freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues

mostly meets the guidelines set by the Intel SDM: 1. We use XRSTOR and XSAVE from the same CPL using the same linear address for the store area 2. Contrary to the recommendations, we cannot zero the FPU save area for a new thread, since fork semantic requires the copy of the previous state. This advice seemingly contradicts to the advice from the item 6. 3. We do use XSAVEOPT in the context switch code only, and the area for XSAVEOPT already always contains the data saved by XSAVE. 4. We do not modify the save area between XRSTOR, when the area is loaded into FPU context, and XSAVE. We always spit the fpu context into save area and start emulation when directly writing into FPU context. 5. We do not use segmented addressing to access save area, or rather, always address it using %ds basing. 6. XSAVEOPT can be only executed in the area which was previously loaded with XRSTOR, since context switch code checks for FPU use by outgoing thread before saving, and thread which stopped emulation forcibly get context loaded with XRSTOR. 7. The PCB cannot be paged out while FPU emulation is turned off, since stack of the executing thread is never swapped out. The context switch code is patched to issue XSAVEOPT instead of XSAVE if supported. This approach eliminates one conditional in the context switch code, which would be needed otherwise. For user-visible machine context to have proper data, fpugetregs() checks for unsaved extension blocks and manually copies pristine FPU state into them, according to the description provided by CPUID leaf 0xd.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
