previous snap. Specifically, kern_exit and kern_exec now makes a
call into the pmap module to do a very fast removal of pages from the
address space. Additionally, the pmap module now updates the PG_MAPPED
and PG_WRITABLE flags. This is an optional optimization, but helpful
on the X86.
- fixed a sloppy common-style declaration.
- removed an unused macro.
- moved once-used macros to the one file where they are used.

as in theire definition (gcc unfortunately allows the prototype

- staticized.
<net/if_arp.h> and fixed the things that depended on it. The nested
include just allowed unportable programs to compile and made my
simple #include checking program report that networking code doesn't
need to include <sys/socket.h>.
I586_OPTIMIZED_BCOPY is configured.
Similarly for bzero/I586_OPTIMIZED_BZERO.
Fake 586's had better have a hardware FPU with non-broken exception
handling (we mask exceptions, but broken exception handling may trap
on the instructions that do the masking). I guess this means that
the routines won't work on most 386's or FPUless 486's even when they
have a h/w FPU.
These are based on using the FPU to do 64-bit stores. They also
use i586-optimized instruction ordering, i586-optimized cache
management and a couple of other tricks. They should work on any
i*86 with a h/w FPU, but are slower on at least i386's and i486's.
They come close to saturating the memory bus on i586's. bzero()
can maintain a 3-3-3-3 burst cycle to 66 MHz non-EDO main memory
on a P133 (but is too slow to keep up with a 2-2-2-2 burst cycle
for EDO - someone with EDO should fix this). bcopy() is several
cycles short of keeping up with a 3-3-3-3 cycle for writing. For
a P133 writing to 66 MHz main memory, it just manages an N-3-3-3,
3-3-3-3 pair of burst cycles, where N is typically 6.
The new routines are not used by default. They are always configured
and can be enabled at runtime using a debugger or an lkm to change
their function pointer, or at compile time using new options (see
another log message).
Removed old, dead i586_bzero() and i686_bzero(). Read-before-write is
usually bad for i586's. It doubles the memory traffic unless the data
is already cached, and data is (or should be) very rarely cached for
large bzero()s (the system should prefer uncached pages for cleaning),
and the amount of data handled by small bzero()s is relatively small
in the kernel.
Improved comments about overlapping copies.
Removed unused #include.
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image

USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

performance issues.
1) The pmap module has had too many inlines, and so the
object file is simply bigger than it needs to be.
Some common code is also merged into subroutines.
2) Removal of some *evil* PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE macro calls.
Unfortunately, a few have needed to be added also.
The removal caused the need for more vm_page_lookups.
I added lookup hints to minimize the need for the
page table lookup operations.
3) Removal of some bogus performance improvements, that
mostly made the code more complex (tracking individual
page table page updates unnecessarily). Those improvements
actually hurt 386 processors perf (not that people who
worry about perf use 386 processors anymore :-)).
4) Changed pv queue manipulations/structures to be TAILQ's.
5) The pv queue code has had some performance problems since
day one. Some significant scalability issues are resolved
by threading the pv entries from the pmap AND the physical
address instead of just the physical address. This makes
certain pmap operations run much faster. This does
not affect most micro-benchmarks, but should help loaded system
performance *significantly*. DG helped and came up with most
of the solution for this one.
6) Most if not all pmap bit operations follow the pattern:
pmap_test_bit();
pmap_clear_bit();
That made for twice the necessary pv list traversal. The
pmap interface now supports only pmap_tc_bit type operations:
pmap_[test/clear]_modified, pmap_[test/clear]_referenced.
Additionally, the modified routine now takes a vm_page_t arg
instead of a phys address. This eliminates a PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
operation.
7) Several rewrites of routines that contain redundant code to
use common routines, so that there is a greater likelihood of
keeping the cache footprint smaller.

3) Minor improvements to vm_pageout including the use of pmap_ts_ref.
4) Major changes and code improvement to pmap. This code has had
several serious bugs in page table page manipulation. In order
to simplify the problem, and hopefully solve it for once and all,
page table pages are no longer "managed" with the pv list stuff.
Page table pages are only (mapped and held/wired) or
(free and unused) now. Page table pages are never inactive,
active or cached. These changes have probably fixed the
hold count problems, but if they haven't, then the code is
simpler anyway for future bugfixing.
5) The pmap code has been sorely in need of re-organization, and I
have taken a first (of probably many) steps. Please tell me

netscape-2.0 for Linux running all the Java stuff. The scrollbars are now
working, at least on my machine. (whew! :-)
I'm uncomfortable with the size of this commit, but it's too
inter-dependant to easily seperate out.
The main changes:
COMPAT_LINUX is *GONE*. Most of the code has been moved out of the i386
machine dependent section into the linux emulator itself. The int 0x80
syscall code was almost identical to the lcall 7,0 code and a minor tweak
allows them to both be used with the same C code. All kernels can now
just modload the lkm and it'll DTRT without having to rebuild the kernel
first. Like IBCS2, you can statically compile it in with "options LINUX".
A pile of new syscalls implemented, including getdents(), llseek(),
readv(), writev(), msync(), personality(). The Linux-ELF libraries want
to use some of these.
linux_select() now obeys Linux semantics, ie: returns the time remaining
of the timeout value rather than leaving it the original value.
Quite a few bugs removed, including incorrect arguments being used in
syscalls.. eg: mixups between passing the sigset as an int, vs passing
it as a pointer and doing a copyin(), missing return values, unhandled
cases, SIOC* ioctls, etc.
The build for the code has changed. i386/conf/files now knows how
to build linux_genassym and generate linux_assym.h on the fly.
Supporting changes elsewhere in the kernel:
The user-mode signal trampoline has moved from the U area to immediately
below the top of the stack (below PS_STRINGS). This allows the different
binary emulations to have their own signal trampoline code (which gets rid
of the hardwired syscall 103 (sigreturn on BSD, syslog on Linux)) and so
that the emulator can provide the exact "struct sigcontext *" argument to
the program's signal handlers.
The sigstack's "ss_flags" now uses SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK flags, which
have the same values as the re-used SA_DISABLE and SA_ONSTACK which are
intended for sigaction only. This enables the support of a SA_RESETHAND
flag to sigaction to implement the gross SYSV and Linux SA_ONESHOT signal
semantics where the signal handler is reset when it's triggered.
makesyscalls.sh no longer appends the struct sysentvec on the end of the
generated init_sysent.c code. It's a lot saner to have it in a seperate
file rather than trying to update the structure inside the awk script. :-)
At exec time, the dozen bytes or so of signal trampoline code are copied
to the top of the user's stack, rather than obtaining the trampoline code
the old way by getting a clone of the parent's user area. This allows
Linux and native binaries to freely exec each other without getting
trampolines mixed up.
pmap_activate since it's not used anymore. Changed cpu_fork so that
it uses one line of inline assembly rather than calling mvesp() to
get the current stack pointer. Removed mvesp() since it is no longer
being used.
clock interrupts.
Keep a 1-in-16 smoothed average of the length of each tick. If the
CPU speed is correctly diagnosed, this should give experienced users
enough information to figure out a more suitable value for `tick'.
fd and wt drivers need bounce buffers, so this normally saves 32K-1K
of kernel memory.
Keep track of which DMA channels are busy. isa_dmadone() must now be
called when DMA has finished or been aborted.
Panic for unallocated and too-small (required) bounce buffers.

There will be new warnings about isa_dmadone() not being called after
DMA has been aborted.

Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause
that happens every 30seconds.
Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the
case of filesystems mounted async.
Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO
buffers.
Add more features to the one remaining to handle the job:
+ signed quantity.
# alternate format
- left padding
* read width as next arg.
n numeric in (argument specified) default radix.
Fix the DDB debugger to use these.
Use vprintf in debug routine in pcvt.
The warnings from gcc may become more wrong and intolerable because
of this.
Warning: I have not checked the entire source for unsupported or
changed constructs, but generally belive that there are only a few.

variants, idea taken from NetBSD clock.c.
At least year calculation was wrong, pointed by Bruce.
Use different strategy to store year for BIOS without RTC_CENTURY
was overlapping with another file, and making some undesirable behavior a
little worse - it's triggering a bug in config that appears to have been
there for some time (before the options files, anyway.)
Nobody in our regular source tree, or in the non-distfile part of the
ports tree does use /dev/io anyway, so this might be replaced by
another scenario some day.
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches. The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.
gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes. Does anyone
disagree?
gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header. This
hack will do until then. (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)
config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.
kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'. `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.
bzero.
Deprecated blkclr (removed it).
Removed some old cruft from cpufunc.h.
The optimized bzero was submitted by Torbjorn Granlund <tege@matematik.su.se>
The kernel adaption and other changes by me.

bcopy:
Be smarter about handling overlapped copies and only go backwards if it
is really necessary. Going backwards on a P6 is much slower than forwards
and it's a little slower on a P5. Also moved the count mask and 'std'
down a few lines - it's a couple percent faster this way on a P5.
libkern.a are now specified by listing their source files in
files.${MACHINE}. The list is machine-dependent to save space.
All the necessary object for each machine must be linked into the
kernel in case an lkm wants one.
