Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

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.

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.

142ba5f3d7 - Make astpending and need_resched process attributes rather than CPU
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
  other architectures.

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.

d034d459da Don't use p->p_sigstk.ss_flags to keep state of whether the
process is on the alternate stack or not. For compatibility
with sigstack(2) state is being updated if such is needed.

We now determine whether the process is on the alternate
stack by looking at its stack pointer. This allows a process
to siglongjmp from a signal handler on the alternate stack
to the place of the sigsetjmp on the normal stack. When
maintaining state, this would have invalidated the state
information and causing a subsequent signal to be delivered
on the normal stack instead of the alternate stack.

5855006767 Add a consistent API to a feature that most modern CPUs have; a fast
counter register in-CPU.

This is to be used as a fast "timer", where linearity is more important
than time, and multiple lines in the linearity caused by multiple CPUs
in an SMP machine is not a problem.

This adds no code whatsoever to the FreeBSD kernel until it is actually
used, and then as a single-instruction inline routine (except for the
80386 and 80486 where it is some more inline code around nanotime(9).

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().

0384fff8c5 Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).

d627ab8398 Properly attribute interrupt time on alpha. Previously, interrupt time

Note that we are counting time spent in software interrupt handlers as

62a50bfa38 Re-organise the code which manages the owner of the FP state (fpcurproc).
The old code was spread out through the machdep code and was sloppy about
enabling and disabling the FEN bit (which controls access to the FP
register set). This caused a DIAGNOSTIC warning "DANGER WILL ROBINSON:
FEN SET IN cpu_fork!" sometimes when operating under high loads and could
conceivably lead to processes getting incorrect FP results.

The new code is much more strict about the FEN bit and makes sure that
*only* fpcurproc ever has it enabled. This also allows us to remove a
section of code from the exception_return path which might improve
performance marginally.
