- Add a KASSERT() to ensure an ithread has a backing kernel thread when we
schedule it.
- Don't attempt to preemptively switch to an ithread if p_stat of curproc
is not SRUN.
update native priority, it is diffcult to get right and likely
to end up horribly wrong. Use an honestly wrong fixed value
that seems to work; PUSER for user threads, and the interrupt
priority for ithreads. Set it once when the process is created
and forget about it.

an interrupt thread while the interrupt thread is blocked on Giant waiting
to execute the interrupt handler being removed. The result was that the
intrhand structure would be free'd, and we would call 0xdeadc0de. The work
around is to check to see if the interrupt thread is idle when removing a
handler. If not, then we mark the interrupt handler as being dead using
the new IH_DEAD flag and don't remove it from the interrupt threads' list
of handlers. When the interrupt thread resumes, it will see a dead handler
while traversing the list of handlers and will remove the handler then.
work because opt_preemption.h wasn't #include'd. Instead, make use of the
do_switch parameter to ithread_schedule() and do the check in the alpha
interrupt code.
scheduling an interrupt thread to run when needed. This has the side
effect of enabling support for entropy gathering from interrupts on
all architectures.
- Change the software interrupt and x86 and alpha hardware interrupt code
to use ithread_schedule() for most of their processing when scheduling
an interrupt to run.
- Remove the pesky Warning message about interrupt threads having entropy
enabled. I'm not sure why I put that in there in the first place.
- Add more error checking for parameters and change some cases that
returned EINVAL to panic on failure instead via KASSERT().
- Instead of doing a documented evil hack of setting the P_NOLOAD flag
on every interrupt thread whose pri was SWI_CLOCK, set the flag
explicity for clk_ithd's proc during start_softintr().
- All processes go into the same array of queues, with different
scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This
allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into
interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this
in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This
is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement
wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired
effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because
the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle.
vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately
change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same
size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really
be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof
sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.
- Add a set of MI helper functions for interrupt threads:
- ithread_create() creates a new interrupt thread
- ithread_destroy() destroys an interrupt thread
- ithread_add_handler() attaches a new handler to an interrupt thread
- ithread_remove_handler() detaches a handler from an interrupt thread
- Rename sinthand_add() and sched_swi() to swi_add() and swi_sched()
respectively so that they live in a consistent namespace.
- struct intrhand is no longer a public type. It would be private to
kern_intr.c but the current implementation of fast interrupts on the
alpha requires the type to be exported. However, all handlers should
be treated as void * cookies in the way that new-bus treats them. This
includes references to software interrupt handlers.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.

- Move the code to translate new-bus interrupt flags into an interrupt thread

Interrupts under the new scheme are managed by the i386 nexus with the
awareness of the resource manager. There is further room for optimizing
the interfaces still. All the users of register_intr()/intr_create()
