to just deal with speakers.
The new (optional) MD functions are:
timer_spkr_acquire()
timer_spkr_release()

timer_spkr_setfreq()

frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.
Drop entirely timer2 on pc98, it is not used anywhere at all.
Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if
they exist, and do nothing otherwise.
Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()
functions from the non-beeping archs.
This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.
Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.
In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from

Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.

Rework of this area is a pre-requirement for importing e500 support (and

a pointer to struct bus_space. The structure contains function
pointers that do the actual bus space access.
The reason for this change is that previously all bus space
accesses were little endian (i.e. had an explicit byte-swap
for multi-byte accesses), because all busses on Macs are little
endian.
The upcoming support for Book E, and in particular the E500
core, requires support for big-endian busses because all
embedded peripherals are in the native byte-order.
With this change, there's no distinction between I/O port
space and memory mapped I/O. PowerPC doesn't have I/O port
space. Busses assign tags based on the byte-order only.
For that purpose, two global structures exist (bs_be_tag and
bs_le_tag), of which the address can be taken to get a valid
tag.

First, a file is mmap(2)ed and then mlock(2)ed. Later, it is truncated.
Under "normal" circumstances, i.e., when the file is not mlock(2)ed, the
pages beyond the EOF are unmapped and freed. However, when the file is
mlock(2)ed, the pages beyond the EOF are unmapped but not freed because
they have a non-zero wire count. This can be a mistake. Specifically,
it is a mistake if the sole reason why the pages are wired is because of
wired, managed mappings. Previously, unmapping the pages destroys these
wired, managed mappings, but does not reduce the pages' wire count.
Consequently, when the file is unmapped, the pages are not unwired
because the wired mapping has been destroyed. Moreover, when the vm
object is finally destroyed, the pages are leaked because they are still
wired. The fix is to reduce the pages' wired count by the number of
wired, managed mappings destroyed. To do this, I introduce a new pmap
function pmap_page_wired_mappings() that returns the number of managed
mappings to the given physical page that are wired, and I use this
function in vm_object_page_remove().

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring 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.

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

In such cases, the busying of the page and the unlocking of the

Additionally, this change is the first case where we synchronize

dependent function by the same name and a machine-independent function,
sf_buf_mext(). Aside from the virtue of making more of the code machine-
independent, this change also makes the interface more logical. Before,
sf_buf_free() did more than simply undo an sf_buf_alloc(); it also
unwired and if necessary freed the page. That is now the purpose of
sf_buf_mext(). Thus, sf_buf_alloc() and sf_buf_free() can now be used
as a general-purpose emphemeral map cache.
ever since alpha/alpha/pmap.c revision 1.81 introduced the list allpmaps,
there has been no reason for having this function on Alpha. Briefly,
when pmap_growkernel() relied upon the list of all processes to find and
update the various pmaps to reflect a growth in the kernel's valid
address space, pmap_init2() served to avoid a race between pmap
initialization and pmap_growkernel(). Specifically, pmap_pinit2() was
responsible for initializing the kernel portions of the pmap and
pmap_pinit2() was called after the process structure contained a pointer
to the new pmap for use by pmap_growkernel(). Thus, an update to the
kernel's address space might be applied to the new pmap unnecessarily,
but an update would never be lost.
for user copyinout down to 12, and keeping segments 13/14 for
kernel VA.
It would be nice to have more available, but segments lower than
this are reserved for either memory or 1:1 mapped device i/o,
and seg 15 is OpenFirmware ROM. Also, the effort to keep OpenFirmware
available for callbacks limits the use of VA-mapped segments.
Fortunately UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC takes away a lot of VM pressure.

using the direct-mapping of physmem to force PTE data structures
to be physically addressable so the interrupt-time real-mode
DSI trap handler could perform PTE spills. However, the memory
may have been > 256Mb, which would have caused a BAT spill and
double-interrupt.
The new trap code no longer handles PTE spills, so the requirement
that these pages be direct-mapped no longer applies. The irony is
UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC will return direct mappings for these structs :-)
- remove unused 601 and tlb exception code
- remove interrupt-time PTE spill code. The pmap code

- All segment registers are switched on kernel entry/exit,
allowing the kernel to have more virtual space and for
user virtual space to extend to 4G.
- The temporary register save area has been shifted from
unused exception vector space to the per-cpu data area.
This allows interrupts to be delivered to multiple CPUs
- ISI traps no longer spill to BAT tables. It is assumed
that all of kernel instruction memory is pinned.
- shift from 'ldmw/stmw' instructions to individual register
loads/stores when saving context. All PPC manuals indicate
this should be much faster.
- use '%r' for register names throughout.

The alternative signal stack is private for thread, no lock is needed,

- OpenFirmware returns overlapping memory regions. Use a simple
brute force algorithm to merge these into non-overlapping

- Move the sf_buf API to its own header file; make struct sf_buf's

unnecessary field from struct sf_buf on the alpha, amd64, and ia64.
Ultimately, we may eliminate struct sf_buf on those architecures
except as an opaque pointer that references a vm page.
Since all callers either passed 0 or 1 for clear_ret, define bit 0 in

sockets into machine-dependent files. The rationale for this
migration is illustrated by the modified amd64 allocator. It uses the
amd64's direct map to avoid emphemeral mappings in the kernel's
address space. On an SMP, the emphemeral mappings result in an IPI

Maintainers of other 64-bit platforms with direct maps should be able
to use the amd64 allocator as a reference implementation.
created not only with UMA_ZONE_VM but also with UMA_ZONE_NOFREE. In
the i386 case in particular, the pmap code would hook a special
page allocation routine that allocated from kernel_map and not kmem_map,
and so when/if the pageout daemon drained the zones, it could actually
push out slabs from the PV ENTRY zone but call UMA's default page_free,
which resulted in pages allocated from kernel_map being freed to
kmem_map; bad. kmem_free() ignores the return value of the
vm_map_delete and just returns. I'm not sure what the exact
repercussions could be, but it doesn't look good.
In the PAE case on i386, we also set-up a zone in pmap, so be
conservative for now and make that zone also ZONE_NOFREE and
ZONE_VM. Do this for the pmap zones for the other archs too,
although in some cases it may not be entirely necessarily. We'd
rather be safe than sorry at this point.
Perhaps all UMA_ZONE_VM zones should by default be also
UMA_ZONE_NOFREE?
May fix some of silby's crashes on the PV ENTRY zone.
