as it could be and can do with some more cleanup. Currently its under
options LAZY_SWITCH. What this does is avoid %cr3 reloads for short
context switches that do not involve another user process. ie: we can
take an interrupt, switch to a kthread and return to the user without
explicitly flushing the tlb. However, this isn't as exciting as it could
be, the interrupt overhead is still high and too much blocks on Giant
still. There are some debug sysctls, for stats and for an on/off switch.
The main problem with doing this has been "what if the process that you're
running on exits while we're borrowing its address space?" - in this case
we use an IPI to give it a kick when we're about to reclaim the pmap.
Its not compiled in unless you add the LAZY_SWITCH option. I want to fix a
few more things and get some more feedback before turning it on by default.
This is NOT a replacement for Bosko's lazy interrupt stuff. This was more

One non-trivial change was to select a new thread before calling
cpu_switch() in the first place. This allows us to catch the silly
case of doing a cpu_switch() to the current process. This happens
uncomfortably often. This simplifies a bit of the asm code in cpu_switch
(no longer have to call choosethread() in the middle). This has been
implemented on i386 and (thanks to jake) sparc64. The others will come

Use a single makefile (sys/conf/makeLINT.mk) to generate

- Added nooptions PPC_DEBUG, PPC_PROBE_CHIPSET, KBD_INSTALL_CDEV

This basically returns us to where we were before.
- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
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
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.

This is intended to aid in converting drivers to busdma. Lots of
hardware cannot understand scatter/gather lists, which forces the
driver to copy the i/o buffers to a single contiguous region
before sending it to the hardware. Without these new methods, this
would require a new busdma tag for each operation, or a complex

data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.
A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.
Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.
Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.
KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.
When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.

useful for accessing more than 1 page of contiguous physical memory, and
to use 4mb tlb entries instead of 8k. This requires that the system only
use the direct mapped addresses when they have the same virtual colour as
all other mappings of the same page, instead of being able to choose the
colour and cachability of the mapping.
- Adapt the physical page copying and zeroing functions to account for not
being able to choose the colour or cachability of the direct mapped
address. This adds a lot more cases to handle. Basically when a page has
a different colour than its direct mapped address we have a choice between
bypassing the data cache and using physical addresses directly, which
requires a cache flush, or mapping it at the right colour, which requires
a tlb flush. For now we choose to map the page and do the tlb flush.
This will allows the direct mapped addresses to be used for more things
that don't require normal pmap handling, including mapping the vm_page
structures, the message buffer, temporary mappings for crash dumps, and will
provide greater benefit for implementing uma_small_alloc, due to the much
greater tlb coverage.
- Put the kernel tsb before before the kernel load address, below
VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS, instead of after the kernel where it consumes
usable kva. This is magic mapped so the virtual address is irrelevant,
it just needs to be out of the way.
a mapping belongs to by setting it in the vm_page_t structure that backs
the tsb page that the tte for a mapping is in. This allows the pmap that
a mapping belongs to to be found without keeping a pointer to it in the
tte itself.
- Remove the pmap pointer from struct tte and use the space to make the
tte pv lists doubly linked (TAILQs), like on other architectures. This
makes entering or removing a mapping O(1) instead of O(n) where n is the
number of pmaps a page is mapped by (including kernel_pmap).
- Use atomic ops for setting and clearing bits in the ttes, now that they
return the old value and can be easily used for this purpose.
- Use __builtin_memset for zeroing ttes instead of bzero, so that gcc will
inline it (4 inline stores using %g0 instead of a function call).
- Initially set the virtual colour for all the vm_page_ts to be equal to their
physical colour. This will be more useful once uma_small_alloc is
implemented, but basically pages with virtual colour equal to phsyical
colour are easier to handle at the pmap level because they can be safely
accessed through cachable direct virtual to physical mappings with that
colour, without fear of causing illegal dcache aliases.

properly on SPARCengine Ultra AX machines.
Switch to a table-driven logic to recognize the ID's, since their number
is now large enough to justify this.
These changes are analogous to those made in NetBSD r.1.35, but
implemented a bit differently.
NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.

doesn't give them enough stack to do much before blowing away the pcb.
This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create. Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created. Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.

sparc v9 ABI. The Elf_Rela records for local symbols appear to already
have the symbol's value added in to the addend field, even though the ABI
specifies we need to lookup the symbol and add its value too. This breaks
text relocations in klds because the symbol's value is added twice, and
the resulting address points off into nowhere land, so for now just use
the addend.
