df471779ea Round tickadj up. This prevents tickadj from being 0 when HZ > 500,
which makes adjtime(2) useless and confuses xntpd(8) into refusing
to start even when it would use the kernel PLL instead of adjtime().
The result is the same as recommended by tickadj(8), at least when
HZ divides 10^6.  Of course, you wouldn't want to actually use
adjtime() when HZ is large.  In the silly boundary case of HZ == 10^6,
tickadj == tick == 1 so the clock stops while adjtime() is active.

316bbd5c6f Converted add_interrupt_randomness() to take a `void *' arg. Rewrote
mmioctl() to fix hundreds of style bugs and a few error handling bugs
(don't check for superuser privilege for inappropriate ioctls, don't
check the input arg for the output-only MEM_RETURNIRQ ioctl, and don't
return EPERM for null changes).

9a2daf9190 Changed the type of an isa/general interrupt handler to take a
`void *' arg.  Fixed or hid most of the resulting type mismatches.
Handlers can now be updated locally (except for reworking their
global declarations in isa_device.h).

f95ac73519 Use copyout() instead of bcopy() to copy the image to user space.
bcopy() caused panics under heavy paging (not quite as suspected -
the kernel stack seemed to get corrupted).

b1bf661000 [Add missing files from previous commit]
Major changes to the generic device framework for FreeBSD/alpha:

* Eliminate bus_t and make it possible for all devices to have
  attached children.

* Support dynamically extendable interfaces for drivers to replace
  both the function pointers in driver_t and bus_ops_t (which has been
  removed entirely.  Two system defined interfaces have been defined,
  'device' which is mandatory for all devices and 'bus' which is
  recommended for all devices which support attached children.

* In addition, the alpha port defines two simple interfaces 'clock'
  for attaching various real time clocks to the system and 'mcclock'
  for the many different variations of mc146818 clocks which can be
  attached to different alpha platforms.  This eliminates two more
  function pointer tables in favour of the generic method dispatch
  system provided by the device framework.

Future device interfaces may include:

* cdev and bdev interfaces for devfs to use in replacement for specfs
  and the fixed interfaces bdevsw and cdevsw.

* scsi interface to replace struct scsi_adapter (not sure how this
  works in CAM but I imagine there is something similar there).

* various tailored interfaces for different bus types such as pci,
  isa, pccard etc.

1afde994e9 Pass lists of possible root devices and their names up to the

lists instead of guessing alternative root devices in a machine-
dependent way.

autoconf.c:
Reject preposterous slice numbers instead of silently converting
them to COMPATIBILITY_SLICE.

Don't forget to force slice = COMPATIBILITY_SLICE in the floppy
device name.

Eliminated most magic numbers and magic device names in setroot().

Fixed dozens of style bugs.

vfs_conf.c:
Put the actual root device name instead of "root_device" in the
mount struct if the actual name is available.  This is useful after
booting with -s.  If it were set in all cases then it could be used
to do mount(8)'s ROOTSLICE_HUNT and fsck(8)'s hotroot guess better.

e3a03f0cfb Don't attempt to copy the whole slices "struct" for DIOCGSLICEINFO.
The slices "struct" isn't really a struct; we allocate only part of
it in the fully dangerously dedicated case.  Since the "struct" is
malloced, the page beyond it may not be mapped, so attempts to copy
it would crash.  This problem became larger when the full struct was
bloated from < 1K to > 3K by the addition of (mostly unused) DEVFS
tokens some time before 2.2.0 was released.

e796e00de3 Some cleanups related to timecounters and weird ifdefs in <sys/time.h>.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.

Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.

Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.

Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()

This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

aebde78243 1. Add new defs for mins and maxs for the POSIX flavor priorities. They
end up being the same, but it doesn't look like you're comparing
apples and oranges.

2. Use need_resched instead of reset_priority.  This isn't right
either, since for example you'll round-robin against equal priority FIFO
processes when lowering the priority of another process,
but this works better and a real fix needs to be in kern_synch and
not out here.

3. This is not a device driver: copyin/copyout the structure.

b322fb5d76 Backed out previous commit. It is invalid to call d_ioctl() on
possibly non-open devices, and we don't want to restrict dumping
to swap devices anwyay.  It is especially invalid to call d_ioctl()
in non-process context for panics.  d_psize() can be called on
non-open devices, at least on non-SLICED ones that support d_dump(),
and setdumpdev() has depended on this for a long time although it
is probably wrong, but even d_psize() can't be called in non-process
context - that's why dumpsys() depends on previously computed values
although these values may be stale.  The historical restriction to
devices with dkpart(dev) == SWAP_PART should go away.

7be2d30077 In the words of the submitter:
---------
Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it.  This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.

Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

Some NFS client testing courtesy of Patrik Kudo.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp.  vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns.  These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.

Reverse the VFS_VRELE patch.  Reference counting of vnodes does not need

Doing reference counting in generic code is also the preference cited by
John Heidemann in recent discussions with him.

The implementation of alternative vnode management per-fs is still a valid
requirement for some filesystems but will be revisited sometime later,
most likely using a different framework.

37b8ccd37a In vfs_msync(), test to see if the vnode being examined is "interesting"
(ie: it has a vm_object attached and is marked as OBJ_MIGHTBEDIRTY) before
attempting to lock it.  This should reduce the cpu hit that is incurred
when doing a sync(2) and when the syncer process is doing the 30-second
writeback of dirty mmap() data to disk.  Skip this speedup if we are
doing an unmount() to be sure to get everything - we can afford to
occasionally miss a msync while the system is running, but not at unmount.

I'm not sure about the VXLOCK and MNT_WAIT case, it seems a bit odd to skip
doing a page_clean at unmount time just because a vnode is VXLOCKed, but
that's what was being done before...

efdc5523c0 When the softdep conversion took place, the periodic vfs_msync() from
update got lost.  This is responsible for ensuring that dirty mmap() pages
get periodically written to disk.  Without it, long time mmap's might not
have their dirty pages written out at all of the system crashes or isn't
cleanly shut down.  This could be nasty if you've got a long-running
writing via mmap(), dirty pages used to get written to disk within 30

bef608bd7e Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11
problems.  Tor Egge and others have helped with various VM bugs
lately, but don't blame him -- blame me!!!

pmap.c:
1)	Create an object for kernel page table allocations.  This
	fixes a bogus allocation method previously used for such, by
	grabbing pages from the kernel object, using bogus pindexes.
	(This was a code cleanup, and perhaps a minor system stability
	 issue.)

pmap.c:
2)	Pre-set the modify and accessed bits when prudent.  This will
	decrease bus traffic under certain circumstances.

vfs_bio.c, vfs_cluster.c:
3)	Rather than calculating the beginning virtual byte offset
	multiple times, stick the offset into the buffer header, so
	that the calculated offset can be reused.  (Long long multiplies
	are often expensive, and this is a probably unmeasurable performance
	improvement, and code cleanup.)

vfs_bio.c:
4)	Handle write recursion more intelligently (but not perfectly) so
	that it is less likely to cause a system panic, and is also
	much more robust.

vfs_bio.c:
5)	getblk incorrectly wrote out blocks that are incorrectly sized.
	The problem is fixed, and writes blocks out ONLY when B_DELWRI
	is true.

vfs_bio.c:
6)	Check that already constituted buffers have fully valid pages.  If
	not, then make sure that the B_CACHE bit is not set. (This was
	a major source of Sig-11 type problems.)

vfs_bio.c:
7)	Fix a potential system deadlock due to an incorrectly specified
	sleep priority while waiting for a buffer write operation.  The
	change that I made opens the system up to serious problems, and
	we need to examine the issue of process sleep priorities.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_bio.c:
8)	Make clustered reads work more correctly (and more completely)
	when buffers are already constituted, but not fully valid.
	(This was another system reliability issue.)

vfs_subr.c, ffs_inode.c:
9)	Create a vtruncbuf function, which is used by filesystems that
	can truncate files.  The vinvalbuf forced a file sync type operation,
	while vtruncbuf only invalidates the buffers past the new end of file,
	and also invalidates the appropriate pages.  (This was a system reliabiliy
	and performance issue.)

10)	Modify FFS to use vtruncbuf.

vm_object.c:
11)	Make the object rundown mechanism for OBJT_VNODE type objects work
	more correctly.  Included in that fix, create pager entries for
	the OBJT_DEAD pager type, so that paging requests that might slip
	in during race conditions are properly handled.  (This was a system
	reliability issue.)

vm_page.c:
12)	Make some of the page validation routines be a little less picky
	about arguments passed to them.  Also, support page invalidation
	change the object generation count so that we handle generation
	counts a little more robustly.

vm_pageout.c:
13)	Further reduce pageout daemon activity when the system doesn't
	need help from it.  There should be no additional performance
	decrease even when the pageout daemon is running.  (This was
	a significant performance issue.)

vnode_pager.c:
14)	Teach the vnode pager to handle race conditions during vnode
	deallocations.

617dd81f70 If the root mount fails from a device that is not the compatability slice
of a disk, because that slice does not exist, try again mounting from the
compatability slice.

This handles the case where a disk has been initialised by 'disklabel
auto', which places a bogus and invalid slice entry on the disk.
The bootstrap is not smart enough to reject this slice, and pretends to
boot from it.  Believing the the bootstrap at this point is unwise.

Booting from non-'wd' disks thus prepared is still broken, as
'disklabel -rwB xdN auto' does not initialise the disk type field, and
the bootstrap mistakenly claims that the disk is handled by 'wd'.

Behaviour is now consistent with DEVFS expected characteristics.

In the up-coming changes to the libc makefiles, there is the option
to provide a machine dependent asm source file which will turn off
the automatic generation of the default. There is also an option
to just stop code being generated for a syscall. In most cases,
though, the default asm code is all that is required, so this
change makes that the most convenient was to do business.

John Dyson
8f9110f6a1 This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There
has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code.  These
problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances.  Most of
the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
the vfs.ioopt code.  This code might have been committed seperately, but
almost everything is interrelated.

1)	Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
	are fully valid.
2)	Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
	kern_exec, we now free them.
3)	Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
	(missing vp) state.
4)	Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse.  The previous
	code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
5)	Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
6)	Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
	files in vfs_bio_awrite.  When the code is functional, I'll add back
	a cleaner version.
7)	The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
	incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me.  Revert to the
	original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
8)	The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
	more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
	that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
9)	Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE.  The
	delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
	length of the time intervals.
10)	Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
11)	Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
12)	Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
	the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
13)	Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
14)	Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
	vm_map_clean.
15)	Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
	fewer in-transit waits occur.  (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
	of PG_BUSY.)  Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
	reads.
16)	It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy.  Make the
	page allocation code handle that case correctly.  (It should probably
	be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
	robustly.  I'll probably add a printf.)
17)	Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep.  It didn't handle
	consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
	lofty.  After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
	to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
	verify it's status (always.)
18)	In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
19)	Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
20)	Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
	instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

0b8a3ff790 Set the input and output buffer sizes and the input buffer watermarks
dynamically depending on the line speed(s).  This should give the old
sizes and watermarks until drivers are changed.

Display the input watermarks in pstat and sicontrol.

02c1dc3bbc When entering the apic version of slow interrupt handler, level
interrupts are masked, and EOI is sent iff the corresponding ISR bit
is set in the local apic. If the CPU cannot obtain the interrupt
service lock (currently the global kernel lock) the interrupt is
forwarded to the CPU holding that lock.

Clock interrupts now have higher priority than other slow interrupts.

3163861c7b Forward the signal if the process runs on a different CPU. This reduces
the signal handling latency for cpu-bound processes that performs very
few system calls.

The IPI for forcing an additional software trap is no longer dependent upon
BETTER_CLOCK being defined.

c8a7999933 Update the ELF image activator to use some of the exec resources rather
than rolling it's own.  This means that it now uses the "safe"
exec_map_first_page() to get the ld.so headers rather than risking a panic
on a page fault failure (eg: NFS server goes down).
Since all the ELF tools go to a lot of trouble to make sure everything
lives in the first page for executables, this is a win.  I have not seen
any ELF executable on any system where all the headers didn't fit in the
first page with lots of room to spare.
I have been running variations of this code for some time on my pure ELF
systems.

34bdbbd0de The intent is to get rid of WILLRELE in vnode_if.src by making
a complement to all ops that return a vpp, VFS_VRELE.  This is
initially only for file systems that implement the following ops
that do a WILLRELE:

	vop_create, vop_whiteout, vop_mknod, vop_remove, vop_link,
	vop_rename, vop_mkdir, vop_rmdir, vop_symlink

This is initial DNA that doesn't do anything yet.  VFS_VRELE is
implemented but not called.

A default vfs_vrele was created for fs implementations that use the
standard vnode management routines.

VFS_VRELE implementations were made for the following file systems:

Standard (vfs_vrele)
	ffs mfs nfs msdosfs devfs ext2fs

Custom
	union umapfs

Just EOPNOTSUPP
	fdesc procfs kernfs portal cd9660

These implementations may change as VOP changes are implemented.

In the next phase, in the vop implementations calls to vrele and the vrele
part of vput will be moved to the top layer vfs_vnops and made visible
to all layers.  vput will be replaced by unlock in these cases.  Unlocking
will still be done in the per fs layer but the refcount decrement will be
triggered at the top because it doesn't hurt to hold a vnode reference a
little longer.  This will have minimal impact on the structure of the
existing code.

This will only be done for vnode arguments that are released by the various
fs vop implementations.

Wider use of VFS_VRELE will likely require restructuring of the code.

ffc82b0a70 1) Use a more consistent page wait methodology.
2)	Do not unnecessarily force page blocking when paging
	pages out.
3)	Further improve swap pager performance and correctness,
	including fixing the paging in progress deadlock (except
	in severe I/O error conditions.)
4)	Enable vfs_ioopt=1 as a default.
5)	Fix and enable the page prezeroing in SMP mode.

All in all, SMP systems especially should show a significant
improvement in "snappyness."
