79065dba2a Moved signal handling and rescheduling from userret() to ast() so that
they aren't in the usual path of execution for syscalls and traps.
The main complication for this is that we have to set flags to control
ast() everywhere that changes the signal mask.

Avoid locking in userret() in most of the remaining cases.

01c04d2de9 Change the way we ensure td_ucred is NULL if DIAGNOSTIC is defined.
Instead of caching the ucred reference, just go ahead and eat the
decerement and increment of the refcount.  Now that Giant is pushed down
into crfree(), we no longer have to get Giant in the common case.  In the
case when we are actually free'ing the ucred, we would normally free it on
the next kernel entry, so the cost there is not new, just in a different
place.  This also removse td_cache_ucred from struct thread.  This is
still only done #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC.

77c4066424 Add some DIAGNOSTIC code.
While in userland, keep the thread's ucred reference in a shadow
field so that the usual place to store it is NULL.
If DIAGNOSTIC is not set, the thread ucred is kept valid until the next
kernel entry, at which time it is checked against the process cred
and possibly corrected. Produces a BIG speedup in
kernels with INVARIANTS set. (A previous commit corrected it
for the non INVARIANTS case already)

c86b6ff551 Change the preemption code for software interrupt thread schedules and
mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:

The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe.  Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer.  This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs.  Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called.  (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)

I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha.  I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha
code, so I expect it will work fine.  PowerPC and ARM do not yet have
interrupt code in the tree so they shouldn't be broken.  Sparc64 is
broken, but that's been ok'd by jake and tmm who will be fixing the
interrupt code for sparc64 shortly.

7e1f6dfe9d Modify the critical section API as follows:
- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
  prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
  count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
  a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
  to nesting level 0.  This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
  that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
  cpu_critical_enter/exit.  MI code such as device drivers and spin
  mutexes use the MI wrappers.  Note that since the MI wrappers store
  the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
  arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
  assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().

356861db03 Remove the MPSAFE keyword from the parser for syscalls.master.
Instead introduce the [M] prefix to existing keywords.  e.g.
MSTD is the MP SAFE version of STD.  This is prepatory for a
massive Giant lock pushdown.  The old MPSAFE keyword made
syscalls.master too messy.

Begin comments MP-Safe procedures with the comment:
/*
 * MPSAFE
 */
This comments means that the procedure may be called without
Giant held (The procedure itself may still need to obtain
Giant temporarily to do its thing).

sv_prepsyscall() is now MP SAFE and assumed to be MP SAFE
sv_transtrap() is now MP SAFE and assumed to be MP SAFE

ktrsyscall() and ktrsysret() are now MP SAFE (Giant Pushdown)
trapsignal() is now MP SAFE (Giant Pushdown)

Places which used to do the if (mtx_owned(&Giant)) mtx_unlock(&Giant)
test in syscall[2]() in */*/trap.c now do not.  Instead they
explicitly unlock Giant if they previously obtained it, and then
assert that it is no longer held to catch broken system calls.

Rebuild syscall tables.

688ebe120c - Close races with signals and other AST's being triggered while we are in
the process of exiting the kernel.  The ast() function now loops as long
  as the PS_ASTPENDING or PS_NEEDRESCHED flags are set.  It returns with
  preemption disabled so that any further AST's that arrive via an
  interrupt will be delayed until the low-level MD code returns to user
  mode.
- Use u_int's to store the tick counts for profiling purposes so that we
  do not need sched_lock just to read p_sticks.  This also closes a
  problem where the call to addupc_task() could screw up the arithmetic
  due to non-atomic reads of p_sticks.
- Axe need_proftick(), aston(), astoff(), astpending(), need_resched(),
  clear_resched(), and resched_wanted() in favor of direct bit operations
  on p_sflag.
- Fix up locking with sched_lock some.  In addupc_intr(), use sched_lock
  to ensure pr_addr and pr_ticks are updated atomically with setting
  PS_OWEUPC.  In ast() we clear pr_ticks atomically with clearing
  PS_OWEUPC.  We also do not grab the lock just to test a flag.
- Simplify the handling of Giant in ast() slightly.

6caa8a1501 Overhaul of the SMP code. Several portions of the SMP kernel support have
been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made
to support Alpha SMP.

- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
  into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively.  hardclock()
  and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
  that UP systems will run as before.  For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
  to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
  main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt.  For the alpha
  4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
  we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
  functions on the secondaries.  For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
  usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
  to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
  *_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
  involve less hackery.  Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
  sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s).  AST IPIs now just basically
  return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
  astpending or needresched flags themselves.  This also removes the loop in
  forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
  around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
  a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
  implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
  header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's.   The IPI API's from
  machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
  SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
  Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.

feb43c5f37 The p_md.md_regs member of proc is used in signal handling to reference
the the original trapframe of the syscall, trap, or interrupt that entered
the kernel.  Before SMPng, ast's were handled via a psuedo trap at the
end of doerti.  With the SMPng commit, ast's were broken out into a
separate ast() function that was called from doreti to match the behavior
of other architectures.  Unfortunately, when this was done, the
p_md.md_regs member of curproc was not updateda in ast(), thus when
signals are handled by userret() after an interrupt that returns to
userland, we end up using a stale trapframe that will result in the
registers from the old trapframe overwriting the real trapframe and
smashing all the registers right before we return to usermode.  The saved
%cs:%eip from where we were in usermode are saved in the trapframe for

d5a08a6065 Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly.
- All processes go into the same array of queues, with different
  scheduling classes using different portions of the array.  This
  allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into
  interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
  32.  We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
  may not be optimal.  The new run queue code was written with this
  in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
  constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter.  This
  is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues.  Implement
  wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
  the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
  propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
  symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
  This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
  it should yield.  We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority().  It should now have the desired
  effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
  idle loop.  It interfered with propogate_priority() because
  the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
  and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
  onto it.  The idle process should not do anything except idle.
  vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
  kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
  system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface.  Deliberately
  change its size by adjusting the spare fields.  It remained the same
  size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
  would parse the data incorrectly.  The size constraint should really
  be changed to an arbitrary version number.  Also add a debug.sizeof
  sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.
