0f2be07217 - Don't set CR0_NE and CR0_MP in npx_probe() as they are already set
earlier in cpu_setregs().
- If we know this CPU has a FPU via cpuid, then just assume the INT16
  interface and make the npx device quiet to not clutter the dmesg.  This
  is true for all Pentium and later CPUs and even some of the later 486dx

ac7326e338 Don't panic if IRQ 13 doesn't exist. On some machines (see previous
commit to atpic.c) there may not be an IRQ 13.  Instead, just keep going.
If the INT16 interface doesn't work then we will eventually panic anyway.

FWIW: We could probably just axe the support for IRQ 13 altogether at this
point.  The only thing we'd lose support for are 486sx systems with
external 487 FPUs.

60baed3742 Remove the CPU_ENABLE_SSE option from the i386 and pc98 architectures,
as they are already default for I686_CPU for almost 3 years, and
CPU_DISABLE_SSE always disables it.  On the other hand, CPU_ENABLE_SSE
does not work for I486_CPU and I586_CPU.

This commit has:
	- Removed the option from conf/options.*
	- Removed the option and comments from MD NOTES files
	- Simplified the CPU_ENABLE_SSE ifdef's so they don't
	  deal with CPU_ENABLE_SSE from kernel configuration. (*)

For most users, this commit should be largely no-op.  If you used to
place CPU_ENABLE_SSE into your kernel configuration for some reason,
it is time to remove it.

(*) The ifdef's of CPU_ENABLE_SSE are not removed at this point, since
    we need to change it to !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE) && defined(I686_CPU),
    not just !defined(CPU_DISABLE_SSE), if we really want to do so.

a5f50ef9e4 netchild's mega-patch to isolate compiler dependencies into a central
place.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.

By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild.  Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.

6ed979574f Clear any pending exceptions before using frstor (in the non-FXSR case)
in npxsetregs() too.  npxsetregs() must overwrite the previous state, and
it is never paired with an npxgetregs() that would defuse the previous
state (since npxgetregs() would have fninit'ed the state, leaving nothing
to do).

bd1a3f1a7e Fixed a panic caused by over-optimizing npxdrop() in the non-FXSR case.
frstor can trap despite it being a control instruction, since it bogusly
checks for pending exceptions in the state that it is overwriting.
This used to be a non-problem because frstor was always paired with a
previous fnsave, and fnsave does an implicit fninit so any pending
exceptions only remain live in the saved state.  Now frstor is sometimes
paired with npxdrop() and we must do a little more than just forget
that the npx was used in npxdrop() to avoid a trap later.  This is a
non-problem in the FXSR case because fxrstor doesn't do the bogus check.

FXSR is part of SSE, and npxdrop() is only in FreeBSD-5.x, so this bug
only affected old machines running FreeBSD-5.x.

bed16055e7 Fixed misclassification of npx interrupts caused by npx_probe().
Dividing by 0 in order to check for irq13/exception16 delivery apparently
always causes an irq13 even if we have configured for exception16 (by
setting CR0_NE).  This was expected, but the timing of the irq13 was
unexpected.  Without CR0_NE, the irq13 is delivered synchronously at
least on my test machine, but with CR0_NE it is delivered a little
later (about 250 nsec) in PIC mode and much later (5000-10000 nsec)
in APIC mode.  So especially in APIC mode, the irq13 may arrive after
it is supposed to be shut down.  It should then be masked, but the
shutdown is incomplete, so the irq goes to a null handler that just
reports it as stray.  The fix is to wait a bit after dividing by 0 to
give a good chance of the irq13 being handled by its proper handler.

Removed the hack that was supposed to recover from the incomplete shutdown
of irq13.  The shutdown is now even more incomplete, or perhaps just
incomplete in a different way, but the hack now has no effect because
irq13 is edge triggered and handling of edge triggered interrupts is
now optimized by skipping their masking.  The hack only worked due
to it accidentally not losing races.

The incomplete shutdown of irq13 still allows unprivileged users to
generate a stray irq13 (except on systems where irq13 is actually used)
by unmasking an npx exception and causing one.  The exception gets
handled properly by the exception 16 handler.  A spurious irq13 is
delivered asynchronously but is harmless (as in the probe) because it
is almost perfectly not handled by the null interrupt handler.
Perfectly not handling it involves mainly not resetting the npx busy
latch.  This prevents further irq13's despite them not being masked in
the [A]PIC.

6f92bdd0c1 New APIC support code:
- The apic interrupt entry points have been rewritten so that each entry
  point can serve 32 different vectors.  When the entry is executed, it
  uses one of the 32-bit ISR registers to determine which vector in its
  assigned range was triggered.  Thus, the apic code can support 159
  different interrupt vectors with only 5 entry points.
- We now always to disable the local APIC to work around an errata in
  certain PPros and then re-enable it again if we decide to use the APICs
  to route interrupts.
- We no longer map IO APICs or local APICs using special page table
  entries.  Instead, we just use pmap_mapdev().  We also no longer
  export the virtual address of the local APIC as a global symbol to
  the rest of the system, but only in local_apic.c.  To aid this, the
  APIC ID of each CPU is exported as a per-CPU variable.
- Interrupt sources are provided for each intpin on each IO APIC.
  Currently, each source is given a unique interrupt vector meaning that
  PCI interrupts are not shared on most machines with an I/O APIC.
  That mapping for interrupt sources to interrupt vectors is up to the
  APIC enumerator driver however.
- We no longer probe to see if we need to use mixed mode to route IRQ 0,
  instead we always use mixed mode to route IRQ 0 for now.  This can be
  disabled via the 'NO_MIXED_MODE' kernel option.
- The npx(4) driver now always probes to see if a built-in FPU is present
  since this test can now be performed with the new APIC code.  However,
  an SMP kernel will panic if there is more than one CPU and a built-in
  FPU is not found.
- PCI interrupts are now properly routed when using APICs to route
  interrupts, so remove the hack to psuedo-route interrupts when the
  intpin register was read.
- The apic.h header was moved to apicreg.h and a new apicvar.h header
  that declares the APIs used by the new APIC code was added.

ea1499bf8f Fixed some style bugs in the removal of __P(()). The main ones were
not removing tabs before "__P((", and not outdenting continuation lines
to preserve non-KNF lining up of code with parentheses.  Switch to KNF
formatting and/or rewrap the whole prototype in some cases.

f96ad4c223 STAGE-1 of 3 commit - allow (but do not require) interrupts to remain
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.

586079cc26 Don't include <isa/isavar.h> or compile code depending on it when isa
is not configured.  Including <isa/isavar.h> when it is not used is
harmful as well as bogus, since it includes "isa_if.h" which is not
generated when isa is not configured.

This was fixed in 1999 but was broken by unconditionalizing PNPBIOS.

98f9879242 Introduce a standard name for the lock protecting an interrupt controller
and it's associated state variables: icu_lock with the name "icu".  This
renames the imen_mtx for x86 SMP, but also uses the lock to protect
access to the 8259 PIC on x86 UP.  This also adds an appropriate lock to
the various Alpha chipsets which fixes problems with Alpha SMP machines
dropping interrupts with an SMP kernel.
