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.

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.

o Add 4 debugging sysctls to monitor clock behaviour. Those are
debug.clock_adjust_edges, debug.clock_adjust_excess,
debug.clock_adjust_lost and debug.clock_adjust_ticks. The first
counts the individual adjustment cycles (when the skew first
crosses the threshold), the second counts the number of times the
adjustment was excessive (any non-zero value is to be considered
a bug), the third counts lost clock interrupts and the last counts
the number of interrupts for which we applied an adjustment
(debug.clock_adjust_ticks / debug.clock_adjust_edges gives the
avarage duration of an individual adjustment -- should be ~2).

have WITNESS and is generally a bad idea (pointed out by bde@). We
allocate an 8K heap for use by the unwinder when ddb is active. A
stack trace roughly takes up half of that in any case, so we have
some room for complex unwind situations. We don't want to waste too
much space though. Due to the nature of unwinding, we don't worry
too much about fragmentation or performance of unwinding while in
the debugger. For now we have our own heap management, but we may
be able to leverage from existing code at some later time.
While here:
o Make sure we actually free the unwind environment after unwinding.
This fixes a memory leak.

Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

The current name is confusing, because it indicates to
the client that a bus_dmamap_sync() operation is not
necessary when the flag is specified, which is wrong.
The main purpose of this flag is to hint the underlying
architecture that DMA memory should be mapped in a coherent
way, but the architecture can ignore it. But if the
architecture does supports coherent mapping of memory, then
it makes bus_dmamap_sync() calls cheap.
This flag is the same as the one in NetBSD's Bus DMA.

PSR only to achieve setting PSR.i back to it's previous value. It
makes it impossible to change any of the 30+ other unrelated bits
when done between intr_disable() and intr_restore(). That's bad.
Instead have intr_disable() return 1 when interrupts were previously
enabled and 0 otherwise and only enable interrupts in intr_restore()
when given a non-0 value.
This change specifically disallows using intr_restore() to disable
interrupts. The reason is simple: interrupts only need to be restored
after they are being disabled, which means that intr_restore() is
called with interrupts disabled and we only need to enable them if
they were previously enabled.
This change does not fix any bugs, other than that it bugged me...

and user mode. We need to take into account that the EPC syscall path
introduces a grey area in which one can argue either way, including a
third: neither.
We now use the region in which the IP address lies. Regions 5, 6 and 7
are kernel VA regions and if the IP lies any any of those regions we
assume we're in kernel mode. Hence, we can be in kernel mode even if
we're not on the kernel stack and/or have user privileges. There're
gremlins living in the twilight zone :-)
For the EPC syscall path this particularly means that the process
leaves user mode the moment it calls into the gateway page. This
makes the most sense because from a process' point of view the call
represents a request to the kernel for some service and that service
has been performed if the call returns. With the metric we picked,
this also means that we're back in user mode IFF the call returns.

On alpha, PAL is involved in context management and after wiring
the CPU (in alpha_init()) a context switch was performed to tell
PAL about the context. This was bogusly brought over to ia64
where it introduced bugs, because we restored the context from
a mostly uninitialized PCB.
The cleanup constitutes:
o Remove the unused arguments from ia64_init().
o Don't return from ia64_init(), but instead call mi_startup()
directly. This reduces the amount of muckery in assembly and
also allows for the next bullet:
o Save our currect context prior to calling mi_startup(). The
reason for this is that many threads are created from thread0
by cloning the PCB. By saving our context in the PCB, we have
something sane to clone. It also ensures that a cloned thread
that does not alter the context in any way will return to
the saved context, where we're ready for the eventuality with
a nice, user unfriendly panic().
The cleanup fixes at least the following bugs:
o Entering mi_startup() with the RSE in enforced lazy mode.
o Re-execution of ia64_init() in certain "lab" conditions.
While here, add proper unwind directives to __start() so that
the unwind knows it has reached the bottom of the (call) stack.

prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).
Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)
Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.
Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.
Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.
This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.

The advantage of using register sets is that you don't focus on each
register seperately, but instead instroduce a level of abstraction.
This reduces the chance of errors, and also simplifies the code.
The register sers form the basis of everything register.
The sets in this file are:
struct _special
contains all of the control related registers, such as instruction
pointer and stack pointer. It also contains interrupt specific registers
like the faulting address. The set is roughly split in 3 groups. The
first contains the registers that define a context or thread. This is
the only group that the kernel needs to switch threads. The second group
contains registers needed in addition to the first group needed to switch
userland threads. This group contains the thread pointer and the FP control
register. The third group contains those registers we need for execption
handling and are used on top of the first two groups.
struct _callee_saved, struct _callee_saved_fp
These sets contain the preserved registers, including the NaT after
spilling. The general registers (including branch registers) are
seperated from the FP registers for ptrace(2).
struct _caller_saved, struct _caller_saved_fp
These sets contain the scratch registers based on SDM 2.1, This means that
both ar.csd and ar.ccd are included here, even though they contain ia32
segment register descriptions. We keep seperate NaT bits for scratch and
preserved registers, because they are never saved/restored at the same
time.
struct _high_fp
The upper 96 FP registers that can be enabled/disabled seperately on
the CPU from the lower 32 FP registers. Due to the size of this set,
we treat them specially, even though they are defined as scratch
registers.

o do not use the in* and out* functions. These functions are used by
legacy drivers and thus must have ia32 compatible behaviour. Hence,
they need to have fences. Using these functions for newbus would
then pessimize performance.
o remove the conditional compilation of PIO and/or MEMIO support. It's
a PITA without having any significant benefit. We always support them
both. Since there are no I/O ports on ia64 (they are simulated by the
chipset by translating memory mapped I/O to predefined uncacheable
memory regions) the only difference between PIO and MEMIO is in the
address calculation. There should be enough ILP that can be exploited
here that making these computations compile-time conditional is not
worth it. We now also don't use the read* and write* functions.
o Add the missing *_8 variants. They were missing, although not missed.
It's for completeness.
o Do not add the fences that were present in the low-level support
functions here. We're using uncacheable memory, which means that
accesses are in program order. Change the barrier implementation
to not only do a memory fence, but also an acceptance fence. This
should more reliably synchronize drivers with the hardware. The
memory fence enforces ordering, but does not imply visibility (ie
the access does not necessarily have happened). This is what the
acceptance deals with.

o Remove the low-level memory mapped I/O support functions. They are
not used. Keep the low-level I/O port access functions for legacy
drivers and add fences to ensure ia32 compatibility.

proper definitions where they belong.
o Replace the ia64_port_address() and ia64_memory_address() functions
