lose if a process is preempted while pmap is temporarily switched to
another pmap.
* For SMP, drop the high-fp state when a thread is switched away from
so that if another cpu resumes that thread, it doesn't have to play
games with IPI to get ahold of the correct register values.
* Don't call ast() from interrupt() - if we switch, then we will miss
writing cr.eoi which will prevent the current cpu from receiving
interrupts until the current thread is resumed. The call to ast()
happens magically in exception_restore where it is safe.
* Add DDB 'show irq' command to examine interrupt hardware state.
* Use ptc.g instead of ptc.l so that TLB shootdowns are broadcast to the
coherence domain.
* Use smp_rendezvous for pmap_invalidate_all to ensure it happens on all
cpus.
* Dike out a DIAGNOSTIC printf which didn't compile.
* Protect the internals of pmap_install with cpu_critical_enter/exit.
Problem:
selwakeup required calling pfind which would cause lock order
reversals with the allproc_lock and the per-process filedesc lock.
Solution:
Instead of recording the pid of the select()'ing process into the
selinfo structure, actually record a pointer to the thread. To
avoid dereferencing a bad address all the selinfo structures that
are in use by a thread are kept in a list hung off the thread
(protected by sellock). When a selwakeup occurs the selinfo is
removed from that threads list, it is also removed on the way out
of select or poll where the thread will traverse its list removing
all the selinfos from its own list.
Problem:
Previously the PROC_LOCK was used to provide the mutual exclusion
needed to ensure proper locking, this couldn't work because there
was a single condvar used for select and poll and condvars can
only be used with a single mutex.
Solution:
Introduce a global mutex 'sellock' which is used to provide mutual
exclusion when recording events to wait on as well as performing
notification when an event occurs.
Interesting note:
schedlock is required to manipulate the per-thread TDF_SELECT
flag, however if given its own field it would not need schedlock,
also because TDF_SELECT is only manipulated under sellock one
doesn't actually use schedlock for syncronization, only to protect
against corruption.
Proc locks are no longer used in select/poll.

While doing this, move it earlier in the sysinit boot process so that the
VM system can use it.
After that, the system is now able to use sx locks instead of lockmgr
locks in the VM system. To accomplish this, some of the more
questionable uses of the locks (such as testing whether they are
owned or not, as well as allowing shared+exclusive recursion) are
removed, and simpler logic throughout is used so locks should also be
easier to understand.
This has been tested on my laptop for months, and has not shown any
problems on SMP systems, either, so appears quite safe. One more
user of lockmgr down, many more to go :)
which is initialized with whatever string a dhcp/bootp server passes
as vendor tag 134.
There is no standard tag that I know with this information, and
no vendor-defined tag that applies to FreeBSD that I could find
doing the same thing.
The intended use is to pass information to userland for run-time
configuration of a diskless client without having to run a bootp/dhcp
client for the third time (after the one in pxeboot/etherboot, and
the one in the kernel bootp), also because these clients generally
screwup the interface configuration, which is not exactly what you
want when you have your disks nfs-mounted.
Manpage update to follow soon.
MFC-after: 3 days
wait for those cpus, instead of all of them by using a count. Oops.
Make the pointer to the mask that the primary cpu spins on volatile, so
gcc doesn't optimize out an important load. Oops again.
Activate tlb shootdown ipi synchronization now that it works. We have
all involved cpus wait until all the others are done. This may not be
necessary, it is mostly for sanity.
Make the trigger level interrupt ipi handler work.

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.
