a9a0f15a69 Fixed breakage of binary compatibility of the kern.clockrate sysctl in
sys/time.h rev.1.53, etc.  Zero out the entire struct clkinfo and not
just the new spare part of it so that there is no possibility of leaking
kernel stack context to userland.

9e1b5510c3 Move the winding of timecounters out of hardclock and into a normal
timeout loop.

Limit the rate at which we wind the timecounters to approx 1000 Hz.

This limits the precision of the get{bin,nano,micro}[up]time(9)
functions to roughly a millisecond.

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.

e4fc250c15 Device Polling code for -current.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.

To use this code you must compile a kernel with

        options DEVICE_POLLING

and at runtime enable polling with

        sysctl kern.polling.enable=1

The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with

        sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)

while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.

Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at

	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/

and also supports polling in the idle loop.

NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.

NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

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.

e3ee8974e3 Fix an old bug related to BETTER_CLOCK. Call forward_*clock if SMP
and __i386__ are defined rather than if SMP and BETTER_CLOCK are defined.
The removal of BETTER_CLOCK would have broken this except that kern_clock.c
doesn't include <machine/smptests.h>, so it doesn't see the definition of
BETTER_CLOCK, and forward_*clock aren't called, even on 4.x.  This seems to
fix the problem where a n-way SMP system would see 100 * n clk interrupts
and 128 * n rtc interrupts.

866546105a Changed the aston() family to operate on a specified process instead of
always on curproc.  This is needed to implement signal delivery properly
(see a future log message for kern_sig.c).

Debogotified the definition of aston().  aston() was defined in terms
of signotify() (perhaps because only the latter already operated on
a specified process), but aston() is the primitive.

Similar changes are needed in the ia64 versions of cpu.h and trap.c.
I didn't make them because the ia64 is missing the prerequisite changes
to make astpending and need_resched per-process and those changes are
too large to make without testing.

9ed346bab0 Change and clean the mutex lock interface.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

8088699f79 - Overhaul the software interrupt code to use interrupt threads for each
type of software interrupt.  Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
  now maps to a swi thread.  Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
  like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
  software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
  array are no longer needed.  We can now have an arbitrary number of
  software interrupt threads.  When you register a software interrupt
  thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
  to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
  more intuitive.  Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
  'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
  MD.

6c56727456 - Change fast interrupts on x86 to push a full interrupt frame and to
return through doreti to handle ast's.  This is necessary for the
  clock interrupts to work properly.
- Change the clock interrupts on the x86 to be fast instead of threaded.
  This is needed because both hardclock() and statclock() need to run in
  the context of the current process, not in a separate thread context.
- Kill the prevproc hack as it is no longer needed.
- We really need Giant when we call psignal(), but we don't want to block
  during the clock interrupt.  Instead, use two p_flag's in the proc struct
  to mark the current process as having a pending SIGVTALRM or a SIGPROF
  and let them be delivered during ast() when hardclock() has finished
  running.
- Remove CLKF_BASEPRI, which was #ifdef'd out on the x86 anyways.  It was
  broken on the x86 if it was turned on since cpl is gone.  It's only use
  was to bogusly run softclock() directly during hardclock() rather than
  scheduling an SWI.
- Remove the COM_LOCK simplelock and replace it with a clock_lock spin
  mutex.  Since the spin mutex already handles disabling/restoring
  interrupts appropriately, this also lets us axe all the *_intr() fu.
- Back out the hacks in the APIC_IO x86 cpu_initclocks() code to use
  temporary fast interrupts for the APIC trial.
- Add two new process flags P_ALRMPEND and P_PROFPEND to mark the pending
  signals in hardclock() that are to be delivered in ast().
