via the debug.minidump sysctl and tunable.
Traditional dumps store all physical memory. This was once a good thing
when machines had a maximum of 64M of ram and 1GB of kvm. These days,
machines often have many gigabytes of ram and a smaller amount of kvm.
libkvm+kgdb don't have a way to access physical ram that is not mapped
into kvm at the time of the crash dump, so the extra ram being dumped
is mostly wasted.
Minidumps invert the process. Instead of dumping physical memory in
in order to guarantee that all of kvm's backing is dumped, minidumps
instead dump only memory that is actively mapped into kvm.
amd64 has a direct map region that things like UMA use. Obviously we
cannot dump all of the direct map region because that is effectively
an old style all-physical-memory dump. Instead, introduce a bitmap
and two helper routines (dump_add_page(pa) and dump_drop_page(pa)) that
allow certain critical direct map pages to be included in the dump.
uma_machdep.c's allocator is the intended consumer.
Dumps are a custom format. At the very beginning of the file is a header,
then a copy of the message buffer, then the bitmap of pages present in
the dump, then the final level of the kvm page table trees (2MB mappings
are expanded into a 4K page mappings), then the sparse physical pages
according to the bitmap. libkvm can now conveniently access the kvm
page table entries.
Booting my test 8GB machine, forcing it into ddb and forcing a dump
leads to a 48MB minidump. While this is a best case, I expect minidumps
to be in the 100MB-500MB range. Obviously, never larger than physical
memory of course.
minidumps are on by default. It would want be necessary to turn them off
if it was necessary to debug corrupt kernel page table management as that
would mess up minidumps as well.
Both minidumps and regular dumps are supported on the same machine.
PCB in which the context of stopped CPUs is stored. To access this
PCB from KDB, we introduce a new define, called KDB_STOPPEDPCB. The
definition, when present, lives in <machine/kdb.h> and abstracts
where MD code saves the context. Define KDB_STOPPEDPCB on i386,
amd64, alpha and sparc64 in accordance to previous code.
with large mmap files mapped into many processes, this saves hundreds of
megabytes of ram.
pv entries were individually allocated and had two tailq entries and two
pointers (or addresses). Each pv entry was linked to a vm_page_t and
a process's address space (pmap). It had the virtual address and a
pointer to the pmap.
This change replaces the individual allocation with a per-process
allocation system. A page ("pv chunk") is allocated and this provides
168 pv entries for that process. We can now eliminate one of the 16 byte
tailq entries because we can simply iterate through the pv chunks to find
all the pv entries for a process. We can eliminate one of the 8 byte
pointers because the location of the pv entry implies the containing
pv chunk, which has the pointer. After overheads from the pv chunk
bitmap and tailq linkage, this works out that each pv entry has an
effective size of 24.38 bytes.
Future work still required, and other problems:
* when running low on pv entries or system ram, we may need to defrag
the chunk pages and free any spares. The stats (vm.pmap.*) show that
this doesn't seem to be that much of a problem, but it can be done if
needed.
* running low on pv entries is now a much bigger problem. The old
get_pv_entry() routine just needed to reclaim one other pv entry.
Now, since they are per-process, we can only use pv entries that are
assigned to our current process, or by stealing an entire page worth
from another process. Under normal circumstances, the pmap_collect()
code should be able to dislodge some pv entries from the current
process. But if needed, it can still reclaim entire pv chunk pages
from other processes.
* This should port to i386 really easily, except there it would reduce
pv entries from 24 bytes to about 12 bytes.

- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat
ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently
using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other
"hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with
local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear
if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from
somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical
clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on
certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical
cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway.
- We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via
the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC
driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be
shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the
same way that I/O APIC pins are.
- Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an
interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID.
- The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to
handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing,
it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we
wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0
for now).
- For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first
interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now
bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs.
- Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would
be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we
could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts,
or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs.
The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks
had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work
fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose
interrupts).

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

source is first enabled similar to how intr_event's now allocate ithreads
on-demand. Previously, we would map IDT vectors 1:1 to IRQs. Since we
only have 191 available IDT vectors for I/O interrupts, this limited us
to only supporting IRQs 0-190 corresponding to the first 190 I/O APIC
intpins. On many machines, however, each PCI-X bus has its own APIC even
though it only has 1 or 2 devices, thus, we were reserving between 24 and
32 IRQs just for 1 or 2 devices and thus 24 or 32 IDT vectors. With this
change, a machine with 100 IRQs but only 5 in use will only use up 5 IDT
vectors. Also, this change provides an API (apic_alloc_vector() and
apic_free_vector()) that will allow a future MSI interrupt source driver to
request IDT vectors for use by MSI interrupts on x86 machines.

and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried
in the future.
- Split struct ithd up into two pieces. struct intr_event holds the list
of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event. This
means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
no handlers. It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
intr_foo naming convention. This did require renaming the powerpc
MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
powerpc. This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
to the same interrupt. Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
either. Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
exclusively. The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
dumping their state. It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
braindead behavior. The code is present, though, it is just under
#if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more
readable. Previously this code was all in the middle of ithread_loop()
and indented halfway across the screen.
- Made struct intr_thread private to kern_intr.c and replaced td_ithd
with a thread private flag TDP_ITHREAD.
- In statclock, check curthread against idlethread directly rather than
curthread's proc against idlethread's proc. (Not really related to intr

IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI. If the kernel
option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled). This
includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of
being dependent on KDB_STOP_NMI. It works fine in both the NMI and
non-NMI cases.
- Add newer CPUID definitions for future use.

dump format. The key reason to do this is so that we can dump sparse
address space. For example, we need to be able to skip the PCI hole
just below the 4GB boundary. Trying to destructively dump MMIO device
registers is Really Bad(TM). The frequent result of trying to do a
crash dump on a machine with 4GB or more ram was ugly (lockup or reboot).
This code has been taken directly from the IA64 dump_machdep.c code,
with just a few (mostly minor) mods.
Introduce a dump_avail[] array in the machdep.c code so that we have a
source of truth for what memory is present in a machine that needs to be
dumped. We can't use phys_avail[] because all sorts of things slice
memory out of it that we really need to dump. eg: the vm page array
and the dmesg buffer. dump_avail[] is pretty much an unmolested version
of phys_avail[]. It does have Maxmem correction.
