Right now, userspace (fast) gettimeofday(2) on x86 only works for
RDTSC. For older machines, like Core2, where RDTSC is not C2/C3
invariant, and which fall to HPET hardware, this means that the call
has both the penalty of the syscall and of the uncached hw behind the
QPI or PCIe connection to the sought bridge. Nothing can me done
against the access latency, but the syscall overhead can be removed.
System already provides mappable /dev/hpetX devices, which gives
straight access to the HPET registers page.
Add yet another algorithm to the x86 'vdso' timehands. Libc is updated
to handle both RDTSC and HPET. For HPET, the index of the hpet device
to mmap is passed from kernel to userspace, index might be changed and
libc invalidates its mapping as needed.
Remove cpu_fill_vdso_timehands() KPI, instead require that
timecounters which can be used from userspace, to provide
tc_fill_vdso_timehands{,32}() methods. Merge i386 and amd64
libc/<arch>/sys/__vdso_gettc.c into one source file in the new
libc/x86/sys location. __vdso_gettc() internal interface is changed
to move timecounter algorithm detection into the MD code.
Measurements show that RDTSC even with the syscall overhead is faster
than userspace HPET access. But still, userspace HPET is three-four
times faster than syscall HPET on several Core2 and SandyBridge
machines.

that it doesn't depend on those types.
In r227474, this header file was changed to define SIG_ATOMIC_{MIN,MAX}

Summary:
Migrate to using the semi-opaque type rman_res_t to specify rman resources. For
now, this is still compatible with u_long.
This is step one in migrating rman to use uintmax_t for resources instead of
u_long.
Going forward, this could feasibly be used to specify architecture-specific
definitions of resource ranges, rather than baking a specific integer type into
the API.
This change has been broken out to facilitate MFC'ing drivers back to 10 without

frame buffers and memory mapped UARTs.
1. Delay calling cninit() until after pmap_bootstrap(). This makes
sure we have PMAP initialized enough to add translations. Keep
kdb_init() after cninit() so that we have console when we need
to break into the debugger on boot.
2. Unfortunately, the ATPIC code had be moved as well so as to
avoid a spurious trap #30. The reason for which is not known
at this time.
3. In pmap_mapdev_attr(), when we need to map a device prior to the
VM system being initialized, use virtual_avail as the KVA to map
the device at. In particular, avoid using the direct map on amd64
because we can't demote by virtue of not being able to allocate
yet. Keep track of the translation.
Re-use the translation after the VM has been initialized to not
waste KVA and to satisfy the assumption in uart(4) that the handle
returned for the low-level console is the same as later returned
when the device is probed and attached.
4. In pmap_unmapdev() remove the mapping from the table when called
pre-init. Otherwise keep the mapping. During bus probe and attach
device resources are mapped and unmapped multiple times, which
would have us destroy the mapping used by the low-level console.
5. In pmap_init(), set pmap_initialized to signal that we're not
pre-init anymore. On amd64, bring the direct map in sync with the
translations created at that time.
6. Implement bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap() for real: when
the tag corresponds to memory space, call the corresponding
pmap_mapdev() and pmap_unmapdev() functions to construct and
actual handle.
7. In efifb.c and vt_vga.c, remove the crutches and hacks and simply
call pmap_mapdev_attr() or bus_space_map() as desired.
Notes:
1. uart(4) already used bus_space_map() during low-level console
setup but since serial ports have traditionally been I/O port
based, the lack of a proper implementation for said function
was not a problem. It has always supported memory mapped UARTs
for low-level consoles by setting hw.uart.console accordingly.
2. The use of the direct map on amd64 without setting caching
attributes has been a bigger problem than previously thought.
This change has the fortunate (and unexpected) side-effect of
fixing various EFI frame buffer problems (though not all).

the Vahalia' "Unix Internals" section 15.12 "Other TLB Consistency
Algorithms". The same algorithm is already utilized by the MIPS pmap
to handle ASIDs.
The PCID for the address space is now allocated per-cpu during context
switch to the thread using pmap, when no PCID on the cpu was ever
allocated, or the current PCID is invalidated. If the PCID is reused,
bit 63 of %cr3 can be set to avoid TLB flush.
Each cpu has PCID' algorithm generation count, which is saved in the
pmap pcpu block when pcpu PCID is allocated. On invalidation, the
pmap generation count is zeroed, which signals the context switch code
that already allocated PCID is no longer valid. The implication is
the TLB shootdown for the given cpu/address space, due to the
allocation of new PCID.
The pm_save mask is no longer has to be tracked, which (significantly)
reduces the targets of the TLB shootdown IPIs. Previously, pm_save
was reset only on pmap_invalidate_all(), which made it accumulate the
cpuids of all processors on which the thread was scheduled between
full TLB shootdowns.
Besides reducing the amount of TLB shootdowns and removing atomics to
update pm_saves in the context switch code, the algorithm is much
simpler than the maintanence of pm_save and selection of the right
address space in the shootdown IPI handler.

translation. In particular, despite IO-APICs only take 8bit apic id,
IR translation structures accept 32bit APIC Id, which allows x2APIC
mode to function properly. Extend msi_cpu of struct msi_intrsrc and
io_cpu of ioapic_intsrc to full int from one byte.
KPI of IR is isolated into the x86/iommu/iommu_intrmap.h, to avoid
bringing all dmar headers into interrupt code. The non-PCI(e) devices
which generate message interrupts on FSB require special handling. The
HPET FSB interrupts are remapped, while DMAR interrupts are not.
For each msi and ioapic interrupt source, the iommu cookie is added,
which is in fact index of the IRE (interrupt remap entry) in the IR
table. Cookie is made at the source allocation time, and then used at
the map time to fill both IRE and device registers. The MSI
address/data registers and IO-APIC redirection registers are
programmed with the special values which are recognized by IR and used
to restore the IRE index, to find proper delivery mode and target.
Map all MSI interrupts in the block when msi_map() is called.
Since an interrupt source setup and dismantle code are done in the
non-sleepable context, flushing interrupt entries cache in the IR
hardware, which is done async and ideally waits for the interrupt,
requires busy-wait for queue to drain. The dmar_qi_wait_for_seq() is
modified to take a boolean argument requesting busy-wait for the
written sequence number instead of waiting for interrupt.
Some interrupts are configured before IR is initialized, e.g. ACPI
SCI. Add intr_reprogram() function to reprogram all already
configured interrupts, and call it immediately before an IR unit is
enabled. There is still a small window after the IO-APIC redirection
entry is reprogrammed with cookie but before the unit is enabled, but
to fix this properly, IR must be started much earlier.
Add workarounds for 5500 and X58 northbridges, some revisions of which
have severe flaws in handling IR. Use the same identification methods
as employed by Linux.
