that were added to sparc64 and later powerpc, really should have been in
the MI area. But changing that now with insufficient preperation will
just cause too much pain.
Move MD_FETCH() to the MI sys/linker.h file to avoid another two copies
of it.
syscall return values should be cleared. The system calls
getcontext() and swapcontext() want to return 0 on success
but these contexts can be switched to at a later time so
the return values need to be cleared in the saved register
sets. Other callers of get_mcontext() would normally want
the context without clearing the return values.
Remove the i386-specific context saving from the KSE code.
get_mcontext() is not i386-specific any more.
Fix a bad pointer in the alpha get_mcontext() code. The
context was being bcopy()'d from &td->tf_frame, but tf_frame
is itself a pointer, so the thread was being copied instead.

there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.

- Simplify the logic for detecting context rollovers. Instead of dealing
with it when the next context switch would cause the context numbers to
rollover, deal with it when they actually do rollover.
- Move some things around in cpu_switch so that we only do 1 membar #Sync
when switching address space, instead of 2.
- Detect kernel threads by comparing the new vm space to vmspace0, instead
if checking if the tlb context is 0.
- Removed some debug code.

These are called through function pointers so that different implementations
can be provided for cheetah, where the block load instructions may or may
not be a win, and so they can be disabled with the machdep.use_vis tunable.
In terms of raw bandwidth the integer versions are faster, but not allocating
lines in the L2 cache for useless data gives a measurable improvement in user
time for the benchmarks I tested (mostly buildworld with -j8).
As far as I can tell the instructions used are implemented on everything
back to UltraSPARC I, so there should not be a problem with different cpu
types.
to take care of the KAME IPv6 code which needs ovbcopy() because NetBSD's
bcopy() doesn't handle overlap like ours.
Remove all implementations of ovbcopy().
Previously, bzero was a function pointer on i386, to save a jmp to
bzero_vector. Get rid of this microoptimization as it only confuses
things, adds machine-dependent code to an MD header, and doesn't really
save all that much.
This commit does not add my pagezero() / pagecopy() code.
can do 64 bytes at a time and don't allocate lines in the L2 cache. These
assume that everything is 64 byte aligned, and that there's more than 128
bytes of data (best for whole pages). The block load and store instructions
don't follow normal memory ordering rules and require either a memory barrier
or move between registers before the data can actually be used. This
implementation correctly shuffles around 3 out of the 4 sets of registers
in order to avoid memory barriers expect for the last 2 blocks.
will be saved if we context switch as a result of an interrupt which occured
while using the floating point registers in the kernel (which actually can't
happen right now). This allows fp disabled traps in the kernel, which
normally shouldn't happen, so make sure the trapping code is what we expect
it is.

as it could be and can do with some more cleanup. Currently its under
options LAZY_SWITCH. What this does is avoid %cr3 reloads for short
context switches that do not involve another user process. ie: we can
take an interrupt, switch to a kthread and return to the user without
explicitly flushing the tlb. However, this isn't as exciting as it could
be, the interrupt overhead is still high and too much blocks on Giant
still. There are some debug sysctls, for stats and for an on/off switch.
The main problem with doing this has been "what if the process that you're
running on exits while we're borrowing its address space?" - in this case
we use an IPI to give it a kick when we're about to reclaim the pmap.
Its not compiled in unless you add the LAZY_SWITCH option. I want to fix a
few more things and get some more feedback before turning it on by default.
This is NOT a replacement for Bosko's lazy interrupt stuff. This was more
meant for the kthread case, while his was for interrupts. Mine helps a
little for interrupts, but his helps a lot more.
The stats are enabled with options SWTCH_OPTIM_STATS - this has been a
pseudo-option for years, I just added a bunch of stuff to it.
One non-trivial change was to select a new thread before calling
cpu_switch() in the first place. This allows us to catch the silly
case of doing a cpu_switch() to the current process. This happens
uncomfortably often. This simplifies a bit of the asm code in cpu_switch
(no longer have to call choosethread() in the middle). This has been
implemented on i386 and (thanks to jake) sparc64. The others will come
soon. This is actually seperate to the lazy switch stuff.
