1b9d701fee Split P_NOLOAD into a per-thread flag (TDF_NOLOAD).
This improvements aims for avoiding further cache-misses in scheduler
specific functions which need to keep track of average thread running
time and further locking in places setting for this flag.

7ab24ea3b9 Introduce a way to make pure kernal threads.
kthread_add() takes the same parameters as the old kthread_create()
plus a pointer to a process structure, and adds a kernel thread
to that process.

kproc_kthread_add() takes the parameters for kthread_add,
plus a process name and a pointer to a pointer to a process instead of just
a pointer, and if the proc * is NULL, it creates the process to the
specifications required, before adding the thread to it.

All other old kthread_xxx() calls return, but act on (struct thread *)
instead of (struct proc *). One reason to change the name is so that
any old kernel modules that are lying around and expect kthread_create()
to make a process will not just accidentally link.

fix top to show  kernel threads by their thread name in -SH mode
add a tdnam formatting option to ps to show thread names.

make all idle threads actual kthreads and put them into their own idled process.
make all interrupt threads kthreads and put them in an interd process
(mainly for aesthetic and accounting reasons)
rename proc 0 to be 'kernel' and it's swapper thread is now 'swapper'

man page fixes to follow.

3745c395ec Rename the kthread_xxx (e.g. kthread_create()) calls
to kproc_xxx as they actually make whole processes.
Thos makes way for us to add REAL kthread_create() and friends
that actually make theads. it turns out that most of these
calls actually end up being moved back to the thread version
when it's added. but we need to make this cosmetic change first.

I'd LOVE to do this rename in 7.0  so that we can eventually MFC the
new kthread_xxx() calls.

f0393f063a - Remove setrunqueue and replace it with direct calls to sched_add().
setrunqueue() was mostly empty.  The few asserts and thread state
   setting were moved to the individual schedulers.  sched_add() was
   chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons.
 - Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be
   different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place
   each.
 - Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code.
 - Remove the now redundant ts_state.  Inspect the thread state directly.
 - Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to
   support a feature in one scheduler.
 - Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched.  Also,
   rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread.  This simplifies the
   logic in choosethread().  Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c
   mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched.

Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs.  Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.

Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.

The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.

The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.

c6a37e8413 Divorce critical sections from spinlocks. Critical sections as denoted by
critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions.  They no longer have any affect on
interrupts.  This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.

Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit().  This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock.  For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections.  Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI.  For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists.  Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created.  Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code.  Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.

This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

bf0acc273a - Change mi_switch() and sched_switch() to accept an optional thread to
switch to.  If a non-NULL thread pointer is passed in, then the CPU will

  a thread to choose to.

316ec49abd Some kernel threads try to do significant work, and the default KSTACK_PAGES
doesn't give them enough stack to do much before blowing away the pcb.
This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create.  Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created.  Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.

c3b98db091 Thinking about it I came to the conclusion that the KSE states were incorrectly
formulated.  The correct states should be:
IDLE:  On the idle KSE list for that KSEG
RUNQ:  Linked onto the system run queue.
THREAD: Attached to a thread and slaved to whatever state the thread is in.

This means that most places where we were adjusting kse state can go away
as it is just moving around because the thread is..
The only places we need to adjust the KSE state is in transition to and from
the idle and run queues.

7e1f6dfe9d Modify the critical section API as follows:
- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
  prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
  count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
  a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
  to nesting level 0.  This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
  that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
  cpu_critical_enter/exit.  MI code such as device drivers and spin
  mutexes use the MI wrappers.  Note that since the MI wrappers store
  the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
  arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
  assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().

0bbc882680 Overhaul the per-CPU support a bit:
- The MI portions of struct globaldata have been consolidated into a MI
  struct pcpu.  The MD per-CPU data are specified via a macro defined in
  machine/pcpu.h.  A macro was chosen over a struct mdpcpu so that the
  interface would be cleaner (PCPU_GET(my_md_field) vs.
  PCPU_GET(md.md_my_md_field)).
- All references to globaldata are changed to pcpu instead.  In a UP kernel,
  this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name
  came from.  In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each
  CPU outside of the context of debuggers.  This also included combining
  machine/globaldata.h and machine/globals.h into machine/pcpu.h.
- The pointer to the thread using the FPU on i386 was renamed from
  npxthread to fpcurthread to be identical with other architectures.
- Make the show pcpu ddb command MI with a MD callout to display MD
  fields.
- The globaldata_register() function was renamed to pcpu_init() and now
  init's MI fields of a struct pcpu in addition to registering it with
  the internal array and list.
- A pcpu_destroy() function was added to remove a struct pcpu from the
  internal array and list.

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.

d5a08a6065 Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly.
- All processes go into the same array of queues, with different
  scheduling classes using different portions of the array.  This
  allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into
  interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
  32.  We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
  may not be optimal.  The new run queue code was written with this
  in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
  constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter.  This
  is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues.  Implement
  wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
  the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
  propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
  symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
  This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
  it should yield.  We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority().  It should now have the desired
  effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
  idle loop.  It interfered with propogate_priority() because
  the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
  and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
  onto it.  The idle process should not do anything except idle.
  vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
  kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
  system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface.  Deliberately
  change its size by adjusting the spare fields.  It remained the same
  size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
  would parse the data incorrectly.  The size constraint should really
  be changed to an arbitrary version number.  Also add a debug.sizeof
  sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

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.

1931cf940a - Heavyweight interrupt threads on the alpha for device I/O interrupts.
- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
  completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
  - The ihandlers array is now gone.  Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
    that just contains SWI handlers.
  - Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.
