trying to run X on some Athlon systems where the BIOS does odd things
(mines an ASUS A7A266, but it seems to also help on other systems).
Here's a description of the problem and my fix:
The problem with the old MTRR code is that it only expects
to find documented values in the bytes of MTRR registers.
To convert the MTRR byte into a FreeBSD "Memory Range Type"
(mrt) it uses the byte value and looks it up in an array.
If the value is not in range then the mrt value ends up
containing random junk.
This isn't an immediate problem. The mrt value is only used
later when rewriting the MTRR registers. When we finally
go to write a value back again, the function i686_mtrrtype()
searches for the junk value and returns -1 when it fails
to find it. This is converted to a byte (0xff) and written
back to the register, causing a GPF as 0xff is an illegal
value for a MTRR byte.
To work around this problem I've added a new mrt flag
MDF_UNKNOWN. We set this when we read a MTRR byte which
we do not understand. If we try to convert a MDF_UNKNOWN
back into a MTRR value, then the new function, i686_mrt2mtrr,
just returns the old value of the MTRR byte. This leaves
the memory range type unchanged.
I'd like to merge this before the 4.6 code freeze, so if people
can test this with XFree 4 that would be very useful.

is used as the device.
Savecore will fail if handed any options since they are not (yet)
implemented. All devices marked "dump" or "swap" in /etc/fstab
will be scanned and dumps found will be saved to diskfiles

enabled in critical sections and streamline critical_enter() and
critical_exit().
This commit allows an architecture to leave interrupts enabled inside
critical sections if it so wishes. Architectures that do not wish to do
this are not effected by this change.
This commit implements the feature for the I386 architecture and provides
a sysctl, debug.critical_mode, which defaults to 1 (use the feature). For
now you can turn the sysctl on and off at any time in order to test the
architectural changes or track down bugs.
This commit is just the first stage. Some areas of the code, specifically
the MACHINE_CRITICAL_ENTER #ifdef'd code, is strictly temporary and will
be cleaned up in the STAGE-2 commit when the critical_*() functions are
moved entirely into MD files.
The following changes have been made:
* critical_enter() and critical_exit() for I386 now simply increment
and decrement curthread->td_critnest. They no longer disable
hard interrupts. When critical_exit() decrements the counter to
0 it effectively calls a routine to deal with whatever interrupts
were deferred during the time the code was operating in a critical
section.
Other architectures are unaffected.
* fork_exit() has been conditionalized to remove MD assumptions for
the new code. Old code will still use the old MD assumptions
in regards to hard interrupt disablement. In STAGE-2 this will
be turned into a subroutine call into MD code rather then hardcoded
in MI code.
The new code places the burden of entering the critical section
in the trampoline code where it belongs.
* I386: interrupts are now enabled while we are in a critical section.
The interrupt vector code has been adjusted to deal with the fact.
If it detects that we are in a critical section it currently defers
the interrupt by adding the appropriate bit to an interrupt mask.
* In order to accomplish the deferral, icu_lock is required. This
is i386-specific. Thus icu_lock can only be obtained by mainline
i386 code while interrupts are hard disabled. This change has been
made.
* Because interrupts may or may not be hard disabled during a
context switch, cpu_switch() can no longer simply assume that
PSL_I will be in a consistent state. Therefore, it now saves and
restores eflags.
* FAST INTERRUPT PROVISION. Fast interrupts are currently deferred.
The intention is to eventually allow them to operate either while
we are in a critical section or, if we are able to restrict the
use of sched_lock, while we are not holding the sched_lock.
* ICU and APIC vector assembly for I386 cleaned up. The ICU code
has been cleaned up to match the APIC code in regards to format
and macro availability. Additionally, the code has been adjusted
to deal with deferred interrupts.
* Deferred interrupts use a per-cpu boolean int_pending, and
masks ipending, spending, and fpending. Being per-cpu variables
it is not currently necessary to lock; bus cycles modifying them.
Note that the same mechanism will enable preemption to be
incorporated as a true software interrupt without having to
further hack up the critical nesting code.
* Note: the old critical_enter() code in kern/kern_switch.c is
currently #ifdef to be compatible with both the old and new
methodology. In STAGE-2 it will be moved entirely to MD code.
Performance issues:
One of the purposes of this commit is to enhance critical section
performance, specifically to greatly reduce bus overhead to allow
the critical section code to be used to protect per-cpu caches.
These caches, such as Jeff's slab allocator work, can potentially
operate very quickly making the effective savings of the new
critical section code's performance very significant.
The second purpose of this commit is to allow architectures to
enable certain interrupts while in a critical section. Specifically,
the intention is to eventually allow certain FAST interrupts to
operate rather then defer.
The third purpose of this commit is to begin to clean up the
critical_enter()/critical_exit()/cpu_critical_enter()/
cpu_critical_exit() API which currently has serious cross pollution
in MI code (in fork_exit() and ast() for example).
The fourth purpose of this commit is to provide a framework that
allows kernel-preempting software interrupts to be implemented
cleanly. This is currently used for two forward interrupts in I386.
Other architectures will have the choice of using this infrastructure
or building the functionality directly into critical_enter()/
critical_exit().
Finally, this commit is designed to greatly improve the flexibility
of various architectures to manage critical section handling,
software interrupts, preemption, and other highly integrated
architecture-specific details.

- ranged TLB shootdowns.. eg: specify a range of pages to shoot down with
a single IPI, since the IPI is very expensive. Adjust some callers
that used to trigger this inside tight loops to do a ranged shootdown
at the end instead.
- PG_G support for SMP on i386 (options ENABLE_PG_G)
- defer PG_G activation till after we decide what we are going to do with
PSE and the 4MB pages at the start of the kernel. This should solve
some rumored strangeness about stale PG_G entries getting stuck
underneath the 4MB pages.
- add some instrumentation for the fine TLB shootdown
- convert some asm instruction wrappers from functions to inlines. gcc
seems to do a fair bit better with this.
- [temporarily!] pessimize the tlb shootdown IPI handlers. I will fix
this again shortly.
This has been working fairly well for me for a while, but I have tweaked
