- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned

filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices

Problem:
selwakeup required calling pfind which would cause lock order
reversals with the allproc_lock and the per-process filedesc lock.
Solution:
Instead of recording the pid of the select()'ing process into the
selinfo structure, actually record a pointer to the thread. To
avoid dereferencing a bad address all the selinfo structures that
are in use by a thread are kept in a list hung off the thread
(protected by sellock). When a selwakeup occurs the selinfo is
removed from that threads list, it is also removed on the way out
of select or poll where the thread will traverse its list removing
all the selinfos from its own list.
Problem:
Previously the PROC_LOCK was used to provide the mutual exclusion
needed to ensure proper locking, this couldn't work because there
was a single condvar used for select and poll and condvars can
only be used with a single mutex.
Solution:
Introduce a global mutex 'sellock' which is used to provide mutual
exclusion when recording events to wait on as well as performing
notification when an event occurs.
Interesting note:
schedlock is required to manipulate the per-thread TDF_SELECT
flag, however if given its own field it would not need schedlock,
also because TDF_SELECT is only manipulated under sellock one

enabled in critical sections and streamline critical_enter() and
critical_exit().
This commit allows an architecture to leave interrupts enabled inside
critical sections if it so wishes. Architectures that do not wish to do
this are not effected by this change.
This commit implements the feature for the I386 architecture and provides
a sysctl, debug.critical_mode, which defaults to 1 (use the feature). For
now you can turn the sysctl on and off at any time in order to test the
architectural changes or track down bugs.
This commit is just the first stage. Some areas of the code, specifically
the MACHINE_CRITICAL_ENTER #ifdef'd code, is strictly temporary and will
be cleaned up in the STAGE-2 commit when the critical_*() functions are
moved entirely into MD files.
The following changes have been made:
* critical_enter() and critical_exit() for I386 now simply increment
and decrement curthread->td_critnest. They no longer disable
hard interrupts. When critical_exit() decrements the counter to
0 it effectively calls a routine to deal with whatever interrupts
were deferred during the time the code was operating in a critical
section.
Other architectures are unaffected.
* fork_exit() has been conditionalized to remove MD assumptions for
the new code. Old code will still use the old MD assumptions
in regards to hard interrupt disablement. In STAGE-2 this will
be turned into a subroutine call into MD code rather then hardcoded
in MI code.
The new code places the burden of entering the critical section
in the trampoline code where it belongs.
* I386: interrupts are now enabled while we are in a critical section.
The interrupt vector code has been adjusted to deal with the fact.
If it detects that we are in a critical section it currently defers
the interrupt by adding the appropriate bit to an interrupt mask.
* In order to accomplish the deferral, icu_lock is required. This
is i386-specific. Thus icu_lock can only be obtained by mainline
i386 code while interrupts are hard disabled. This change has been
made.
* Because interrupts may or may not be hard disabled during a
context switch, cpu_switch() can no longer simply assume that
PSL_I will be in a consistent state. Therefore, it now saves and
restores eflags.
* FAST INTERRUPT PROVISION. Fast interrupts are currently deferred.
The intention is to eventually allow them to operate either while
we are in a critical section or, if we are able to restrict the
use of sched_lock, while we are not holding the sched_lock.
* ICU and APIC vector assembly for I386 cleaned up. The ICU code
has been cleaned up to match the APIC code in regards to format
and macro availability. Additionally, the code has been adjusted
to deal with deferred interrupts.
* Deferred interrupts use a per-cpu boolean int_pending, and
masks ipending, spending, and fpending. Being per-cpu variables
it is not currently necessary to lock; bus cycles modifying them.
Note that the same mechanism will enable preemption to be
incorporated as a true software interrupt without having to
further hack up the critical nesting code.
* Note: the old critical_enter() code in kern/kern_switch.c is
currently #ifdef to be compatible with both the old and new
methodology. In STAGE-2 it will be moved entirely to MD code.
Performance issues:
One of the purposes of this commit is to enhance critical section
performance, specifically to greatly reduce bus overhead to allow
the critical section code to be used to protect per-cpu caches.
These caches, such as Jeff's slab allocator work, can potentially
operate very quickly making the effective savings of the new
critical section code's performance very significant.
The second purpose of this commit is to allow architectures to
enable certain interrupts while in a critical section. Specifically,
the intention is to eventually allow certain FAST interrupts to
operate rather then defer.
The third purpose of this commit is to begin to clean up the
critical_enter()/critical_exit()/cpu_critical_enter()/
cpu_critical_exit() API which currently has serious cross pollution
in MI code (in fork_exit() and ast() for example).
The fourth purpose of this commit is to provide a framework that
allows kernel-preempting software interrupts to be implemented
cleanly. This is currently used for two forward interrupts in I386.
Other architectures will have the choice of using this infrastructure
or building the functionality directly into critical_enter()/
critical_exit().
Finally, this commit is designed to greatly improve the flexibility
of various architectures to manage critical section handling,
software interrupts, preemption, and other highly integrated
architecture-specific details.

otherwise breaks on the Alpha arch. I think this is wrong since i'd
actually like to probe for a PC architecture, not for a particular CPU

. The main device node now supports automatic density selection for
commonly used media densities. So you can stuff your 1.44 MB and
720 KB media into your drive and just access /dev/fd0, no questions
asked. It's all that easy, isn't it? :)
. Device density handling has been completely overhauled. The old way
of hardwired kernel density knowledge is no longer there. Instead,
the kernel now implements 16 subdevices per drive. The first
subdevice uses automatic density selection, while the remaining 15
devices are freely programmable. They can be assigned an arbitrary
name of the form /dev/fd[:digit]+.[:digit:]{1,4}, where the second
number is meant to either implement device names that are mnemonic
for their raw capacity (as it used to be), or they can alternatively
be created as "anonymous" devices like fd0.1 through fd0.15,
depending on the taste of the administrator. After creating a
subdevice, it is initialized to the maximal native density of the
respective drive type, so it needs to be customized for other
densities by using fdcontrol(8). Pseudo-partition devices (fd0a
through fd0h) are still supported as symlinks.
. The old hack to use flags 0x1 to always assume drive 0 were there is
no longer supported; this is now supposed to be done by wiring the
devices down from the loader via device flags. On IA32
architectures, the first two drives are looked up in the CMOS
configuration records though. On PCMCIA (i. e., the Y-E Data
controller of the Toshiba Libretto), a single drive is always
assumed.
. Other specialities like disabling the FIFO and not probing the drive
at boot-time are selected by per-controller or per-drive flags, too.
. Unit attentions (media has been changed) are supposed to be detected
now; density autoselection only occurs after a unit attention. (Can
be turned off by a per-drive flag, this will cause each Fdopen() to
perform the autoselection.)
. FM floppies can be handled now (on controllers that actually support
it -- not all do these days).
. Fdopen() can be told to avoid density selection by setting
O_NONBLOCK; this leaves the descriptor in a half-opened state where
only a few ioctls are accepted. This is necessary to run fdformat
on a device that uses automatic density selection (since you cannot
autoselect on an unformatted medium, obviously).
. Just differentiate between a plain old NE765 and the enhanced chips,
but don't try more; the existing code was wrong and only misdetected
the chips anyway.
BUGS and TODOs:
. All documentation update still needs to be done.
. Formatting not-so-standard format yields unpredictable results; i
have yet to figure out why this happens. "Standard" formats like
720 and 1440 KB do work, however.
. rc scripts are needed to setup device nodes with nonstandard
densities (like the old /dev/fdN.MMM we used to have).
. Obtaining device flags from the kernel environment doesn't work yet,
thus currently only drives that are present in (IA32) CMOS are
really detected. Someone who knows the odds and ends about device
flags is needed here, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
. 2.88 MB still needs to be done.

. Fix the copyright of the Regents i accidentally broke in rev 1.197
(although only a very small part of the original driver survived
at all...).
. Bump MAX_CYLINDER since some obscure formats really use more than 80
cylinders.
. Correctly handle BIO_FORMAT which used to be a bitmask but is now a BIO
command of its own.
. Numerous stylistic fixes.
