structure. This field keeps track of how many levels deep we are nested
into the kernel. The nesting level is bumped at the start of a trap,
interrupt, syscall, or exception and is decremented on return. This is
used to detect the case when the kernel is returning back to a kernel
context in exception_return(). If we are returning to the kernel we need
to update the globaldata pointer register saved in the stack frame in case
we have switched CPU's between taking the initial interrupt that saved the
frame and returning. If we don't do this fixup it is possible for a CPU to
use the wrong per-cpu data. On UP systems this is not a problem, so the
code is conditional on SMP.
A count was used instead of simply checking the process status register in
the frame during exception_return() since there are critical sections at
the very start and end of a trap, exception, or interrupt from userland in
which we could trash the t7 register being used in userland. The counter
is incremented after adn before these critical sections respectively so
that we will not overwrite the saved t7 register if we are interrupted
during one of these critical sections.
This is will be required to prevent lowering the ipl when a critical_enter()
is present in the interrupt path when handling a machine check.

"inside" of locked regions. That is, an acquire atomic operation will
always enforce a memory barrier after the atomic operation and a release
operation will always enforce a memory barrier before the atomic
operation.
- Explicitly use 'mb' instead of 'wmb' in release atomic operations. The
'wmb' memory barrier is not strong enough to guarantee coherence with
other processors. This is effectively a nop since alpha_wmb() actually
performs a 'mb' and not a 'wmb', but I wanted the code to be more
correct since at some point in the future alpha_wmb()'s implementation
may switch to being a real 'wmb'.
- Introduce lock classes and lock objects. Each lock class specifies a
name and set of flags (or properties) shared by all locks of a given
type. Currently there are three lock classes: spin mutexes, sleep
mutexes, and sx locks. A lock object specifies properties of an
additional lock along with a lock name and all of the extra stuff needed
to make witness work with a given lock. This abstract lock stuff is
defined in sys/lock.h. The lockmgr constants, types, and prototypes have
been moved to sys/lockmgr.h. For temporary backwards compatability,
sys/lock.h includes sys/lockmgr.h.
- Replace proc->p_spinlocks with a per-CPU list, PCPU(spinlocks), of spin
locks held. By making this per-cpu, we do not have to jump through
magic hoops to deal with sched_lock changing ownership during context
switches.
- Replace proc->p_heldmtx, formerly a list of held sleep mutexes, with
proc->p_sleeplocks, which is a list of held sleep locks including sleep
mutexes and sx locks.
- Add helper macros for logging lock events via the KTR_LOCK KTR logging
level so that the log messages are consistent.
- Add some new flags that can be passed to mtx_init():
- MTX_NOWITNESS - specifies that this lock should be ignored by witness.
This is used for the mutex that blocks a sx lock for example.
- MTX_QUIET - this is not new, but you can pass this to mtx_init() now
and no events will be logged for this lock, so that one doesn't have
to change all the individual mtx_lock/unlock() operations.
- All lock objects maintain an initialized flag. Use this flag to export
a mtx_initialized() macro that can be safely called from drivers. Also,
we on longer walk the all_mtx list if MUTEX_DEBUG is defined as witness
performs the corresponding checks using the initialized flag.
- The lock order reversal messages have been improved to output slightly
more accurate file and line numbers.
and change the u_int mtx_saveintr member of struct mtx to a critical_t
mtx_savecrit.
- On the alpha we no longer need a custom _get_spin_lock() macro to avoid
an extra PAL call, so remove it.
- Partially fix using mutexes with WITNESS in modules. Change all the
_mtx_{un,}lock_{spin,}_flags() macros to accept explicit file and line
parameters and rename them to use a prefix of two underscores. Inside
of kern_mutex.c, generate wrapper functions for
_mtx_{un,}lock_{spin,}_flags() (only using a prefix of one underscore)
that are called from modules. The macros mtx_{un,}lock_{spin,}_flags()
are mapped to the __mtx_* macros inside of the kernel to inline the
usual case of mutex operations and map to the internal _mtx_* functions
in the module case so that modules will use WITNESS and KTR logging if
the kernel is compiled with support for it.

- Add implementations of the critical_enter() and critical_exit() functions
and remove restore_intr() and save_intr().
- Remove the somewhat bogus disable_intr() and enable_intr() functions on
the alpha as the alpha actually uses a priority level and not simple bit
flag on the CPU.
Make the name cache hash as well as the nfsnode hash use it.
As a special tweak, create an unsigned version of register_t. This allows
us to use a special tweak for the 64 bit versions that significantly
speeds up the i386 version (ie: int64 XOR int64 is slower than int64
XOR int32).
The code layout is a little strange for the string function, but I was
able to get between 5 to 10% improvement over the original version I
started with. The layout affects gcc code generation choices and this way
was fastest on x86 and alpha.
Note that 'CPUTYPE=p3' etc makes a fair difference to this. It is
around 45% faster with -march=pentiumpro on a p6 cpu.
if we hold a spin mutex, since we can trivially get into deadlocks if we
start switching out of processes that hold spinlocks. Checking to see if
interrupts were disabled was a sort of cheap way of doing this since most
of the time interrupts were only disabled when holding a spin lock. At
least on the i386. To fix this properly, use a per-process counter
p_spinlocks that counts the number of spin locks currently held, and
instead of checking to see if interrupts are disabled in the witness code,
check to see if we hold any spin locks. Since child processes always
start up with the sched lock magically held in fork_exit(), we initialize
p_spinlocks to 1 for child processes. Note that proc0 doesn't go through
fork_exit(), so it starts with no spin locks held.

- While I'm at it, move a few things into mi_switch() and out of
cpu_switch(), specifically set the p_oncpu and p_lastcpu members of
proc in mi_switch(), and handle the sched_lock state change across a
context switch in mi_switch().

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.
Some things needed bits of <i386/include/lock.h> - cy.c now has its

attributes. This is needed for AST's to be properly posted in a preemptive
kernel. They are backed by two new flags in p_sflag: PS_ASTPENDING and
PS_NEEDRESCHED. They are still accesssed by their old macros:
aston(), astoff(), etc. For completeness, an astpending() macro has been
added to check for a pending AST, and clear_resched() has been added to
clear need_resched().
- Rename syscall2() on the x86 back to syscall() to be consistent with

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

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the

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

* Optimise the return path for syscalls so that they only restore a minimal
set of registers instead of performing a full exception_return.
A new flag in the trapframe indicates that the frame only holds partial
state. When it is necessary to perform a full state restore (e.g. after an
execve or signal), the flag is cleared to force a full restore.
