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).

reorders a flag that was specific to AXP and thus changes the ABI there.
The interface still relies on bus_space definitions found in <machine/bus.h>
so it cannot be included on its own yet, but that will be fixed at a later
date. Add an MD <machine/bus_dma.h> for ever arch for consistency and to
allow for future MD augmentation of the API. sparc64 makes heavy use of
this right now due to its different bus_dma implemenation.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into

these two reasons:
1. On ia64 a function pointer does not hold the address of the first
instruction of a functions implementation. It holds the address
of a function descriptor. Hence the user(), btrap(), eintr() and
bintr() prototypes are wrong for getting the actual code address.
2. The logic forces interrupt, trap and exception entry points to
be layed-out contiguously. This can not be achieved on ia64 and is
generally just bad programming.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_USER macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address which represents any frompc that falls outside
the kernel text range. The macro can expand to ~0U to bail out in
that case.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_INTR macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address to represent a call to a trap or interrupt
handler. This to avoid that the trap or interrupt handler appear to
be called from everywhere in the call graph. The macro can expand
to ~0U to prevent adjusting frompc. Note that the argument is selfpc,
not frompc.
This commit defines the macros on all architectures equivalently to
the original code in sys/libkern/mcount.c. People can take it from

According to gcc, long doubles are 64-bits, rather than 128 bits

long doubles as 64-bits, and not 128 bits, so we are in good company.
