and setup user TLS. I ever wanted to merge it into cpu_set_kse_upcall,
but since cpu_set_kse_upcall is also used by M:N threads which may
not need this feature, so I wrote a separated cpu_set_user_tls.
o Remove the clock interface. Not only does it conflict with the MI
version when device genclock is added to the kernel, it was also
not possible to have more than 1 clock device. This of course would
have been a problem if we actually had more than 1 clock device.
In short: we don't need a clock interface and if we do eventually,
we should be using the MI one.
o Rewrite inittodr() and resettodr() to take into account that:
1) We use the EFI interface directly.
2) time_t is 64-bit and we do need to make sure we can determine
leap years from year 2100 and on. Add a nice explanation of
where leap years come from and why.
3) This rewrite happened in 2005 so any date prior to 1/1/2005
(either M/D/Y or D/M/Y) is bogus. Reprogram the EFI clock with
1/1/2005 in that case.
4) The EFI clock has a high probability of being correct, so
only (further) correct the EFI clock when the file system time
is larger. That should never happen in a time-synchronised world.

unw_step(). Both errors denote the end of a stack trace (i.e. no
prior frame), but are otherwise not error conditions.
Have db_trace() return 0 when the trace ends due to one of these
return codes as they are really normal termination conditions.
This change especially improves the output of the "show thread"
command in DDB when there are threads in fork_trampoline() and
previously db_trace() would return an error, causing the show
command to emit '***'.
MCA state requires a spin lock, which requires a valid curthread.

1 Move the debug.clock_adjust_* sysctls to debug.clock.adjust_* to
make it easier to get only the clock statistics.
2 Make the sysctls read-only [suggested by Marius].
3 When determining the new clock adjustment, we checked for an error
either larger than 12.5% or smaller than 12.5%. We left out an error
of exactly 12.5%. For errors larger than 12.5% we adjust the clock
reload value in such a way that the next clock interrupt would be
early (as in premature). For errors less than 12.5% we stopped the
adjustment.
The current algorithm doesn't benefit from excluding an error of
exactly 12.5%. Change the code to stop adjusting the clock if the
error is *not* larger than 12.5% [suggested by Marius].

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

on entry and it assumes the responsibility for releasing the page queues
lock if it must sleep.
Remove a bogus comment from pmap_enter_quick().
Using the first change, modify vm_map_pmap_enter() so that the page queues
lock is acquired and released once, rather than each time that a page
is mapped.
In such cases, the busying of the page and the unlocking of the
containing object by vm_map_pmap_enter() and vm_fault_prefault() is
unnecessary overhead. To eliminate this overhead, this change
modifies pmap_enter_quick() so that it expects the object to be locked
on entry and it assumes the responsibility for busying the page and
unlocking the object if it must sleep. Note: alpha, amd64, i386 and
ia64 are the only implementations optimized by this change; arm,
powerpc, and sparc64 still conservatively busy the page and unlock the
object within every pmap_enter_quick() call.
Additionally, this change is the first case where we synchronize
access to the page's PG_BUSY flag and busy field using the containing
object's lock rather than the global page queues lock. (Modifications
to the page's PG_BUSY flag and busy field have asserted both locks for
several weeks, enabling an incremental transition.)
"vm_fault: fault on nofault entry, addr: %lx" panic. The problem was a
stale PTE in the TLB that marked the page as not present, even though
we had a good PTE in the VHPT. We typically don't yet insert PTEs in
the TLB. We do that lazily. The CPU will look for the PTE in the VHPT
when there's no PTE in the TLB. Unfortunately this doesn't handle the
case of the stale PTE in the TLB. The quick fix is to invalidate the
TLB (sloppily) when the VHPT doesn't contain a valid PTE. This is also
the only case that may cause a PTE in the TLB that marks a page as
non-present.
specified register, but a pointer to the in-memory representation of
that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.
This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P
packet as a hexadecimal number instead of as a bit array. The quick
(and dirty) fix to bswap the register value in gdb_cpu_setreg() as
it has been added on i386 and amd64 can therefore be removed and has
in fact been that.
