users to guarantee that the output of DTrace scripts will be time-ordered.
This option is enabled by adding the line
#pragma D option temporal
to the beginning of a script, or by adding '-x temporal' to the arguments of
dtrace(1).
This change fixes a bug in the original port of the temporal option. This
bug was causing some assertions to fail, so they had been disabled; in this
revision the assertions are working properly and are enabled.
The DTrace version number has been bumped from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1 to reflect
the language change that's being introduced.
This change corresponds to part of illumos-gate commit e5803b76927480:

This issue would be silent most of the time, but if the requested memory

would lead to a kernel page fault.
Otherwise, the unlucky last type would just be inaccessible.

The FBT module can likely be factored into 3 separate files: common,
intel, and powerpc, rather than duplicating most of the code between
the x86 and PowerPC flavors.
All DTrace modules for PowerPC will be MFC'd together once Fasttrap is
completed.
- Use spinlock_enter()/spinlock_exit() to prevent a thread holding a
debug lock from being preempted to prevent other threads waiting
on that lock from starvation.
- Handle the possibility of CPU migration in between the fetch of curcpu
and the call to spinlock_enter() by saving curcpu in a local variable.
- Use memory barriers to prevent reordering of loads and stores of the
data protected by the lock outside of the critical section
- Eliminate false sharing of the locks by moving them into the structures
that they protect and aligning them to a cacheline boundary.
- Record the owning thread in the lock to make debugging future problems
easier.

I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different

Although in practice compilers seem to generate only cs-prefix for use

loaded and unloaded, also have sdt.ko register callbacks with kern_sdt.c
that will be called when a newly loaded KLD module adds more probes or
a module with probes is unloaded.
This fixes two issues: first, if a module with SDT probes was loaded after
sdt.ko was loaded, those new probes would not be available in DTrace.
Second, if a module with SDT probes was unloaded while sdt.ko was loaded,
the kernel would panic the next time DTrace had cause to try and do
anything with the no-longer-existent probes.
This makes it possible to create SDT probes in KLD modules, although there
are still two caveats: first, any SDT probes in a KLD module must be part
of a DTrace provider that is defined in that module. At present DTrace
only destroys probes when the provider is destroyed, so you can still
panic the system if a KLD module creates new probes in a provider from a
different module(including the kernel) and then unload the the first module.
Second, the system will panic if you unload a module containing SDT probes
while there is an active D script that has enabled those probes.

certain instructions in a function prologue or epilogue. DTrace has a
hook into the invalid opcode fault handler that checks whether the fault
was due to an probe and if so, runs the DTrace magic.
Upon returning from an invalid opcode fault caused by a probe, DTrace must
emulate the instruction that was replaced with the invalid opcode and then
return control to the instruction following the invalid opcode.
There were a pair of related bugs in the emulation for the leave
instruction. The leave instruction is used to pop off a stack frame prior
to returning from a function. The emulation for this instruction must
move the trap frame for the invalid opcode fault down the stack to the
bottom of the stack frame that is being removed, and then execute an iret.
At two points in this process, the emulation code was storing values above
the current value of the stack pointer. This opened up a window in which
if we were two take an interrupt, the trap frame for the interrupt would
overwrite the values stored on the stack, causing the system to panic
later.
The first bug was that at one point the emulation code saves the new value
for $esp above the current stack pointer value. The fix is to save this
value instead inside of the original trap frame. At this point we do
not need the original trap frame so this is safe.
The second bug is that when the emulate code loads $esp from the stack, it
points part-way through the new trap frame instead of at its beginning.
The emulation code adjusts the stack pointer to the correct value
immediately afterwards, but this still leaves a one instruction window in
which an interrupt would corrupt this trap frame. Fix this by adjusting
the stack frame value before loading it into $esp.
This fixes panics in invop_leave on i386 when using fbt return probes.

cpuset_t objects.
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
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.

safer for i386 because it can be easily over 4 GHz now. More worse, it can
be easily changed by user with 'machdep.tsc_freq' tunable (directly) or
cpufreq(4) (indirectly). Note it is intentionally not used in performance
critical paths to avoid performance regression (but we should, in theory).
Alternatively, we may add "virtual TSC" with lower frequency if maximum
frequency overflows 32 bits (and ignore possible incoherency as we do now).
Add systrace_linux32 and systrace_freebsd32 modules which provide
support for tracing compat system calls in addition to native system
call tracing provided by systrace module.
Provided that all the systrace modules are loaded now you can select
what syscalls to trace in the following manner:
syscall::xxx:yyy - work on all system calls that match the specification
syscall:freebsd:xxx:yyy - only native system calls
syscall:linux32:xxx:yyy - linux32 compat system calls
syscall:freebsd32:xxx:yyy - freebsd32 compat system calls on amd64

In this case we call target function only on a single CPU and do not
need any synchronization at the setup stage.
It's a bit non-obvious but setup function of NULL means that
smp_rendezvous_cpus waits for all CPUs to arrive at the rendezvous
point, but without doing any actual setup. While using
smp_no_rendevous_barrier means that each CPU proceeds on its own
schedule without any synchronization whatsoever.

The dealock was caused in the following way:
- thread T1 on CPU C1 holds a spin mutex, IPIs CPU C2 and waits for the
IPI to be handled
- C2 executes timer interrupt filter, thus has interrupts disabled, and
gets blocked on the spin mutex held by T1
The problem seems to have been introduced by simplifications made to
OpenSolaris code during porting.
The problem is fixed by reorganizing the code to more closely resemble
the upstream version. Interrupt filter (cyclic_fire) now doesn't
acquire any locks, all per-CPU data accesses are performed on a
target CPU with preemption and interrupts disabled thus precluding
concurrent access to the data.
cyp_mtx spin mutex is used to disable preemtion and interrupts; it's not
used for classical mutual exclusion, because xcall already serializes
calls to a CPU. It's an emulation of OpenSolaris
cyb_set_level(CY_HIGH_LEVEL) call, the spin mutexes could probably be
reduced to just a spinlock_enter()/_exit() pair.
Diff with upstream version is now reduced by ~500 lines, however it still
remains quite large - many things that are not needed (at the moment) or
are irrelevant on FreeBSD were simply ripped out during porting.
Examples of such things:
- support for CPU onlining/offlining
- support for suspend/resume
- support for running callouts at soft interrupt levels
- support for callout rebinding from CPU to CPU
- support for CPU partitions

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

Currently dtrace_gethrtime uses formula similar to the following for
converting TSC ticks to nanoseconds:
rdtsc() * 10^9 / tsc_freq
The dividend overflows 64-bit type and wraps-around every 2^64/10^9 =
18446744073 ticks which is just a few seconds on modern machines.
Now we instead use precalculated scaling factor of
10^9*2^N/tsc_freq < 2^32 and perform TSC value multiplication separately
for each 32-bit half. This allows to avoid overflow of the dividend
described above.
The idea is taken from OpenSolaris.
This has an added feature of always scaling TSC with invariant value
regardless of TSC frequency changes. Thus the timestamps will not be
accurate if TSC actually changes, but they are always proportional to
TSC ticks and thus monotonic. This should be much better than current
formula which produces wildly different non-monotonic results on when
tsc_freq changes.
Also drop write-only 'cp' variable from amd64 dtrace_gethrtime_init()
to make it identical to the i386 twin.
