old code special cased them too early which caused a few differences for
these sort of links relative to other PCI links:
- They were always re-routed via the BIOS call instead of assuming that
they were already routed if the BIOS had programmed the IRQ into a
matching device during POST.
- If the BIOS did route that link to a different IRQ that was marked as
invalid, we trusted the $PIR table rather than the BIOS IRQ.
This change moves the special casing for "unique IRQ" links to only take
that into account when picking an IRQ for an unrouted link so that these
links will now not be routed if the BIOS appears to have routed it already
(some BIOSen have problems with that) and so that if the BIOS uses a
different IRQ than the $PIR, we trust the BIOS routing instead (this is
what we do for all other links as well).

For the i386 and amd64, create the tunable, machdep.prot_fault_translation,
with the following behaviour:
0 = autodetect the signal to be delivered on KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE
from vm_fault based on the ELF OSABI note:
no note or __FreeBSD_version < 700004 - SIGBUS/BUS_PAGE_FAULT
note, and __FreeBSD_version >= 700004 - SIGSEGV/SEGV_ACCERR
1 = always SIGBUS/BUS_PAGE_FAULT
2 = always SIGSEGV/SEGV_ACCERR
This would do mostly automatic correction of ABI breakage, with the exception
of the untaged binaries for 7-CURRENT/RELENG_7 before the note is fixed. For
them, sysctl would allow to run the binary with manual settings.

allocation fails and pv entries are reclaimed, there may be an unused pv
entry in a pv chunk that survived the reclamation. However, previously,
after reclamation, get_pv_entry() did not look for an unused pv entry in
a surviving pv chunk; it simply retried the page allocation. Now, it
does look for an unused pv entry before retrying the page allocation.
Note: This only applies to RELENG_7. Earlier branches use a different

since the branch caches on at least Athlon XP through Athlon 64 CPU's
don't understand such instructions and guarantee a cache miss taking
at least 10 cycles. Use the documented workaround "ret $0" instead
("nop; ret" also works, but "ret $0" is probably faster on old CPUs).
Normal code (even asm code) doesn't branch to "ret", since there is
usually some cleanup to do, but the __mcount, .mcount and .mexitcount
entry points were optimized too well to have the minimum number of
instructions (3 instructions each if profiling is not enabled) and
they did this. I didn't see a significant number of cache misses for
.mexitcount, but for the shared "ret" for __mcount and .mcount I
observed cache misses costing 26 cycles each. For a send(2) syscall
that makes about 70 function calls, the cost of these cache misses
alone increased the syscall time from about 4000 cycles to about 7000
cycles. 4000 is for a profiling (GUPROF) kernel with profiling disabled;
after this fix, configuring profiling only costs about 600 cycles in the
4000, which is consistent with almost perfect branch prediction in the
mcounting calls.

- For i386, ignore whatever value was in 0xcf8 before testing for type #1
and instead rely on the other tests to determine if type #1 works. Some
newer machines leave garbage in 0xcf8 during boot and as a result the
kernel doesn't find PCI at all (which greatly confuses ACPI which expects
PCI to exist when PCI busses are in the namespace).

include the ithread scheduling step. Without this, a preemption might
occur in between the interrupt getting masked and the ithread getting
scheduled. Since the interrupt handler runs in the context of curthread,
the scheudler might see it as having a such a low priority on a busy system
that it doesn't get to run for a _long_ time, leaving the interrupt stranded
in a disabled state. The only way that the preemption can happen is by
a fast/filter handler triggering a schduling event earlier in the handler,
so this problem can only happen for cases where an interrupt is being
shared by both a fast/filter handler and an ithread handler. Unfortunately,
it seems to be common for this sharing to happen with network and USB
devices, for example. This fixes many of the mysterious TCP session
timeouts and NIC watchdogs that were being reported. Many thanks to Sam
Lefler for getting to the bottom of this problem.

First, a file is mmap(2)ed and then mlock(2)ed. Later, it is truncated.
Under "normal" circumstances, i.e., when the file is not mlock(2)ed, the
pages beyond the EOF are unmapped and freed. However, when the file is
mlock(2)ed, the pages beyond the EOF are unmapped but not freed because
they have a non-zero wire count. This can be a mistake. Specifically,
it is a mistake if the sole reason why the pages are wired is because of
wired, managed mappings. Previously, unmapping the pages destroys these
wired, managed mappings, but does not reduce the pages' wire count.
Consequently, when the file is unmapped, the pages are not unwired
because the wired mapping has been destroyed. Moreover, when the vm
object is finally destroyed, the pages are leaked because they are still
wired. The fix is to reduce the pages' wired count by the number of
wired, managed mappings destroyed. To do this, I introduce a new pmap
function pmap_page_wired_mappings() that returns the number of managed
mappings to the given physical page that are wired, and I use this
function in vm_object_page_remove().

amd64 mechanism over. Instead of page table hackery that isn't
actually needed, just use 'struct pcpu __pcpu[MAXCPU]' for backing like
all the other platforms do. Get rid of 'struct privatespace' and a
while mess of #ifdef SMP garbage that set it up. As a bonus, this
returns the 4MB of KVA that we stole to implement it the old way.
This also allows you to read the pcpu data for each cpu when reading a
minidump.
Background information: Originally, pcpu stuff was implemented as having
per-cpu page tables and magic to make different data structures appear
at the same actual address. In order to share page tables, we switched
to using the GDT and %fs/%gs to access it. But we still did the evil
magic to set it up for the old way. The "idle stacks" are not used
for the idle process anymore and are just used for a few functions during
bootup, then ignored. (excercise for reader: free these afterwards).

silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()

functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.
As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.
The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).
