- Change the apm driver to match the acpi driver's behavior by checking to

Note that a few places (ips(4), Alpha SMP) used "disable" instead of
"disabled" for their hint names, and these hints must be changed to

changed to honor both names.

Previously, bzero was a function pointer on i386, to save a jmp to
bzero_vector. Get rid of this microoptimization as it only confuses
things, adds machine-dependent code to an MD header, and doesn't really
save all that much.

as it could be and can do with some more cleanup. Currently its under
options LAZY_SWITCH. What this does is avoid %cr3 reloads for short
context switches that do not involve another user process. ie: we can
take an interrupt, switch to a kthread and return to the user without
explicitly flushing the tlb. However, this isn't as exciting as it could
be, the interrupt overhead is still high and too much blocks on Giant
still. There are some debug sysctls, for stats and for an on/off switch.
The main problem with doing this has been "what if the process that you're
running on exits while we're borrowing its address space?" - in this case
we use an IPI to give it a kick when we're about to reclaim the pmap.
Its not compiled in unless you add the LAZY_SWITCH option. I want to fix a
few more things and get some more feedback before turning it on by default.
This is NOT a replacement for Bosko's lazy interrupt stuff. This was more
meant for the kthread case, while his was for interrupts. Mine helps a
little for interrupts, but his helps a lot more.
The stats are enabled with options SWTCH_OPTIM_STATS - this has been a
pseudo-option for years, I just added a bunch of stuff to it.
One non-trivial change was to select a new thread before calling
cpu_switch() in the first place. This allows us to catch the silly
case of doing a cpu_switch() to the current process. This happens
uncomfortably often. This simplifies a bit of the asm code in cpu_switch
(no longer have to call choosethread() in the middle). This has been
implemented on i386 and (thanks to jake) sparc64. The others will come
soon. This is actually seperate to the lazy switch stuff.

where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove

- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.
I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.

Add a void *cn_arg element to struct consdev which the drivers can use

statclock based on profhz when profiling is enabled MD, since most platforms
don't use this anyway. This removes the need for statclock_process, whose
only purpose was to subdivide profhz, and gets the profiling clock running
outside of sched_lock on platforms that implement suswintr.
Also changed the interface for starting and stopping the profiling clock to
do just that, instead of changing the rate of statclock, since they can now
be separate.

The correct range is [1...7] with Sunday=1, but we have been writing
[0...6] with Sunday=0.
The Soekris computers flagged the zero, zapped the date, so if you
rebooted your soekris on a sunday, it would come up with a wrong
date.
Bruce has a more extensive rework of this code, but we will stick with
the minimalist fix for now.

2. Update a comment. We now restore much more than RTC updates and
interrupts.
3. Order change. Stop interrupts by writing to RTC_STATUSB,
restore rate bits for the interrupts by writing to RTC_STATUSA,
then enable interrupts again.
This seems to be done perfectly backwards in startrtclock().
Otherwise, the idea for this change was obtained from
startrtclock().
4. Don't stop the clock (RTCB_HALT). We only program some control bits
and don't want to stop the clock.
5. (Not really related.) Add caveats to the comment about timer_restore().
The update is non-atomic since locking is not done.
On locking:
6. rtcin() and writertc() are locked() adequately by splhigh() in RELENG_4,
but this locking is null in -current.
7. Doing things in the correct order in (3) combined with (6) is probably
enough locking for rtcrestore() in RELENG_4. In -current, the
writertc()'s race with rtcintr() unless the BIOS disables RTC interrupts.

Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media

It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)

- It actually works this time, honest!
- Fine grained TLB shootdowns for SMP on i386. IPI's are very expensive,
so try and optimize things where possible.
- Introduce ranged shootdowns that can be done as a single IPI.
- PG_G support for i386
- Specific-cpu targeted shootdowns. For example, there is no sense in
globally purging the TLB cache for where we are stealing a page from
the local unshared process on the local cpu. Use pm_active to track
this.
- Add some instrumentation for the tlb shootdown code.
- Rip out SMP code from <machine/cpufunc.h>
- Try and fix some very bogus PG_G and PG_PS interactions that were bad
enough to cause vm86 bios calls to break. vm86 depended on our existing
bugs and this was the cause of the VESA panics last time.
- Fix the silly one-line error that caused the 'panic: bad pte' last time.
- Fix a couple of other silly one-line errors that should have caused more
pain than they did.
Some more work is needed:
- pmap_{zero,copy}_page[_idle]. These can be done without IPI's if we
have a hook in cpu_switch.
- The IPI handlers need some cleanup. I have a bogus %ds load that can
be avoided.
- APTD handling is rather bogus and appears to be a large source of
global TLB IPI shootdowns for no really good reason.
I see speedups of between 1.5% and ~4% on buildworlds in a while 1 loop.
I expect to see a bigger difference when there is significant pageout
activity or the system otherwise has memory shortages.
I have backed out a few optimizations that I had been using over the last
few days in order to be a little more conservative. I'll revisit these
again over the next few days as the dust settles.
New option: DISABLE_PG_G - In case I missed something.
