we picked,
this also means that we're back in user mode IFF the call returns.

when returning from an interrupt. Both registers are used on interrupt
to switch to the right kernel stack, but other than that they are not
used. This means we only have to make sure they contain proper values
while in user mode. As such, we conditionally restored these registers
based on whether we returned to userland or not. A nice property of
conditionally restoring ar.k6 and ar.k7 is that it introduces two
invariants: ar.k6 always points to the bottom of the kernel stack and
ar.k7 always points to the top of the kernel stack (immediately below
the PCB we have there).
However, the EPC syscall path introduces an irregularity: there's no
"thin red line" between user and kernel. There's a grey area that's a
couple of instructions wide. Any interruption in that grey area is
bound to see an inconsistent state. One such state is that we're in
kernel space for all practical purposes, but we still need to have
ar.k6 and ar.k7 restored as if we're in userland.
Thus: restore ar.k6 and ar.k7 unconditionally at the cost of losing
a valuable invariant. Both registers now hold the extend of the
usable portion of the kernel stack at any interrupt nesting, which
when in userland mean the bottom and the top of the kstack.
On alpha, PAL is involved in context management and after wiring
the CPU (in alpha_init()) a context switch was performed to tell
PAL about the context. This was bogusly brought over to ia64
where it introduced bugs, because we restored the context from
a mostly uninitialized PCB.
The cleanup constitutes:
o Remove the unused arguments from ia64_init().
o Don't return from ia64_init(), but instead call mi_startup()
directly. This reduces the amount of muckery in assembly and
also allows for the next bullet:
o Save our currect context prior to calling mi_startup(). The
reason for this is that many threads are created from thread0
by cloning the PCB. By saving our context in the PCB, we have
something sane to clone. It also ensures that a cloned thread
that does not alter the context in any way will return to
the saved context, where we're ready for the eventuality with
a nice, user unfriendly panic().
The cleanup fixes at least the following bugs:
o Entering mi_startup() with the RSE in enforced lazy mode.
o Re-execution of ia64_init() in certain "lab" conditions.
While here, add proper unwind directives to __start() so that
the unwind knows it has reached the bottom of the (call) stack.

When interrupting a kernel context, we don't need to switch stacks
(memory nor register). As such, we were also not restoring the
register stack pointer (ar.bspstore). This, however, fails to be
valid in 1 situation: when we interrupt a register stack switch as
is being done in restorectx(). The problem is that restorectx()
needs to have ar.bsp == ar.bspstore before it can assign the new
value to ar.bspstore. This is achieved by doing a loadrs prior to
assigning to ar.bspstore. If we take an interrupt in between the
loadrs and the assignment and we don't make sure we restore the
ar.bspstore prior to returning from the interrupt, we switch
stacks with possibly non-zero dirty registers, which means that
the new frame pointer (ar.bsp) will be invalid.
So, instead of jumping over the restoration of the register frame
pointer and related registers, we conditionalize it based on whether
we return to kernel context or user context. A future performance
tweak is possible by only restoring ar.bspstore when returning to
kernel mode *and* when the RSE is in enforced lazy mode. One cannot
assume ar.bsp == ar.bspstore if the RSE is not in enforced lazy mode
anyway.
While here (well, not quite) don't unconditionally assign to
ar.bspstore in exception_save. Only do that when we actually switch
stacks. It can only harm us to do it unconditionally.

register stack. There's nothing really wrong with flushing before
putting the RSE in enforced lazy mode, provided you don't depend on
ar.bspstore being equal to ar.bsp when the RSE has been put in
enforced lazy more. The small window between the flush and setting
the RSE may be sufficient to have the RSE eagerly increase the dirty
region (and hence cause ar.bspstore != ar.bsp) or have an interrupt
that may even get the laziest RSE to do something.
Anyway: we don't depend on ar.bspstore being equal to ar.bsp, so
nothing was and is broken. But the code was non-intuitive and
easily confuses. This is a source of future bugs.
Note: the advantage of not depending on ar.bspstore is that there's
some recilience against an interrupted flushrs. Clobbering is limited
to stacked register contents only, not to RSE address clobbering.

prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).
Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)
Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.
Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.
Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.
This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.

trust kernel_vm_end to be correct and we make sure it's still correct
after growing.
Define virtual_avail and virtual_end in terms of VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS
and VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS (resp). Don't hardcode region knowledge.
o Limit the size of the region ID map to 64KB. This gives a bitmap
that is large enough to keep track of 2^19 numbers. The minimal map
size is 32KB. The reason we limit the map size is that processor
models may have implemented a 24-bit region ID, which would give
a 2MB bitmap while the maximum number of allocations is always
less than PID_MAX*5, which is less than 2^19.
o Allocate all region IDs up-front. The slight downside of reserving
more RIDs then a process needs (3 for ia64 native and 1 for ia32)
is preferable over the call to pmap_ensure_rid() where RIDs are
allocated on demand. On SMP systems this may lead to a race
condition.
o When allocating a region ID, don't use arc4random(). We're not
interested in randomness or uniform distribution across the
spectrum. We only need uniqueness. Random numbers may easily
collide when the number of allocated RIDs is high, creating a
possibly unbounded retry rate.
The advantage of using register sets is that you don't focus on each
register seperately, but instead instroduce a level of abstraction.
This reduces the chance of errors, and also simplifies the code.
The register sers form the basis of everything register.
The sets in this file are:
struct _special
contains all of the control related registers, such as instruction
pointer and stack pointer. It also contains interrupt specific registers
like the faulting address. The set is roughly split in 3 groups. The
first contains the registers that define a context or thread. This is
the only group that the kernel needs to switch threads. The second group
contains registers needed in addition to the first group needed to switch
userland threads. This group contains the thread pointer and the FP control
register. The third group contains those registers we need for execption
handling and are used on top of the first two groups.
struct _callee_saved, struct _callee_saved_fp
These sets contain the preserved registers, including the NaT after
spilling. The general registers (including branch registers) are
seperated from the FP registers for ptrace(2).
struct _caller_saved, struct _caller_saved_fp
These sets contain the scratch registers based on SDM 2.1, This means that
both ar.csd and ar.ccd are included here, even though they contain ia32
segment register descriptions. We keep seperate NaT bits for scratch and
preserved registers, because they are never saved/restored at the same
time.
struct _high_fp
The upper 96 FP registers that can be enabled/disabled seperately on
the CPU from the lower 32 FP registers. Due to the size of this set,
we treat them specially, even though they are defined as scratch
registers.

save and restore "sets" of registers in various places.
The restorectx and swapctx functions are used by cpu_switch()
and deal with the special registers, as well as the preserved
registers.
The *callee_saved* functions are used to save and restore the
preserved registers (integer and floating-point). They are
useful for signal delivery and ptrace support.
The save_high_fp and restore_high_fp functions are used to
"load" and "unload" to and from the CPU as part of lazy context
switching.
The ia32 specific context functions have been kept with the ia32

on the epc instruction. The epc instruction, given the permissions
of the page in which the epc is located, allows the privilege level
to be increased with little or no overhead. The previous privilege
level is recorded in the current frame marker and is restored by
a regular (function) return.
Since the epc instruction has to live in a page with non-standard
properties, we hardwire a "gateway" page in the address space. The
address of the gateway page is exported to userland in ar.k7. This
allows us to rewire the page without breaking the ABI.
The syscall stubs in libc are regular function calls that slightly
differ from the normal runtime. The difference is mostly to simplify
the stubs themselves by by moving some of the logic to the kernel.
The libc stubs call into the gateway page (offset 0), from where the
kernel trampolines to the code that sets up a minimal trapframe and
arranges to execute from the kernel stack.
The way back is basicly the same. The kernel returns to the gateway
page, whereby privilege is dropped, and jumps back to the syscall
stub.
Only the special registers are saved in the trapframe. None of the
scratch registers are preserved and since the kernel follows the
same runtime model, none of the preserved registers are saved.
Future enhancements can include the implementation of lightweight
syscalls, where kernel functions are performed without setting up
a trapframe. Good candidates are the *context syscalls for example.
Now that there's a gateway page from which code can be executed in
a non-privileged context, we also have the ideal place to put the
signal trampolines. By moving the signal trampolines from the user
stack to the gateway page, we open up the doors to unexecutable
stacks. The gateway page contains signal trampolines for both the
"legacy" break-based syscall code and the new and improved epc-
based syscall code.

a PITA without having any significant benefit. We always support them
both. Since there are no I/O ports on ia64 (they are simulated by the
chipset by translating memory mapped I/O to predefined uncacheable
memory regions) the only difference between PIO and MEMIO is in the
address calculation. There should be enough ILP that can be exploited

o Do not add the fences that were present in the low-level support

memory fence enforces ordering, but does not imply visibility (ie
the access does not necessarily have happened). This is what the
acceptance deals with.

syscall return values should be cleared. The system calls
getcontext() and swapcontext() want to return 0 on success
