cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).
Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.
The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN
while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.
Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now
The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.

float_t was broken compatibly with FLT_EVAL_METHOD.
These definitions seem to be broken on powerpc and possibly on arm.
float_t is float on powerpc with gcc [-notraditional] according to
glibc, and FLT_EVAL_METHOD is marked with XXX on arm.

alignment such as sparc64 (tier1) and ia64/ppc (tier2).
This adds two new macros that check the alignment, these are compile time
dependent on __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT which is set for i386 and amd64 where
alignment isn't need so the cost is avoided.

Move bridge_ip_checkbasic()/bridge_ip6_checkbasic() up so that the alignment
is checked for ipfw and dummynet too.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.
By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.

level of abstraction for any and all CPU mask and CPU bitmap variables
so that platforms have the ability to break free from the hard limit
of 32 CPUs, simply because we don't have more bits in an u_int. Note
that the type is not supposed to solve massive parallelism, where
the number of CPUs can be larger than the width of the widest integral
type. As such, cpumask_t is not supposed to be a compound type. If
such would be necessary in the future, we can deal with the issues
then and there. For now, it can be assumed that the type is integral
and unsigned.
With this commit, all MD definitions start off as u_int. This allows
us to phase-in cpumask_t at our leasure without breaking anything.
Once cpumask_t is used consistently, platforms can switch to wider
(or smaller) types if such would be beneficial (or not; whatever :-)
Compile-tested on: i386
a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to
attempt to get a stable base to start from. There is a lot missing still.
Worth noting:
- The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code. pmap uses
a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4
levels of page tables yet.
- It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the
i386 loader. This simplifies locore.s greatly.
- There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have
not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C
versions of (bcopy etc).
- It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument
passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction
for syscalls. int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not.
- I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple
of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed
%rcx register in the syscall instruction). As a result, there is not a
lot of similarity. I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to
get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.
where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

These types are unlikely to ever become very MD. They include:
clockid_t, ct_rune_t, fflags_t, intrmask_t, mbstate_t, off_t, pid_t,
rune_t, socklen_t, timer_t, wchar_t, and wint_t.
While moving them, make a few adjustments (submitted by bde):
o __ct_rune_t needs to be precisely `int', not necessarily __int32_t,
since the arg type of the ctype functions is int.
o __rune_t, __wchar_t and __wint_t inherit this via a typedef of
__ct_rune_t.
o Some minor wording changes in the comment blocks for ct_rune_t and
mbstate_t.

called <machine/_types.h>.
o <machine/ansi.h> will continue to live so it can define MD clock
macros, which are only MD because of gratuitous differences between
architectures.
o Change all headers to make use of this. This mainly involves
changing:
#ifdef _BSD_FOO_T_
typedef _BSD_FOO_T_ foo_t;
#undef _BSD_FOO_T_
#endif
to:
#ifndef _FOO_T_DECLARED
typedef __foo_t foo_t;
#define _FOO_T_DECLARED
#endif
