variable to avoid invalid constraints in dead code. Use an array of
u_char's (inside a struct) instead of a char/short/int/long variable so
that the variable and its accesses can be spelled in the same way in all
cases and code doesn't need to be cloned just to hold the spelling
differences.
Fixed strict-aliasing errors in PCPU_SET() and in the amd64 PCPU_GET().
Cast to (void *) as in rev.1.37 of the i386 version where the errors
were fixed for the i386 PCPU_GET() only. It would be more correct to
copy to and from the temp. variable using memcpy(), but then an
ifdef tangle would be required to ensure using the builtin memcpy().
We depend on fairly aggressive optimization to put the temp. variable
only in a register despite it being copied using
*(type *)(void *)&anothertype and could depend on this when using
memcpy() too. This seems to work right even for -O0, but the -O0 case
has not been completely tested.
This change gives identical object code for all object files in LINT
on amd64 (except for one file with a __TIME__ stamp). For LINT on
i386 it gives unimportant differences in instruction order and padding
in a few object files. This was only tested for -O.
This change (actually a previous version of it) gives the following
reductions in the number of object files in LINT that fail to compile
with -O2 but without the -fno-strict-aliasing kludge:
- amd64: 29 (down from 211)
- i386: 36 (down from 47)
gcc-3.4.6 actually allows the invalid constraints that result from not
using the temp. variable, at least with -O[1-2], but gcc-3.3.3 crashes
on them and I don't want to depend on compiler bugs.

setrunqueue() was mostly empty. The few asserts and thread state
setting were moved to the individual schedulers. sched_add() was
chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons.
- Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be
different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place
each.
- Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code.
- Remove the now redundant ts_state. Inspect the thread state directly.
- Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to
support a feature in one scheduler.
- Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched. Also,
rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread. This simplifies the
logic in choosethread(). Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c
mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched.

used by clock code, so don't export it to the world for machdep.c to
initialize. There is a minor problem initializing it before it is
used, since although clock initialization is split up so that parts
of it can be done early, the first part was never done early enough
to actually work. Split it up a bit more and do the first part as
late as possible to document the necessary order. The functions that
implement the split are still bogusly exported.
Cleaned up initialization of the i8254 clock hardware using the new
split. Actually initialize it early enough, and don't work around it
not being initialized in DELAY() when DELAY() is called early for
initialization of some console drivers.
This unfortunately moves a little more code before the early debugger
breakpoint so that it is harder to debug. The ordering of console and
related initialization is delicate because we want to do as little as
possible before the breakpoint, but must initialize a console.
- First off, device drivers really do need to know if they are allocating
MSI or MSI-X messages. MSI requires allocating powerof2() messages for
example where MSI-X does not. To address this, split out the MSI-X
support from pci_msi_count() and pci_alloc_msi() into new driver-visible
functions pci_msix_count() and pci_alloc_msix(). As a result,
pci_msi_count() now just returns a count of the max supported MSI
messages for the device, and pci_alloc_msi() only tries to allocate MSI
messages. To get a count of the max supported MSI-X messages, use
pci_msix_count(). To allocate MSI-X messages, use pci_alloc_msix().
pci_release_msi() still handles both MSI and MSI-X messages, however.
As a result of this change, drivers using the existing API will only
use MSI messages and will no longer try to use MSI-X messages.
- Because MSI-X allows for each message to have its own data and address
values (and thus does not require all of the messages to have their
MD vectors allocated as a group), some devices allow for "sparse" use
of MSI-X message slots. For example, if a device supports 8 messages
but the OS is only able to allocate 2 messages, the device may make the
best use of 2 IRQs if it enables the messages at slots 1 and 4 rather
than default of using the first N slots (or indicies) at 1 and 2. To
support this, add a new pci_remap_msix() function that a driver may call
after a successful pci_alloc_msix() (but before allocating any of the
SYS_RES_IRQ resources) to allow the allocated IRQ resources to be
assigned to different message indices. For example, from the earlier
example, after pci_alloc_msix() returned a value of 2, the driver would
call pci_remap_msix() passing in array of integers { 1, 4 } as the
new message indices to use. The rid's for the SYS_RES_IRQ resources
will always match the message indices. Thus, after the call to
pci_remap_msix() the driver would be able to access the first message
in slot 1 at SYS_RES_IRQ rid 1, and the second message at slot 4 at
SYS_RES_IRQ rid 4. Note that the message slots/indices are 1-based
rather than 0-based so that they will always correspond to the rid
values (SYS_RES_IRQ rid 0 is reserved for the legacy INTx interrupt).
To support this API, a new PCIB_REMAP_MSIX() method was added to the
pcib interface to change the message index for a single IRQ.

Dont expose em->shared to the outside world before its properly

MPLOCKED. The cleaning in rev.1.25 was supposed to have been undone
by rev.1.26, but 1.26 could never have actually affected asm files
since atomic.h is full of C declarations so including it in asm files
would just give syntax errors. The asm MPLOCKED is even less needed

These functions are used a lot for mutexes, so this reduces the text
size of an average kernel by about 0.75%. This wasn't intended to
be a significant optimization, but it somehow increased the maximum
number of packets per second that can be transmitted by my bge hardware
from 320000 to 460000 (this benchmark is CPU-bound and remarkably
sensitive to changes in the text section).
Details: we would prefer to leave the result of the cmpxchg in %al,
but cannot tell gcc that it is there, so we have to convert it to an
integer register. We converted to %al, then to %[re]ax, but the
latter step is usually wasted since gcc usually only wants the condition
code and can recover it from %al just as easily as from %[re]ax. Let
gcc promote %al in the few cases where this is needed.
Nearby style fixes;
- let gcc manage the load of `res', and don't abuse `res' for a copy of `exp'
- don't echo `res's name in comments
- consistently spell the condition code as 'e' after comparison for equality
- don't hard-code %al anywhere except in constraints
- for the version that doesn't use cmpxchg, there is no requirement to use
%al anywhere, so don't hard-code it in the constraints either.
Style non-fix:
- for the versions that use cmpxchg, keep using "a" (was %[re]ax, now %al)
for the main output operand, although this is not required. The input
and output operands that use the "a" constraint are now decoupled, and
this makes things clearer except for the reason that the output register
is hard-coded. It is now just a hack to tell gcc that the input "a" has
been clobbered without increasing the number of operands.

running thread's id on each cpu. This allow us to add in-kernel adaptive
spin for user level mutex. While spinning in user space is possible,
without correct thread running state exported from kernel, it hardly
can be implemented efficiently without wasting cpu cycles, however
exporting thread running state unlikely will be implemented soon as
it has to design and stablize interfaces. This implementation is
transparent to user space, it can be disabled dynamically. With this
change, mutex ping-pong program's performance is improved massively on
SMP machine. performance of mysql super-smack select benchmark is increased
about 7% on Intel dual dual-core2 Xeon machine, it indicates on systems
which have bunch of cpus and system-call overhead is low (athlon64, opteron,
and core-2 are known to be fast), the adaptive spin does help performance.
Added sysctls:
kern.threads.umtx_dflt_spins
if the sysctl value is non-zero, a zero umutex.m_spincount will

kern.threads.umtx_max_spins
the sysctl sets upper limit of spin cycle count.

and by only delaying when an RTC register is written to. The delay
after writing to the data register is now not just a workaround.
This reduces the number of ISA accesses in the usual case from 4 to
1. The usual case is 2 rtcin()'s for each RTC interrupt. The index
register is almost always RTC_INTR for this. The 3 extra ISA accesses
were 1 for writing the index and 2 for delays. Some delays are needed
in theory, but in practice they now just slow down slow accesses some
more since almost eveyone including us does them wrong so modern systems
enforce sufficient delays in hardware. I used to have the delays ifdefed
out, but with the index register optimization the delays are rarely
executed so the old magic ones can be kept or even implemented non-
magically without significant cost.
Optimizing RTC interrupt handling is more interesting than it used to
be because RTC interrupts are currently needed to fix the more efficient
apic timer interrupts on some systems. apic_timer_hz is normally 2000
so the RTC interrupt rate needs to be 2048 to keep the apic timer
firing on such systems. Without these changes, each RTC interrupt
normally took 10 ISA accesses (2 PIC accesses and 2 sets of 4 RTC
accesses). Each ISA access takes 1-1.5uS so 10 of then at 2048 Hz
takes 2-3% of a CPU. Now 4 of them take 0.8-1.2% of a CPU.

This change moves the buffer from struct pcpu to the stack to avoid
using the critical section which created a LOR in a couple of cases
due to interaction with the tty code and kqueue. The LOR can't be
fixed with the critical section and the pcpu buffer can't be used
without the critical section.
Putting the buffer on the stack was my initial solution, but it was
pointed out that the stress on the stack might cause problems
depending on the call path. We don't have a way of creating tests
for those possible cases, so it's best to leave this as an option
for the time being. In time we may get enough data to enable this
option more generally.
