logical CPUs on a system to be used as a dedicated watchdog to cause a
drop to the debugger and/or generate an NMI to the boot processor if
the kernel ceases to respond. A sysctl enables the watchdog running
out of the processor's idle thread; a callout is launched to reset a
timer in the watchdog. If the callout fails to reset the timer for ten
seconds, the watchdog will fire. The sysctl allows you to select which
CPU will run the watchdog.
A sample "debug.leak_schedlock" is included, which causes a sysctl to
spin holding sched_lock in order to trigger the watchdog. On my Xeons,
the watchdog is able to detect this failure mode and break into the
debugger, which cannot otherwise be done without an NMI button.
This option does not currently work with sched_ule due to ule's push
notion of scheduling, similar to machdep.hlt_logical_cpus failing to
work with that scheduler.
On face value, this might seem somewhat inefficient, but there are a
lot of dual-processor Xeons with HTT around, so using one as a watchdog
for testing is not as inefficient as one might fear.

pic_eoi_source() into one call. This halves the number of spinlock operations
and indirect function calls in the normal case of handling a normal (ithread)
interrupt. Optimize the atpic and ioapic drivers to use inlines where
appropriate in supporting the intr_execute_handlers() change.
This knocks 900ns, or roughly 1350 cycles, off of the time spent servicing an
interrupt in the common case on my 1.5GHz P4 uniprocessor system. SMP systems
likely won't see as much of a gain due to the ioapic being more efficient than
the atpic. I'll investigate porting this to amd64 soon.

Most of the changes are a direct result of adding thread awareness.
Typically, DDB_REGS is gone. All registers are taken from the
trapframe and backtraces use the PCB based contexts. DDB_REGS was
defined to be a trapframe on all platforms anyway.
Thread awareness introduces the following new commands:
thread X switch to thread X (where X is the TID),
show threads list all threads.
The backtrace code has been made more flexible so that one can
create backtraces for any thread by giving the thread ID as an
argument to trace.
With this change, ia64 has support for breakpoints.

in which multiple (presumably different) debugger backends can be
configured and which provides basic services to those backends.
Besides providing services to backends, it also serves as the single
point of contact for any and all code that wants to make use of the
debugger functions, such as entering the debugger or handling of the
alternate break sequence. For this purpose, the frontend has been
made non-optional.
All debugger requests are forwarded or handed over to the current
backend, if applicable. Selection of the current backend is done by
the debug.kdb.current sysctl. A list of configured backends can be
obtained with the debug.kdb.available sysctl. One can enter the
debugger by writing to the debug.kdb.enter sysctl.

- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

We used to store the vm_page_t for the page table page. But we recently
had the pa of the ptp, or can calculate it fairly quickly. If we wanted
to avoid the shift/mask operation in pmap_pde(), we could recover the

for microseconds resolution, but the resolution is now smaller than 1
nanosecond on multi-GHz machines and the accuracy is heading towards
1 nanosecond too). Arches that support GUPROF must now provide certain
macros for the calibration. GUPROF is now only supported for i386's,
so the absence of the new macros for other arches doesn't break anything
that wasn't already broken. amd64's have uncommitted support for
GUPROF, and sparc64's have support that seems to be complete except
here (there was an #error for non-i386 cases; now there are undefined

Changed the asms a little:
- declare them as __volatile. They must not be moved, and exporting a
label across asms is technically incorrect, so try harder to stop gcc
moving them.
- don't put the non-clobbered register "bx" in the clobber list. The
clobber lists are still more conservative than necessary.
- drop the non-support for gcc-1. It just gave a better error message,
and this is not useful since compiling with gcc-1 would cause thousands
of worse error messages.
- drop the support for aout.

for incomplete and out of date support for GUPROF in userland, as in
the sparc64 version.
- Require the APIC enumerators to explicitly enable mixed mode by calling
ioapic_enable_mixed_mode(). Calling this function tells the apic driver
that the PC-AT 8259A PICs are present and routable through the first I/O
APIC via an ExtINT pin. The mptable enumerator always calls this
function for now. The MADT enumerator only enables mixed mode if the
PC-AT compatability flag is set in the MADT header.
- Allow mixed mode to be enabled or disabled via a 'hw.apic.mixed_mode'
tunable. By default this tunable is set to 1 (true). The kernel option
NO_MIXED_MODE changes the default to 0 to preserve existing behavior, but
adding 'hw.apic.mixed_mode=0' to loader.conf achieves the same effect.
- Only use mixed mode to route IRQ 0 if it is both enabled by the APIC
enumerator and activated by the loader tunable. Note that both
conditions must be true, so if the APIC enumerator does not enable mixed
mode, then you can't set the tunable to try to override the enumerator.

- Convert the mptable parsing code to use the new ELCR wrapper code rather

both the trigger and polarity of EISA IRQs instead of just the trigger

- Rework the MADT's handling of the ACPI SCI again:
- If no override entry for the SCI exists at all, use level/low trigger
instead of the default edge/high used for ISA IRQs.
- For the ACPI SCI, use level/low values for conforming trigger and
polarity rather than the edge/high values we use for all other ISA
IRQs.
- Rework the tunables available to override the MADT. The
hw.acpi.force_sci_lo tunable is no longer supported. Instead, there
are now two tunables that can independently override the trigger mode
and/or polarity of the SCI. The hw.acpi.sci.trigger tunable can be
set to either "edge" or "level", and the hw.acpi.sci.polarity tunable
can be set to either "high" or "low". To simulate hw.acpi.force_sci_lo,
set hw.acpi.sci.trigger to "level" and hw.acpi.sci.polarity to "low".
If you are having problems with ACPI either causing an interrupt storm
or not working at all (e.g., the power button doesn't turn invoke a
shutdown -p now), you can try tweaking these two tunables to find the
combination that works.
register controlled the trigger mode and polarity of EISA interrupts.
However, it appears that most (all?) PCI systems use the ELCR to manage
the trigger mode and polarity of ISA interrupts as well since ISA IRQs used
to route PCI interrupts need to be level triggered with active low
polarity. We check to see if the ELCR exists by sanity checking the value
we get back ensuring that IRQS 0 (8254), 1 (atkbd), 2 (the link from the
slave PIC), and 8 (RTC) are all clear indicating edge trigger and active

This mini-driver will be used by the atpic driver to manage the trigger and
polarity of ISA IRQs. Also, the mptable parsing code will use this mini
driver rather than examining the ELCR directly.
