path into the kernel. Normally it's due to a syscall, but one can
also be created as the result of a clock interrupt (for example).
This now even more looks like exec_setregs().
While here, add an assert that we don't expect more than 8KB of
dirty registers on the kernel stack.
unconditionally restore ar.k7 (kernel memory stack) and ar.k6
(kernel register stack). I don't know what I was smoking then,
but if you unconditionally restore ar.k6, you also want to
compute its value unconditionally. By having the computation
predicated and dependent on whether we return to user mode, we
would end up writing junk (= invalid value for ar.bspstore) if
we would return to kernel mode. But the whole point of the
unconditional restoration was that there is a grey area where
we still need to have ar.k6 restored. If we restore with a junk
value, we would end up wedging the machine on the next interrupt.
So, unconditionally calculate the value we unconditionally write
to ar.k6.
o The previous braino was found while making the following change:
We used to clear the lower 9 bits of the value we write to ar.k6.
The meaning being that we know that the kernel register stack is
at least 512 byte aligned and simply clearing the lower 9 bits
allows us to return to a context of which we don't have dirty
registers on the kernel stack, even though the context that
entered the kernel does have dirty registers on the kernel stack.
By masking-off the lower bits, we correctly obtain the base of
the register stack without having to worry that we didn't actually
reached the base while unwinding it.
The change is to mask off the lower 13 bits, knowing that the
kernel register stack is always 8KB aligned. The advantage is that
we don't have to worry anymore if there's more than 512 bytes of
dirty registers on the kernel stack. A situation that frequently
occurs. In exec_setregs() in machdep.c:1.147 or older, we had to
deal with that situation by copying the active portion of the
register stack down in multiples of 512 bytes. Now that we mask off
the lower 13 bits we don't have to do that at all. Contemporary
IPF processors have a register file that can hold up to 96 stacked
registers (=784 bytes [incl. 2 NaT collections]). With no indication
that register files grow beyond a couple of hundred registers, we
should not have to worry about it anymore... and yes, 640KB is
enough for everybody :-)
This change helps setcontext(2) and cpu_set_upcall_kse() in that
they can return to completely different contexts without having to
mess with the kernel stack. Of course exec_setregs() doesn't need
to do that anymore as well.
need this for swapcontext(), KSE upcalls initiated from ast()
also need to save them so that we properly return the syscall
results after having had a context switch. Note that we don't
use r11 in the kernel. However, the runtime specification has
defined r8-r11 as return registers, so we put r11 in the context
as well. I think deischen@ was trying to tell me that we should
save the return registers before. I just wasn't ready for it :-)
o The EPC syscall code has 2 return registers and 2 frame markers
to save. The first (rp/pfs) belongs to the syscall stub itself.
The second (iip/cfm) belongs to the caller of the syscall stub.
We want to put the second in the context (note that iip and cfm
relate to interrupts. They are only being misused by the syscall
code, but are not part of a regular context).
This way, when the context is switched to again, we return to
the caller of setcontext(2) as one would expect.
o Deal with dirty registers on the kernel stack. The getcontext()
syscall will flush the RSE, so we don't expect any dirty registers
in that case. However, in thread_userret() we also need to save
the context in certain cases. When that happens, we are sure that
there are dirty registers on the kernel stack.
This implementation simply copies the registers, one at a time,
from the kernel stack to the user stack. NAT collections are not
dealt with. Hence we don't preserve NaT bits. A better solution
needs to be found at some later time.
We also don't deal with this in all cases in set_mcontext. No
temporay solution is implemented because it's not a showstopper.
The problem is that we need to ignore the dirty registers and we
automaticly do that for at most 62 registers. When there are more
than 62 dirty registers we have a memory "leak".

for sparc64.
o Keep a per-CPU ITC counter (pc_clock) and adjustment (pc_clockadj)
to calculate ITC skew and corrections. On average, we adjust the
ITC match register once every ~1500 interrupts for a duration of
2 consequtive interruprs. This is to correct the non-deterministic
behaviour of the ITC interrupt (there's a delay between the match
and the raising of the interrupt).
o Add 4 debugging sysctls to monitor clock behaviour. Those are
debug.clock_adjust_edges, debug.clock_adjust_excess,
debug.clock_adjust_lost and debug.clock_adjust_ticks. The first
counts the individual adjustment cycles (when the skew first
crosses the threshold), the second counts the number of times the
adjustment was excessive (any non-zero value is to be considered
a bug), the third counts lost clock interrupts and the last counts
the number of interrupts for which we applied an adjustment
(debug.clock_adjust_ticks / debug.clock_adjust_edges gives the
avarage duration of an individual adjustment -- should be ~2).

This bug was introduced by the context changes and EPC syscall code.
Handling of ASTs was moved to C for clarity and ease of maintenance,
but was not added for the external interrupt case.
This needs to be revisited. We now have calls to do_ast() in trap(),
break_syscall() and ivt_External_Interrupt(). A single call in
exception_restore covers these 3 places without duplication. This
is where we handled ASTs prior to the overhaul, except that the
meat has been moved to do_ast(), a C function. This was the goal
to begin with.

created not only with UMA_ZONE_VM but also with UMA_ZONE_NOFREE. In
the i386 case in particular, the pmap code would hook a special
page allocation routine that allocated from kernel_map and not kmem_map,
and so when/if the pageout daemon drained the zones, it could actually
push out slabs from the PV ENTRY zone but call UMA's default page_free,
which resulted in pages allocated from kernel_map being freed to
kmem_map; bad. kmem_free() ignores the return value of the
vm_map_delete and just returns. I'm not sure what the exact
repercussions could be, but it doesn't look good.
In the PAE case on i386, we also set-up a zone in pmap, so be

This commit moves the vnode-backed case into the (relatively) new

amounts to code rearrangement. On alpha and ia64, the new machine
independent (MI) implementation of the vnode case is smaller and more

Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.

let me know right away.

The prime reason for this change is to allow cpu_set_upcall() to copy
(parts of) the trapframe instead of having it done in MI code in each
caller of cpu_set_upcall(). Copying the trapframe cannot always be
done with a simply bcopy() or may not always be optimal that way. On
ia64 specifically the trapframe contains information that is specific
to an entry into the kernel and can only be used by the corresponding
exit from the kernel. A trapframe copied verbatim from another frame
is in most cases useless without some additional normalization.
Note that this change removes the assignment to td->td_frame in some
implementations of cpu_set_upcall(). The assignment is redundant.
A previous call to cpu_thread_setup() already did the exact same
assignment. An added benefit of removing the redundant assignment is
that we can now change td_pcb without nasty side-effects.

backing store before we discard them. It is possible that we
enter the kernel (due to an execve in this case) with a lot of
dirty user registers and that the RSE has only partially spilled
them (to make room for new frames). We cannot move the backing
store pointer down (to discard user registers) when not all of
the user registers are on the backing store.
So, we flush the register stack IFF this happens. Unconditionally
doing the flush is too costly, because the condition in which we
need to flush is very rare.
This change appears to fix the SIGSEGV that sometimes happen for
newly executed processes and so far also appears to fix the last
of the corruption. It is possible, although not likely, that this
change prevents some other bug from happening, even though it is
itself not a fix. Hence the uncertainty. We'll know in a couple
of months I guess :-)
The current name is confusing, because it indicates to
the client that a bus_dmamap_sync() operation is not
necessary when the flag is specified, which is wrong.
The main purpose of this flag is to hint the underlying
architecture that DMA memory should be mapped in a coherent
way, but the architecture can ignore it. But if the
architecture does supports coherent mapping of memory, then
it makes bus_dmamap_sync() calls cheap.
This flag is the same as the one in NetBSD's Bus DMA.

to userland with interrupts disabled until we restore PSR. However,
it has been observed that interrupts do actually happen before they
are enabled again. This is a bit surprising and I don't know yet
what's going on exactly. Nevertheless, the code was not crafted
carefully enough to allow interrupts to happen and we could
clobber the kernel stack of another thread when interrupts did
happen.
This is what happens: we restore the (memory) stack pointer (sp)
and the register stack base prior to restoring ar.k6 and ar.k7.
This is not a problem if interrupts don't happen between setting
sp/ar.bspstore and ar.k6/ar.k7. Alas, interrupts can happen.
Since sp/ar.bspstore already point to the userland stacks, we
need to switch to the kernel stack in interrupt. However, ar.k6
and ar.k7 have not been set, which means that we were switching
to some unrelated kstack and happily clobbered the trapframe
present there if the thread to which the kstack belonged was
in kernel mode or otherwise we could have our trapframe clobbered
if that other thread enters the kernel. Nasty either way.
We now carefully restore ar.k6 prior to restoring ar.bspstore and
likewise for ar.k7 and sp. All we need is the guarantee that an
interrupt does not clobber ar.k6 or ar.k7 before we're back in
userland. That has been achieved by restoring ar.k6/ar.k7
unconditionally (see exception.s)
While here, remove the disabling of interrupts on EPC entry. It
was added as a way to "resolve" the crashes until it was understood
what was going on. I think I achieved the latter, so we can remove
the patch. Note that setting up a trapframe with interrupts
enabled has it's own share of corner cases, but it's better to
properly fixed those than to keep a mostly wrong patch around
because we're afraid to remove it...

PSR only to achieve setting PSR.i back to it's previous value. It
makes it impossible to change any of the 30+ other unrelated bits
when done between intr_disable() and intr_restore(). That's bad.
Instead have intr_disable() return 1 when interrupts were previously
enabled and 0 otherwise and only enable interrupts in intr_restore()
when given a non-0 value.
This change specifically disallows using intr_restore() to disable
interrupts. The reason is simple: interrupts only need to be restored
after they are being disabled, which means that intr_restore() is
called with interrupts disabled and we only need to enable them if
they were previously enabled.
This change does not fix any bugs, other than that it bugged me...

and user mode. We need to take into account that the EPC syscall path
introduces a grey area in which one can argue either way, including a
third: neither.
We now use the region in which the IP address lies. Regions 5, 6 and 7
are kernel VA regions and if the IP lies any any of those regions we
assume we're in kernel mode. Hence, we can be in kernel mode even if
we're not on the kernel stack and/or have user privileges. There're
gremlins living in the twilight zone :-)
For the EPC syscall path this particularly means that the process
leaves user mode the moment it calls into the gateway page. This
makes the most sense because from a process' point of view the call
represents a request to the kernel for some service and that service
has been performed if the call returns. With the metric we picked,
this also means that we're back in user mode IFF the call returns.

when returning from an interrupt. Both registers are used on interrupt
to switch to the right kernel stack, but other than that they are not
used. This means we only have to make sure they contain proper values
while in user mode. As such, we conditionally restored these registers
based on whether we returned to userland or not. A nice property of
conditionally restoring ar.k6 and ar.k7 is that it introduces two
invariants: ar.k6 always points to the bottom of the kernel stack and
ar.k7 always points to the top of the kernel stack (immediately below
the PCB we have there).
However, the EPC syscall path introduces an irregularity: there's no
"thin red line" between user and kernel. There's a grey area that's a
couple of instructions wide. Any interruption in that grey area is
bound to see an inconsistent state. One such state is that we're in
kernel space for all practical purposes, but we still need to have
ar.k6 and ar.k7 restored as if we're in userland.
Thus: restore ar.k6 and ar.k7 unconditionally at the cost of losing
a valuable invariant. Both registers now hold the extend of the
usable portion of the kernel stack at any interrupt nesting, which
when in userland mean the bottom and the top of the kstack.
On alpha, PAL is involved in context management and after wiring
the CPU (in alpha_init()) a context switch was performed to tell
PAL about the context. This was bogusly brought over to ia64
where it introduced bugs, because we restored the context from
a mostly uninitialized PCB.
The cleanup constitutes:
o Remove the unused arguments from ia64_init().
o Don't return from ia64_init(), but instead call mi_startup()
directly. This reduces the amount of muckery in assembly and
also allows for the next bullet:
o Save our currect context prior to calling mi_startup(). The
reason for this is that many threads are created from thread0
by cloning the PCB. By saving our context in the PCB, we have
something sane to clone. It also ensures that a cloned thread
that does not alter the context in any way will return to
the saved context, where we're ready for the eventuality with
a nice, user unfriendly panic().
The cleanup fixes at least the following bugs:
o Entering mi_startup() with the RSE in enforced lazy mode.
o Re-execution of ia64_init() in certain "lab" conditions.
While here, add proper unwind directives to __start() so that
the unwind knows it has reached the bottom of the (call) stack.

(memory nor register). As such, we were also not restoring the
register stack pointer (ar.bspstore). This, however, fails to be
valid in 1 situation: when we interrupt a register stack switch as
is being done in restorectx(). The problem is that restorectx()
needs to have ar.bsp == ar.bspstore before it can assign the new
value to ar.bspstore. This is achieved by doing a loadrs prior to
assigning to ar.bspstore. If we take an interrupt in between the
loadrs and the assignment and we don't make sure we restore the
ar.bspstore prior to returning from the interrupt, we switch
stacks with possibly non-zero dirty registers, which means that
the new frame pointer (ar.bsp) will be invalid.
So, instead of jumping over the restoration of the register frame
pointer and related registers, we conditionalize it based on whether
we return to kernel context or user context. A future performance
tweak is possible by only restoring ar.bspstore when returning to
kernel mode *and* when the RSE is in enforced lazy mode. One cannot
assume ar.bsp == ar.bspstore if the RSE is not in enforced lazy mode
anyway.
While here (well, not quite) don't unconditionally assign to
ar.bspstore in exception_save. Only do that when we actually switch
stacks. It can only harm us to do it unconditionally.

register stack. There's nothing really wrong with flushing before
putting the RSE in enforced lazy mode, provided you don't depend on
ar.bspstore being equal to ar.bsp when the RSE has been put in
enforced lazy more. The small window between the flush and setting
the RSE may be sufficient to have the RSE eagerly increase the dirty
region (and hence cause ar.bspstore != ar.bsp) or have an interrupt
that may even get the laziest RSE to do something.
Anyway: we don't depend on ar.bspstore being equal to ar.bsp, so
nothing was and is broken. But the code was non-intuitive and
easily confuses. This is a source of future bugs.
Note: the advantage of not depending on ar.bspstore is that there's
some recilience against an interrupted flushrs. Clobbering is limited
to stacked register contents only, not to RSE address clobbering.

failt and data access fault install the PTE in question into
the VHPT table. However, a post-increment was missing and we
wrote the raw PTE data into the pagesize/access key field.
This leaves a corrupt VHPT entry.
o While here, remove the explicit cache purge. Insertion into
the translation implicitly purges any overlapping entries.
o Make sure there's a cycle break between the itc and the rfi.
o Whitespace fixes.
a mutex. The only volatile chain operations are insertion and deletion
but since updating an existing PTE also updates the VHPT entry itself,
and we have the VHPT mutex in both other cases, we also lock when we
update an existing PTE even though no chain operation is involved.
Note that we perform the insertion and deletion careful enough that
we don't need to lock traversals. If we need to lock traversals, we
also need to lock from the exception handler, which we can't without
creating a trapframe.
We're now able to withstand a -j8 buildworld. More work is needed to
withstand Murphy fields. In other words: we still have a bogon...

interrupted while writing into the VHPT table. While here, make sure
memory accesses a properly ordered. Tag invalidation must happen
first so that the hardware VHPT walker will not be able to match
this entry while we're updating it and we have to make sure the new
new tag gets written only after the PTE is completely updated.

previously committed cleared pcb_current_pmap prior to changing
the region registers, but that was removed before committing.
Since we don't normally (at all?) pass a NULL pointer, the bug
was mostly harmless. Fix it while I'm here...
I'm here because we need to have data serialization after writing
to the region registers. Not doing so was likely the cause of the
hangs we were experiencing. General exceptions in cpu_switch may
also be caused by the lack of serialization.

switching user regions (region 0-4) with schedlock. Avoid unnecessary
recursion on schedlock by moving the core functionality to another
function (pmap_switch()) where we assert schedlock is held. Turn
pmap_install() into a wrapper that grabs schedlock. This minimizes
the number of callsites that need to be changed.
Since we already have schedlock in cpu_switch() and cpu_throw(),
have them call pmap_switch() directly. These were also the only two
calls to pmap_install() outside pmap.c, so make pmap_install() static
and remove its prototype from pmap.h

prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).
Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)
Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.
Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.
Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.
This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.

kernel_vm_end in pmap_bootstrap. Don't delay the initialization until
we need to grow the kernel VM space. This BTW happens twice before
we enter either single- or multi-user mode. Don't adjust kernel_vm_end
while growing based on whether the KPT contains a non-NULL entry. We
trust kernel_vm_end to be correct and we make sure it's still correct
after growing.
Define virtual_avail and virtual_end in terms of VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS
and VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS (resp). Don't hardcode region knowledge.
o Limit the size of the region ID map to 64KB. This gives a bitmap
that is large enough to keep track of 2^19 numbers. The minimal map
size is 32KB. The reason we limit the map size is that processor
models may have implemented a 24-bit region ID, which would give
a 2MB bitmap while the maximum number of allocations is always
less than PID_MAX*5, which is less than 2^19.
o Allocate all region IDs up-front. The slight downside of reserving
more RIDs then a process needs (3 for ia64 native and 1 for ia32)
is preferable over the call to pmap_ensure_rid() where RIDs are
allocated on demand. On SMP systems this may lead to a race
condition.
o When allocating a region ID, don't use arc4random(). We're not
interested in randomness or uniform distribution across the
spectrum. We only need uniqueness. Random numbers may easily
collide when the number of allocated RIDs is high, creating a
possibly unbounded retry rate.
