ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

with the INTR_FILTER-enabled MI code. Basically this consists of
registering an interrupt controller (of which there can be multiple
and optionally different ones either per host-to-foo bridge or shared
amongst host-to-foo bridges in any one machine) along with an interrupt
vector as specific argument for all the interrupt vectors used by a
given host-to-foo bridge (roughly similar to registering interrupt
sources on amd64 and i386), providing functions to enable, clear and
disable the interrupts of the children beneath the bridge.
This also includes:
- No longer entering a critical section in tl0_intr() and tl1_intr()
for executing interrupt handlers but rather let the handlers enter
it themselves so in the case of intr_event_handle() we don't enter
a nested critical section.
- Adding infrastructure for binding delivery of interrupt vectors to
specific CPUs which later on can be interfaced with the code from
amd64/i386 for binding interrupts to specific CPUs.
- Getting rid of the wrapper hack introduced along the lines of the
API changes for INTR_FILTER which as a side-effect caused interrupts
associated with ithread handlers only to get the elevated priority
of those associated with filters ("fast handlers") (this removes the
hack also in the non-INTR_FILTER case).
- Disabling (by not clearing) an interrupt in the interrupt controller
until all associated handlers have been executed, which is crucial
for the typical locking strategy of NIC drivers in order to work
correctly in case of shared interrupts. This was a more or less
theoretical problem on sparc64 though, as shared interrupts are
rather uncommon there except for the on-board SCCs and UARTs.
Note that due to the behavior of at least of some of the interrupt
controllers used on sparc64 an enable+EOI instead of a disable+EOI
approach (as implied by the INTR_FILTER MI code and implemented on
other architectures) is used as the latter can cause lost interrupts
or in the worst case interrupt starvation.
o Correct a typo in sbus_alloc_resource() which caused (pass-through)
allocations to only work down to the grandchildren of the bus, which
wasn't a real problem so far as we don't support any devices which are
great-grandchildren or greater of a U2S bridge, yet.
o In fhc(4) use bus_{read,write}_4() instead of bus_space_{read,write}_4()
in order to get rid of sc_bh and sc_bt in the fhc_softc. Also get rid
of some other unneeded members in fhc_softc.

instead of per IOMMU, so we no longer need to program all of them
identically in systems having multiple IOMMUs. This continues the
rototilling of the nexus(4) done about 5 months ago, which amongst
others changed nexus(4) and the drivers for host-to-foo bridges
to provide bus_get_dma_tag methods, allowing to handle DMA tags in
a hierarchical way and to link them with devices.
This still doesn't move the silicon bug workarounds for Sabre (and
in the uncommitted schizo(4) for Tomatillo) bridges into special
bus_dma_tag_create() and bus_dmamap_sync() methods though, as w/o
fully newbus'ified bus_dma_tag_create() and bus_dma_tag_destroy()
this still requires too much hackery, i.e. per-child parent DMA
tags in the parent driver.
- Let the host-to-foo drivers supply the maximum physical address
of the IOMMU accompanying the bridges. Previously iommu(4) hard-
coded an upper limit of 16GB, which actually only applies to the
IOMMUs of the Hummingbird and Sabre bridges. The Psycho variants
as well as the U2S in fact can can translate to up to 2TB, i.e.
translate to 41-bit physical addresses. According to the recently
available Tomatillo documentation these bridges even translate to
43-bit physical addresses and hints at the Schizo bridges doing
43 bits as well.
This fixes the issue the FreeBSD 6.0 todo list item "Max RAM on
sparc64" was refering to and pretty much obsoletes the lack of
support for bounce buffers on sparc64.

These CPUs use an enhanced layout of the interrupt vector dispatch
and dispatch status registers in order to allow sending IPIs to
multiple targets simultaneously. Thus support for these CPUs was
put in a newly added cheetah_ipi_selected(). This is intended to
be pointed to by cpu_ipi_selected, which now is a function pointer,
in order to avoid cpu_impl checks once booted. Alternatively it
can point to spitfire_ipi_selected(), which was renamed from
cpu_ipi_selected(). Consequently cpu_ipi_send() was also renamed
to spitfire_ipi_send() (there's no need for a cheetah equivalent
of this so far). Initialization of the cpu_ipi_selected pointer
and other requirements is done in mp_init(), which was renamed
from mp_tramp_alloc(), as cpu_mp_start() isn't called on UP
systems while cpu_ipi_selected() is. As a side-effect this allows
to make mp_tramp static to sys/sparc64/sparc64/mp_machdep.c.

only 4; that should be fine though as according to OpenSolaris
there are no sun4u machines with more than 4 JBus-CPUs).

- In cpu_mp_start() check for upa-portid vs. portid depending on
cpu_impl for consistency with nexus(4).

told to IPI itself as sun4u CPUs just can't do that.
- In spitfire_ipi_send() do a MEMBAR #Sync after writing the
interrupt vector data as we want to make sure the payload was
actually written before we trigger the dispatch.

sun4v nexus(4) in turn is based on):
o Change nexus(4) to manage the resources of its children so the
respective device drivers don't need to figure them out of OFW
themselves.
o Change nexus(4) to provide the ofw_bus KOBJ interface instead of
using IVARs for supplying the OFW node and the subset of standard
properties of its children. Together with the previous change this
also allows to fully take advantage of newbus in that drivers like
fhc(4), which attach on multiple parent busses, no longer require
different bus front-ends as obtaining the OFW node and properties
as well as resource allocation works the same for all supported
busses. As such this change also is part 4/4 of allowing creator(4)
to work in USIII-based machines as it allows this driver to attach
on both nexus(4) and upa(4). On the other hand removing these IVARs
breaks API compatibility with the powerpc nexus(4) but which isn't
that bad as a) sparc64 currently doesn't share any device driver
hanging off of nexus(4) with powerpc and b) they were no longer
compatible regarding OFW-related extensions at the pci(4) level
since quite some time.
o Provide bus_get_dma_tag methods in nexus(4) and its children in
order to handle DMA tags in a hierarchical way and get rid of the
sparc64_root_dma_tag kludge. Together with the previous two items
this changes also allows to completely get rid of the nexus(4)
IVAR interface. It also includes:
- pushing the constraints previously specified by the nexus_dmatag
down into the DMA tags of psycho(4) and sbus(4) as it's their
IOMMUs which induce these restrictions (and nothing at the
nexus(4) or anything that would warrant specifying them there),
- fixing some obviously wrong constraints of the psycho(4) and
sbus(4) DMA tags, which happened to not actually be used with
the sparc64_root_dma_tag kludge in place and therefore didn't
cause problems so far,
- replacing magic constants for constraints with macros as far
as it is obvious as to where they come from.
This doesn't include taking advantage of the newbus way to get
the parent DMA tags implemented by this change in order to divorce
the IOTSBs of the PCI and SBus IOMMUs or for implementing the
workaround for the DMA sync bug in Sabre (and Tomatillo) bridges,
yet, though.
o Get rid of the notion that nexus(4) (mostly) reflects an UPA bus
by replacing ofw_upa.h and with ofw_nexus.h (which was repo-copied
from ofw_upa.h) and renaming its content, which actually applies to
all of Fireplane/Safari, JBus and UPA (in the host bus case), as
appropriate.
o Just use M_DEVBUF instead of a separate M_NEXUS malloc type for
allocating the device info for the children of nexus(4). This is
done in order to not need to export M_NEXUS when deriving drivers
for subordinate busses from the nexus(4) class.
o Use the DEFINE_CLASS_0() macro to declare the nexus(4) driver so
we can derive subclasses from it.
o Const'ify the nexus_excl_name and nexus_excl_type arrays as well
as add 'associations' and 'rsc', which are pseudo-devices without
resources and therefore of no real interest for nexus(4), to the
former.
o Let the nexus(4) device memory rman manage the entire 64-bit address
space instead of just the UPA_MEMSTART to UPA_MEMEND subregion as
Fireplane/Safari- and JBus-based machines use multiple ranges,
which can't be as easily divided as in the case of UPA (limiting
the address space only served for sanity checking anyway).
o Use M_WAITOK instead of M_NOWAIT when allocating the device info
for children of nexus(4) in order to give one less opportunity
for adding devices to nexus(4) to fail.
o While adapting the drivers affected by the above nexus(4) changes,
change them to take advantage of rman_get_rid() instead of caching
the RIDs assigned to allocated resources, now that the RIDs of
resources are correctly set.
o In iommu(4) and nexus(4) replace hard-coded functions names, which
actually became outdated in several places, in panic strings and
status massages with __func__. [1]
o Use driver_filter_t in prototypes where appropriate.
o Add my copyright to creator(4), fhc(4), nexus(4), psycho(4) and
sbus(4) as I changed considerable amounts of these drivers as well
as added a bunch of new features, workarounds for silicon bugs etc.

pmap_clear_write() is implemented on all of our supported
architectures, I intend to replace all calls to pmap_page_protect() by
calls to pmap_clear_write(). Why? Both the use and implementation of
pmap_page_protect() in our virtual memory system has subtle errors,
specifically, the management of execute permission is broken on some
architectures. The "prot" argument to pmap_page_protect() should
behave differently from the "prot" argument to other pmap functions.
Instead of meaning, "give the specified access rights to all of the
physical page's mappings," it means "don't take away the specified
access rights from all of the physical page's mappings, but do take
away the ones that aren't specified." However, owing to our i386
legacy, i.e., no support for no-execute rights, all but one invocation
of pmap_page_protect() specifies VM_PROT_READ only, when the intent
is, in fact, to remove only write permission. Consequently, a
faithful implementation of pmap_page_protect(), e.g., ia64, would
remove execute permission as well as write permission. On the other
hand, some architectures that support execute permission have
basically ignored whether or not VM_PROT_EXECUTE is passed to
pmap_page_protect(), e.g., amd64 and sparc64. This change represents
the first step in replacing pmap_page_protect() by the less subtle
pmap_clear_write() that is already implemented on amd64, i386, and

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.

- Split struct ithd up into two pieces. struct intr_event holds the list
of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event. This
means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
no handlers. It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
intr_foo naming convention. This did require renaming the powerpc
MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
powerpc. This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
to the same interrupt. Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
either. Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
exclusively. The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
dumping their state. It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
braindead behavior. The code is present, though, it is just under
#if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more
readable. Previously this code was all in the middle of ithread_loop()
and indented halfway across the screen.
