5c623cb649 Add support for low resolution SMP kernel profiling.
- A nonprofiling version of s_lock (called s_lock_np) is used
    by mcount.

  - When profiling is active, more registers are clobbered in
    seemingly simple assembly routines. This means that some
    callers needed to save/restore extra registers.

  - The stack pointer must have space for a 'fake' return address
    in idle, to avoid stack underflow.

78292efeef Another round of lock pushdown.
Add a simplelock to deal with disable_intr()/enable_intr() as used in UP kernel.
UP kernel expects that this is enough to guarantee exclusive access to
regions of code bracketed by these 2 functions.
Add a simplelock to bracket clock accesses in clock.c: clock_lock.

6875d25465 Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.

a7d00b5bf6 Moved definition of FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT to a machine-dependent place.
Changed it from 4 to 16 for i386's.  It can be anything for i386's,
but compiler options limit it to a power of 2, and assembler and
linker deficiencies limit it to a small power of 2 (<= 16).
We use 16 in the kernel to get smaller tables (see Makefile.i386 and
<machine/asmacros.h>).  We still use the default of 4 in user mode.

Use HISTCOUNTER instead of (*kcount) in the definition of KCOUNT()
for consistency with other macros.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

d6b9e17eb5 Improved non-statistical (GUPROF) profiling:
- use a more accurate and more efficient method of compensating for
  overheads.  The old method counted too much time against leaf
  functions.
- normally use the Pentium timestamp counter if available.
  On Pentiums, the times are now accurate to within a couple of cpu
  clock cycles per function call in the (unlikely) event that there
  are no cache misses in or caused by the profiling code.
- optionally use an arbitrary Pentium event counter if available.
- optionally regress to using the i8254 counter.
- scaled the i8254 counter by a factor of 128.  Now the i8254 counters
  overflow slightly faster than the TSC counters for a 150MHz Pentium :-)
  (after about 16 seconds).  This is to avoid fractional overheads.

files.i386:
permon.c temporarily has to be classified as a profiling-routine
because a couple of functions in it may be called from profiling code.

options.i386:
- I586_CTR_GUPROF is currently unused (oops).
- I586_PMC_GUPROF should be something like 0x70000 to enable (but not
  use unless prof_machdep.c is changed) support for Pentium event
  counters.  7 is a control mode and the counter number 0 is somewhere
  in the 0000 bits (see perfmon.h for the encoding).

profile.h:
- added declarations.
- cleaned up separation of user mode declarations.

prof_machdep.c:
Mostly clock-select changes.  The default clock can be changed by
editing kmem.  There should be a sysctl for this.

subr_prof.c:
- added copyright.
- calibrate overheads for the new method.
- documented new method.
- fixed races and and machine dependencies in start/stop code.

mcount.c:
Use the new overhead compensation method.

gmon.h:
- changed GPROF4 counter type from unsigned to int.  Oops, this should
  be machine-dependent and/or int32_t.
- reorganized overhead counters.

1f403fcfbf Cleaned up interrupt masking by declaring the state variable in a
machine-dependent macro and passing it to all machine-dependent
macros.

Eliminated the state variable for the GUPROF case.

e5171bbec0 Fixed user-mode mcount which I broke in the previous revision.
Do it the old way for now.

Moved recent additions around a lot to minimise ifdefs.

Added prototypes.

912e603778 Implemented non-statistical kernel profiling. This is based on
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches.  The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.

gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes.  Does anyone
disagree?

gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header.  This
hack will do until then.  (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)

config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.

kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'.  `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.

8db02de884 Added MCOUNT_ENTER and MCOUNT_EXIT macros to profile.h
Removed inb function since it's more correctly in pio.h

Copied write_eflags and read_eflags over from npx.c

(Some changes to the macros suggested by Bruce were not made at this
time since his suggestions probably apply to all the macros and
these inlined/macro definitions need a lot of cleaning up at some
point in the future.)
