The goal of this change is to fix a problem with PCI shared interrupts
during suspend and resume.
I have observed a couple of variations of the following scenario.
Devices A and B are on the same PCI bus and share the same interrupt.
Device A's driver is suspended first and the device is powered down.
Device B generates an interrupt. Interrupt handlers of both drivers are
called. Device A's interrupt handler accesses registers of the powered
down device and gets back bogus values (I assume all 0xff). That data is
interpreted as interrupt status bits, etc. So, the interrupt handler
gets confused and may produce some noise or enter an infinite loop, etc.
This change affects only PCI devices. The pci(4) bus driver marks a
child's interrupt handler as suspended after the child's suspend method
is called and before the device is powered down. This is done only for
traditional PCI interrupts, because only they can be shared.
At the moment the change is only for x86.
Notable changes in core subsystems / interfaces:
- BUS_SUSPEND_INTR and BUS_RESUME_INTR methods are added to bus
interface along with convenience functions bus_suspend_intr and
bus_resume_intr;
- rman_set_irq_cookie and rman_get_irq_cookie functions are added to
provide a way to associate an interrupt resource with an interrupt
cookie;
- intr_event_suspend_handler and intr_event_resume_handler functions
are added to the MI interrupt handler interface.
I added two new interrupt handler flags, IH_SUSP and IH_CHANGED, to
implement the new intr_event functions. IH_SUSP marks a suspended
interrupt handler. IH_CHANGED is used to implement a barrier that
ensures that a change to the interrupt handler's state is visible
to future interrupts.
While there, I fixed some whitespace issues in comments and changed a
couple of logically boolean variables to be bool.

The SLIT and SRAT ACPI tables needs to be parsed on arm64 as well, on

need to move most of the logic of x86/acpica/srat.c to dev/acpica and
provide an API that architectures can use to parse and configure ACPI
NUMA information.
This commit adds the API in srat.c as a first step, without making any

as the next step.
The functions added are:
* int acpi_pxm_init(int ncpus, vm_paddr_t maxphys) - to allocate and

* void acpi_pxm_parse_tables(void) - parse SRAT/SLIT, save the cpu and

* void acpi_pxm_set_cpu_locality(void) - use the saved data to set cpu

* void acpi_pxm_free(void) - free data structures allocated by init
On arm64, we do not have an cpu APIC id that can be used as index to

On some Intel devices BIOS does not properly reserve memory (called
"stolen memory") for the GPU. If the stolen memory is claimed by the
OS, functions that depend on stolen memory (like frame buffer
compression) can't be used.
A function called pci_early_quirks that is called before the virtual
memory system is started was added. In Linux, this PCI early quirks
function iterates through all PCI slots to check for any device that
require quirks. While this more generic solution is preferable I only
ported the Intel graphics specific parts because I think my
implementation would be too similar to Linux GPL'd solution after
looking at the Linux code too much.
The code regarding Intel graphics stolen memory was ported from
Linux. In the case of Intel graphics stolen memory this
pci_early_quirks will read the stolen memory base and size from north
bridge registers. The values are stored in global variables that is
later read by linuxkpi_gplv2. Linuxkpi stores these values in a
Linux-specific structure that is read by the drm driver.
Relevant linuxkpi code is here:
https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/blob/drm-v4.16/linuxkpi/gplv2/src/linux_compat.c#L37
For now, only amd64 arch is suppor ted since that is the only arch
supported by the new drm drivers. I was told that Intel GPUs are
always located on 0:2:0 so these values are hard coded for now.
Note that the structure and early execution of the detection code is
not required in its current form, but we expect that the code will be
added shortly which fixes the potential BIOS bugs by reserving the
stolen range in phys_avail[]. This must be done as early as possible
to avoid conflicts with the potential usage of the memory in kernel.

Previously, x86 used static ranges of IRQ values for different types
of I/O interrupts. Interrupt pins on I/O APICs and 8259A PICs used
IRQ values from 0 to 254. MSI interrupts used a compile-time-defined
range starting at 256, and Xen event channels used a
compile-time-defined range after MSI. Some recent systems have more
than 255 I/O APIC interrupt pins which resulted in those IRQ values
overflowing into the MSI range triggering an assertion failure.
Replace statically assigned ranges with dynamic ranges. Do a single
pass computing the sizes of the IRQ ranges (PICs, MSI, Xen) to
determine the total number of IRQs required. Allocate the interrupt
source and interrupt count arrays dynamically once this pass has
completed. To minimize runtime complexity these arrays are only sized
once during bootup. The PIC range is determined by the PICs present
in the system. The MSI and Xen ranges continue to use a fixed size,
though this does make it possible to turn the MSI range size into a
tunable in the future.
As a result, various places are updated to use dynamic limits instead
of constants. In addition, the vmstat(8) utility has been taught to
understand that some kernels may treat 'intrcnt' and 'intrnames' as
pointers rather than arrays when extracting interrupt stats from a
crashdump. This is determined by the presence (vs absence) of a
global 'nintrcnt' symbol.
This change reverts r189404 which worked around a buggy BIOS which
enumerated an I/O APIC twice (using the same memory mapped address for
both entries but using an IRQ base of 256 for one entry and a valid
IRQ base for the second entry). Making the "base" of MSI IRQ values
dynamic avoids the panic that r189404 worked around, and there may now
be valid I/O APICs with an IRQ base above 256 which this workaround
would incorrectly skip.
If in the future the issue reported in PR 130483 reoccurs, we will
have to add a pass over the I/O APIC entries in the MADT to detect
duplicates using the memory mapped address and use some strategy to
choose the "correct" one.
While here, reserve room in intrcnts for the Hyper-V counters.

This is all that is left from an attempt to build a (sub-)minimal kernel

Expected NMI-s are those than are either generated by the software (such
as a CPU sending NMI to other CPU) or generated by the hardware after
the software configured it to do so (such as NMI-s on PMC events).
Some unexpected NMI-s can be caused by hardware failures and it is
possible to inquire the hardware about them (somewhat like MCA but much
more primitive) using an EISA mechanism. In some cases the origin of
the NMI can remain truly unknown.
This commit should not change any functionality. It just reorganizes

of the NMI. Also, it frees the code that has nothing to do with ISA

This change adds a new optional console method cn_resume and a kernel
console interface cnresume. Consoles that may need to re-initialize
their hardware after suspend (e.g., because firmware does not care to do
it) will implement cn_resume. Note that it is called in rather early
environment not unlike early boot, so the same restrictions apply.
Platform specific code, for platforms that support hardware suspend,
should call cnresume early after resume, before any console output is
expected.
This change fixes a problem with a system of mine failing to resume when
a serial console is used. I found that the serial port was in a strange
configuration and an attempt to write to it likely resulted in an
infinite loop.
To avoid adding cn_resume method to every console driver, CONSOLE_DRIVER

The idea is to calibrate the LAPIC timer just once and only on boot,

My primary motivation is to fix a panic that can happen when dynamically

et_hw_mtx when printing the calibration results to console. See the
review for the details of the panic.
Also, the code should become slightly simpler and easier to read. The

The change makes the user and kernel address spaces on i386
independent, giving each almost the full 4G of usable virtual addresses
except for one PDE at top used for trampoline and per-CPU trampoline
stacks, and system structures that must be always mapped, namely IDT,
GDT, common TSS and LDT, and process-private TSS and LDT if allocated.
By using 1:1 mapping for the kernel text and data, it appeared
possible to eliminate assembler part of the locore.S which bootstraps
initial page table and KPTmap. The code is rewritten in C and moved
into the pmap_cold(). The comment in vmparam.h explains the KVA
layout.
There is no PCID mechanism available in protected mode, so each
kernel/user switch forth and back completely flushes the TLB, except
for the trampoline PTD region. The TLB invalidations for userspace
becomes trivial, because IPI handlers switch page tables. On the other
hand, context switches no longer need to reload %cr3.
copyout(9) was rewritten to use vm_fault_quick_hold(). An issue for
new copyout(9) is compatibility with wiring user buffers around sysctl
handlers. This explains two kind of locks for copyout ptes and
accounting of the vslock() calls. The vm_fault_quick_hold() AKA slow
path, is only tried after the 'fast path' failed, which temporary
changes mapping to the userspace and copies the data to/from small
per-cpu buffer in the trampoline. If a page fault occurs during the
copy, it is short-circuit by exception.s to not even reach C code.
The change was motivated by the need to implement the Meltdown
mitigation, but instead of KPTI the full split is done. The i386
architecture already shows the sizing problems, in particular, it is
impossible to link clang and lld with debugging. I expect that the
issues due to the virtual address space limits would only exaggerate
and the split gives more liveness to the platform.

Use PCID to avoid complete TLB shootdown when switching between user
and kernel mode with PTI enabled.
I use the model close to what I read about KAISER, user-mode PCID has
1:1 correspondence to the kernel-mode PCID, by setting bit 11 in PCID.
Full kernel-mode TLB shootdown is performed on context switches, since
KVA TLB invalidation only works in the current pmap. User-mode part of
TLB is flushed on the pmap activations as well.
Similarly, IPI TLB shootdowns must handle both kernel and user address
spaces for each address. Note that machines which implement PCID but
do not have INVPCID instructions, cause the usual complications in the
IPI handlers, due to the need to switch to the target PCID temporary.
This is racy, but because for PCID/no-INVPCID we disable the
interrupts in pmap_activate_sw(), IPI handler cannot see inconsistent
state of CPU PCID vs PCPU pmap/kcr3/ucr3 pointers.
On the other hand, on kernel/user switches, CR3_PCID_SAVE bit is set
and we do not clear TLB.
I can imagine alternative use of PCID, where there is only one PCID
allocated for the kernel pmap. Then, there is no need to shootdown
kernel TLB entries on context switch. But copyout(3) would need to
either use method similar to proc_rwmem() to access the userspace
data, or (in reverse) provide a temporal mapping for the kernel buffer
into user mode PCID and use trampoline for copy.

The implementation of the Kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI) for
amd64, first version. It provides a workaround for the 'meltdown'
vulnerability. PTI is turned off by default for now, enable with the
loader tunable vm.pmap.pti=1.
The pmap page table is split into kernel-mode table and user-mode
table. Kernel-mode table is identical to the non-PTI table, while
usermode table is obtained from kernel table by leaving userspace
mappings intact, but only leaving the following parts of the kernel
mapped:
kernel text (but not modules text)
PCPU
GDT/IDT/user LDT/task structures
IST stacks for NMI and doublefault handlers.
Kernel switches to user page table before returning to usermode, and
restores full kernel page table on the entry. Initial kernel-mode
stack for PTI trampoline is allocated in PCPU, it is only 16
qwords. Kernel entry trampoline switches page tables. then the
hardware trap frame is copied to the normal kstack, and execution
continues.
IST stacks are kept mapped and no trampoline is needed for
NMI/doublefault, but of course page table switch is performed.
On return to usermode, the trampoline is used again, iret frame is
copied to the trampoline stack, page tables are switched and iretq is
executed. The case of iretq faulting due to the invalid usermode
context is tricky, since the frame for fault is appended to the
trampoline frame. Besides copying the fault frame and original
(corrupted) frame to kstack, the fault frame must be patched to make
it look as if the fault occured on the kstack, see the comment in
doret_iret detection code in trap().
Currently kernel pages which are mapped during trampoline operation
are identical for all pmaps. They are registered using
pmap_pti_add_kva(). Besides initial registrations done during boot,
LDT and non-common TSS segments are registered if user requested their
use. In principle, they can be installed into kernel page table per
pmap with some work. Similarly, PCPU can be hidden from userspace
mapping using trampoline PCPU page, but again I do not see much
benefits besides complexity.
PDPE pages for the kernel half of the user page tables are
pre-allocated during boot because we need to know pml4 entries which
are copied to the top-level paging structure page, in advance on a new
pmap creation. I enforce this to avoid iterating over the all
existing pmaps if a new PDPE page is needed for PTI kernel mappings.
The iteration is a known problematic operation on i386.
The need to flush hidden kernel translations on the switch to user
mode make global tables (PG_G) meaningless and even harming, so PG_G
use is disabled for PTI case. Our existing use of PCID is
incompatible with PTI and is automatically disabled if PTI is
enabled. PCID can be forced on only for developer's benefit.
MCE is known to be broken, it requires IST stack to operate completely
correctly even for non-PTI case, and absolutely needs dedicated IST
stack because MCE delivery while trampoline did not switched from PTI
stack is fatal. The fix is pending.
