Instead of being part of the standard kernel, there is now a 'nvram' device

reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical
parsing easier. Introduce a new "netinet" object type for
certain IPv4/IPv6-related methods. Also simplify, slightly,

support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains
and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the
devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

The impact of this is that the intrcount/intrnames arrays do not have

problems due to the arrays being present in the middle of kernel code.
An overflow would be rather interesting as executable code would be used
as per-cpu incrementing interrupt counters.

Improvements:
* /etc/rc.suspend,rc.resume are always run, no matter the source of the
suspend request (user or kernel, apm or acpi)
* suspend now requires positive user acknowledgement. If a user program
wants to cancel the suspend, they can. If one of the user programs
hangs or doesn't respond within 10 seconds, the system suspends anyway.
* /dev/apm is clonable, allowing multiple listeners for suspend events.
In the future, xorg-server can use this to be informed about suspend
even if there are other listeners (i.e. apmd).
Changes:
* Two new ACPI ioctls: REQSLPSTATE and ACKSLPSTATE. Request begins the
process of suspending by notifying all listeners. acpi is monitored by
devd(8) and /dev/apm listener(s) are also counted. Users register their
approval or disapproval via Ack. If anyone disapproves, suspend is vetoed.
* Old user programs or kernel modules that used SETSLPSTATE continue to
work. A message is printed once that this interface is deprecated.
* acpiconf gains the -k flag to ack the suspend request. This flag is
undocumented on purpose since it's only used by /etc/rc.suspend. It is
not intended to be a permanent change and will be removed once a better
power API is implemented.
* S5 (power off) is no longer supported via acpiconf -s 5 or apm -z/-Z.

- Split the intr_table_lock into an sx lock used for most things, and a
spin lock to protect intrcnt_index. Originally I had this as a spin lock
so interrupt code could use it to lookup sources. However, we don't
actually do that because it would add a lot of overhead to interrupts,
and if we ever do support removing interrupt sources, we can use other
means to safely do so w/o locking in the interrupt handling code.
- Replace is_enabled (boolean) with is_handlers (a count of handlers) to
determine if a source is enabled or not. This allows us to notice when
a source is no longer in use. When that happens, we now invoke a new
PIC method (pic_disable_intr()) to inform the PIC driver that the
source is no longer in use. The I/O APIC driver frees the APIC IDT
vector when this happens. The MSI driver no longer needs to have a
hack to clear is_enabled during msi_alloc() and msix_alloc() as a result

back to the nexus methods which then added the IRQs. This approach is
a bit cleaner.

- Simplify the amount of work that has be done for each architecture by
pushing more of the truly MI code down into the PCI bus driver.
- Don't bind MSI-X indicies to IRQs so that we can allow a driver to map
multiple MSI-X messages into a single IRQ when handling a message
shortage.
The changes include:
- Add a new pcib_if method: PCIB_MAP_MSI() which is called by the PCI bus
to calculate the address and data values for a given MSI/MSI-X IRQ.
The x86 nexus drivers map this into a call to a new 'msi_map()' function
in msi.c that does the mapping.
- Retire the pcib_if method PCIB_REMAP_MSIX() and remove the 'index'
parameter from PCIB_ALLOC_MSIX(). MD code no longer has any knowledge
of the MSI-X index for a given MSI-X IRQ.
- The PCI bus driver now stores more MSI-X state in a child's ivars.
Specifically, it now stores an array of IRQs (called "message vectors" in
the code) that have associated address and data values, and a small
virtual version of the MSI-X table that specifies the message vector
that a given MSI-X table entry uses. Sparse mappings are permitted in
the virtual table.
- The PCI bus driver now configures the MSI and MSI-X address/data
registers directly via custom bus_setup_intr() and bus_teardown_intr()
methods. pci_setup_intr() invokes PCIB_MAP_MSI() to determine the
address and data values for a given message as needed. The MD code
no longer has to call back down into the PCI bus code to set these
values from the nexus' bus_setup_intr() handler.
- The PCI bus code provides a callout (pci_remap_msi_irq()) that the MD
code can call to force the PCI bus to re-invoke PCIB_MAP_MSI() to get
new values of the address and data fields for a given IRQ. The x86
MSI code uses this when an MSI IRQ is moved to a different CPU, requiring
a new value of the 'address' field.
- The x86 MSI psuedo-driver loses a lot of code, and in fact the separate
MSI/MSI-X pseudo-PICs are collapsed down into a single MSI PIC driver
since the only remaining diff between the two is a substring in a
bootverbose printf.
- The PCI bus driver will now restore MSI-X state (including programming
entries in the MSI-X table) on device resume.
- The interface for pci_remap_msix() has changed. Instead of accepting
indices for the allocated vectors, it accepts a mini-virtual table
(with a new length parameter). This table is an array of u_ints, where
each value specifies which allocated message vector to use for the
corresponding MSI-X message. A vector of 0 forces a message to not
have an associated IRQ. The device may choose to only use some of the
IRQs assigned, in which case the unused IRQs must be at the "end" and
will be released back to the system. This allows a driver to use the
same remap table for different shortage values. For example, if a driver
wants 4 messages, it can use the same remap table (which only uses the
first two messages) for the cases when it only gets 2 or 3 messages and
in the latter case the PCI bus will release the 3rd IRQ back to the
system.

fault. The previous method zero'd out the page tables, invalidated the
TLB, and then entered a spin loop. The idea was that the instruction after
the TLB invalidate would result in a page fault and the page fault and
subsequent double fault wouldn't be able to determine the physical page
for their fault handlers' first instruction. This stopped working when
PGE (PG_G PTE/PDE bit) support was added as a TLB invalidate via %cr3
reload doesn't clear TLB entries with PG_G set. Thus, the CPU was still
able to map the virtual address for the spin loop and happily performed
its infinite loop.
The triple fault now uses a much more deterministic sledge-hammer approach
to generate a triple fault. First, the IDT descriptor is set to point to
an empty IDT, so any interrupts (including a double fault) will instantly
fault. Second, we trigger a int 3 breakpoint to force an interrupt and
kick off a triple fault.

obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks. The algorithms for
manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks. This patch
also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes.
A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be
specified to alter a given locks behavior. The flags include SX_DUPOK,
SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature
to the similar flags for mutexes.
Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option. Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.
The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels. As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.
The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.
The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
disturbed.

cpufreq_pre_change is called before the change, giving each driver a chance
to revoke the change. cpufreq_post_change provides the results of the
change (success or failure). cpufreq_levels_changed gives the unit number
of the cpufreq device whose number of available levels has changed. Hook
in all the drivers I could find that needed it.
* TSC: update TSC frequency value. When the available levels change, take the
highest possible level and notify the timecounter set_cputicker() of that
freq. This gets rid of the "calcru: runtime went backwards" messages.
* identcpu: updates the sysctl hw.clockrate value
* Profiling: if profiling is active when the clock changes, let the user
know the results may be inaccurate.

One note is that when using isa_alloc_resourcev() on PC-98, drivers now
need to just use bus_release_resource() without explicitly calling
bus_deactivate_resource() first. nyan@ has already fixed all of the PC-98

GETATTRs being generated - one from lookup()/namei() and the other
from nfs_open() (for cto consistency). This change eliminates the
GETATTR in nfs_open() if an otw GETATTR was done from the namei()
path. Instead of extending the vop interface, we timestamp each attr
load, and use this to detect whether a GETATTR was done from namei()
for this syscall. Introduces a thread-local variable that counts the
syscalls made by the thread and uses <pid, tid, thread syscalls> as
the attrload timestamp. Thanks to jhb@ and peter@ for a discussion on
thread state that could be used as the timestamp with minimal overhead.
For example, during a buildworld more than half of the calls do not
generate an IPI because the only TLB entry invalidated is on the calling
processor. This revision pushes down the acquisition and release of
smp_ipi_mtx into smp_tlb_shootdown() and smp_targeted_tlb_shootdown() and
instead uses sched_pin() and sched_unpin() in pmap_invalidate_*() so that
thread migration doesn't lead to a missed TLB invalidation.
