Replace with a more generic mechanism that allows MD busdma
implementations to generate inline mapping functions by
defining WANT_INLINE_DMAMAP in <machine/bus_dma.h>. This
is currently useful for sparc64, x86, and arm64, which all
implement non-load dmamap operations as simple wrappers

For non-x86 platforms, these checks are a minor pessimization

maps were originally allowed on arm64, which appears to have

to bus_dma.h, but that support was removed in r299463.

I fixed this in 1997, but the fix was over-engineered and fragile and
was broken in 2003 if not before. i386 parameters were copied to 8
other arches verbatim, mostly after they stopped working on i386, and
mostly without the large comment saying how the values were chosen on
i386. powerpc has a non-verbatim copy which just changes the uncritical
parameter and seems to add a sign extension bug to it.
Just treat negative offsets as offsets if they are no more negative than
-db_offset_max (default -64K), and remove all the broken parameters.
-64K is not very negative, but it is enough for frame and stack pointer
offsets since kernel stacks are small.
The over-engineering was mainly to go more negative than -64K for the
negative offset format, without affecting printing for more than a
single address.
Addresses in the top 64K of a (full 32-bit or 64-bit) address space
are now printed less well, but there aren't many interesting ones.
For arches that have many interesting ones very near the top (e.g.,
68k has interrupt vectors there), there would be no good limit for
the negative offset format and -64K is a good as anything.
On the original i386, %dr[4-5] were unimplemented but not very clearly
reserved, so debuggers read them to print them. i386 was still doing
this.
On the original athlon64, %dr[4-5] are documented as reserved but are
aliased to %dr[6-7] unless CR4_DE is set, when accessing them traps.
On 2 of my systems, accessing %dr[4-5] trapped sometimes. On my Haswell
system, the apparent randomness was because the boot CPU starts with
CR4_DE set while all other CPUs start with CR4_DE clear. FreeBSD
doesn't support the data breakpoints enabled by CR4_DE and it never
changes this flag, so the flag remains different across CPUs and
the behaviour seemed inconsistent except while booting when the CPU
doesn't change.
The invalid accesses broke:
- read access for printing the registers in ddb "show watches" on CPUs
with CR4_DE set
- read accesses in fill_dbregs() on CPUs with CR4_DE set. This didn't
implement panic(3) since the user case always skipped %dr[4-5].
- write accesses in set_dbregs(). This also didn't affect userland.
When it didn't trap, the aliasing made it fragile.
Don't print the dummy (zero) values of %dr[4-5] in "show watches" for
i386 or amd64. Fix style bugs near this printing.
amd64 also has space in the dbregs struct for the reserved %dr[8-15]
and already didn't print the dummy values for these, and never accessed
any of the 10 reserved debug registers.
Remove cpufuncs for making the invalid accesses. Even amd64 had these.

Runtime services require special execution environment for the call.
Besides that, OS must inform firmware about runtime virtual memory map
which will be active during the calls, with the SetVirtualAddressMap()
runtime call, done while the 1:1 mapping is still used. There are two
complication: the SetVirtualAddressMap() effectively must be done from
loader, which needs to know kernel address map in advance. More,
despite not explicitely mentioned in the specification, both 1:1 and
the map passed to SetVirtualAddressMap() must be active during the
SetVirtualAddressMap() call. Second, there are buggy BIOSes which
require both mappings active during runtime calls as well, most likely
because they fail to identify all relocations to perform.
On amd64, we can get rid of both problems by providing 1:1 mapping for
the duration of runtime calls, by temprorary remapping user addresses.
As result, we avoid the need for loader to know about future kernel
address map, and avoid bugs in BIOSes. Typically BIOS only maps
something in low 4G. If not runtime bugs, we would take advantage of
the DMAP, as previous versions of this patch did.
Similar but more complicated trick can be used even for i386 and 32bit
runtime, if and when the EFI boot on i386 is supported. We would need
a trampoline page, since potentially whole 4G of VA would be switched
on calls, instead of only userspace portion on amd64.
Context switches are disabled for the duration of the call, FPU access
is granted, and interrupts are not disabled. The later is possible
because kernel is mapped during calls.
To test, the sysctl mib debug.efi_time is provided, setting it to 1
makes one call to EFI get_time() runtime service, on success the efitm
structure is printed to the control terminal. Load efirt.ko, or add
EFIRT option to the kernel config, to enable code.

This is not very easy to do, since ddb didn't know when traps are
for single-stepping. It more or less assumed that traps are either
breakpoints or single-step, but even for x86 this became inadequate
with the release of the i386 in ~1986, and FreeBSD passes it other
trap types for NMIs and panics.
On x86, teach ddb when a trap is for single stepping using the %dr6
register. Unknown traps are now treated almost the same as breakpoints
instead of as the same as single-steps. Previously, the classification
of breakpoints was almost correct and everything else was unknown so
had to be treated as a single-step. Now the classification of single-
steps is precise, the classification of breakpoints is almost correct
(as before) and everything else is unknown and treated like a
breakpoint.
This fixes:
- breakpoints not set by ddb, including the main one in kdb_enter(),
were treated as single-steps and not stopped on when stepping
(except for the usual, simple case of a step with residual count 1).
As special cases, kdb_enter() didn't stop for fatal traps or panics
- similarly for "hardware breakpoints".
Use a new MD macro IS_SSTEP_TRAP(type, code) to code to classify
single-steps. This is excessively complicated for bug-for-bug and
backwards compatibilty. Design errors apparently started in Mach
in ~1990 or perhaps in the FreeBSD interface in ~1993. Common trap
types like single steps should have a unique MI code (like the TRAP*
codes for user SIGTRAP) so that debuggers don't need macros like
IS_SSTEP_TRAP() to decode them. But 'type' is actually an ambiguous
MD trap number, and code was always 0 (now it is (int)%dr6 on x86).
So it was impossible to determine the trap type from the args.
Global variables had to be used.
There is already a classification macro db_pc_is_single_step(), but
this just gets in the way. It is only used to recover from bugs in
IS_BREAKPOINT_TRAP(). On some arches, IS_BREAKPOINT_TRAP() just
duplicates the ambiguity in 'type' and misclassifies single-steps as
breakpoints. It defaults to 'false', which is the opposite of what is
needed for bug-for-bug compatibility.
When this is cleaned up, MI classification bits should be passed in
'code'. This could be done now for positive-logic bits, since 'code'
was always 0, but some negative logic is needed for compatibility so
a simple MI classificition is not usable yet.
After reading %dr6, clear the single-step bit in it so that the type
of the next debugger trap can be decoded. This is a little
ddb-specific. ddb doesn't understand the need to clear this bit and
doing it before calling kdb is easiest. gdb would need to reverse
this to support hardware breakpoints, but it just doesn't support
them now since gdbstub doesn't support %dr*.
Fix a bug involving %dr6: when emulating a single-step trap for vm86,
set the bit for it in %dr6. Userland debuggers need this. ddb now
needs this for vm86 bios calls. The bit gets copied to 'code' then
cleared again.
Fix related style bugs:
- when clearing bits for hardware breakpoints in %dr6, spell the mask
as ~0xf on both amd64 and i386 to get the correct number of bits
using sign extension and not need a comment about using the wrong
mask on amd64 (amd64 traps for invalid results but clearing the
reserved top bits didn't trap since they are 0).
- rewrite my old wrong comments about using %dr6 for ddb watchpoints.
The 'cpu' and 'cpu_class' variables were always set to the same value
on amd64 and are legacy holdovers from i386. Remove them entirely on
amd64.

for zeroing pages in idle where nontemporal writes are clearly best.
This is almost a no-op since zeroing in idle works does nothing good
and is off by default. Fix END() statement forgotten in previous
commit.
Align the loop in sse2_pagezero(). Since it writes to main memory,
the loop doesn't have to be very carefully written to keep up.
Unrolling it was considered useless or harmful and was not done on
i386, but that was too careless.
Timing for i386: the loop was not unrolled at all, and moved only 4
bytes/iteration. So on a 2GHz CPU, it needed to run at 2 cycles/
iteration to keep up with a memory speed of just 4GB/sec. But when
it crossed a 16-byte boundary, on old CPUs it ran at 3 cycles/
iteration so it gave a maximum speed of 2.67GB/sec and couldn't even
keep up with PC3200 memory. Fix the alignment so that it keep up with
4GB/sec memory, and unroll once to get nearer to 8GB/sec. Further
unrolling might be useless or harmful since it would prevent the loop
fitting in 16-bytes. My test system with an old CPU and old DDR1 only
needed 5+ GB/sec. My test system with a new CPU and DDR3 doesn't need
any changes to keep up ~16GB/sec.
Timing for amd64: with 8-byte accesses and newer faster CPUs it is
easy to reach 16GB/sec but not so easy to go much faster. The
alignment doesn't matter much if the CPU is not very old. The loop
was already unrolled 4 times, but needs 32 bytes and uses a fancy
method that doesn't work for 2-way unrolling in 16 bytes. Just
align it to 32-bytes.

TLBs for addresses with updated PTEs are always flushed before pmap
lock is unlocked. On the other hand, amd64 pmap code does not always
flushes TLBs before PV list locks are unlocked, if previously PTEs
were cleared and PV entries removed.
To handle the situations where a thread might notice empty PV list but
third thread still having access to the page due to TLB invalidation
not finished yet, introduce delayed invalidation. Comparing with the
pvh_global_lock, DI does not block entered thread when
pmap_remove_all() or pmap_remove_write() (callers of
pmap_delayed_invl_wait()) are executed in parallel. But _invl_wait()
callers are blocked until all previously noted DI blocks are leaved,
thus ensuring that neccessary TLB invalidations were performed before
returning from pmap_remove_all() or pmap_remove_write().
See comments for detailed description of the mechanism, and also for
the explanations why several pmap methods, most important
pmap_enter(), do not need DI protection.
