0d2a298904 Initial landing of SMP support for FreeBSD/amd64.
- This is heavily derived from John Baldwin's apic/pci cleanup on i386.
- I have completely rewritten or drastically cleaned up some other parts.
  (in particular, bootstrap)
- This is still a WIP.  It seems that there are some highly bogus bioses
  on nVidia nForce3-150 boards.  I can't stress how broken these boards
  are.  I have a workaround in mind, but right now the Asus SK8N is broken.
  The Gigabyte K8NPro (nVidia based) is also mind-numbingly hosed.
- Most of my testing has been with SCHED_ULE.  SCHED_4BSD works.
- the apic and acpi components are 'standard'.
- If you have an nVidia nForce3-150 board, you are stuck with 'device
  atpic' in addition, because they somehow managed to forget to connect the
  8254 timer to the apic, even though its in the same silicon!  ARGH!
  This directly violates the ACPI spec.

d79ddbf5de MFi386 machdep.c rev 1.201, clock.c 1.201, clock.h 1.45 by phk: Dont
initialize a TSC timecounter until we know if it is broke or not.

XXX I think there is a bug in the i386 code here.  init_TSC_tc() comes
after:
  if (statclock_disable)
    return;

ie: if you turn off the statclock interrupt, you dont get the TSC either.

afa8862328 Commit MD parts of a loosely functional AMD64 port. This is based on
a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to
attempt to get a stable base to start from.  There is a lot missing still.
Worth noting:
- The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code.  pmap uses
  a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4
  levels of page tables yet.
- It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the
  i386 loader.  This simplifies locore.s greatly.
- There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have
  not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C
  versions of (bcopy etc).
- It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument
  passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction
  for syscalls.  int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not.
- I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple
  of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed
  %rcx register in the syscall instruction).  As a result, there is not a
  lot of similarity.  I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to
  get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.

238dd3209a Split statclock into statclock and profclock, and made the method for driving
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.

92a306a2b6 Use the correct value when writing the Day Of Week byte in the CMOS.
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.

0ebefa8c4e 1. Fix a comment. Locking _is_ needed (but not done).
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.

d74ac6819b Compromise for critical*()/cpu_critical*() recommit. Cleanup the interrupt
disablement assumptions in kern_fork.c by adding another API call,
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
be temporary.

f96ad4c223 STAGE-1 of 3 commit - allow (but do not require) interrupts to remain
enabled in critical sections and streamline critical_enter() and
critical_exit().

This commit allows an architecture to leave interrupts enabled inside
critical sections if it so wishes.  Architectures that do not wish to do
this are not effected by this change.

This commit implements the feature for the I386 architecture and provides
a sysctl, debug.critical_mode, which defaults to 1 (use the feature).  For
now you can turn the sysctl on and off at any time in order to test the
architectural changes or track down bugs.

This commit is just the first stage.  Some areas of the code, specifically
the MACHINE_CRITICAL_ENTER #ifdef'd code, is strictly temporary and will
be cleaned up in the STAGE-2 commit when the critical_*() functions are
moved entirely into MD files.

The following changes have been made:

	* critical_enter() and critical_exit() for I386 now simply increment
	  and decrement curthread->td_critnest.  They no longer disable
	  hard interrupts.  When critical_exit() decrements the counter to
	  0 it effectively calls a routine to deal with whatever interrupts
	  were deferred during the time the code was operating in a critical
	  section.

	  Other architectures are unaffected.

	* fork_exit() has been conditionalized to remove MD assumptions for
	  the new code.  Old code will still use the old MD assumptions
	  in regards to hard interrupt disablement.  In STAGE-2 this will
	  be turned into a subroutine call into MD code rather then hardcoded
	  in MI code.

	  The new code places the burden of entering the critical section
	  in the trampoline code where it belongs.

	* I386: interrupts are now enabled while we are in a critical section.
	  The interrupt vector code has been adjusted to deal with the fact.
	  If it detects that we are in a critical section it currently defers
	  the interrupt by adding the appropriate bit to an interrupt mask.

	* In order to accomplish the deferral, icu_lock is required.  This
	  is i386-specific.  Thus icu_lock can only be obtained by mainline
	  i386 code while interrupts are hard disabled.  This change has been
	  made.

	* Because interrupts may or may not be hard disabled during a
	  context switch, cpu_switch() can no longer simply assume that
	  PSL_I will be in a consistent state.  Therefore, it now saves and
	  restores eflags.

	* FAST INTERRUPT PROVISION.  Fast interrupts are currently deferred.
	  The intention is to eventually allow them to operate either while
	  we are in a critical section or, if we are able to restrict the
	  use of sched_lock, while we are not holding the sched_lock.

	* ICU and APIC vector assembly for I386 cleaned up.  The ICU code
	  has been cleaned up to match the APIC code in regards to format
	  and macro availability.  Additionally, the code has been adjusted
	  to deal with deferred interrupts.

	* Deferred interrupts use a per-cpu boolean int_pending, and
	  masks ipending, spending, and fpending.  Being per-cpu variables
	  it is not currently necessary to lock; bus cycles modifying them.

	  Note that the same mechanism will enable preemption to be
	  incorporated as a true software interrupt without having to
	  further hack up the critical nesting code.

	* Note: the old critical_enter() code in kern/kern_switch.c is
	  currently #ifdef to be compatible with both the old and new
	  methodology.  In STAGE-2 it will be moved entirely to MD code.

Performance issues:

	One of the purposes of this commit is to enhance critical section
	performance, specifically to greatly reduce bus overhead to allow
	the critical section code to be used to protect per-cpu caches.
	These caches, such as Jeff's slab allocator work, can potentially
	operate very quickly making the effective savings of the new
	critical section code's performance very significant.

	The second purpose of this commit is to allow architectures to
	enable certain interrupts while in a critical section.  Specifically,
	the intention is to eventually allow certain FAST interrupts to
	operate rather then defer.

	The third purpose of this commit is to begin to clean up the
	critical_enter()/critical_exit()/cpu_critical_enter()/
	cpu_critical_exit() API which currently has serious cross pollution
	in MI code (in fork_exit() and ast() for example).

	The fourth purpose of this commit is to provide a framework that
	allows kernel-preempting software interrupts to be implemented
	cleanly.  This is currently used for two forward interrupts in I386.
	Other architectures will have the choice of using this infrastructure
	or building the functionality directly into critical_enter()/
	critical_exit().

	Finally, this commit is designed to greatly improve the flexibility
	of various architectures to manage critical section handling,
	software interrupts, preemption, and other highly integrated
	architecture-specific details.

6caa8a1501 Overhaul of the SMP code. Several portions of the SMP kernel support have
been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made
to support Alpha SMP.

- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
  into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively.  hardclock()
  and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
  that UP systems will run as before.  For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
  to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
  main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt.  For the alpha
  4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
  we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
  functions on the secondaries.  For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
  usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
  to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
  *_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
  involve less hackery.  Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
  sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s).  AST IPIs now just basically
  return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
  astpending or needresched flags themselves.  This also removes the loop in
  forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
  around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
  a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
  implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
  header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's.   The IPI API's from
  machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
  SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
  Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.

9ed346bab0 Change and clean the mutex lock interface.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

  array are no longer needed.  We can now have an arbitrary number of
  software interrupt threads.  When you register a software interrupt
  thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
  to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
  more intuitive.  Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
  'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
  MD.

6c56727456 - Change fast interrupts on x86 to push a full interrupt frame and to
return through doreti to handle ast's.  This is necessary for the
  clock interrupts to work properly.
- Change the clock interrupts on the x86 to be fast instead of threaded.
  This is needed because both hardclock() and statclock() need to run in
  the context of the current process, not in a separate thread context.
- Kill the prevproc hack as it is no longer needed.
- We really need Giant when we call psignal(), but we don't want to block
  during the clock interrupt.  Instead, use two p_flag's in the proc struct
  to mark the current process as having a pending SIGVTALRM or a SIGPROF
  and let them be delivered during ast() when hardclock() has finished
  running.
- Remove CLKF_BASEPRI, which was #ifdef'd out on the x86 anyways.  It was
  broken on the x86 if it was turned on since cpl is gone.  It's only use
  was to bogusly run softclock() directly during hardclock() rather than
  scheduling an SWI.
- Remove the COM_LOCK simplelock and replace it with a clock_lock spin
  mutex.  Since the spin mutex already handles disabling/restoring
  interrupts appropriately, this also lets us axe all the *_intr() fu.
- Back out the hacks in the APIC_IO x86 cpu_initclocks() code to use
  temporary fast interrupts for the APIC trial.
- Add two new process flags P_ALRMPEND and P_PROFPEND to mark the pending
  signals in hardclock() that are to be delivered in ast().

1931cf940a - Heavyweight interrupt threads on the alpha for device I/O interrupts.
- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
  completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
  - The ihandlers array is now gone.  Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
    that just contains SWI handlers.
  - Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.
