Instead of caching the ucred reference, just go ahead and eat the
decerement and increment of the refcount. Now that Giant is pushed down
into crfree(), we no longer have to get Giant in the common case. In the
case when we are actually free'ing the ucred, we would normally free it on
the next kernel entry, so the cost there is not new, just in a different
place. This also removse td_cache_ucred from struct thread. This is
still only done #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC.

While in userland, keep the thread's ucred reference in a shadow

If DIAGNOSTIC is not set, the thread ucred is kept valid until the next

and possibly corrected. Produces a BIG speedup in

mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:
The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe. Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer. This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs. Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called. (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)
I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha. I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha
code, so I expect it will work fine. PowerPC and ARM do not yet have
interrupt code in the tree so they shouldn't be broken. Sparc64 is
broken, but that's been ok'd by jake and tmm who will be fixing the
interrupt code for sparc64 shortly.

that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use

to support Alpha SMP.
- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new

the the original trapframe of the syscall, trap, or interrupt that entered
the kernel. Before SMPng, ast's were handled via a psuedo trap at the
end of doerti. With the SMPng commit, ast's were broken out into a
separate ast() function that was called from doreti to match the behavior
of other architectures. Unfortunately, when this was done, the
p_md.md_regs member of curproc was not updateda in ast(), thus when
signals are handled by userret() after an interrupt that returns to
userland, we end up using a stale trapframe that will result in the
registers from the old trapframe overwriting the real trapframe and
smashing all the registers right before we return to usermode. The saved
%cs:%eip from where we were in usermode are saved in the trapframe for
example.
- Don't use an atomic operation to update cnt.v_soft in ast(). This is
the only place the variable is written to, and sched_lock is always
held when it is written, so it is already protected and the mutex release

updated in a timely fashion.

Debogotified the definition of aston(). aston() was defined in terms
of signotify() (perhaps because only the latter already operated on
a specified process), but aston() is the primitive.
Similar changes are needed in the ia64 versions of cpu.h and trap.c.
I didn't make them because the ia64 is missing the prerequisite changes
to make astpending and need_resched per-process and those changes are
too large to make without testing.
- All processes go into the same array of queues, with different
scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This
allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into
interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this
in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This
is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement
wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired
effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because
the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle.
vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately
change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same
size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really

attributes. This is needed for AST's to be properly posted in a preemptive

PS_NEEDRESCHED. They are still accesssed by their old macros:

clear need_resched().
- Rename syscall2() on the x86 back to syscall() to be consistent with

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

a trap inside DDB will not cause a panic, allowing full use
