correctly. We now iterate the EFI memory descriptors once and collect all
the information in a single pass. This includes:
1. The I/O port base address,
2. The PAL memory region. Have the physmem API track this.
3. Memory descriptors of memory we can't use, like bad memory, runtime
services code & data, etc. Have the physmem API track these.
4. memory descriptors of memory we can use or re-use, such as free
memory, boot time services code & data, loader code & data, etc.
These are added by the physmem API.
Since the PBVM page table and pages are in memory described as loader
data, inform the physmem API of chunks that need to be delated from the
available physical memory.
While here, remove Maxmem and replace it with the better named paddr_max.
Maxmem was defined as physmem, which is generally wrong. Now, paddr_max
is properly defined as the largesty physical address.
The upshot of all this is that:
1. We properly determine realmem.
2. We maximize physmem by re-using memory where possible.
3. We remove complexity from ia64_init() in machdep.c.
4. Remove confusion about realmem, physmem & Maxmem.
The new ia64_physmem_alloc() is to replace pmap_steal_memory() in pmap.c,
as well as replace the handcrafted allocation of the VHPT for the BSP in
pmap_bootstrap() in pmap.c. This is step 2 and addresses the manipulation
of phys_avail after it is being created.
This is required for ARM EABI. Section 7.1.1 of the Procedure Call for the
ARM Architecture (AAPCS) defines wchar_t as either an unsigned int or an
unsigned short with the former preferred.
Because of this requirement we need to move the definition of __wchar_t to
a machine dependent header. It also cleans up the macros defining the limits
of wchar_t by defining __WCHAR_MIN and __WCHAR_MAX in the same machine
dependent header then using them to define WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX
respectively.

usermode, using shared page. The structures and functions have vdso
prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.
The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also
provided. Kernel also provides usermode with indication about
currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.
The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.
Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.
Minimal stubs neccessary for non-x86 architectures to still compile
are provided.

Currently i386 and amd64 implement the ieeefp.h interface for
compatibility, and for fp[gs]etprec(), which doesn't exist on
most other hardware. Powerpc, sparc64, and ia64 partially implement
it and probably shouldn't, and other architectures don't implement it

either a region 6 address (for UC) or a region 7 address (for WB).
This change is only now possible, because previously we would map
regions 6 and 7 with 256MB translations and on top of that had the
kernel mapped in region 7 using a wired translation. The introduction
of the PBVM moved the kernel into its own region and freed up region
7 and allowed us to revert to standard page-sized translations.

We can only have 240 XIVs and we can have more CPUs than that. There's

That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now

Use the new arch_loadseg I/F to keep track of kernel text and
data so that we can wire as much of it as is possible. It is
the responsibility of the kernel to link critical (read IVT
related) code and data at the front of the respective segment
so that it's covered by TRs before the kernel has a chance to
add more translations.
Use a better way of determining whether we're loading a legacy
kernel or not. We can't check for the presence of the PBVM page
table, because we may have unloaded that kernel and loaded an
older (legacy) kernel after that. Simply use the latest load
address for it.
services or PAL procedures. The new implementation is based on
specific functions that are known to be called in certain scenarios
only. This in particular fixes the PAL call to obtain information
about translation registers. In general, the new implementation does
not bank on virtual addresses being direct-mapped and will work when
the kernel uses PBVM.
When new scenarios need to be supported, new functions are added if
the existing functions cannot be changed to handle the new scenario.
If a single generic implementation is possible, it will become clear
in due time.
While here, change bootinfo to a pointer type in anticipation of

1. The PBVM is in region 4, so if we want to make use of it, we
need region 4 freed up.
2. Region 4 and above cannot be represented by an off_t by virtue
of that type being signed. This is problematic for truss(1),
ktrace(1) and other such programs.
Add support for Pre-Boot Virtual Memory (PBVM) to the loader.
PBVM allows us to link the kernel at a fixed virtual address without
having to make any assumptions about the physical memory layout. On
the SGI Altix 350 for example, there's no usuable physical memory
below 192GB. Also, the PBVM allows us to control better where we're
going to physically load the kernel and its modules so that we can
make sure we load the kernel in memory that's close to the BSP.
The PBVM is managed by a simple page table. The minimum size of the
page table is 4KB (EFI page size) and the maximum is currently set
to 1MB. A page in the PBVM is 64KB, as that's the maximum alignment
one can specify in a linker script. The bottom line is that PBVM is
between 64KB and 8GB in size.
The loader maps the PBVM page table at a fixed virtual address and
using a single translations. The PBVM itself is also mapped using a
single translation for a maximum of 32MB.
While here, increase the heap in the EFI loader from 512KB to 2MB
and set the stage for supporting relocatable modules.
The compiler seems to assume it's a 32-bit integral and rounding to the
page size using the standard expression (((u_long)(x) + mask) & ~mask),
results in a 32-bit value. Dropping the 'U' suffix is enough to have the
compiler treat the expression as a 64-bit integral.

o Put the IVT in its own section and keep the supporting code close.
o Make sure the VHPT is sized so that it can be mapped using a single
translation.
o Map the PAL code and VHPT with a translation that has the right size.
Assume the platform has a PAL code size that can be mapped with a

o Pass the pointer to the bootinfo structure as an argument to ia64_init().
o Get rid of LOG2_ID_PAGE_SIZE and IA64_ID_PAGE_SIZE. It was used to map
the regions 6 & 7 and was as large as possible. The problem is that we
can't support memory attributes easily if the granuratity is not a page.
We need to support memory attributes because the new USB stack violates
the BUS_DMA(9) interface.
o Update some comments...
NOTE: this is broken for SMP kernels, because the AP startup code hasn't
been updated yet.
o The bootinfo structure is now a virtual pointer.
o Replace VM_MAX_ADDRESS with VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS and redefine
VM_MAX_ADDRESS as the maximum address possible (~0UL).
o Since we're not using direct-mapped translations, switching
to physical addressing is less trivial. Reserve the boot stack
for running in physical mode and special-case the EFI call,
as we're still on the boot stack.
o Region 4 belongs to the kernel now, not process space.
o Move the backing store in the top half of region 0 now that
region 4 is re-assigned to be part of the kernel.
o De-emphasize VM_MAX_ADDRESS. It's really not used anywhere and probably
means something different than the limit for process address space (we
have VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS for that).
o Exclude the gateway page from VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS (i.e. make it the same
as VM_MAX_ADDRESS).

On some architectures UCHAR_MAX and USHRT_MAX had type unsigned int.
However, lacking integer suffixes for types smaller than int, their type
should correspond to that of an object of type unsigned char (or short)
when used in an expression with objects of type int. In that case unsigned
char (short) are promoted to int (i.e. signed) so the type of UCHAR_MAX and
USHRT_MAX should also be int.
Where MIN/MAX constants implicitly have the correct type the suffix has
