freebsd with flexible iflib nic queues

on for a while: - fine grained TLB shootdown for SMP on i386 - ranged TLB shootdowns.. eg: specify a range of pages to shoot down with a single IPI, since the IPI is very expensive. Adjust some callers that used to trigger this inside tight loops to do a ranged shootdown at the end instead. - PG_G support for SMP on i386 (options ENABLE_PG_G) - defer PG_G activation till after we decide what we are going to do with PSE and the 4MB pages at the start of the kernel. This should solve some rumored strangeness about stale PG_G entries getting stuck underneath the 4MB pages. - add some instrumentation for the fine TLB shootdown - convert some asm instruction wrappers from functions to inlines. gcc seems to do a fair bit better with this. - [temporarily!] pessimize the tlb shootdown IPI handlers. I will fix this again shortly. This has been working fairly well for me for a while, but I have tweaked it again prior to commit since my last major testing round. The only outstanding problem that I know of is PG_G related, which is why there is an option for it (not on by default for SMP). I have seen a world speedups by a few percent (as much as 4 or 5% in one case) but I have *not* accurately measured this - I am a bit sceptical of these numbers. |

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 ``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/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 have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/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.
