VM_ALLOC_NORMAL instead of VM_ALLOC_SYSTEM when try is TRUE. In other
words, when get_pv_entry() is permitted to fail, it no longer tries as
hard to allocate a page.
Change pmap_enter_quick_locked() to fail rather than wait if it is
unable to allocate a page table page. This prevents a race between
pmap_enter_object() and the page daemon. Specifically, an inactive
page that is a successor to the page that was given to
pmap_enter_quick_locked() might become a cache page while
pmap_enter_quick_locked() waits and later pmap_enter_object() maps
the cache page violating the invariant that cache pages are never
mapped. Similarly, change
pmap_enter_quick_locked() to call pmap_try_insert_pv_entry() rather
than pmap_insert_entry(). Generally speaking,
pmap_enter_quick_locked() is used to create speculative mappings. So,
it should not try hard to allocate memory if free memory is scarce.
Add an assertion that the object containing m_start is locked in
pmap_enter_object(). Remove a similar assertion from
pmap_enter_quick_locked() because that function no longer accesses the

I picked it up again. The scheduler is forked from ULE, but the
algorithm to detect an interactive process is almost completely
different with ULE, it comes from Linux paper "Understanding the
Linux 2.6.8.1 CPU Scheduler", although I still use same word
"score" as a priority boost in ULE scheduler.
Briefly, the scheduler has following characteristic:
1. Timesharing process's nice value is seriously respected,
timeslice and interaction detecting algorithm are based
on nice value.
2. per-cpu scheduling queue and load balancing.
3. O(1) scheduling.
4. Some cpu affinity code in wakeup path.
5. Support POSIX SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
Unlike scheduler 4BSD and ULE which using fuzzy RQ_PPQ, the scheduler
uses 256 priority queues. Unlike ULE which using pull and push, the
scheduelr uses pull method, the main reason is to let relative idle
cpu do the work, but current the whole scheduler is protected by the
big sched_lock, so the benefit is not visible, it really can be worse
than nothing because all other cpu are locked out when we are doing
balancing work, which the 4BSD scheduelr does not have this problem.
The scheduler does not support hyperthreading very well, in fact,
the scheduler does not make the difference between physical CPU and
logical CPU, this should be improved in feature. The scheduler has
priority inversion problem on MP machine, it is not good for
realtime scheduling, it can cause realtime process starving.

other timeouts could not happen while suspending, including timeouts
for things like msleep. This caused the system to hang on suspend

socket which used a timeout to wait for it to be done.
APM now creates a thread when it is enabled, and deletes the thread
when it is disabled. This thread takes the place of the timeout by
doing its polling every ~.9s. When the thread is disabled, it will
wakeup early, otherwise it times out and polls the varius things the
old timeout polled (APM events, suspend delays, etc).
This makes my Sony VAIO 505TS suspend/resume correctly when APM is
enabled (ACPI is black listed on my 505TS).
This will likely fix other problems with the suspend path where
drivers would sleep with msleep and/or do other timeouts. Maybe
there's some special case code that would use DELAY while suspending
and msleep otherwise that can be revisited and removed.

Add back in a scheme to emulate old type major/minor numbers via hooks into
stat, linprocfs to return major/minors that Linux app's expect. Currently
only /dev/null is always registered. Drivers can register via the Linux
type shim similar to the ioctl shim but by using
linux_device_register_handler/linux_device_unregister_handler functions.
The structure is:
struct linux_device_handler {
char *bsd_driver_name;
char *linux_driver_name;
char *bsd_device_name;
char *linux_device_name;
int linux_major;
int linux_minor;
int linux_char_device;
};
Linprocfs uses this to display the major number of the driver. The
soon to be available linsysfs will use it to fill in the driver name.
Linux_stat uses it to translate the major/minor into Linux type values.
Note major numbers are dynamically assigned via passing in a -1 for
the major number so we don't need to keep track of them.
This is somewhat needed due to us switching to our devfs. MegaCli
will not run until I add in the linsysfs and mfi Linux compat changes.

Remove the code to dyanmically change the pv_entry limits. Go back
to a single fixed kva reservation for pv entries, like was done
before when using the uma zone. Go back to never freeing pages
back to the free pool after they are no longer used, just like
before.
This stops the lock order reversal due to aquiring the kernel map
lock while pmap was locked.
This fixes the recursive panic if invariants are enabled.
The problem was that allocating/freeing kva causes vm_map_entry
nodes to be allocated/freed. That can recurse back into pmap as
new pages are hooked up to kvm and hence all the problem.
Allocating/freeing kva indirectly allocate/frees memory.
So, by going back to a single fixed size kva block and an index,
we avoid the recursion panics and the LOR.
The problem is that now with a linear block of kva, we have no
mechanism to track holes once pages are freed. UMA has the same
problem when using custom object for a zone and a fixed reservation
of kva. Simple solutions like having a bitmap would work, but would
be very inefficient when there are hundreds of thousands of bits
in the map. A first-free pointer is similarly flawed because pages
can be freed at random and the first-free pointer would be rewinding
huge amounts. If we could allocate memory for tree strucures or
an external freelist, that would work. Except we cannot allocate/free
memory here because we cannot allocate/free address space to use
it in. Anyway, my change here reverts back to the UMA behavior of
not freeing pages for now, thereby avoiding holes in the map.
ups@ had a truely evil idea that I'll investigate. It should allow
freeing unused pages again by giving us a no-cost way to track the
holes in the kva block. But in the meantime, this should get people
booting with witness and/or invariants again.
Footnote: amd64 doesn't have this problem because of the direct map
access method. I'd done all my witness/invariants testing there. I'd
never considered that the harmless-looking kmem_alloc/kmem_free calls
would cause such a problem and it didn't show up on the boot test.

eighth bit (0x080). It is the PS bit in a PDE and the PAT bit in a

per page = effectively 12.19 bytes per pv entry after overheads).
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 24 byte pv entries (two 8-byte tailq
nodes, a 4 byte pointer, and a 4 byte address), we allocate a page at a
time per process. This provides 336 pv entries per process (actually, per
pmap address space) and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since
we now can track per-process pv entries implicitly. The pointer to
the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to find the metadata
on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by all 336 entries.
There is an 11-int bitmap for the freelist of those 336 entries.
This is mostly a mechanical conversion from amd64, except:
* i386 has to allocate kvm and map the pages, amd64 has them outside of kvm
* native word size is smaller, so bitmaps etc become 32 bit instead of 64
* no dump_add_page() etc stuff because they are in kvm always.
* various pmap internals tweaks because pmap uses direct map on amd64 but
on i386 it has to use sched_pin and temporary mappings.
Also, sysctl vm.pmap.pv_entry_max and vm.pmap.shpgperproc are now
dynamic sysctls. Like on amd64, i386 can now tune the pv entry limits
without a recompile or reboot.
This is important because of the following scenario. If you have a 1GB
file (262144 pages) mmap()ed into 50 processes, that requires 13 million
pv entries. At 24 bytes per pv entry, that is 314MB of ram and kvm, while
at 12 bytes it is 157MB. A 157MB saving is significant.

- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat
ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently
using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other
"hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with
local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear
if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from
somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical
clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on
certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical
cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway.
- We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via
the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC
driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be
shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the
same way that I/O APIC pins are.
- Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an
interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID.
- The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to
handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing,
it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we
wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0
for now).
- For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first
interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now
bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs.
- Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would
be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we
could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts,
or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs.
The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks
had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work
fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose

to clear an earlier single-step simualted via a breakpoint). We only
do one to avoid races. Also, by making the EINVAL error for unknown
requests be part of the default: case in the switch, the various
switch cases can now just break out to return which removes a _lot_ of
duplicated PRELE and proc unlocks, etc. Also, it fixes at least one bug
where a LWP ptrace command could return EINVAL with the proc lock still
held.
- Changed the locking for ptrace_single_step(), ptrace_set_pc(), and
ptrace_clear_single_step() to always be called with the proc lock
held (it was a mixed bag previously). Alpha and arm have to drop
the lock while the mess around with breakpoints, but other archs
avoid extra lock release/acquires in ptrace(). I did have to fix a
couple of other consumers in kern_kse and a few other places to
hold the proc lock and PHOLD.

Rename struct thread's td_sticks to td_pticks, we will need the
other name for more appropriately named use shortly. Reduce it
from uint64_t to u_int.
Clear td_pticks whenever we enter the kernel instead of recording
its value as reference for userret(). Use the absolute value of
td->pticks in userret() and eliminate third argument.
Keep track of time spent by the cpu in various contexts in units of
"cputicks" and scale to real-world microsec^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hclock_t
only when somebody wants to inspect the numbers.
For now "cputicks" are still derived from the current timecounter
and therefore things should by definition remain sensible also on
SMP machines. (The main reason for this first milestone commit is
to verify that hypothesis.)
On slower machines, the avoided multiplications to normalize timestams
at every context switch, comes out as a 5-7% better score on the
unixbench/context1 microbenchmark. On more modern hardware no change
in performance is seen.

The patch crudely forces the NIC out of operating mode before the nve(4)
driver can initialize it; this is required to properly initialize the NIC.
It is XBox-specific, as this condition can only occur on XBoxes (Most loaders
will simply leave the NIC running, forcing us to use a crude workaround like
this to get it in a workable condition). Due to the XBox-only aspect, this has
been solved in XBox-specific initialization code and not within nve(4).

is a fatal fault if we are holding any non-sleepable locks. This should
cut down on the number of bogus LORs we currently get when the kernel
panics due to a NULL (or bogus) pointer dereference that goes wandering
off into the VM system which tries to acquire locks and then kicks off
the spurious LORs. This should probably be ported to all the archs at
some point.

- provide an interface (macros) to the page coloring part of the VM system,
this allows to try different coloring algorithms without the need to
touch every file [1]
- make the page queue tuning values readable: sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue
- autotuning of the page coloring values based upon the cache size instead
of options in the kernel config (disabling of the page coloring as a
kernel option is still possible)
MD changes:
- detection of the cache size: only IA32 and AMD64 (untested) contains
cache size detection code, every other arch just comes with a dummy
function (this results in the use of default values like it was the
case without the autotuning of the page coloring)
- print some more info on Intel CPU's (like we do on AMD and Transmeta
CPU's)
Note to AMD owners (IA32 and AMD64): please run "sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue"
and report if the cache* values are zero (= bug in the cache detection code)
or not.

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.
