64bit and 32bit ABIs. As a side-effect, it enables AVX on capable
CPUs.
In particular:
- Query the CPU support for XSAVE, list of the supported extensions
and the required size of FPU save area. The hw.use_xsave tunable is
provided for disabling XSAVE, and hw.xsave_mask may be used to
select the enabled extensions.
- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the
(run-time sized) user save area on the top of the kernel stack,
right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to
postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.
- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as
well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in
dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.
- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and
enabled.
- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that
mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU
state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu
state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag,
allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended
state in the interrupted context.
- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no
place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save
area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it
impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending
getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query
extended FPU state.
- Add ptrace(2) support for getting and setting extended state; while
there, implement missed PT_I386_{GET,SET}XMMREGS for 32bit binaries.
- Change fpu_kern KPI to not expose struct fpu_kern_ctx layout to
consumers, making it opaque. Internally, struct fpu_kern_ctx now
contains a space for the extended state. Convert in-kernel consumers
of fpu_kern KPI both on i386 and amd64.
First version of the support for AVX was submitted by Tim Bird
<tim.bird am sony com> on behalf of Sony. This version was written
from scratch.

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.
