FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
update of cpu usage as shown by top when one process is cpu bound
(no system calls) while the system is otherwise idle (except for top).
Don't attempt to switch to the BSP in boot(). If the system was idle when
an interrupt caused a panic, this won't work. Instead, switch to the BSP
in cpu_reset.
Remove some spurious forward_statclock/forward_hardclock warnings.
possibly non-open devices, and we don't want to restrict dumping
to swap devices anwyay. It is especially invalid to call d_ioctl()
in non-process context for panics. d_psize() can be called on
non-open devices, at least on non-SLICED ones that support d_dump(),
and setdumpdev() has depended on this for a long time although it
is probably wrong, but even d_psize() can't be called in non-process
context - that's why dumpsys() depends on previously computed values
although these values may be stale. The historical restriction to
devices with dkpart(dev) == SWAP_PART should go away.
this results in a few functions becoming static, and
the SYSINITs being close to the code they are related to.
setting up the dump device is with dumpsys() and
kicking off the scheduler is with the scheduler.
Mounting root is with the code that does it.

it in struct proc instead.
This fixes a boatload of compiler warning, and removes a lot of cruft
from the sources.
I have not removed the /*ARGSUSED*/, they will require some looking at.
libkvm, ps and other userland struct proc frobbing programs will need
recompiled.
smp_active = 1 used to indicate that the system had frozen previously
started AP's, while smp_active = 0 was "AP's not yet started". I have split
this into smp_started (which is set when the AP's come online), and
smp_active is left for turning on/off AP scheduling.
This eliminates a lot of #ifdef SMP type code. Things like _curproc reside
in a data page that is unique on each cpu, eliminating the expensive macros
like: #define curproc (SMPcurproc[cpunumber()])
There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is
standalone so it should be safe. The temporary code goes away when the
full idle cpu support is finished.

When a panic occurs early in the SMP boot process 'cpunumber()' hangs,
causing the panic string to be lost. Now the system appears to hang
in 'breakpoint()', but at least the user sees the panic string before the
hang.
There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
on it.
makesyscalls.sh:
This parsed $Id$. Fixed(?) to parse $FreeBSD$. The output is wrong when
the id is not expanded in the source file.
syscalls.master:
Fixed declaration of sigsuspend(). There are still some bogons and
spam involving sigset_t.
Use `struct foo *' instead of the equivalent `foo_t *' for some nfs and
lfs syscalls so that <sys/sysproto.h> doesn't depend on <sys/mount.h>.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
note that at_shutdown has a new parameter to indicate When
during a shutdown the callout should be made. also
add a RB_POWEROFF flag to reboot "howto" parameter..
tells the reboot code in our at_shutdown module to turn off the UPS
and kill the power. bound to be useful eventually on laptops
called kern_shutdown.c
note: I couldn't see anything machine dependant in the
functions boot() and dumpsys() which were in machdep.c
I have left a prototype for cpu_boot() which would go in
machdep.c, but I have nothing to put in it. Iexpect others will
let me know in no uncertain ways that this or that is machine dependant
and should be there, but I'll way for that to happen.. :)
I haven't actually taken the functions OUT of machdep
or anywhere else yet.. I'm checking in this file so others can have a look
at it and comment. SO PLEASE DO COMMENT!
I am also (in another checkin) addinf a man(9) page for the new
at_shotdown().. er freudian slip there.. at_shutdown() call
so have a look at that (and at_exit and at_fork as well)
and feed me comments..
I'll heck in the changes to make these (shutdown) changes active tomorrow
if no-one objects too strongly..
