halt state that minimizes power consumption while still preserving
cache and TLB coherency. Halting the processor is not conditional at
this time. Tested with UP and SMP kernels.

Xcpustop(). %es is used in at least the call to savectx() when savectx()
calls bcopy(), so not loading it was fatal if a stop IPI interrupts
user mode.
This reduces bugs starting and stopping CPUs for debuggers. CPUs are
stopped mainly in kdb_trap() and cpu_reset(). At reset time there is
a good chance that all the CPUs are in the kernel, so the bug was
probably harmless then.
classes and if a method is not found in a given class, its base classes
are searched (in the order they were declared). This search is recursive,
i.e. a method may be define in a base class of a base class.
* Change the kobj method lookup algorithm to one which is SMP-safe. This
relies only on the constraint that an observer of a sequence of writes
of pointer-sized values will see exactly one of those values, not a
mixture of two or more values. This assumption holds for all processors
which FreeBSD supports.
* Add locking to kobj class initialisation.
* Add a simpler form of 'inheritance' for devclasses. Each devclass can
have a parent devclass. Searches for drivers continue up the chain of
devclasses until either a matching driver is found or a devclass is
reached which has no parent. This can allow, for instance, pci drivers
to match cardbus devices (assuming that cardbus declares pci as its
parent devclass).
* Increment __FreeBSD_version.
This preserves the driver API entirely except for one minor feature used
by the ISA compatibility shims. A workaround for ISA compatibility will
be committed separately. The kobj and newbus ABI has changed - all modules
must be recompiled.
rounding errors. This was the source of the majority of the
interactivity problems. Reintroduce the old algorithm and its XXX.
- Up the interactivity threshold to 30. It really could stand to be even
a tiny bit higher.
- Let the sleep and run time accumulate up to 5 seconds of history rather
than two. This helps stop XFree86 from becoming non-interactive during
bursts of activity.
trashed after being freed. This has caused several panics including
kern/42277 related to soft updates. Jim Kuhn tracked the problem
down to ipfw limit rule processing. In the expiry of dynamic rules,
it is possible for an O_LIMIT_PARENT rule to be removed when it still
has live children. When the children eventually do expire, a pointer
to the (long gone) parent is dereferenced and a count decremented.
Since this memory can, and is, allocated for other purposes (in the
case of kern/42277 an inodedep structure), chaos ensues. The offset
in question in inodedep is the offset of the 16 bit count field in
the ipfw2 ipfw_dyn_rule.

This is for all I know the final API for this functionality, but
the locking semantics for messing with the filedescriptor from
the device driver are not settled at this time.

this is a bus dependent code. But the ed driver code is not
separated explicitly whether it is bus dependent or independent
now.

- vm_fault_copy_entry() should not set the PG_WRITEABLE flag on the page
unless the destination entry is, in fact, writeable.
elevated either due to priority propagation or because we're in the
kernel in either case, put us on the current queue so that we dont
stop others from using important resources. At some point the priority
elevations from sleeping in the kernel should go away.
- Remove an optimization in sched_userret(). Before we would only set
NEEDRESCHED if there was something of a higher priority available. This
is a trivial optimization and it breaks priority propagation because it
doesn't take threads which we may be blocking into account. Notice that
the thread which is blocking others gets up to one tick of cpu time before
we honor this NEEDRESCHED in sched_clock().
lock around a call to the original function. Make the timeout
function in callout_reset() use the wrapped function to avoid a
lock assertion panic.

sigreturn() ABI and the signal context on the stack.
Make the trapframe (and its shadows in the ucontext and sigframe etc)
8 bytes larger in order to preserve 16 byte stack alignment for the
following C code calls. I could have done some padding after the
trapframe was saved, but some of the C code still expects an argument of
'struct trapframe'. Anyway, this gives me a spare field that can be used
to store things like 'partial trapframe' status or something else in
the future.
The runtime impact is fairly small, *except* for threaded apps and things
that decode contexts and the signal stack (eg: cvsup binary). Signal
delivery isn't too badly affected because the kernel generates the
sigframe that sigreturn uses after the handler has been called.
The size of mcontext_t and struct sigframe hasn't changed. Only
the last few fields (sc_eip etc) got moved a little and I eliminated
a spare field. mc_len/sc_len did change location though so the
sanity checks there will still trap it.
