a set of helper routines to deal with real-time clocks. The generic
functions access the clock diver using a kobj interface. This is intended
to reduce code reduplication and make it easy to support more than one
clock model on a single architecture.
This code is currently only used on sparc64, but it is planned to convert
the code of the other architectures to it later.
Unfortunately, this level doesn't really provide enough granularity. We
probably need several MI NOTES type files for things that are shared by
several architectures but not by all. For example, the PCI options could
live in a NOTES.pci.
This also updates the Makefile for i386 to generate LINT. The only changes
in the generated LINT are the order of various options.
Suggestions for improvement welcome.
following sysctl variables:
debug.mutex.prof.enable enable / disable profiling
debug.mutex.prof.acquisitions number of mutex acquisitions recorded
debug.mutex.prof.records number of acquisition points recorded
debug.mutex.prof.maxrecords max number of acquisition points
debug.mutex.prof.rejected number of rejections (due to full table)
debug.mutex.prof.hashsize hash size
debug.mutex.prof.collisions number of hash collisions
debug.mutex.prof.stats profiling statistics
The code records four numbers for each acquisition point (identified by
source file name and line number): longest time held, total time held,
number of non-recursive acquisitions, average time held. The measurements
are in clock cycles (as returned by get_cyclecount(9)); this may cause
measurements on some SMP systems to be unreliable. This can probably be
worked around by replacing get_cyclecount(9) by some incarnation of
nanotime(9).
This work was derived from initial patches by eivind.
dump the trace buffer feasible.
- Remove KTR_EXTEND. This changes the format of the trace entries when
activated, making writing a userland tool which is not tied to a specific
kernel configuration difficult.
- Use get_cyclecount() for timestamps. nanotime() is much too heavy weight
and requires recursion protection due to ktr traces occuring as a result
of ktr traces. KTR_VERBOSE may still require recursion protection, which
is now conditional on it.
- Allow KTR_CPU to be overridden by MD code. This is so that it is possible
to trace early in startup before pcpu and/or curthread are setup.
- Add a version number for the ktr interface. A userland tool can check this
to detect mismatches.
- Use an array for the parameters to make decoding in userland easier.
- Add file and line recording to the non-extended traces now that the extended
version is no more.
These changes will break gdb macros to decode the extended version of the
trace buffer which are floating around. Users of these macros should either
use the show ktr command in ddb, or use the userland utility which can be run
on a core dump.

cpu_critical_fork_exit(). Cleanup the td_savecrit field by moving it
from MI to MD. Temporarily move cpu_critical*() from <arch>/include/cpufunc.h
to <arch>/<arch>/critical.c (stage-2 will clean this up).
Implement interrupt deferral for i386 that allows interrupts to remain
enabled inside critical sections. This also fixes an IPI interlock bug,
and requires uses of icu_lock to be enclosed in a true interrupt disablement.
This is the stage-1 commit. Stage-2 will occur after stage-1 has stabilized,
and will move cpu_critical*() into its own header file(s) + other things.
This commit may break non-i386 architectures in trivial ways. This should

The detection code in this method is written so that it should work on

We still need an endian-agnostic ufs/ffs before this is really
interresting, but the main focus was to get sparc64 onto the GEOM
trail.
The stat() and open() calls have been changed to make use of this new functionality. Using shared locks in
these cases is sufficient and can significantly reduce their latency if IO is pending to these vnodes. Also,
this reduces the number of exclusive locks that are floating around in the system, which helps reduce the
number of deadlocks that occur.
A new kernel option "LOOKUP_SHARED" has been added. It defaults to off so this patch can be turned on for
testing, and should eventually go away once it is proven to be stable. I have personally been running this
patch for over a year now, so it is believed to be fully stable.

and commenting of NETSMB, NETWMBCRYPTO, and SMBFS. In NOTES, they

the dependencies.
This makes other power-management system (APM for now) to be able to
generate power profile change events (ie. AC-line status changes), and
other kernel components, not only the ACPI components, can be notified
the events.
- move subroutines in acpi_powerprofile.c (removed) to kern/subr_power.c
- call power_profile_set_state() also from APM driver when AC-line
status changes
- add call-back function for Crusoe LongRun controlling on power
profile changes for a example
device drivers for bus system with other endinesses than the CPU (using
interfaces compatible to NetBSD):
- bwap16() and bswap32(). These have optimized implementations on some
architectures; for those that don't, there exist generic implementations.
- macros to convert from a certain byte order to host byte order and vice
versa, using a naming scheme like le16toh(), htole16().
These are implemented using the bswap functions.
- stream bus space access functions, which do not perform a byte order
conversion (while the normal access functions would if the bus endianess
differs from the CPU endianess).
htons(), htonl(), ntohs() and ntohl() are implemented using the new
functions above for kernel usage. None of the above interfaces is currently
exported to user land.
Make use of the new functions in a few places where local implementations
of the same functionality existed.

There is some unresolved badness that has been eluding me, particularly
affecting uniprocessor kernels. Turning off PG_G helped (which is a bad
sign) but didn't solve it entirely. Userland programs still crashed.
on for a while:
- fine grained TLB shootdown for SMP on i386
- 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
it again prior to commit since my last major testing round. The only
outstanding problem that I know of is PG_G related, which is why there
is an option for it (not on by default for SMP). I have seen a world
speedups by a few percent (as much as 4 or 5% in one case) but I have
*not* accurately measured this - I am a bit sceptical of these numbers.
- fix the warnings, they are there for a reason!
- add -DNO_ERROR to your make(1) command.
- add 'makeoptions NO_WERROR=true' to your kernel config.
- add 'nowerror' to conf/files* that have warnings that should be fixed
due to tracking 3rd party vendor code.
- add 'nowerror' to conf/files* where the warning is false due to a
compiler bug and fixing it with brute force would be too expensive.
There are some very sloppy warnings in our kernel build, come on folks!
'make release' uses -DNO_WERROR intentionally.

There is another instance of CFILES which might need the same treatment,
and might be noticed when doing a "make links".
The same has to be done in RELENG_4 (on some different file).

It doesn't actually do it yet though. This adds a flag to config so
that we can exclude certain vendor files from this even when the rest
of the kernel has it on. make -DNO_WERROR would also bypass all of it.
