The actual cache line size has always been 64 bytes.
The 128 number arose as an optimization for Core 2 era Intel processors. By
default (configurable in BIOS), these CPUs would prefetch adjacent cache
lines unintelligently. Newer CPUs prefetch more intelligently.
The latest Core 2 era CPU was introduced in September 2008 (Xeon 7400
series, "Dunnington"). If you are still using one of these CPUs, especially
in a multi-socket configuration, consider locating the "adjacent cache line
prefetch" option in BIOS and disabling it.

Right now, we enable the CR4.FSGSBASE bit on CPUs which support the
facility (Ivy and later), to allow usermode to read fs and gs bases
without syscalls. This bit also controls the write access to bases
from userspace, but WRFSBASE and WRGSBASE instructions currently
cannot be used, because return path from both exceptions or interrupts
overrides bases with the values from pcb.
Supporting the instructions is useful because this means that usermode
can implement green-threads completely in userspace without issuing
syscalls to change all of the machine context.
Support is implemented by saving the fs base and user gs base when
PCB_FULL_IRET flag is set. The flag is set on the context switch,
which potentially causes clobber of the bases due to activation of
another context, and when explicit modification of the user context by
a syscall or exception handler is performed. In particular, the patch
moves setting of the flag before syscalls change context.
The changes to doreti_exit and PUSH_FRAME to clear PCB_FULL_IRET on
entry from userspace can be considered a bug fixes on its own.

Add an option to dynamically rebalance interrupts across cores

The goal is to minimize preemption. By placing interrupt sources on distinct

preemption is reduced and latency is reduced. In our workflow it reduced

from the top of user memory to one page lower on machines with the
Ryzen (AMD Family 17h) CPU. This pushes ps_strings and the stack
down by one page as well. On Ryzen there is some sort of interaction
between code running at the top of user memory address space and
interrupts that can cause FreeBSD to either hang or silently reset.
This sounds similar to the problem found with DragonFly BSD that
was fixed with this commit:
https://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commitdiff/b48dd28447fc8ef62fbc963accd301557fd9ac20
but our signal trampoline location was already lower than the address
that DragonFly moved their signal trampoline to. It also does not
appear to be related to SMT as described here:
https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/hardware/processors-memory/955368-some-ryzen-linux-users-are-facing-issues-with-heavy-compilation-loads?p=955498#post955498
"Hi, Matt Dillon here. Yes, I did find what I believe to be a
hardware issue with Ryzen related to concurrent operations. In a
nutshell, for any given hyperthread pair, if one hyperthread is
in a cpu-bound loop of any kind (can be in user mode), and the
other hyperthread is returning from an interrupt via IRETQ, the
hyperthread issuing the IRETQ can stall indefinitely until the
other hyperthread with the cpu-bound loop pauses (aka HLT until
next interrupt). After this situation occurs, the system appears
to destabilize. The situation does not occur if the cpu-bound
loop is on a different core than the core doing the IRETQ. The
%rip the IRETQ returns to (e.g. userland %rip address) matters a
*LOT*. The problem occurs more often with high %rip addresses
such as near the top of the user stack, which is where DragonFly's
signal trampoline traditionally resides. So a user program taking
a signal on one thread while another thread is cpu-bound can cause
this behavior. Changing the location of the signal trampoline
makes it more difficult to reproduce the problem. I have not
been because the able to completely mitigate it. When a cpu-thread
stalls in this manner it appears to stall INSIDE the microcode
for IRETQ. It doesn't make it to the return pc, and the cpu thread
cannot take any IPIs or other hardware interrupts while in this
state."
since the system instability has been observed on FreeBSD with SMT
disabled. Interrupts to appear to play a factor since running a
signal-intensive process on the first CPU core, which handles most
of the interrupts on my machine, is far more likely to trigger the
problem than running such a process on any other core.
Also lower sv_maxuser to prevent a malicious user from using mmap()

I fixed this in 1997, but the fix was over-engineered and fragile and
was broken in 2003 if not before. i386 parameters were copied to 8
other arches verbatim, mostly after they stopped working on i386, and
mostly without the large comment saying how the values were chosen on
i386. powerpc has a non-verbatim copy which just changes the uncritical
parameter and seems to add a sign extension bug to it.
Just treat negative offsets as offsets if they are no more negative than
-db_offset_max (default -64K), and remove all the broken parameters.
-64K is not very negative, but it is enough for frame and stack pointer
offsets since kernel stacks are small.
The over-engineering was mainly to go more negative than -64K for the
negative offset format, without affecting printing for more than a
single address.
Addresses in the top 64K of a (full 32-bit or 64-bit) address space
are now printed less well, but there aren't many interesting ones.
For arches that have many interesting ones very near the top (e.g.,
68k has interrupt vectors there), there would be no good limit for
the negative offset format and -64K is a good as anything.
On the original i386, %dr[4-5] were unimplemented but not very clearly
reserved, so debuggers read them to print them. i386 was still doing
this.
On the original athlon64, %dr[4-5] are documented as reserved but are
aliased to %dr[6-7] unless CR4_DE is set, when accessing them traps.
On 2 of my systems, accessing %dr[4-5] trapped sometimes. On my Haswell
system, the apparent randomness was because the boot CPU starts with
CR4_DE set while all other CPUs start with CR4_DE clear. FreeBSD
doesn't support the data breakpoints enabled by CR4_DE and it never
changes this flag, so the flag remains different across CPUs and
the behaviour seemed inconsistent except while booting when the CPU
doesn't change.
The invalid accesses broke:
- read access for printing the registers in ddb "show watches" on CPUs
with CR4_DE set
- read accesses in fill_dbregs() on CPUs with CR4_DE set. This didn't
implement panic(3) since the user case always skipped %dr[4-5].
- write accesses in set_dbregs(). This also didn't affect userland.
When it didn't trap, the aliasing made it fragile.
Don't print the dummy (zero) values of %dr[4-5] in "show watches" for
i386 or amd64. Fix style bugs near this printing.
amd64 also has space in the dbregs struct for the reserved %dr[8-15]
and already didn't print the dummy values for these, and never accessed
any of the 10 reserved debug registers.
Remove cpufuncs for making the invalid accesses. Even amd64 had these.

Runtime services require special execution environment for the call.
Besides that, OS must inform firmware about runtime virtual memory map
which will be active during the calls, with the SetVirtualAddressMap()
runtime call, done while the 1:1 mapping is still used. There are two
complication: the SetVirtualAddressMap() effectively must be done from
loader, which needs to know kernel address map in advance. More,
despite not explicitely mentioned in the specification, both 1:1 and
the map passed to SetVirtualAddressMap() must be active during the
SetVirtualAddressMap() call. Second, there are buggy BIOSes which
require both mappings active during runtime calls as well, most likely
because they fail to identify all relocations to perform.
On amd64, we can get rid of both problems by providing 1:1 mapping for
the duration of runtime calls, by temprorary remapping user addresses.
As result, we avoid the need for loader to know about future kernel
address map, and avoid bugs in BIOSes. Typically BIOS only maps
something in low 4G. If not runtime bugs, we would take advantage of
the DMAP, as previous versions of this patch did.
Similar but more complicated trick can be used even for i386 and 32bit
runtime, if and when the EFI boot on i386 is supported. We would need
a trampoline page, since potentially whole 4G of VA would be switched
on calls, instead of only userspace portion on amd64.
Context switches are disabled for the duration of the call, FPU access
is granted, and interrupts are not disabled. The later is possible
because kernel is mapped during calls.
To test, the sysctl mib debug.efi_time is provided, setting it to 1
makes one call to EFI get_time() runtime service, on success the efitm
structure is printed to the control terminal. Load efirt.ko, or add
EFIRT option to the kernel config, to enable code.

This is not very easy to do, since ddb didn't know when traps are
for single-stepping. It more or less assumed that traps are either
breakpoints or single-step, but even for x86 this became inadequate
with the release of the i386 in ~1986, and FreeBSD passes it other
trap types for NMIs and panics.
On x86, teach ddb when a trap is for single stepping using the %dr6
register. Unknown traps are now treated almost the same as breakpoints
instead of as the same as single-steps. Previously, the classification
of breakpoints was almost correct and everything else was unknown so
had to be treated as a single-step. Now the classification of single-
steps is precise, the classification of breakpoints is almost correct
(as before) and everything else is unknown and treated like a
breakpoint.
This fixes:
- breakpoints not set by ddb, including the main one in kdb_enter(),
were treated as single-steps and not stopped on when stepping
(except for the usual, simple case of a step with residual count 1).
As special cases, kdb_enter() didn't stop for fatal traps or panics
- similarly for "hardware breakpoints".
Use a new MD macro IS_SSTEP_TRAP(type, code) to code to classify
single-steps. This is excessively complicated for bug-for-bug and
backwards compatibilty. Design errors apparently started in Mach
in ~1990 or perhaps in the FreeBSD interface in ~1993. Common trap
types like single steps should have a unique MI code (like the TRAP*
codes for user SIGTRAP) so that debuggers don't need macros like
IS_SSTEP_TRAP() to decode them. But 'type' is actually an ambiguous
MD trap number, and code was always 0 (now it is (int)%dr6 on x86).
So it was impossible to determine the trap type from the args.
Global variables had to be used.
There is already a classification macro db_pc_is_single_step(), but
this just gets in the way. It is only used to recover from bugs in
IS_BREAKPOINT_TRAP(). On some arches, IS_BREAKPOINT_TRAP() just
duplicates the ambiguity in 'type' and misclassifies single-steps as
breakpoints. It defaults to 'false', which is the opposite of what is
needed for bug-for-bug compatibility.
When this is cleaned up, MI classification bits should be passed in
'code'. This could be done now for positive-logic bits, since 'code'
was always 0, but some negative logic is needed for compatibility so
a simple MI classificition is not usable yet.
After reading %dr6, clear the single-step bit in it so that the type
of the next debugger trap can be decoded. This is a little
ddb-specific. ddb doesn't understand the need to clear this bit and
doing it before calling kdb is easiest. gdb would need to reverse
this to support hardware breakpoints, but it just doesn't support
them now since gdbstub doesn't support %dr*.
Fix a bug involving %dr6: when emulating a single-step trap for vm86,
set the bit for it in %dr6. Userland debuggers need this. ddb now
needs this for vm86 bios calls. The bit gets copied to 'code' then
cleared again.
Fix related style bugs:
- when clearing bits for hardware breakpoints in %dr6, spell the mask
as ~0xf on both amd64 and i386 to get the correct number of bits
using sign extension and not need a comment about using the wrong
mask on amd64 (amd64 traps for invalid results but clearing the
reserved top bits didn't trap since they are 0).
- rewrite my old wrong comments about using %dr6 for ddb watchpoints.
The 'cpu' and 'cpu_class' variables were always set to the same value
on amd64 and are legacy holdovers from i386. Remove them entirely on
amd64.

This is almost a no-op since zeroing in idle works does nothing good

commit.
Align the loop in sse2_pagezero(). Since it writes to main memory,
the loop doesn't have to be very carefully written to keep up.
Unrolling it was considered useless or harmful and was not done on
i386, but that was too careless.
Timing for i386: the loop was not unrolled at all, and moved only 4
bytes/iteration. So on a 2GHz CPU, it needed to run at 2 cycles/
iteration to keep up with a memory speed of just 4GB/sec. But when
it crossed a 16-byte boundary, on old CPUs it ran at 3 cycles/
iteration so it gave a maximum speed of 2.67GB/sec and couldn't even
keep up with PC3200 memory. Fix the alignment so that it keep up with
4GB/sec memory, and unroll once to get nearer to 8GB/sec. Further
unrolling might be useless or harmful since it would prevent the loop
fitting in 16-bytes. My test system with an old CPU and old DDR1 only
needed 5+ GB/sec. My test system with a new CPU and DDR3 doesn't need
any changes to keep up ~16GB/sec.
Timing for amd64: with 8-byte accesses and newer faster CPUs it is
easy to reach 16GB/sec but not so easy to go much faster. The
alignment doesn't matter much if the CPU is not very old. The loop
was already unrolled 4 times, but needs 32 bytes and uses a fancy
method that doesn't work for 2-way unrolling in 16 bytes. Just
align it to 32-bytes.

Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has

This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set

devmem is used to represent MMIO devices like the boot ROM or a VESA framebuffer
where doing a trap-and-emulate for every access is impractical. devmem is a
hybrid of system memory (sysmem) and emulated device models.
devmem is mapped in the guest address space via nested page tables similar
to sysmem. However the address range where devmem is mapped may be changed
by the guest at runtime (e.g. by reprogramming a PCI BAR). Also devmem is
usually mapped RO or RW as compared to RWX mappings for sysmem.
Each devmem segment is named (e.g. "bootrom") and this name is used to
create a device node for the devmem segment (e.g. /dev/vmm/testvm.bootrom).
The device node supports mmap(2) and this decouples the host mapping of
devmem from its mapping in the guest address space (which can change).

the Vahalia' "Unix Internals" section 15.12 "Other TLB Consistency
Algorithms". The same algorithm is already utilized by the MIPS pmap
to handle ASIDs.
The PCID for the address space is now allocated per-cpu during context
switch to the thread using pmap, when no PCID on the cpu was ever
allocated, or the current PCID is invalidated. If the PCID is reused,
bit 63 of %cr3 can be set to avoid TLB flush.
Each cpu has PCID' algorithm generation count, which is saved in the
pmap pcpu block when pcpu PCID is allocated. On invalidation, the
pmap generation count is zeroed, which signals the context switch code
that already allocated PCID is no longer valid. The implication is
the TLB shootdown for the given cpu/address space, due to the
allocation of new PCID.
The pm_save mask is no longer has to be tracked, which (significantly)
reduces the targets of the TLB shootdown IPIs. Previously, pm_save
was reset only on pmap_invalidate_all(), which made it accumulate the
cpuids of all processors on which the thread was scheduled between
full TLB shootdowns.
Besides reducing the amount of TLB shootdowns and removing atomics to
update pm_saves in the context switch code, the algorithm is much
simpler than the maintanence of pm_save and selection of the right
address space in the shootdown IPI handler.

translation. In particular, despite IO-APICs only take 8bit apic id,
IR translation structures accept 32bit APIC Id, which allows x2APIC
mode to function properly. Extend msi_cpu of struct msi_intrsrc and
io_cpu of ioapic_intsrc to full int from one byte.
KPI of IR is isolated into the x86/iommu/iommu_intrmap.h, to avoid
bringing all dmar headers into interrupt code. The non-PCI(e) devices
which generate message interrupts on FSB require special handling. The
HPET FSB interrupts are remapped, while DMAR interrupts are not.
For each msi and ioapic interrupt source, the iommu cookie is added,
which is in fact index of the IRE (interrupt remap entry) in the IR
table. Cookie is made at the source allocation time, and then used at
the map time to fill both IRE and device registers. The MSI
address/data registers and IO-APIC redirection registers are
programmed with the special values which are recognized by IR and used
to restore the IRE index, to find proper delivery mode and target.
Map all MSI interrupts in the block when msi_map() is called.
Since an interrupt source setup and dismantle code are done in the
non-sleepable context, flushing interrupt entries cache in the IR
hardware, which is done async and ideally waits for the interrupt,
requires busy-wait for queue to drain. The dmar_qi_wait_for_seq() is
modified to take a boolean argument requesting busy-wait for the
written sequence number instead of waiting for interrupt.
Some interrupts are configured before IR is initialized, e.g. ACPI
SCI. Add intr_reprogram() function to reprogram all already
configured interrupts, and call it immediately before an IR unit is
enabled. There is still a small window after the IO-APIC redirection
entry is reprogrammed with cookie but before the unit is enabled, but
to fix this properly, IR must be started much earlier.
Add workarounds for 5500 and X58 northbridges, some revisions of which
have severe flaws in handling IR. Use the same identification methods

Implement a subset of the multiboot specification in order to boot Xen
and a FreeBSD Dom0 from the FreeBSD bootloader. This multiboot
implementation is tailored to boot Xen and FreeBSD Dom0, and it will
most surely fail to boot any other multiboot compilant kernel.
In order to detect and boot the Xen microkernel, two new file formats
are added to the bootloader, multiboot and multiboot_obj. Multiboot
support must be tested before regular ELF support, since Xen is a
multiboot kernel that also uses ELF. After a multiboot kernel is
detected, all the other loaded kernels/modules are parsed by the
multiboot_obj format.
The layout of the loaded objects in memory is the following; first the
Xen kernel is loaded as a 32bit ELF into memory (Xen will switch to
long mode by itself), after that the FreeBSD kernel is loaded as a RAW
file (Xen will parse and load it using it's internal ELF loader), and
finally the metadata and the modules are loaded using the native
FreeBSD way. After everything is loaded we jump into Xen's entry point
using a small trampoline. The order of the multiboot modules passed to
Xen is the following, the first module is the RAW FreeBSD kernel, and
the second module is the metadata and the FreeBSD modules.
Since Xen will relocate the memory position of the second
multiboot module (the one that contains the metadata and native
FreeBSD modules), we need to stash the original modulep address inside
of the metadata itself in order to recalculate its position once
booted. This also means the metadata must come before the loaded
modules, so after loading the FreeBSD kernel a portion of memory is
reserved in order to place the metadata before booting.
In order to tell the loader to boot Xen and then the FreeBSD kernel the
following has to be added to the /boot/loader.conf file:
xen_cmdline="dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga"
xen_kernel="/boot/xen"
The first argument contains the command line that will be passed to the Xen
kernel, while the second argument is the path to the Xen kernel itself. This
can also be done manually from the loader command line, by for example
typing the following set of commands:
OK unload
OK load /boot/xen dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga

a limited-coverage direct mapping (e.g., MIPS). However, prior to this
change, the configuration of the free lists was static, i.e., it was
determined at compile time. Consequentally, free lists could be created
for address ranges that held no actual pages, for example, on 32-bit MIPS-
based systems with 512 MB or less of physical memory. This change makes
the creation of the free lists dynamic, i.e., it is based on the available
physical memory at boot time.
On 64-bit x86-based systems with 64 GB or more of physical memory, create
free lists for managing pages with physical addresses below 4 GB. This
change is to address reported problems with initializing devices that
require the allocation of physical pages below 4 GB on some systems with
128 GB or more of physical memory.

The new RTC emulation supports all interrupt modes: periodic, update ended
and alarm. It is also capable of maintaining the date/time and NVRAM contents
across virtual machine reset. Also, the date/time fields can now be modified
by the guest.
Since bhyve now emulates both the PIT and the RTC there is no need for
"Legacy Replacement Routing" in the HPET so get rid of it.
The RTC device state can be inspected via bhyvectl as follows:
bhyvectl --vm=vm --get-rtc-time

The VT-x code has the following types of MSRs:
- MSRs that are unconditionally saved/restored on every guest/host context
switch (e.g., MSR_GSBASE).
- MSRs that are restored to guest values on entry to vmx_run() and saved
before returning. This is an optimization for MSRs that are not used in
host kernel context (e.g., MSR_KGSBASE).
- MSRs that are emulated and every access by the guest causes a trap into

Prior to this change the interrupt would be held pending because the VMCS

The faulting instruction needs to be restarted when the exception handler
is done handling the fault. bhyve now does this correctly by setting
'vmexit[vcpu].inst_length' to zero so the %rip is not advanced.
A minor complication is that the fault injection APIs are used by instruction
emulation code that is shared by vmm.ko and bhyve. Thus the argument that
refers to 'struct vm *' in kernel or 'struct vmctx *' in userspace needs to
be loosely typed as a 'void *'.
A nested exception condition arises when a second exception is triggered while
delivering the first exception. Most nested exceptions can be handled serially
but some are converted into a double fault. If an exception is generated during
delivery of a double fault then the virtual machine shuts down as a result of
a triple fault.
vm_exit_intinfo() is used to record that a VM-exit happened while an event was
being delivered through the IDT. If an exception is triggered while handling
the VM-exit it will be treated like a nested exception.
vm_entry_intinfo() is used by processor-specific code to get the event to be
injected into the guest on the next VM-entry. This function is responsible for
deciding the disposition of nested exceptions.
