90edf67ecf POSIX states that #include <signal.h> shall make both mcontext_t and
ucontext_t available.  Our code even has XXX comment about this.

Add a bit of compliance by moving struct __ucontext definition into
sys/_ucontext.h and including it into signal.h and sys/ucontext.h.

Several machine/ucontext.h headers were changed to use namespace-safe
types (like uint64_t->__uint64_t) to not depend on sys/types.h.
struct __stack_t from sys/signal.h is made always visible in private
namespace to satisfy sys/_ucontext.h requirements.

Apparently mips _types.h pollutes global namespace with f_register_t
type definition.  This commit does not try to fix the issue.

PowerPC systems with real Open Firmware use the CHRP-derived binding that

45005f7907 - (Ab)use udivx for dividing the u_int pc_cpuid when implementing
CPU_ISSET(), CPU_SET etc. in sparc64 asm. This approach has the
  benefit of not clobbering %y, allowing to revert r222827 and
  partially r222828.
- In r222828, CATR() already was changed to use the equivalent of
  PCPU_GET(cpuid) instead of the MD module ID for KTR_CPU, so
  belatedly also catch up with the C side of ktr(9). Originally,
  in r203838 CATR() was moved away from directly reading the
  module ID or equivalent as that became impractical with other
  CPU types than USI/II supported. With r222828 in place, per-CPU
  data generally is set up soon enough, though, that employing
  PCPU things in ktr(9) also for use during early stages works.
- Unfortunately, an exception to the latter is the ktr(9) use
  in pmap_bootstrap(), which actually is run so early that even
  checking for bootverbose being set via the loader doesn't work.
  Consequently, replace the ktr(9) use in pmap_bootstrap() with
  OF_printf(9) and put it under #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC instead.

7f911abe54 Add support to libkvm for reading vmcores from other architectures.
- Add a kvaddr_type to represent kernel virtual addresses instead of
  unsigned long.
- Add a struct kvm_nlist which is a stripped down version of struct nlist
  that uses kvaddr_t for n_value.
- Add a kvm_native() routine that returns true if an open kvm descriptor
  is for a native kernel and memory image.
- Add a kvm_open2() function similar to kvm_openfiles().  It drops the
  unused 'swapfile' argument and adds a new function pointer argument for
  a symbol resolving function.  Native kernels still use _fdnlist() from
  libc to resolve symbols if a resolver function is not supplied, but cross
  kernels require a resolver.
- Add a kvm_nlist2() function similar to kvm_nlist() except that it uses
  struct kvm_nlist instead of struct nlist.
- Add a kvm_read2() function similar to kvm_read() except that it uses
  kvaddr_t instead of unsigned long for the kernel virtual address.
- Add a new kvm_arch switch of routines needed by a vmcore backend.
  Each backend is responsible for implementing kvm_read2() for a given
  vmcore format.
- Use libelf to read headers from ELF kernels and cores (except for
  powerpc cores).
- Add internal helper routines for the common page offset hash table used
  by the minidump backends.
- Port all of the existing kvm backends to implement a kvm_arch switch and
  to be cross-friendly by using private constants instead of ones that
  vary by platform (e.g. PAGE_SIZE).  Static assertions are present when
  a given backend is compiled natively to ensure the private constants
  match the real ones.
- Enable all of the existing vmcore backends on all platforms.  This means
  that libkvm on any platform should be able to perform KVA translation
  and read data from a vmcore of any platform.

713841afb2 Add two new pmap functions:
vm_offset_t pmap_quick_enter_page(vm_page_t m)
void pmap_quick_remove_page(vm_offset_t kva)

These will create and destroy a temporary, CPU-local KVA mapping of a specified page.

Guarantees:
--Will not sleep and will not fail.
--Safe to call under a non-sleepable lock or from an ithread

Restrictions:
--Not guaranteed to be safe to call from an interrupt filter or under a spin mutex on all platforms
--Current implementation does not guarantee more than one page of mapping space across all platforms. MI code should not make nested calls to pmap_quick_enter_page.
--MI code should not perform locking while holding onto a mapping created by pmap_quick_enter_page

The idea is to use this in busdma, for bounce buffer copies as well as virtually-indexed cache maintenance on mips and arm.

NOTE: the non-i386, non-amd64 implementations of these functions still need review and testing.

7815d3948c o Revert the other functional half of r239864, i. e. the merge of r134227
from x86 to use smp_ipi_mtx spin lock not only for smp_rendezvous_cpus()
  but also for the MD cache invalidation, TLB demapping and remote register
  reading IPIs due to the following reasons:
  - The cross-IPI SMP deadlock x86 otherwise is subject to can't happen on
    sparc64. That's because on sparc64, spin locks don't disable interrupts
    completely but only raise the processor interrupt level to PIL_TICK. This
    means that IPIs still get delivered and direct dispatch IPIs such as the
    cache invalidation etc. IPIs in question are still executed.
  - In smp_rendezvous_cpus(), smp_ipi_mtx is held not only while sending an
    IPI_RENDEZVOUS, but until all CPUs have processed smp_rendezvous_action().
    Consequently, smp_ipi_mtx may be locked for an extended amount of time as
    queued IPIs (as opposed to the direct ones) such as IPI_RENDEZVOUS are
    scheduled via a soft interrupt. Moreover, given that this soft interrupt
    is only delivered at PIL_RENDEZVOUS, processing of smp_rendezvous_action()
    on a target may be interrupted by f. e. a tick interrupt at PIL_TICK, in
    turn leading to the target in question trying to send an IPI by itself
    while IPI_RENDEZVOUS isn't fully handled, yet, and, thus, resulting in a
    deadlock.
o As mentioned in the commit message of r245850, on least some sun4u platforms
  concurrent sending of IPIs by different CPUs is fatal. Therefore, hold the
  reintroduced MD ipi_mtx also while delivering cross-traps via MI helpers,
  i. e. ipi_{all_but_self,cpu,selected}().
o Akin to x86, let the last CPU to process cpu_mp_bootstrap() set smp_started
  instead of the BSP in cpu_mp_unleash(). This ensures that all APs actually
  are started, when smp_started is no longer 0.
o In all MD and MI IPI helpers, check for smp_started == 1 rather than for
  smp_cpus > 1 or nothing at all. This avoids races during boot causing IPIs
  trying to be delivered to APs that in fact aren't up and running, yet.
  While at it, move setting of the cpu_ipi_{selected,single}() pointers to
  the appropriate delivery functions from mp_init() to cpu_mp_start() where
  it's better suited and allows to get rid of the global isjbus variable.
o Given that now concurrent IPI delivery no longer is possible, also nuke
  the delays before completely disabling interrupts again in the CPU-specific
  cross-trap delivery functions, previously giving other CPUs a window for
  sending IPIs on their part. Actually, we now should be able to entirely get
  rid of completely disabling interrupts in these functions. Such a change
  needs more testing, though.
o In {s,}tick_get_timecount_mp(), make the {s,}tick variable static. While not
  necessary for correctness, this avoids page faults when accessing the stack
  of a foreign CPU as {s,}tick now is locked into the TLBs as part of static
  kernel data. Hence, {s,}tick_get_timecount_mp() always execute as fast as
  possible, avoiding jitter.

8954a9a4e6 Add the atomic_thread_fence() family of functions with intent to
provide a semantic defined by the C11 fences with corresponding
memory_order.

atomic_thread_fence_acq() gives r | r, w, where r and w are read and
write accesses, and | denotes the fence itself.

atomic_thread_fence_rel() is r, w | w.

atomic_thread_fence_acq_rel() is the combination of the acquire and
release in single operation.  Note that reads after the acq+rel fence
could be made visible before writes preceeding the fence.

atomic_thread_fence_seq_cst() orders all accesses before/after the
fence, and the fence itself is globally ordered against other
sequentially consistent atomic operations.

c70af4875e As of r257209, all architectures have defined VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE. In other
words, every architecture is now auto-sizing the kmem arena.  This revision
changes kmeminit() so that the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE becomes
mandatory and the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE becomes optional.

Replace or eliminate all existing definitions of VM_KMEM_SIZE.  With
auto-sizing enabled, VM_KMEM_SIZE effectively became an alternate spelling
for VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN on most architectures.  Use VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN for
clarity.

Change kmeminit() so that the effect of defining VM_KMEM_SIZE is similar to
that of setting the tunable vm.kmem_size.  Whereas the macros
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} have had the same effect as the tunables
vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, the effects of VM_KMEM_SIZE and vm.kmem_size
have been distinct.  In particular, whereas VM_KMEM_SIZE was overridden by
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} and vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, vm.kmem_size
was not.  Remedy this inconsistency.  Now, VM_KMEM_SIZE can be used to set
the size of the kmem arena at compile-time without that value being
overridden by auto-sizing.

Update the nearby comments to reflect the kmem submap being replaced by the
kmem arena.  Stop duplicating the auto-sizing formula in every machine-
dependent vmparam.h and place it in kmeminit() where auto-sizing takes
place.

70a7dd5d5b Fix issues with zeroing and fetching the counters, on x86 and ppc64.
Issues were noted by Bruce Evans and are present on all architectures.

On i386, a counter fetch should use atomic read of 64bit value,
otherwise carry from the increment on other CPU could be lost for the
given fetch, making error of 2^32.  If 64bit read (cmpxchg8b) is not
available on the machine, it cannot be SMP and it is enough to disable
preemption around read to avoid the split read.

On x86 the counter increment is not atomic on purpose, which makes it
possible for the store of the incremented result to override just
zeroed per-cpu slot.  The effect would be a counter going off by
arbitrary value after zeroing.  Perform the counter zeroing on the
same processor which does the increments, making the operations
mutually exclusive.  On i386, same as for the fetching, if the
cmpxchg8b is not available, machine is not SMP and we disable
preemption for zeroing.

PowerPC64 is treated the same as amd64.

For other architectures, the changes made to allow the compilation to
succeed, without fixing the issues with zeroing or fetching.  It
should be possible to handle them by using the 64bit loads and stores
atomic WRT preemption (assuming the architectures also converted from
using critical sections to proper asm).  If architecture does not
provide the facility, using global (spin) mutex would be non-optimal
but working solution.

718c2b5b11 Revert the part of r239864 which removed obtaining the SMP mutex around
reading registers from other CPUs. As it turns out, the hardware doesn't
really like concurrent IPI'ing causing adverse effects. Also the thought
deadlock when using this spin lock here and the targeted CPU(s) are also
holding or in case of nested locks can't actually happen. This is due to
the fact that on sparc64, spinlock_enter() only raises the PIL but doesn't
disable interrupts completely. Thus direct cross calls as used for the
register reading (and all other MD IPI needs) still will be executed by

28d91af30f - Implement run-time expansion of the KTR buffer via sysctl.
- Implement a function to ensure that all preempted threads have switched
   back out at least once.  Use this to make sure there are no stale
   references to the old ktr_buf or the lock profiling buffers before
   updating them.

4cf9e21ed8 - Give PIL_PREEMPT the lowest priority just above low/stray interrupts.
The reason for this is that the SPARC v9 architecture allows nested
  interrupts of higher priority/level than that of the current interrupt
  to occur (and we can't just entirely bypass this model, also, at least
  for tick interrupts, this also wouldn't be wise). However, when a
  preemption interrupt interrupts another interrupt of lower priority,
  f.e. PIL_ITHREAD, and that one in turn is nested by a third interrupt,
  f.e. PIL_TICK, with SCHED_ULE the execution of interrupts higher than
  PIL_PREEMPT may be migrated to another CPU. In particular, tl1_ret(),
  which is responsible for restoring the state of the CPU prior to entry
  to the interrupt based on the (also migrated) trap frame, then is run
  on a CPU which actually didn't receive the interrupt in question,
  causing an inappropriate processor interrupt level to be "restored".
  In turn, this causes interrupts of the first level, i.e. PIL_ITHREAD
  in the above scenario, to be blocked on the target of the migration
  until the correct PIL happens to be restored again on that CPU again.
  Making PIL_PREEMPT the lowest real priority, this effectively prevents
  this scenario from happening, as preemption interrupts no longer can
  interrupt any other interrupt besides stray ones (which is no issue).
  Thanks to attilio@ and especially mav@ for helping me to understand
  this problem at the 201208DevSummit.
- Give PIL_STOP (which is also used for IPI_STOP_HARD, given that there's
  no real equivalent to NMIs on SPARC v9) the highest possible priority
  just below the hardwired PIL_TICK, so it has a chance to interrupt
  more things.

3a4730256a Add an unified macro to deny ability from the compiler to reorder
instruction loads/stores at its will.
The macro __compiler_membar() is currently supported for both gcc and
clang, but kernel compilation will fail otherwise.
