frame marker) and the syscall stub frame info in the trap frame.
Previously we stored the stub frame info in (rp,pfs) and the
caller frame info in (iip,cfm). This ends up being suboptimal
for the following reasons:
1. When we create a new context, such as for an execve(2), we had
to set the (rp,pfs) pair for the entry point when using the
syscall path out of the kernel but we need to set the (iip,cfm)
pair when we take the interrupt way out. This is mostly just
an inconsistency from the kernel's point of view, but an ugly
irregularity from gdb(1)'s point of view.
2. The getcontext(2) and setcontext(2) syscalls had to swap the
(rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs to make the context compatible
with one created purely in userland.
Swapping the (rp,pfs) and (iip,cfm) pairs is visible to signal
handlers that actually peek at the mcontext_t and to gdb(1).
Since this change is made for gdb(1) and we don't care about
signal handlers that peek at the mcontext_t because we're still
a tier 2 platform, this ABI breakage is academic at this moment
in time.
Note that there was no real reason to save the caller frame info
in (iip,cfm) and the stub frame info in (rp,pfs).
about because we're still tier 2 and our current compiler, as well
as future compilers will not support varargs. This is mostly a
no-op in practice, because <sys/varargs.h> should already cause
compile failures.
systems where the data/stack/etc limits are too big for a 32 bit process.
Move the 5 or so identical instances of ELF_RTLD_ADDR() into imgact_elf.c.
Supply an ia32_fixlimits function. Export the clip/default values to
sysctl under the compat.ia32 heirarchy.
Have mmap(0, ...) respect the current p->p_limits[RLIMIT_DATA].rlim_max
value rather than the sysctl tweakable variable. This allows mmap to
place mappings at sensible locations when limits have been reduced.
Have the imgact_elf.c ld-elf.so.1 placement algorithm use the same
method as mmap(0, ...) now does.
Note that we cannot remove all references to the sysctl tweakable
maxdsiz etc variables because /etc/login.conf specifies a datasize
of 'unlimited'. And that causes exec etc to fail since it can no
longer find space to mmap things.
not guaranteed that the RSE writes the NaT collection immediately,
sort of atomically, to the backing store when it writes the register
immediately prior to the NaT collection point. This means that we
cannot assume that the low 9 bits of the backingstore pointer do not
point to the NaT collection. This is rather a surprise and I don't
know at this time if it's a bug in the Merced or that it's actually
a valid condition of the architecture. A quick scan over the sources
does not indicate that we depend on the false assumption elsewhere,
but it's something to keep in mind.
The fix is to write the saved contents of the ar.rnat register to
the backingstore prior to entering the loop that copies the dirty
registers from the kernel stack to the user stack.

restart instruction bits in the PSR. As such, we were returning
from interrupt to the instruction in the bundle that caused us
to enter the kernel, only now we're returning to a completely
different bundle.
While close here: add two KASSERTs to make sure that we restore
sync contexts only when entered the kernel through a syscall and
restore an async context only when entered the kernel through an
interrupt, trap or fault.
While not exactly here, but close enough: use suword64() when we
copy the dirty registers from the kernel stack to the user stack.
The code was intended to be be replaced shortly after being added,
but that was a couple of weeks ago. I might as well avoid that it

can get (or not) and what we do with them. This fixes the behaviour
for NaT consumption and speculation faults in that we now don't panic
for user faults.
Remove the dopanic label and move the code to a function. This makes
it easier in the simulator to set a breakpoint.
While here, remove the special handling of the old break-based syscall
path and move it to where we handle the break vector. While here,
reserve a new break immediate for KSE. We currently use the old break-
based syscall to deal with restoring async contexts. However, it has
the side-effect of also setting the signal mask and callong ast() on
the way out. The new break immediate simply restores the context and
returns without calling ast().
but for CPL != 0. For some reason yet unknown it is possible for the
CPL to be 2. This would previously be counted as kernel mode, which
resulted in nasty panics. By changing the test it is now treated as
user mode, which is more correct. We still need to figure out how it
is possible that the privilege level can be 2 (or 1 for that matter),
because it's not used by us. We only use 3 (user mode) and 0 (kernel
mode).
we think is the correct trigger mode and polarity. This allows us to
implement BUS_CONFIG_INTR() as an update of the RTE in question.
Consequently, we can trust the RTE when we enable an interrupt and
avoids that we need to know about the trigger mode and polarity at
that time.
latter is a kernel option for IA64_ID_PAGE_SHIFT, which in turn
determines IA64_ID_PAGE_MASK and IA64_ID_PAGE_SIZE.
The constants are used instead of the literal hardcoding (in its
various forms) of the size of the direct mappings created in region
6 and 7. The default and probably only workable size is still 256M,
but for kicks we use 128M for LINT.

rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
ia64_count_cpus() and ia64_probe_sapics() called a single function
to do the the actual work. The difference in behaviour was handled
in that function and was further complicated by adding bootverbose
related code. As such, even the simplest of changes was hard to
comprehend.
Untangling has been done by increasing code duplication and using
a more naive style of coding. FWIW, the object file is slightly
smaller than before, so things aren't as bad as it may seem.
Triggered by: a simple fix on the P4 branch that never got merged.
we return to kernel or userland. This triggered a panic in a KSE
application when TDF_USTATCLOCK was set in the case userland was
interrupted, but we never called ast() on our way out. As such,
we called ast() at some other time. Unfortunately, TDF_USTATCLOCK
handling assumes running in the interrupt thread. This was not
the case anymore.
To avoid making the same mistake later, interrupt() now returns
to its caller whether we interrupted userland or not. This avoids
that we have to duplicate the check in assembly, where it's bound
to fall off the scope. Now we simply check the return value and
call ast() if appropriate.

it in the last chunk (phys_avail block). The last chunk very often is
not larger than one or two pages, resulting in a msgbuf that's too
small to hold a complete verbose boot.
Note that pmap_steal_memory() will bzero the memory it "allocates".
Consequently, ia64 will never preserve previous msgbufs. This is not
a noticable difference in practice. If the msgbuf could be reused,
it was invariably too small to have anything preserved anyway.
sockets into machine-dependent files. The rationale for this
migration is illustrated by the modified amd64 allocator. It uses the
amd64's direct map to avoid emphemeral mappings in the kernel's
address space. On an SMP, the emphemeral mappings result in an IPI
for TLB shootdown for each transmitted page. Yuck.
Maintainers of other 64-bit platforms with direct maps should be able
to use the amd64 allocator as a reference implementation.
ultimate trigger for the follow-up fixes in revisions 1.78, 1.80,
1.81 and 1.82 of trap.c. I was simply too pre-occupied with the
gateway page and how it blurs kernel space with user space and
vice versa that I couldn't see that it was all a load of bollocks.
It's not the IP address that matters, it's the privilege level that
counts. We never run in user space with lifted permissions and we
sure can not run in kernel space without it. Sure, the gateway page
is the exception, but not if you look at the privilege level. It's
user space if you run with user permissions and kernel space otherwise.
So, we're back to looking at the privilege level like it should be.
There's no other way.

that were on the kernel stack into account. For now we write them
out to the register stack of the process before creating the dump.
This however is not the final solution. The problem is that we may
invalidate the coredump by overwriting vital information due to an
invalid backing store pointer. Instead we need to write the dirty
registers to an unused region of VM which will result in a seperate
segment in the coredump. For now we can at least get to all the
registers from a coredump.
and the move to control register to avoid dependency violations when
these functions are used. Note that explicit data and instruction
serialization also need to be in a subsequent instruction group.
This too requires that we have an igrp break here.
PT_SETKSTACK. These requests allow the tracing process to access the
dirty registers of the traced process that are on the kernel stack.
Note that there's currently no way to access the rnat register for
those dirty registers that are not (yet) covered by a nat collection
point. The interface for this is still being slept on.
Also note that implied by these requests is the division of work:
The tracing process has to keep track of where registers are spilled
and is responsible to figure out where the NaT bit of the stacked
registers are at any time during the execution of the traced process.
The kernel provides the interfaces but will not abstract the fact
that the register stack can be split. This model does not follow
the approach taken in Linux where PT_PEEK and PT_POKE deals with
this automagically.
in user space or kernel space. VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS starts after the
gateway page, which means that improper memory accesses to the gateway
page while in user mode would panic the kernel. Use VM_MAX_ADDRESS
instead. It ends before the gateway page. The difference between
VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS and VM_MAX_ADDRESS is exactly the gateway page.
move to ar.rsc. The RSE must be in enforced lazy mode when writing
to RSE modifyable registers. In this case we restore the RSE NaT
collection register ar.rnat. I have seen 2 general exception faults
on pluto1 now that indicate that the move to ar.rsc has already
happened prior to the move to ar.rnat, meaning that the RSE is not
in enforced lazy mode anymore. The ia64 dependency and instruction
ordering rules seem to allow having both registers written to in
the same instruction group, provided ar.rsc is written to later than
ar.rnat (based on the ordering semantics). It appears that we may
be pushing our luck. For now, put them in seperate cycles (by means
of the instruction group break). If we ever get a general exception
fault on the move to ar.rnat again, we have definite proof that
something else is fishy.
o Differentiate between CPU family and CPU model. There are multiple
Itanium 2 models and it's nice to differentiate between them.
o Seperately export the CPU family and CPU model with sysctl.
o Merced is the only model in the Itanium family.
o Add Madison to the Itanium 2 family. We already knew about McKinley.
o Print the CPU family between parenthesis, like we do with the i386
CPU class.
My prototype now identifies itself as:
CPU: Merced (800.03-Mhz Itanium)
pluto1 and pluto2 will eventually identify themselves as:

magic from exec_setregs(). In set_mcontext() we now also don't have
to worry that we entered the kernel with more that 512 bytes of
dirty registers on the kernel stack. Note that we cannot make any
assumptions anymore WRT to NaT collection points in exec_setregs(),
so we have to deal with them now.
