to add PV list locking to pmap_pv_demote_pde(), it is necessary to change
the way that pmap_pv_demote_pde() allocates PV entries. Specifically,
once pmap_pv_demote_pde() begins modifying the PV lists, it can't allocate
any new PV chunks, because that could require the PV list lock to be
dropped. So, all necessary PV chunks must be allocated in advance. To my
surprise, this new approach is a few percent faster than the old one.
usermode, using shared page. The structures and functions have vdso
prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.
The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also
provided. Kernel also provides usermode with indication about
currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.
The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.
Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.
Minimal stubs neccessary for non-x86 architectures to still compile
are provided.

this list to select pv entries for reclamation.
Note: The old pmap_collect() tried to avoid reclaiming mappings for pages
that have either a hold_count or a busy field that is non-zero. However,
this isn't necessary for correctness, and the locking in pmap_collect() was
insufficient to guarantee that such mappings weren't reclaimed. The new

Design decissions:
- use "linuxulator" as the provider for the native bitsize; add the
bitsize for the non-native emulation (e.g. "linuxuator32" on amd64)
- Add probes only for locks which are acquired in one function and released
in another function. Locks which are aquired and released in the same
function should be easy to pair in the code, inter-function
locking is more easy to verify in DTrace.
- Probes for locks should be fired after locking and before releasing to
prevent races (to provide data/function stability in DTrace, see the
man-page of "dtrace -v ..." and the corresponding DTrace docs).
intr_bind() on x86.
This has been requested by jhb and I strongly disagree with this,
but as long as he is the x86 and interrupt subsystem maintainer I will
follow his directives.
The disagreement cames from what we should really consider as a
public KPI. IMHO, if we really need a selection between the kernel
functions, we may need an explicit protection like _KERNEL_KPI, which
defines which subset of the kernel function might really be considered
as part of the KPI (for thirdy part modules) and which not.
As long as we don't have this mechanism I just consider any possible
function as usable by thirdy part code, thus intr_bind() included.

an uncorrected ECC error tends to fire on all CPUs in a package

the messages legible. Instead, use the existing mca_lock spinlock to
serialize calls to mca_log() and change the machine check code to panic
directly when an unrecoverable error is encoutered rather than falling

bridges. Rather than blindly enabling the windows on all of them, only
enable the window when an MSI interrupt is enabled for a device behind
the bridge, similar to what already happens for HT PCI-PCI bridges.
To implement this, each x86 Host-PCI bridge driver has to be able to
locate it's actual backing device on bus 0. For ACPI, use the _ADR
method to find the slot and function of the device. For the non-ACPI
case, the legacy(4) driver already scans bus 0 looking for Host-PCI
bridge devices. Now it saves the slot and function of each bridge that
it finds as ivars that the Host-PCI bridge driver can then use in its
pcib_map_msi() method.
This fixes machines where non-MSI interrupts were broken by the previous
round of HT MSI changes.

When access restrictions are added to a page table entry, we flush the
corresponding virtual address mapping from the TLB. In contrast, when
access restrictions are removed from a page table entry, we do not
flush the virtual address mapping from the TLB. This is exactly as
recommended in AMD's documentation. In effect, when access
restrictions are removed from a page table entry, AMD's MMUs will
transparently refresh a stale TLB entry. In short, this saves us from
having to perform potentially costly TLB flushes. In contrast,
Intel's MMUs are allowed to generate a spurious page fault based upon
the stale TLB entry. Usually, such spurious page faults are handled
by vm_fault() without incident. However, when we are executing
no-fault sections of the kernel, we are not allowed to execute
vm_fault(). This change introduces special-case handling for spurious
page faults that occur in no-fault sections of the kernel.
