device drivers for bus system with other endinesses than the CPU (using
interfaces compatible to NetBSD):
- bwap16() and bswap32(). These have optimized implementations on some
architectures; for those that don't, there exist generic implementations.
- macros to convert from a certain byte order to host byte order and vice
versa, using a naming scheme like le16toh(), htole16().
These are implemented using the bswap functions.
- stream bus space access functions, which do not perform a byte order
conversion (while the normal access functions would if the bus endianess
differs from the CPU endianess).
htons(), htonl(), ntohs() and ntohl() are implemented using the new
functions above for kernel usage. None of the above interfaces is currently
exported to user land.
Make use of the new functions in a few places where local implementations
of the same functionality existed.

enabled in critical sections and streamline critical_enter() and
critical_exit().
This commit allows an architecture to leave interrupts enabled inside
critical sections if it so wishes. Architectures that do not wish to do
this are not effected by this change.
This commit implements the feature for the I386 architecture and provides
a sysctl, debug.critical_mode, which defaults to 1 (use the feature). For
now you can turn the sysctl on and off at any time in order to test the
architectural changes or track down bugs.
This commit is just the first stage. Some areas of the code, specifically
the MACHINE_CRITICAL_ENTER #ifdef'd code, is strictly temporary and will
be cleaned up in the STAGE-2 commit when the critical_*() functions are
moved entirely into MD files.
The following changes have been made:
* critical_enter() and critical_exit() for I386 now simply increment
and decrement curthread->td_critnest. They no longer disable
hard interrupts. When critical_exit() decrements the counter to
0 it effectively calls a routine to deal with whatever interrupts
were deferred during the time the code was operating in a critical
section.
Other architectures are unaffected.
* fork_exit() has been conditionalized to remove MD assumptions for
the new code. Old code will still use the old MD assumptions
in regards to hard interrupt disablement. In STAGE-2 this will
be turned into a subroutine call into MD code rather then hardcoded
in MI code.
The new code places the burden of entering the critical section
in the trampoline code where it belongs.
* I386: interrupts are now enabled while we are in a critical section.
The interrupt vector code has been adjusted to deal with the fact.
If it detects that we are in a critical section it currently defers
the interrupt by adding the appropriate bit to an interrupt mask.
* In order to accomplish the deferral, icu_lock is required. This
is i386-specific. Thus icu_lock can only be obtained by mainline
i386 code while interrupts are hard disabled. This change has been
made.
* Because interrupts may or may not be hard disabled during a
context switch, cpu_switch() can no longer simply assume that
PSL_I will be in a consistent state. Therefore, it now saves and
restores eflags.
* FAST INTERRUPT PROVISION. Fast interrupts are currently deferred.
The intention is to eventually allow them to operate either while
we are in a critical section or, if we are able to restrict the
use of sched_lock, while we are not holding the sched_lock.
* ICU and APIC vector assembly for I386 cleaned up. The ICU code
has been cleaned up to match the APIC code in regards to format
and macro availability. Additionally, the code has been adjusted
to deal with deferred interrupts.
* Deferred interrupts use a per-cpu boolean int_pending, and
masks ipending, spending, and fpending. Being per-cpu variables
it is not currently necessary to lock; bus cycles modifying them.
Note that the same mechanism will enable preemption to be
incorporated as a true software interrupt without having to
further hack up the critical nesting code.
* Note: the old critical_enter() code in kern/kern_switch.c is
currently #ifdef to be compatible with both the old and new
methodology. In STAGE-2 it will be moved entirely to MD code.
Performance issues:
One of the purposes of this commit is to enhance critical section
performance, specifically to greatly reduce bus overhead to allow
the critical section code to be used to protect per-cpu caches.
These caches, such as Jeff's slab allocator work, can potentially
operate very quickly making the effective savings of the new
critical section code's performance very significant.
The second purpose of this commit is to allow architectures to
enable certain interrupts while in a critical section. Specifically,
the intention is to eventually allow certain FAST interrupts to
operate rather then defer.
The third purpose of this commit is to begin to clean up the
critical_enter()/critical_exit()/cpu_critical_enter()/
cpu_critical_exit() API which currently has serious cross pollution
in MI code (in fork_exit() and ast() for example).
The fourth purpose of this commit is to provide a framework that
allows kernel-preempting software interrupts to be implemented
cleanly. This is currently used for two forward interrupts in I386.
Other architectures will have the choice of using this infrastructure
or building the functionality directly into critical_enter()/
critical_exit().
Finally, this commit is designed to greatly improve the flexibility
of various architectures to manage critical section handling,
software interrupts, preemption, and other highly integrated
architecture-specific details.

on for a while:
- fine grained TLB shootdown for SMP on i386
- ranged TLB shootdowns.. eg: specify a range of pages to shoot down with
a single IPI, since the IPI is very expensive. Adjust some callers
that used to trigger this inside tight loops to do a ranged shootdown
at the end instead.
- PG_G support for SMP on i386 (options ENABLE_PG_G)
- defer PG_G activation till after we decide what we are going to do with
PSE and the 4MB pages at the start of the kernel. This should solve
some rumored strangeness about stale PG_G entries getting stuck
underneath the 4MB pages.
- add some instrumentation for the fine TLB shootdown
- convert some asm instruction wrappers from functions to inlines. gcc
seems to do a fair bit better with this.
- [temporarily!] pessimize the tlb shootdown IPI handlers. I will fix
this again shortly.
This has been working fairly well for me for a while, but I have tweaked
it again prior to commit since my last major testing round. The only
outstanding problem that I know of is PG_G related, which is why there
is an option for it (not on by default for SMP). I have seen a world

*not* accurately measured this - I am a bit sceptical of these numbers.

entry to the kernel from user mode, but if we get an interrupt in kernel

to the user stack, we may take too many nested traps and overflow the trap
stack, causing a red state exception. This is needed by upcoming changes
to allow the user tsb to not be locked in the tlb.

This is not quite the right place to declare it, but <stand.h> would
be worse because time() is very MD so it isn't in libstand.
Many places in the boot sources still get the user version using only
1 layer of pollution (#include <sys/time.h>. Some pollute themselves

but never accept'ed, so they must be destroyed. Originally, unp_drop()
detected this situation by checking if so->so_head is non-NULL.
However, since revision 1.54 of uipc_socket.c (Feb 1999), so->so_head
is set to NULL before calling soabort(), so any unix-domain sockets
waiting to be accept'ed are leaked if the server socket is closed.
Resolve this by moving the socket destruction code into uipc_abort()
itself, and making it unconditional (the other caller of unp_drop()
never needs the socket to be destroyed). Use unp_detach() to avoid
the original code duplication when destroying the socket.
