In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not
only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue
function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue
linked to a wchan.
Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq
rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the
number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings.
In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel
with the option DEADLKRES.

o Optimize for memory mapped I/O by making all I/O port acceses function
calls and marking the test for the IA64_BUS_SPACE_IO tag with
__predict_false(). Implement the I/O port access functions in a new
file, called bus_machdep.c.
o Change the bus_space_handle_t for memory mapped I/O to the virtual
address rather than the physical address. This eliminates the PA->VA
translation for every I/O access. The handle for I/O port access is
still the port number.
o Move inb(), outb(), inw(), outw(), inl(), outl(), and their string
variants from cpufunc.h and define them in bus.h. On ia64 these are
not CPU functions at all. In bus.h they are merely aliases for the
new I/O port access functions defined in bus_machdep.h.
o Handle the ACPI resource bug in nexus_set_resource(). There we can
do it once so that we don't have to worry about it whenever we need
to write to an I/O port that is really a memory mapped address.
The upshot of this change is that the KBI is better defined and that I/O
port access always involves a function call, allowing us to change the
actual implementation without breaking the KBI. For memory mapped I/O the
virtual address is abstracted, so that we can change the VA->PA mapping
in the kernel without causing an KBI breakage. The exception at this time
is for bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap().

the Sun Fire V215/V245 and Sun Ultra 25/45 machines. This driver also
already includes all the code to support the `Oberon' Uranus to PCIe
bridges found in the Fujitsu-Siemens based Mx000 machines but due to
lack of access to such a system for testing, probing of these bridges
is currently disabled.
Unfortunately, the event queue mechanism of these bridges for MSIs/
MSI-Xs matches our current MD and MI interrupt frameworks like square
pegs fit into round holes so for now we are generous and use one event
queue per MSI, which limits us to 35 MSIs/MSI-Xs per Host-PCIe-bridge
(we use one event queue for the PCIe error messages). This seems
tolerable as long as most devices just use one MSI/MSI-X anyway.
Adding knowledge about MSIs/MSI-Xs to the MD interrupt code should
allow us to decouple the 1:1 mapping at the cost of no longer being
able to bind MSIs/MSI-Xs to specific CPUs as we currently have no
reliable way to quiesce a device during the transition of its MSIs/
MSI-Xs to another event queue. This would still require the problem
of interrupt storms generated by devices which have no one-shot
behavior or can't/don't mask interrupts while the filter/handler is
executed (like the older PCIe NICs supported by bge(4)) to be solved
though.

Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.
As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.

Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:
- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.
Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.
I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.
IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):
- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export

o Make sure to disable the high FP registers after saving

o use msleep() to wait for the other CPU to save the high

This change fixes the high FP inconsistency panics.
A single global lock typically serializes too much, which may
be noticable when a lot of threads use the high FP registers,
but in that case it's probably better to switch the high FP
context synchronuously. Put differently: cpu_switch() should
switch the high FP registers if the incoming and outgoing

- Do not map entire real mode memory (1MB). Instead, we map IVT/BDA and
ROM area separately. Most notably, ROM area is mapped as device memory
(uncacheable) as it should be. User memory is dynamically allocated and
free'ed with contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9). Remove now redundant and
potentially dangerous x86bios_alloc.c. If this emulator ever grows to
support non-PC hardware, we may implement it with rman(9) later.
- Move all host-specific initializations from x86emu_util.c to x86bios.c and
remove now unnecessary x86emu_util.c. Currently, non-PC hardware is not
supported. We may use bus_space(9) later when the KPI is fixed.
- Replace all bzero() calls for emulated registers with more obviously named
x86bios_init_regs(). This function also initializes DS and SS properly.
- Add x86bios_get_intr(). This function checks if the interrupt vector is
available for the platform. It is not necessary for PC-compatible hardware
but it may be needed later. ;-)
- Do not try turning off monitor if DPMS does not support the state.
- Allocate stable memory for VESA OEM strings instead of just holding
pointers to them. They may or may not be accessible always. Fix a memory
leak of video mode table while I am here.
- Add (experimental) BIOS POST call for vesa(4). This function calls VGA
BIOS POST code from the current VGA option ROM. Some video controllers
cannot save and restore the state properly even if it is claimed to be
supported. Usually the symptom is blank display after resuming from suspend
state. If the video mode does not match the previous mode after restoring,
we try BIOS POST and force the known good initial state. Some magic was
taken from NetBSD (and it was taken from vbetool, I believe.)
- Add a loader tunable for vgapci(4) to give a hint to dpms(4) and vesa(4)
to identify who owns the VESA BIOS. This is very useful for multi-display
adapter setup. By default, the POST video controller is automatically
probed and the tunable "hw.pci.default_vgapci_unit" is set to corresponding
vgapci unit number. You may override it from loader but it is very unlikely
to be necessary. Unfortunately only AGP/PCI/PCI-E controllers can be
matched because ISA controller does not have necessary device IDs.
- Fix a long standing bug in state save/restore function. The state buffer
pointer should be ES:BX, not ES:DI according to VBE 3.0. If it ever worked,
that's because BX was always zero. :-)

This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a

Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64

responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop

it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.

network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware

Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way. In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops . Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.
Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL. The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).
Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.

DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers. These are the successors
of the Sun GEM controllers and still have a similar but extended transmit
logic. As such this driver is based on gem(4).
Thanks to marcel@ for providing a Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE)
card which was vital for getting this driver to work on architectures
not using Open Firmware.

cksum related function calls, sometimes related to offload features
from what I could see.xi
It would be good if the offload functionality would be properly
#ifdefed but the other calls to cksum related functions are a more
general problem also elswhere in the network stack.
use IPv4/v6 for inter-node communication (according to my reading).
Properly wrap the carp callouts in INET || INET6 and refelect this
in sys/conf/files as well. While in theory this should be ok,
it might be a bit optimistic to think that carp could build with
inet6 only[1].

- Preallocate some memory for ACPI tasks early enough. We cannot use
malloc(9) any more because spin mutex may be held here. The reserved
memory can be tuned via debug.acpi.max_tasks tunable or ACPI_MAX_TASKS
in kernel configuration. The default is 32 tasks.
- Implement a custom taskqueue_fast to wrap the new memory allocation.
This implementation is not the fastest in the world but we are being
conservative here.
be nfs_nfsdport.c and nfs_nfsdcache.c are the problem only but we need
to mark all or we will run into problems at link time.
One is because of calling an INET specific function, the other is
because of VIMAGE putting all tcp* into struct vnet_inet.
Both are general problems throughout the entire stack and not a fault
of the NFS implementation and will need to be addressed in the future.
#error "Huh? if_gre without inet?"
According to my reading we still only support encapsulating datagrams
into IPv4 and not IPv6 so there is no optional | gre inet6 yet.
