intr_bind() on x86.
This has been requested by jhb and I strongly disagree with this,
but as long as he is the x86 and interrupt subsystem maintainer I will
follow his directives.
The disagreement cames from what we should really consider as a
public KPI. IMHO, if we really need a selection between the kernel
functions, we may need an explicit protection like _KERNEL_KPI, which
defines which subset of the kernel function might really be considered
as part of the KPI (for thirdy part modules) and which not.
As long as we don't have this mechanism I just consider any possible
function as usable by thirdy part code, thus intr_bind() included.

- Don't malloc() new MCA records for machine checks logged due to a
CMCI or MC# exception. Instead, use a pre-allocated pool of records.
When a CMCI or MC# exception fires, schedule a swi to refill the pool.
The pool is sized to hold at least one record per available machine
bank, and one record per CPU. This should handle the case of all CPUs
triggering a single bank at once as well as the case a single CPU
triggering all of its banks. The periodic scans still use malloc()
since they are run from a safe context.
- Since we have to create an swi to handle refills, make the periodic scan
a second swi for the same thread instead of having a separate taskqueue

bridges. Rather than blindly enabling the windows on all of them, only
enable the window when an MSI interrupt is enabled for a device behind
the bridge, similar to what already happens for HT PCI-PCI bridges.
To implement this, each x86 Host-PCI bridge driver has to be able to
locate it's actual backing device on bus 0. For ACPI, use the _ADR
method to find the slot and function of the device. For the non-ACPI
case, the legacy(4) driver already scans bus 0 looking for Host-PCI
bridge devices. Now it saves the slot and function of each bridge that
it finds as ivars that the Host-PCI bridge driver can then use in its
pcib_map_msi() method.
This fixes machines where non-MSI interrupts were broken by the previous

If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.
That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.
Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

driver would verify that requests for child devices were confined to any
existing I/O windows, but the driver relied on the firmware to initialize
the windows and would never grow the windows for new requests. Now the
driver actively manages the I/O windows.
This is implemented by allocating a bus resource for each I/O window from
the parent PCI bus and suballocating that resource to child devices. The
suballocations are managed by creating an rman for each I/O window. The
suballocated resources are mapped by passing the bus_activate_resource()
call up to the parent PCI bus. Windows are grown when needed by using
bus_adjust_resource() to adjust the resource allocated from the parent PCI
bus. If the adjust request succeeds, the window is adjusted and the
suballocation request for the child device is retried.
When growing a window, the rman_first_free_region() and
rman_last_free_region() routines are used to determine if the front or
end of the existing I/O window is free. From using that, the smallest
ranges that need to be added to either the front or back of the window
are computed. The driver will first try to grow the window in whichever
direction requires the smallest growth first followed by the other
direction if that fails.
Subtractive bridges will first attempt to satisfy requests for child
resources from I/O windows (including attempts to grow the windows). If
that fails, the request is passed up to the parent PCI bus directly
however.
The PCI-PCI bridge driver will try to use firmware-assigned ranges for
child BARs first and only allocate a "fresh" range if that specific range
cannot be accommodated in the I/O window. This allows systems where the
firmware assigns resources during boot but later wipes the I/O windows
(some ACPI BIOSen are known to do this) to "rediscover" the original I/O
window ranges.
The ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver has been adjusted to correctly honor
hw.acpi.host_mem_start and the I/O port equivalent when a PCI-PCI bridge
makes a wildcard request for an I/O window range.
The new PCI-PCI bridge driver is only enabled if the NEW_PCIB kernel option
is enabled. This is a transition aide to allow platforms that do not
yet support bus_activate_resource() and bus_adjust_resource() in their
Host-PCI bridge drivers (and possibly other drivers as needed) to use the
old driver for now. Once all platforms support the new driver, the
kernel option and old driver will be removed.

Suggested by: bde
Unluckily, using one-shot mode is impossible, when same hardware used for
time counting. Introduce new tunable hint.attimer.0.timecounter, setting
which to 0 disables i8254 time counter and allows one-shot mode. Note,
that on some systems there may be no other reliable enough time counters,
so this tunable should be used with understanding.
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.

"uncore" devices (such as the memory controller) in that socket. Stop
hardcoding support for two busses, but instead start probing buses at
domain 0, bus 255 and walk down until a bus probe fails. Also, do not probe
a bus if it has already been enumerated elsewhere (e.g. if ACPI ever
enumerates these buses in the future).
provide PCI devices for various hardware such as memory controllers, etc.
These PCI buses are not enumerated via ACPI however. Add qpi(4) psuedo
bus and Host-PCI bridge drivers to enumerate these buses. Currently the
driver uses the CPU ID to determine the bridges' presence.

clock management code to honor these hardware limitations while choosing hz,
stathz and profhz values.
HPET to steal IRQ0 from i8254 and IRQ8 from RTC timers. It can be suitable
for HPETs without FSB interrupts support, as it gives them two unshared
IRQs. It allows them to provide one per-CPU event timer on dual-CPU system,
that should be suitable for further tickless kernels.
To enable it, such lines may be added to /boot/loader.conf:
hint.atrtc.0.clock=0
hint.attimer.0.clock=0
hint.hpet.0.legacy_route=1
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.
core lower then set on other cores. Do not try to test P-states on attach
on SMP systems. It is hopeless now and will just pollute verbose logs.
If needed, check still can be forced via loader tunable.
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.

Same code with minor variations duplicated several times over the tree for
different timer drivers and architectures.
- Switch all x86 archs to new functions, simplifying the code and removing
extra logic from timer drivers. Other archs are also welcome.

Now if you want more correct stats on profhz and stathz it may be
disabled by setting to 0.

correctly initialized and just then assign to softclock/profclock.
Right now, some atrtc seems reporting strange diagnostic error* making the
current pattern bogus.
In order to do that cleanly, lapic_setup_clock(), on both ia32 and amd64,
now accepts as arguments the desired sources to handle, and returns the
actual ones (LAPIC_CLOCK_NONE is forbidden because otherwise there is no
meaning in calling such function).
This allows to bring out into commont x86 code the handling part for
machdep.lapic_allclocks tunable, which is retained.

shared and generalized between our current amd64, i386 and pc98.
This is just an initial step that should lead to a more complete effort.
For the moment, a very simple porting of cpufreq modules, BIOS calls and
the whole MD specific ISA bus part is added to the sub-tree but ideally
a lot of code might be added and more shared support should grow.
