reducues the maintenance load for the mutex code. The only MD portions
of the mutex code are in machine/mutex.h now, which include the assembly
macros for handling mutexes as well as optionally overriding the mutex
micro-operations. For example, we use optimized micro-ops on the x86
platform #ifndef I386_CPU.
- Change the behavior of the SMP_DEBUG kernel option. In the new code,
mtx_assert() only depends on INVARIANTS, allowing other kernel developers
to have working mutex assertiions without having to include all of the
mutex debugging code. The SMP_DEBUG kernel option has been renamed to
MUTEX_DEBUG and now just controls extra mutex debugging code.
- Abolish the ugly mtx_f hack. Instead, we dynamically allocate
seperate mtx_debug structures on the fly in mtx_init, except for mutexes
that are initiated very early in the boot process. These mutexes
are declared using a special MUTEX_DECLARE() macro, and use a new
flag MTX_COLD when calling mtx_init. This is still somewhat hackish,
but it is less evil than the mtx_f filler struct, and the mtx struct is
now the same size with and without mutex debugging code.
- Add some micro-micro-operation macros for doing the actual atomic
operations on the mutex mtx_lock field to make it easier for other archs
to override/optimize mutex ops if needed. These new tiny ops also clean
up the code in some places by replacing long atomic operation function
calls that spanned 2-3 lines with a short 1-line macro call.
- Don't call mi_switch() from mtx_enter_hard() when we block while trying
to obtain a sleep mutex. Calling mi_switch() would bogusly release
Giant before switching to the next process. Instead, inline most of the
code from mi_switch() in the mtx_enter_hard() function. Note that when
we finally kill Giant we can back this out and go back to calling
mi_switch().
in most of the atomic operations. Now for these operations, you can
use the normal atomic operation, you can use the operation with a read
barrier, or you can use the operation with a write barrier. The function
names follow the same semantics used in the ia64 instruction set. An
atomic operation with a read barrier has the extra suffix 'acq', due to
it having "acquire" semantics. An atomic operation with a write barrier
has the extra suffix 'rel'. These suffixes are inserted between the
name of the operation to perform and the typename. For example, the
atomic_add_int() function now has 3 variants:
- atomic_add_int() - this is the same as the previous function
- atomic_add_acq_int() - this function combines the add operation with a
read memory barrier
- atomic_add_rel_int() - this function combines the add operation with a
write memory barrier
- Add 'ptr' to the list of types that we can perform atomic operations
on. This allows one to do atomic operations on uintptr_t's. This is
useful in the mutex code, for example, because the actual mutex lock is
a pointer.
- Add two new operations for doing loads and stores with memory barriers.
The new load operations use a read barrier before the load, and the
new store operations use a write barrier after the load. For example,
atomic_load_acq_int() will atomically load an integer as well as
enforcing a read barrier.
write caching is disabled on both SCSI and IDE disks where large
memory dumps could take up to an hour to complete.

Without this patch, an SA_SIGINFO style handler can be installed by a linux
app, but if the handler accesses its sip argument, it will get a garbage
pointer and likely segfault.
We currently supply a valid pointer, but its contents are mainly
garbage. Filling this in properly is future work.

Doug really came up with the fix, I'm just the monkey typing. Doug says:
The alpha can only support 64k of globals with $gp pointing at
base+32k so that the code can use 16bit signed offsets from $gp to
access it. .... it is possible to have multiple .got subsections
and the linker handles this with the relocations for 'ldgp' pseudo
instructions. [Without this patch] the code in exception.s has been
linked to use a different gp from locore.s (where pal_kgp is set).

return through doreti to handle ast's. This is necessary for the
clock interrupts to work properly.
- Change the clock interrupts on the x86 to be fast instead of threaded.
This is needed because both hardclock() and statclock() need to run in
the context of the current process, not in a separate thread context.
- Kill the prevproc hack as it is no longer needed.
- We really need Giant when we call psignal(), but we don't want to block
during the clock interrupt. Instead, use two p_flag's in the proc struct
to mark the current process as having a pending SIGVTALRM or a SIGPROF
and let them be delivered during ast() when hardclock() has finished
running.
- Remove CLKF_BASEPRI, which was #ifdef'd out on the x86 anyways. It was
broken on the x86 if it was turned on since cpl is gone. It's only use
was to bogusly run softclock() directly during hardclock() rather than
scheduling an SWI.
- Remove the COM_LOCK simplelock and replace it with a clock_lock spin
mutex. Since the spin mutex already handles disabling/restoring
interrupts appropriately, this also lets us axe all the *_intr() fu.
- Back out the hacks in the APIC_IO x86 cpu_initclocks() code to use
temporary fast interrupts for the APIC trial.
- Add two new process flags P_ALRMPEND and P_PROFPEND to mark the pending
signals in hardclock() that are to be delivered in ast().

to accomodate the changes.
Here's a list of things that have changed (I may have left out a few); for a
relatively complete list, see http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/mtx_journal
* Remove old (once useful) mcluster code for MCLBYTES > PAGE_SIZE which
nobody uses anymore. It was great while it lasted, but now we're moving
onto bigger and better things (Approved by: wollman).
* Practically re-wrote the allocation macros in sys/sys/mbuf.h to accomodate
new allocations which grab the necessary lock.
* Make sure that necessary mbstat variables are manipulated with
corresponding atomic() routines.
* Changed the "wait" routines, cleaned it up, made one routine that does
the job.
* Generalized MWAKEUP() macro. Got rid of m_retry and m_retryhdr, as they
are now included in the generalized "wait" routines.
* Sleep routines now use msleep().
* Free lists have locks.
* etc... probably other stuff I'm missing...
Things to look out for and work on later:
* find a better way to (dynamically) adjust EXT_COUNTERS
* move necessity to recurse on a lock from drain routines by providing
lock-free lower-level version of MFREE() (and possibly m_free()?).
* checkout include of mutex.h in sys/sys/mbuf.h - probably violating
general philosophy here.

Previously, these cards were supported by the lnc driver (and they
still are, but the pcn driver will claim them first), which is fine
except the lnc driver runs them in 16-bit LANCE compatibility mode.
The pcn driver runs these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment
feature to achieve zero-copy receive. (Which puts it in the same
class as the xl, fxp and tl chipsets.) This driver is also MI, so it
will work on the x86 and alpha platforms. (The lnc driver is still
needed to support non-PCI cards. At some point, I'll need to newbusify
it so that it too will me MI.)
The Am79c978 HomePNA adapter is also supported.

- Move the code to translate new-bus interrupt flags into an interrupt thread

sorts of fun things.

to sync up with the x86 code.
