smp_active = 1 used to indicate that the system had frozen previously
started AP's, while smp_active = 0 was "AP's not yet started". I have split
this into smp_started (which is set when the AP's come online), and
smp_active is left for turning on/off AP scheduling.
- We now have enough per-cpu idle context, the real idle loop has been
revived (cpu's halt now with nothing to do).
- Some preliminary support for running some operations outside the
global lock (eg: zeroing "free but not yet zeroed pages") is present
but appears to cause problems. Off by default.
- the smp_active sysctl now behaves differently. It's merely a 'true/false'
option. Setting smp_active to zero causes the AP's to halt in the idle
loop and stop scheduling processes.
- bootstrap is a lot safer. Instead of sharing a statically compiled in
stack a number of times (which has caused lots of problems) and then
abandoning it, we use the idle context to boot the AP's directly. This
should help >2 cpu support since the bootlock stuff was in doubt.
- print physical apic id in traps.. helps identify private pages getting
out of sync. (You don't want to know how much hair I tore out with this!)
More cleanup to follow, this is more of a checkpoint than a
'finished' thing.
irqs can't work (at best, the first one attached wins). It used to
be necessary to skip this check because of bogus irqs in the sound
drivers, but the sound drivers have been fixed, except possibly the
OSS ones.
arg of type u_short (just write the function in ANSI C like most
other functions in this file instead of fixing the interface or
depending on a gcc feature).
vm_inherit_t. These types are smaller than ints, so the prototypes
should have used the promoted type (int) to match the old-style function
definitions. They use just vm_prot_t and/or vm_inherit_t. This depends
on gcc features to work. I fixed the definitions since this is easiest.
The correct fix may be to change the small types to u_int, to optimize
for time instead of space.
wasted.
Fixed type mismatches for functions with vm_prot_t's as args. vm_prot_t
is u_char, so the prototypes should have used promoteof(u_char) to match
the old-style function definitions. They use just vm_prot_t. This depends
on gcc features to work. I fixed the definitions since this is easiest.
The correct fix may be to change vm_prot_t to u_int, to optimize for time
instead of space.
Removed a stale comment.
Added a new variable, 'bsp_apic_ready', which is set as soon as the bootstrap
CPU has initialized its local APIC. Conditionalize the GENSPLR functions
to call ss_lock ONLY after bsp_apic_ready is TRUE; This should prevent
any problems with races between the time the 1st AP becomes ready and the
time smp_active is set.
region protected by the simplelock 'cpl_lock'.
Notes:
- this code is currently controlled on a section by section basis with
defines in machine/param.h. All sections are currently enabled.
- this code is not as clean as I would like, but that can wait till later.
- the "giant lock" still surrounds most instances of this "cpl region".
I still have to do the code that arbitrates setting cpl between the
top and bottom halves of the kernel.
- the possibility of deadlock exists, I am committing the code at this
point so as to exercise it and detect any such cases B4 the "giant lock"
is removed.
pause before attempting to reset the sequencer address. Remove the
loop checking to see if the address has gone to zero since it is
unnecessary
Adjust the abort SCB timeouts back up to 2 seconds where they should
be.
Fix an oversight in the removal of the bus reset settle code where
we might not run the queue of completed commands.
Remove an unecessary call to ahc_run_done_queue in ahc_reset_current_bus.

Made NEW_STRATEGY default.
Removed misc. old cruft.
Centralized simple locks into mp_machdep.c
Centralized simple lock macros into param.h
More cleanup in the direction of making splxx()/cpl MP-safe.
I have no way of testing this one, first SMP/cy user please let me know...
It is my belief that sio and cy are the only FAST_INTR() ISRs. If this
is a bad assumption please educate me.
Several new fine-grained locks.
New FAST_INTR() methods:
- separate simplelock for FAST_INTR, no more giant lock.
- FAST_INTR()s no longer checks ipending on way out of ISR.
sio made MP-safe (I hope).
