has proven to have a good effect when entering KDB by using a NMI,
but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts
disabled while holding a spinlock in other occasions. This can be the
cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases
* Disable interrupts on CPU0 when starting the process of APs suspension.
* Style cleanup and comments adding
This patch should fix the reboot/shutdown deadlocks many users are
constantly reporting on mailing lists.

- Hide all MP-related bits in <machine/smp.h> underneath #ifdef SMP.
- Inline ipi_all_but_self(9) and ipi_selected(9). We don't expose any
additional bits but save a few cycles by doing so.
- Remove ipi_all(9), which actually only called panic(9). It can't be
implemented natively anyway and having it removed at least causes
MI users to fail already fail when linking.
frequencies (and having different cache sizes) so use the STICK
(System TICK) timer, which was introduced due to this and is
driven by the same frequency across all CPUs, instead of the
TICK timer, whose frequency varies with the CPU clock, to drive
hardclock. We try to use the STICK counter with all CPUs that are
USIII or beyond, even when not necessary due to identical CPUs,
as we can can also avoid the workaround for the BlackBird erratum
#1 there. Unfortunately, using the STICK counter currently causes
a hang with USIIIi MP machines for reasons unknown, so we still
use the TICK timer there (which is okay as they can only consist
of identical CPUs).
- Given that we only (try to) synchronize the (S)TICK timers of APs
with the BSP during startup, we could end up spinning forever in
DELAY(9) if that function is migrated to another CPU while we're
spinning due to clock drift afterwards, so pin to the CPU in order
to avoid migration. Unfortunately, pinning doesn't work at the
point DELAY(9) is required by the low-level console drivers, yet,
so switch to a function pointer, which is updated accordingly, for
implementing DELAY(9). For USIII and beyond, this would also allow
to easily use the STICK counter instead of the TICK one here,
there's no benefit in doing so however.
While at it, use cpu_spinwait(9) for spinning in the delay-
functions. This currently is a NOP though.
- Don't set the TICK timer of the BSP to 0 during at startup as
there's no need to do so.
- Implement cpu_est_clockrate().
- Unfortunately, USIIIi-based machines don't provide a timecounter
device besides the STICK and TICK counters (well, in theory the
Tomatillo bridges have a performance counter that can be (ab)used
as timecounter by configuring it to count bus cycles, though unlike
the performance counter of Schizo bridges, the Tomatillo one is
broken and counts Sun knows what in this mode). This means that
we've to use a (S)TICK counter for timecounting, which has the old
problem of not being in sync across CPUs, so provide an additional
timecounter function which binds itself to the BSP but has an
adequate low priority.
These CPUs use an enhanced layout of the interrupt vector dispatch
and dispatch status registers in order to allow sending IPIs to
multiple targets simultaneously. Thus support for these CPUs was
put in a newly added cheetah_ipi_selected(). This is intended to
be pointed to by cpu_ipi_selected, which now is a function pointer,
in order to avoid cpu_impl checks once booted. Alternatively it
can point to spitfire_ipi_selected(), which was renamed from
cpu_ipi_selected(). Consequently cpu_ipi_send() was also renamed
to spitfire_ipi_send() (there's no need for a cheetah equivalent
of this so far). Initialization of the cpu_ipi_selected pointer
and other requirements is done in mp_init(), which was renamed
from mp_tramp_alloc(), as cpu_mp_start() isn't called on UP
systems while cpu_ipi_selected() is. As a side-effect this allows
to make mp_tramp static to sys/sparc64/sparc64/mp_machdep.c.
For the sake of avoiding #ifdef SMP and for keeping the history in
place cheetah_ipi_selected() and spitfire_ipi_{selected,send}()
where not put into/moved to sys/sparc64/sparc64/{cheetah,spitfire}.c
- Add some CTASSERTs and KASSERTs ensuring that MAXCPU doesn't
exceed the data types we use to store the CPU bit fields or the
number of USIII and greater CPUs supported by the current
cheetah_ipi_selected() implementation (which for JBus-CPUs is
only 4; that should be fine though as according to OpenSolaris
there are no sun4u machines with more than 4 JBus-CPUs).
- In cpu_mp_start() don't enumerate and start more than MAXCPU CPUs
as we can't handle more than that.
- In cpu_mp_start() check for upa-portid vs. portid depending on
cpu_impl for consistency with nexus(4).
- In spitfire_ipi_selected() add KASSERTs ensuring that a CPU isn't
told to IPI itself as sun4u CPUs just can't do that.
- In spitfire_ipi_send() do a MEMBAR #Sync after writing the
interrupt vector data as we want to make sure the payload was
actually written before we trigger the dispatch.
- In spitfire_ipi_send() also verify IDR_BUSY when checking whether
the dispatch was successful as it has to be cleared for this to
be the case.
- Remove some redundant variables.

- Replace a magic 14 with the newly added IDC_ITID_SHIFT macro.
- Remove the global mp_boot_mid variable as it's not really necessary

performance once booted.
- Replace PCPU_GET(cpuid) with the curcpu shortcut.
- Replace hardcoded function names in panic strings etc with __func__
so they don't need to be updated when renaming the function.
- Use register_t instead of u_long for variables used to hold the
return value of intr_disable() so we don't need to apply any
knowledge about the actual width of that value here.

in the meantime there are machines where raising IPI_RETRIES does
help - it's not just a case of the machine staying locked up longer

a patch that helped figure out what to raise this number to.

- Move UltraSPARC I and II (spitfire, blackbird, sapphire, sabre) specific
functions to spitfire.c, and add cheetah.c for UltraSPARC III specific
functions. Initially just cache flushing, but there are a few other
functions that will need to move here.
- Add an ipi handler for data cache flushing on UltraSPARC III.
- Use function pointers to select the right cache flushing functions based
on cpu_impl.
With this it is possible to boot single user from an mfs root on UltraSPARC

no support for the host to pci bridge, and no documentation for it is

the interrupt packet data words will not necessarily be delivered

This bug also caused the cache-flushing work to be done twice on the

gcc doesn't optimize out an important load. Oops again.

we rarely send ipis for demaps from user pmaps.
Remove now unused routines to load the tlb; this is only done once outside

to a new architecture. This is the base of the sparc64 port, but contains
limited machine dependent code, and can be used a base for ports. Included
are:
- standard machine dependent headers, tweaked for a 64 bit, big endian
architecture, including empty versions of all the machine dependent
structures
- a machine independent atomic.h, which can be used until a port has
support for interrupts and the operations really need to be atomic
- stub versions of all the machine dependent functions, which panic
when called and print out the name of the function that needs to
be implemented. functions which are normally in assembly files are
not included, but this should reduce the number of different undefined
references on the first few compiles from hundreds to 5 or 6
Given minimal startup code and console support it should be trivial to
make this compile and run the first few sysinits on almost any architecture.
