Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks".
A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely
during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once
interrupt services are available. This callback will occur before
the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration
task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete
any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init.
System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered. The
hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task
is complete or the system boot can continue.
kern_acct.c kern_clock.c kern_exit.c kern_synch.c kern_time.c:
Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout
service. The new implemntaion is based on the work of
Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical
report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities".
The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one
outlined in the paper. The new function prototypes are:
struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *),
void *arg, int ticks);
void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg,
struct callout_handle handle);
If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the
callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout.
The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts
making this interface scale well even for applications that
keep 100s of callouts outstanding.
See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details.
- We now have enough per-cpu idle context, the real idle loop has been
revived (cpu's halt now with nothing to do).
- Some preliminary support for running some operations outside the
global lock (eg: zeroing "free but not yet zeroed pages") is present
but appears to cause problems. Off by default.
- the smp_active sysctl now behaves differently. It's merely a 'true/false'
option. Setting smp_active to zero causes the AP's to halt in the idle
loop and stop scheduling processes.
- bootstrap is a lot safer. Instead of sharing a statically compiled in
stack a number of times (which has caused lots of problems) and then
abandoning it, we use the idle context to boot the AP's directly. This
should help >2 cpu support since the bootlock stuff was in doubt.
- print physical apic id in traps.. helps identify private pages getting
out of sync. (You don't want to know how much hair I tore out with this!)
More cleanup to follow, this is more of a checkpoint than a
'finished' thing.
We now tsleep() in kthread_init() between start_init()
and prepare_usermode() while waiting for ALL the idle_loop()
processes to come online.

This eliminates a lot of #ifdef SMP type code. Things like _curproc reside
in a data page that is unique on each cpu, eliminating the expensive macros
like: #define curproc (SMPcurproc[cpunumber()])
There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is
standalone so it should be safe. The temporary code goes away when the
full idle cpu support is finished.

There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to

There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition

Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()
and allow the child to return up through the function call tree to return
to user mode - create a new execution context and have the new process
begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer

sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.

The limit is now only used by init, so it may as well be "infinite".
Don't use RLIM_INFINITY, since setrlimit() doesn't allow setting

Similarly for the maxprocesses limits (use the "infinite" value of
maxproc instead if MAXUPRC and RLIM_INFINITY).
NOFILES, MAXUPRC, CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX are no longer used in

This is a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..
NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..
certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)
The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.
These changes solve the problem in a general way by moving the
initialization out of the individual fs_mountroot's and into swaponvp().

require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.

initializing proc0's frame base, too, using cpu_set_init_frame(). It's
a kludge because that macro is intended to be used only for init, but
does what we want nonetheless.
1. The pageout daemon used to block under certain
circumstances, and we needed to add new functionality
that would cause the pageout daemon to block more often.
Now, the pageout daemon mostly just gets rid of pages
and kills processes when the system is out of swap.
The swapping, rss limiting and object cache trimming
have been folded into a new daemon called "vmdaemon".
This new daemon does things that need to be done for
the VM system, but can block. For example, if the
vmdaemon blocks for memory, the pageout daemon
can take care of it. If the pageout daemon had
blocked for memory, it was difficult to handle
the situation correctly (and in some cases, was
impossible).
2. The collapse problem has now been entirely fixed.
It now appears to be impossible to accumulate unnecessary
vm objects. The object collapsing now occurs when ref counts
drop to one (where it is more likely to be more simple anyway
because less pages would be out on disk.) The original
fixes were incomplete in that pathological circumstances
could still be contrived to cause uncontrolled growth
of swap. Also, the old code still, under steady state
conditions, used more swap space than necessary. When
using the new code, users will generally notice a
significant decrease in swap space usage, and theoretically,
the system should be leaving fewer unused pages around
competing for memory.
