__FreeBSD_version 500015 can be used to detect their disappearance.
- Move the symbols for SMP_prvspace and lapic from globals.s to
locore.s.
- Remove globals.s with extreme prejudice.
symbols in globals.s.
PCPU_GET(name) returns the value of the per-cpu variable
PCPU_PTR(name) returns a pointer to the per-cpu variable
PCPU_SET(name, val) sets the value of the per-cpu variable
In general these are not yet used, compatibility macros remain.
Unifdef SMP struct globaldata, this makes variables such as cpuid
available for UP as well.
Rebuilding modules is probably a good idea, but I believe old
modules will still work, as most of the old infrastructure
remains.
more include file including <sys/proc.h>, but there still is this wonky
and (causes warnings on i386) reference in globals.h.
CURTHD is now defined in <machine/globals.h> as well. The correct thing
to do is provide a platform function for this.
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().

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).
