- Reorder the events in exit(2) slightly so that we trigger the S_EXIT

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

and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried
in the future.
- Split struct ithd up into two pieces. struct intr_event holds the list
of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event. This
means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
no handlers. It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
intr_foo naming convention. This did require renaming the powerpc
MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
powerpc. This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
to the same interrupt. Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
either. Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
exclusively. The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
dumping their state. It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
braindead behavior. The code is present, though, it is just under
#if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more

high FP registers. It was not that the IPI got lost due to the
perceived unreliability of the IPI delivery, but rather that the
IPI was not assigned a vector (ugh). Sending a 0 vector to a CPU
results in a stray external interrupt.
Add a KASSERT to ipi_send() to catch this. The initialization of
the IPIs could be better, but it's not at all sure what the future
of the code is. Avoid wasting a lot of time on something that is
going to be rewritten anyway.
o Allocate a VHPT per CPU. The VHPT is a hash table that the CPU
uses to look up translations it can't find in the TLB. As such,
the VHPT serves as a level 1 cache (the TLB being a level 0 cache)
and best results are obtained when it's not shared between CPUs.
The collision chain (i.e. the hash bucket) is shared between CPUs,
as all buckets together constitute our collection of PTEs. To
achieve this, the collision chain does not point to the first PTE
in the list anymore, but to a hash bucket head structure. The
head structure contains the pointer to the first PTE in the list,
as well as a mutex to lock the bucket. Thus, each bucket is locked
independently of each other. With at least 1024 buckets in the VHPT,
this provides for sufficiently finei-grained locking to make the
ssolution scalable to large SMP machines.
o Add synchronisation to the lazy FP context switching. We do this
with a seperate per-thread lock. On SMP machines the lazy high FP
context switching without synchronisation caused inconsistent
state, which resulted in a panic. Since the use of the high FP
registers is not common, it's possible that races exist. The ia64
package build has proven to be a good stress test, so this will
get plenty of exercise in the near future.
o Don't use the local ID of the processor we want to send the IPI to
as the argument to ipi_send(). use the struct pcpu pointer instead.
The reason for this is that IPI delivery is unreliable. It has been
observed that sending an IPI to a CPU causes it to receive a stray
external interrupt. As such, we need a way to make the delivery
reliable. The intended solution is to queue requests in the target
CPU's per-CPU structure and use a single IPI to inform the CPU that
there's a new entry in the queue. If that IPI gets lost, the CPU
can check it's queue at any convenient time (such as for each
clock interrupt). This also allows us to send requests to a CPU
without interrupting it, if such would be beneficial.
With these changes SMP is almost working. There are still some random
process crashes and the machine can hang due to having the IPI lost
that deals with the high FP context switch.
The overhead of introducing the hash bucket head structure results
in a performance degradation of about 1% for UP (extra pointer
indirection). This is surprisingly small and is offset by gaining
reasonably/good scalable SMP support.
allocating a VHPT per CPU. Since we don't yet know how many CPUs

pointer doesn't point to the first instruction of that function, but
rather to a descriptor. The descriptor has the address of the first
instruction, as well as the value of the global pointer. The symbol
table doesn't know anything about descriptors, so if you lookup the
name of a function you get the address of the first instruction. The
cast from the address, which is the result of the symbol lookup, to a
function pointer as is done in db_fncall is therefore invalid.
Abstract this detail behind the DB_CALL macro. By default DB_CALL is
defined as db_fncall_generic, which yields the old behaviour. On ia64
the macro is defined as db_fncall_ia64, in which a descriptor is
constructed to yield a valid function pointer.
While here, introduce DB_MAXARGS. DB_MAXARGS replaces the existing

create a convenient maximum. By default this will be the legacy 10.

by amd64 and i386: For buffered writes we collect data and write it
out a ${DEV_BSIZE}-sized block at a time. The fragsz variable is used
to keep track of how much data we have collected in the buffer so far
and it's reset to zero immediately after writing a block to the dump
device.
When the last, possibly partially filled buffer is flushed, we didn't
reset fragsz to 0 and as such would stop reflecting reality. Since we
currently only need to do buffered writes once, this isn't a problem.
However, when kernel dumps are made by hand (say by callling doadump
from within DDB), the improperly cleared state from the first call to
dumpsys causes the next call to dumpsys to create an invalid code file.
This change resets fragsz after flushing the partially filled buffer so

immediate is not saved by the architecture. Any of the break.{mifx}
instructions have their immediate saved in cr.iim on interruption.
Consequently, when we handle the break interrupt, we end up with a
break value of 0 when it was a break.b. The immediate is important
because it distinguishes between different uses of the break and
which are defined by the runtime specification.
The bottomline is that when the GNU debugger replaces a B-unit
instruction with a break instruction in the inferior, we would not
send the process a SIGTRAP when we encounter it, because the value
is not one we recognize as a debugger breakpoint.
This change adds logic to decode the bundle in which the break
instruction lives whenever the break value is 0. The assumption
being that it's a break.b and we fetch the immediate directly out
of the instruction. If the break instruction was not a break.b,
but any of break.{mifx} with an immediate of 0, we would be doing
unnecessary work. But since a break 0 is invalid, this is not a
problem and it will still result in a SIGILL being sent to the

o Remove the clock interface. Not only does it conflict with the MI
version when device genclock is added to the kernel, it was also

3) This rewrite happened in 2005 so any date prior to 1/1/2005
(either M/D/Y or D/M/Y) is bogus. Reprogram the EFI clock with
1/1/2005 in that case.

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

on entry and it assumes the responsibility for releasing the page queues
lock if it must sleep.
Remove a bogus comment from pmap_enter_quick().
Using the first change, modify vm_map_pmap_enter() so that the page queues
lock is acquired and released once, rather than each time that a page
is mapped.
In such cases, the busying of the page and the unlocking of the
containing object by vm_map_pmap_enter() and vm_fault_prefault() is
unnecessary overhead. To eliminate this overhead, this change
modifies pmap_enter_quick() so that it expects the object to be locked
on entry and it assumes the responsibility for busying the page and
unlocking the object if it must sleep. Note: alpha, amd64, i386 and
ia64 are the only implementations optimized by this change; arm,
powerpc, and sparc64 still conservatively busy the page and unlock the
object within every pmap_enter_quick() call.
Additionally, this change is the first case where we synchronize
access to the page's PG_BUSY flag and busy field using the containing
object's lock rather than the global page queues lock. (Modifications
to the page's PG_BUSY flag and busy field have asserted both locks for
several weeks, enabling an incremental transition.)

stale PTE in the TLB that marked the page as not present, even though
we had a good PTE in the VHPT. We typically don't yet insert PTEs in
the TLB. We do that lazily. The CPU will look for the PTE in the VHPT
when there's no PTE in the TLB. Unfortunately this doesn't handle the
case of the stale PTE in the TLB. The quick fix is to invalidate the
TLB (sloppily) when the VHPT doesn't contain a valid PTE. This is also
the only case that may cause a PTE in the TLB that marks a page as
non-present.
specified register, but a pointer to the in-memory representation of
that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.
This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P
packet as a hexadecimal number instead of as a bit array. The quick
(and dirty) fix to bswap the register value in gdb_cpu_setreg() as
it has been added on i386 and amd64 can therefore be removed and has
in fact been that.

these two reasons:
1. On ia64 a function pointer does not hold the address of the first
instruction of a functions implementation. It holds the address
of a function descriptor. Hence the user(), btrap(), eintr() and
bintr() prototypes are wrong for getting the actual code address.
2. The logic forces interrupt, trap and exception entry points to
be layed-out contiguously. This can not be achieved on ia64 and is
generally just bad programming.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_USER macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address which represents any frompc that falls outside
the kernel text range. The macro can expand to ~0U to bail out in

The MCOUNT_FROMPC_INTR macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address to represent a call to a trap or interrupt
handler. This to avoid that the trap or interrupt handler appear to
be called from everywhere in the call graph. The macro can expand
to ~0U to prevent adjusting frompc. Note that the argument is selfpc,
not frompc.
