b439e431bf Tweak how the MD code calls the fooclock() methods some. Instead of
passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly.  In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures.  Basically,
  all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
  one way or another.  Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
  directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
  accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
  the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
  timecounter, call hardclock() directly.  This removes an extra
  conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
  There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
  to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
  since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
  is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
  to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof  arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
  trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

- Move PUSH_FRAME and POP_FRAME to asmacros.h and use PUSH_FRAME in
  atpic entry points.
- Move PCPU_* asm macros out of the middle of the asm profiling macros.
- Pass IRQ vector argument as an int rather than void * to reduce diffs
  with i386.
- EOI the lapic in C for the lapic timer handler.
- GC unused Xcpuast function.
- Split IPI_STOP handling code of ipi_nmi_handler() out into a
  cpustop_handler() function and call it from Xcpustop rather than
  duplicating all the logic in assembly.
- Fixup the list of symbols with interrupt frames in ddb traces.
  Xatpic_fastintr* have never existed on amd64, and the lapic timer
  handler and various IPI handlers were missing.
- Use trapframe instead of intrframe for interrupt entry points (on amd64
  the interrupt vector was already a separate argument, so the two frames
  were already identical) and GC intrframe.

c7362ff7fb Change the x86 code to allocate IDT vectors on-demand when an interrupt
source is first enabled similar to how intr_event's now allocate ithreads
on-demand.  Previously, we would map IDT vectors 1:1 to IRQs.  Since we
only have 191 available IDT vectors for I/O interrupts, this limited us
to only supporting IRQs 0-190 corresponding to the first 190 I/O APIC
intpins.  On many machines, however, each PCI-X bus has its own APIC even
though it only has 1 or 2 devices, thus, we were reserving between 24 and
32 IRQs just for 1 or 2 devices and thus 24 or 32 IDT vectors.  With this
change, a machine with 100 IRQs but only 5 in use will only use up 5 IDT
vectors.  Also, this change provides an API (apic_alloc_vector() and
apic_free_vector()) that will allow a future MSI interrupt source driver to
request IDT vectors for use by MSI interrupts on x86 machines.

e0f66ef861 Reorganize the interrupt handling code a bit to make a few things cleaner
and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried
in the future.
- Split struct ithd up into two pieces.  struct intr_event holds the list
  of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
  struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
  Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
  with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
  is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event.  This
  means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
  no handlers.  It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
  handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
  intr_foo naming convention.  This did require renaming the powerpc
  MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
  powerpc.  This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
  same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
  to the same interrupt.  Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
  desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
  either.  Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
  exclusively.  The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
  comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
  threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
  This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
  filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
  threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
  is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
  dumping their state.  It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
  info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
  handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
  braindead behavior.  The code is present, though, it is just under
  #if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
  event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more
  readable.  Previously this code was all in the middle of ithread_loop()
  and indented halfway across the screen.
- Made struct intr_thread private to kern_intr.c and replaced td_ithd
  with a thread private flag TDP_ITHREAD.
- In statclock, check curthread against idlethread directly rather than
  curthread's proc against idlethread's proc. (Not really related to intr
  changes)

58553b9925 Rename the KDB_STOP_NMI kernel option to STOP_NMI and make it apply to all
IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
  enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI.  If the kernel
  option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
  runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled).  This
  includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
  private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
  properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
  enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
  that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
  assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
  Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
  subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
  of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of
  being dependent on KDB_STOP_NMI.  It works fine in both the NMI and
  non-NMI cases.

235a54de9d Switch AMD64 and i386 platforms to using ELF as their kernel crash
dump format.  The key reason to do this is so that we can dump sparse
address space.  For example, we need to be able to skip the PCI hole
just below the 4GB boundary.  Trying to destructively dump MMIO device
registers is Really Bad(TM).  The frequent result of trying to do a
crash dump on a machine with 4GB or more ram was ugly (lockup or reboot).

This code has been taken directly from the IA64 dump_machdep.c code,
with just a few (mostly minor) mods.

Introduce a dump_avail[] array in the machdep.c code so that we have a
source of truth for what memory is present in a machine that needs to be
dumped.  We can't use phys_avail[] because all sorts of things slice
memory out of it that we really need to dump.  eg: the vm page array
and the dmesg buffer.  dump_avail[] is pretty much an unmolested version
of phys_avail[].  It does have Maxmem correction.

Bump the i386 and amd64 dump format to version 2, but nothing actually
uses this.  amd64 was actually using the i386 dump version number.

libkvm support to follow.

c6a37e8413 Divorce critical sections from spinlocks. Critical sections as denoted by
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).

so include sys/cdefs.h in the amd64 and i386 version of floatingpoint.h.

Note: some architectures don't provide recursive inclusion protection in

include of sys/cdefs.h, all those files are equal (from a compiler POV),

7b74e4a759 Remove fpsetsticky(). This was added for SysV compatibility, but due
to mistakes from day 1, it has always had semantics inconsistent with
SVR4 and its successors.  In particular, given argument M:

- On Solaris and FreeBSD/{alpha,sparc64}, it clobbers the old flags
  and *sets* the new flag word to M.  (NetBSD, too?)
- On FreeBSD/{amd64,i386}, it *clears* the flags that are specified in M
  and leaves the remaining flags unchanged (modulo a small bug on amd64.)
- On FreeBSD/ia64, it is not implemented.

There is no way to fix fpsetsticky() to DTRT for both old FreeBSD apps
and apps ported from other operating systems, so the best approach
seems to be to kill the function and fix any apps that break.  I
couldn't find any ports that use it, and any such ports would already
be broken on FreeBSD/ia64 and Linux anyway.

By the way, the routine has always been undocumented in FreeBSD,
except for an MLINK to a manpage that doesn't describe it.  This
manpage has stated since 5.3-RELEASE that the functions it describes
are deprecated, so that must mean that functions that it is *supposed*
to describe but doesn't are even *more* deprecated.  ;-)

Note that fpresetsticky() has been retained on FreeBSD/i386.  As far
as I can tell, no other operating systems or ports of FreeBSD
implement it, so there's nothing for it to be inconsistent with.

cf4e1c4613 Remove diffs to i386 version that came in via the compiler support ifdefs.
This changes things like whitespace, inconsistent use of #ifndef vs
#if !defined(), different macro argument orders, mismatched comments, etc.

a5f50ef9e4 netchild's mega-patch to isolate compiler dependencies into a central
place.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.

By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild.  Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.
