there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

For now this'll match up with the "wakeups"; although I'll dig deeper into
this to see if we can determine which sleep state the CPU managed to get
into. Most things I've seen these days only expose up to C2 or C3 via
ACPI even though the CPU goes all the way down to C6 or C7.
When CPU becomes idle, cpu_idleclock() calculates time to the next timer
event in order to reprogram hw timer. Return that time in sbintime_t to
the caller and pass it to acpi_cpu_idle(), where it can be used as one
more factor (quite precise) to extimate furter sleep time and choose
optimal sleep state. This is a preparatory change for further callout
improvements will be committed in the next days.

For C1 and C2 states use cpu_ticks() to measure sleep time instead of much
slower ACPI timer. We can't do it for C3, as TSC may stop there. But it is
less important there as wake up latency is high any way.
For C1 and C2 states do not check/clear bus mastering activity status, as
it is important only for C3. As side effect it can make CPU enter C2 instead
of C3 if last BM activity was two sleeps back (unlike one before), but
that may be even good because of collecting more statistics. Premature BM
wakeup from C3, entered because of overestimation, can easily be worse then
entering C2 from both performance and power consumption points of view.
Together on dual Xeon E5645 system on sequential 512 bytes read test this

Adjust power_profile script to handle the new world order as well.
Some vendors are opting out of a C2 state and only defining C1 & C3. This
leads the acpi_cpu display to indicate that the machine supports C1 & C2
which is caused by the (mis)use of the index of the cx_state array as the
ACPI_STATE_CX value.
e.g. the code was pretending that cx_state[i] would
always convert to i by subtracting 1.
cx_state[2] == ACPI_STATE_C3
cx_state[1] == ACPI_STATE_C2
cx_state[0] == ACPI_STATE_C1
however, on certain machines this would lead to
cx_state[1] == ACPI_STATE_C3
cx_state[0] == ACPI_STATE_C1

function always returned the nominal frequency instead of current frequency
because we use RDTSC instruction to calculate difference in CPU ticks, which
is supposedly constant for the case. Now we support cpu_get_nominal_mhz()

because cpu_est_clockrate() is often times abused to find maximum frequency

ACPI specification sates that if P_LVL2_LAT > 100, then a system doesn't
support C2; if P_LVL3_LAT > 1000, then C3 is not supported.
But there are no such rules for Cx state data returned by _CST. If a
state is not supported it should not be included into the return
package. In other words, any latency value returned by _CST is valid,
it's up to the OS and/or user to decide whether to use it.

The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

Some current systems dynamically load SSDT(s) when _PDC/_OSC method
of Processor is evaluated. Other devices in ACPI namespace may access
objects defined in the dynamic SSDT. Drivers for such devices might
have to have a rather high priority, because of other dependencies.
Good example is acpi_ec driver for EC.
Thus we attach to Processors as early as possible to load the SSDTs
before any other drivers may try to evaluate control methods.
It also seems to be a natural order for a processor in a device
hierarchy.
On the other hand, some child devices on acpi cpu bus need to access
other system resources like PCI configuration space of chipset devices,
so they need to be probed and attached rather late.
For this reason we probe and attach the cpu bus at
SI_SUB_CONFIGURE:SI_ORDER_MIDDLE SYSINIT level.
In the future this could be done more elegantly via multipass.
Please note that acpi drivers that might access ACPI namespace from
device_identify will do that before _PDC/_OSC of Processors are evaluated.
Legacy cpu driver is not affected by this change.

X-MFC-Note: perhaps the ivar should stay for ABI stability
The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
