The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

writing event timer drivers, for choosing best possible drivers by machine
independent code and for operating them to supply kernel with hardclock(),
statclock() and profclock() events in unified fashion on various hardware.
Infrastructure provides support for both per-CPU (independent for every CPU
core) and global timers in periodic and one-shot modes. MI management code
at this moment uses only periodic mode, but one-shot mode use planned for
later, as part of tickless kernel project.
For this moment infrastructure used on i386 and amd64 architectures. Other
archs are welcome to follow, while their current operation should not be
affected.
This patch updates existing drivers (i8254, RTC and LAPIC) for the new
order, and adds event timers support into the HPET driver. These drivers
have different capabilities:
LAPIC - per-CPU timer, supports periodic and one-shot operation, may
freeze in C3 state, calibrated on first use, so may be not exactly precise.
HPET - depending on hardware can work as per-CPU or global, supports
periodic and one-shot operation, usually provides several event timers.
i8254 - global, limited to periodic mode, because same hardware used also
as time counter.
RTC - global, supports only periodic mode, set of frequencies in Hz
limited by powers of 2.
Depending on hardware capabilities, drivers preferred in following orders,
either LAPIC, HPETs, i8254, RTC or HPETs, LAPIC, i8254, RTC.
User may explicitly specify wanted timers via loader tunables or sysctls:
kern.eventtimer.timer1 and kern.eventtimer.timer2.
If requested driver is unavailable or unoperational, system will try to
replace it. If no more timers available or "NONE" specified for second,
system will operate using only one timer, multiplying it's frequency by few
times and uing respective dividers to honor hz, stathz and profhz values,
set during initial setup.
APIC interrupt that fires when a threshold of corrected machine check
events is reached. CMCI also includes a count of events when reporting
corrected errors in the bank's status register. Note that individual
banks may or may not support CMCI. If they do, each bank includes its own
threshold register that determines when the interrupt fires. Currently
the code uses a very simple strategy where it doubles the threshold on
each interrupt until it succeeds in throttling the interrupt to occur
only once a minute (this interval can be tuned via sysctl). The threshold
is also adjusted on each hourly poll which will lower the threshold once
events stop occurring.

I'm experimenting locally with xen APIC emulation a bit and this
makes it easier to migrate APIC entries between being bitmapped and
not being bitmapped.
This attempts to fix the IPI handling code to correctly differentiate
between bitmapped IPIs and function IPIs. The Xen IPIs were on low numbers
which clashed with the bitmapped IPIs.
This commit bumps those IPI numbers up to 240 and above (just like in the i386
code) and fiddles with the ipi_vectors[] logic to call the correct function.
This still isn't "right". Specifically, the IPI code may work fine for TLB
shootdown events but the rendezvous/lazypmap IPIs are thrown by calling ipi_*()
routines which don't set the call_func stuff (function id, addr1, addr2) that
the TLB shootdown events are. So the Xen SMP support is still broken.

- Split the intr_table_lock into an sx lock used for most things, and a
spin lock to protect intrcnt_index. Originally I had this as a spin lock
so interrupt code could use it to lookup sources. However, we don't
actually do that because it would add a lot of overhead to interrupts,
and if we ever do support removing interrupt sources, we can use other
means to safely do so w/o locking in the interrupt handling code.
- Replace is_enabled (boolean) with is_handlers (a count of handlers) to
determine if a source is enabled or not. This allows us to notice when
a source is no longer in use. When that happens, we now invoke a new
PIC method (pic_disable_intr()) to inform the PIC driver that the
source is no longer in use. The I/O APIC driver frees the APIC IDT
vector when this happens. The MSI driver no longer needs to have a
hack to clear is_enabled during msi_alloc() and msix_alloc() as a result
of this change as well.

complement apic_enable_vector() and use it in the I/O APIC and MSI code

- Add a new nexus hook: nexus_add_irq() to ask the nexus driver to add an
IRQ to its irq_rman. The MSI code uses this when it creates new

Previously the msi_alloc() and msix_alloc() passed some extra stuff
back to the nexus methods which then added the IRQs. This approach is
a bit cleaner.

- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat
ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently
using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other
"hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with
local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear
if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from
somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical
clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on
certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical
cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway.
- We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via
the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC
driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be
shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the
same way that I/O APIC pins are.
- Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an
interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID.
- The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to
handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing,
it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we
wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0
for now).
- For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first
interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now
bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs.
- Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would
be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we
could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts,
or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs.
The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks
had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work
fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.

source is first enabled similar to how intr_event's now allocate ithreads

only have 191 available IDT vectors for I/O interrupts, this limited us
to only supporting IRQs 0-190 corresponding to the first 190 I/O APIC
intpins. On many machines, however, each PCI-X bus has its own APIC even
though it only has 1 or 2 devices, thus, we were reserving between 24 and
32 IRQs just for 1 or 2 devices and thus 24 or 32 IDT vectors. With this
change, a machine with 100 IRQs but only 5 in use will only use up 5 IDT
vectors. Also, this change provides an API (apic_alloc_vector() and
apic_free_vector()) that will allow a future MSI interrupt source driver to
request IDT vectors for use by MSI interrupts on x86 machines.

rather than forwarding interrupts from the clock devices around using IPIs:
- Add an IDT vector that pushes a clock frame and calls
lapic_handle_timer().
- Add functions to program the local APIC timer including setting the
divisor, and setting up the timer to either down a periodic countdown
or one-shot countdown.
- Add a lapic_setup_clock() function that the BSP calls from
cpu_init_clocks() to setup the local APIC timer if it is going to be
used. The setup uses a one-shot countdown to calibrate the timer. We
then program the timer on each CPU to fire at a frequency of hz * 3.
stathz is defined as freq / 23 (hz * 3 / 23), and profhz is defined as
freq / 2 (hz * 3 / 2). This gives the clocks relatively prime divisors
while keeping a low LCM for the frequency of the clock interrupts.
Thanks to Peter Jeremy for suggesting this approach.
- Remove the hardclock and statclock forwarding code including the two
associated IPIs. The bitmap IPI handler has now effectively degenerated
to just IPI_AST.
- When the local APIC timer is used we don't turn the RTC on at all, but
we still enable interrupts on the ISA timer 0 (i8254) for timecounting

Currently this is only used to initiailize the TPR to 0 during initial
setup.
- Reallocate vectors for the local APIC timer, error, and thermal LVT
entries. The timer entry is allocated from the top of the I/O interrupt
range reducing the number of vectors available for hardware interrupts
to 191. Linux happens to use the same exact vector for its timer
interrupt as well. If the timer vector shared the same priority queue
as the IPI handlers, then the frequency that the timer vector will
eventually be firing at can interact badly with the IPIs resulting in
the queue filling and the dreaded IPI stuck panics, hence it being located
at the top of the previous priority queue instead.

- Only use mixed mode to route IRQ 0 if it is both enabled by the APIC

- Rework the MADT's handling of the ACPI SCI again:
- If no override entry for the SCI exists at all, use level/low trigger
instead of the default edge/high used for ISA IRQs.
- For the ACPI SCI, use level/low values for conforming trigger and
polarity rather than the edge/high values we use for all other ISA
IRQs.
- Rework the tunables available to override the MADT. The
hw.acpi.force_sci_lo tunable is no longer supported. Instead, there
are now two tunables that can independently override the trigger mode
and/or polarity of the SCI. The hw.acpi.sci.trigger tunable can be
set to either "edge" or "level", and the hw.acpi.sci.polarity tunable
can be set to either "high" or "low". To simulate hw.acpi.force_sci_lo,
set hw.acpi.sci.trigger to "level" and hw.acpi.sci.polarity to "low".
If you are having problems with ACPI either causing an interrupt storm
or not working at all (e.g., the power button doesn't turn invoke a
shutdown -p now), you can try tweaking these two tunables to find the
