in npxsetregs() too. npxsetregs() must overwrite the previous state, and
it is never paired with an npxgetregs() that would defuse the previous
state (since npxgetregs() would have fninit'ed the state, leaving nothing
to do).

unnecessary because cpu_setregs() and/or npxinit() always sets CR0_TS
during system initialization, and CR0_TS is set in the next statement
(fpstate_drop()) if necessary after system initialization. Setting
it unnecessarily was less than a pessimization since it broke the
invariant that the npx can be used without an npxdna() trap if
fpucurthread is non-null. The broken invariant became harmful when I
added an fnclex to npxdrop().
Removed setting of CR0_MP in exec_setregs(). This was similarly
unnecessary but was harmless.
Updated comments (mainly by removing them). Things are simpler now
that we have cpu_setregs() and don't support a math emulator or pretend
to support not having either a math emulator or an npx.
Removed the ifdef for avoiding setting CR0_NE in the !SMP case in
cpu_setregs(). npx_probe() should reverse the setting if it wants to
force IRQ13 exception handling for testing.
frstor can trap despite it being a control instruction, since it bogusly
checks for pending exceptions in the state that it is overwriting.
This used to be a non-problem because frstor was always paired with a
previous fnsave, and fnsave does an implicit fninit so any pending
exceptions only remain live in the saved state. Now frstor is sometimes
paired with npxdrop() and we must do a little more than just forget
that the npx was used in npxdrop() to avoid a trap later. This is a
non-problem in the FXSR case because fxrstor doesn't do the bogus check.
FXSR is part of SSE, and npxdrop() is only in FreeBSD-5.x, so this bug
only affected old machines running FreeBSD-5.x.

o Mask the lower 8 bits, not the lower 4 bits for the ai_capabilities word.
All 8 bits are defined and the 0xf was almost certainly a typo.
o Define APM_UNKNOWN to 0xff for emulation layer.
Otherwise, the setting of the PG_M bit by one processor could be lost if
another processor is simultaneously changing the PG_W bit.

present and thus that the PnPBIOS probe should be skipped instead of
having ACPI zero out the PnPBIOStable pointer.
- Make the PnPBIOStable pointer static to i386/i386/bios.c now that that is
the only place it is used.
Dividing by 0 in order to check for irq13/exception16 delivery apparently
always causes an irq13 even if we have configured for exception16 (by
setting CR0_NE). This was expected, but the timing of the irq13 was
unexpected. Without CR0_NE, the irq13 is delivered synchronously at
least on my test machine, but with CR0_NE it is delivered a little
later (about 250 nsec) in PIC mode and much later (5000-10000 nsec)
in APIC mode. So especially in APIC mode, the irq13 may arrive after
it is supposed to be shut down. It should then be masked, but the
shutdown is incomplete, so the irq goes to a null handler that just
reports it as stray. The fix is to wait a bit after dividing by 0 to
give a good chance of the irq13 being handled by its proper handler.
Removed the hack that was supposed to recover from the incomplete shutdown
of irq13. The shutdown is now even more incomplete, or perhaps just
incomplete in a different way, but the hack now has no effect because
irq13 is edge triggered and handling of edge triggered interrupts is
now optimized by skipping their masking. The hack only worked due
to it accidentally not losing races.
The incomplete shutdown of irq13 still allows unprivileged users to
generate a stray irq13 (except on systems where irq13 is actually used)
by unmasking an npx exception and causing one. The exception gets
handled properly by the exception 16 handler. A spurious irq13 is
delivered asynchronously but is harmless (as in the probe) because it
is almost perfectly not handled by the null interrupt handler.
Perfectly not handling it involves mainly not resetting the npx busy
latch. This prevents further irq13's despite them not being masked in
the [A]PIC.

mbuma is an Mbuf & Cluster allocator built on top of a number of
extensions to the UMA framework, all included herein.
Extensions to UMA worth noting:
- Better layering between slab <-> zone caches; introduce
Keg structure which splits off slab cache away from the
zone structure and allows multiple zones to be stacked
on top of a single Keg (single type of slab cache);
perhaps we should look into defining a subset API on
top of the Keg for special use by malloc(9),
for example.
- UMA_ZONE_REFCNT zones can now be added, and reference
counters automagically allocated for them within the end
of the associated slab structures. uma_find_refcnt()
does a kextract to fetch the slab struct reference from
the underlying page, and lookup the corresponding refcnt.
mbuma things worth noting:
- integrates mbuf & cluster allocations with extended UMA
and provides caches for commonly-allocated items; defines
several zones (two primary, one secondary) and two kegs.
- change up certain code paths that always used to do:
m_get() + m_clget() to instead just use m_getcl() and
try to take advantage of the newly defined secondary
Packet zone.
- netstat(1) and systat(1) quickly hacked up to do basic
stat reporting but additional stats work needs to be
done once some other details within UMA have been taken
care of and it becomes clearer to how stats will work
within the modified framework.
From the user perspective, one implication is that the
NMBCLUSTERS compile-time option is no longer used. The
maximum number of clusters is still capped off according
to maxusers, but it can be made unlimited by setting
the kern.ipc.nmbclusters boot-time tunable to zero.
Work should be done to write an appropriate sysctl
handler allowing dynamic tuning of kern.ipc.nmbclusters
at runtime.
Additional things worth noting/known issues (READ):
- One report of 'ips' (ServeRAID) driver acting really
slow in conjunction with mbuma. Need more data.
Latest report is that ips is equally sucking with
and without mbuma.
- Giant leak in NFS code sometimes occurs, can't
reproduce but currently analyzing; brueffer is
able to reproduce but THIS IS NOT an mbuma-specific
problem and currently occurs even WITHOUT mbuma.
- Issues in network locking: there is at least one
code path in the rip code where one or more locks
are acquired and we end up in m_prepend() with
M_WAITOK, which causes WITNESS to whine from within
UMA. Current temporary solution: force all UMA
allocations to be M_NOWAIT from within UMA for now
to avoid deadlocks unless WITNESS is defined and we
can determine with certainty that we're not holding
any locks when we're M_WAITOK.
- I've seen at least one weird socketbuffer empty-but-
mbuf-still-attached panic. I don't believe this
to be related to mbuma but please keep your eyes
open, turn on debugging, and capture crash dumps.
This change removes more code than it adds.
A paper is available detailing the change and considering
various performance issues, it was presented at BSDCan2004:
