/*-
Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly. - All processes go into the same array of queues, with different scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into interrupt thread range if need be. - I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than 32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels. - The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in the global run queue structure. - Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority. - Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI). - Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc. This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt. - Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class. - Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant and then other processes would try to propogate their priority onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle. vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm system. - Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

#include "opt_sched.h"
Implement preemption of kernel threads natively in the scheduler rather than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel: - Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly. When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set, then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption. - Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the do_switch argument from ithread_schedule(). - Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture supports native preemption. - Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since the ithreads will just preempt DELAY(). - Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary. - Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64. This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

Refactor a bunch of scheduler code to give basically the same behaviour but with slightly cleaned up interfaces. The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great one is #defined as the other at this time. The KSE (or td_sched) structure is now allocated per thread and has no allocation code of its own. Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters rather than using KSE structures as tokens. Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure. The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure. (per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental schedulers with completely different internal structuring. A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with 10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated. Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance but I will work to recover as much of it as I can. Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly. exit and exec code now transitions a process back to 'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.

Initial landing of SMP support for FreeBSD/amd64. - This is heavily derived from John Baldwin's apic/pci cleanup on i386. - I have completely rewritten or drastically cleaned up some other parts.

I have a workaround in mind, but right now the Asus SK8N is broken. The Gigabyte K8NPro (nVidia based) is also mind-numbingly hosed. - Most of my testing has been with SCHED_ULE. SCHED_4BSD works. - the apic and acpi components are 'standard'. - If you have an nVidia nForce3-150 board, you are stuck with 'device atpic' in addition, because they somehow managed to forget to connect the 8254 timer to the apic, even though its in the same silicon!

#if defined(SMP) && (defined(__i386__) || defined(__amd64__))
Commit a partial lazy thread switch mechanism for i386. it isn't as lazy 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 meant for the kthread case, while his was for interrupts. Mine helps a little for interrupts, but his helps a lot more. The stats are enabled with options SWTCH_OPTIM_STATS - this has been a pseudo-option for years, I just added a bunch of stuff to it. 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 soon. This is actually seperate to the lazy switch stuff. Glanced at by: jake, jhb

The few asserts and thread state setting were moved to the individual schedulers. sched_add() was chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons. - Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place each. - Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code. - Remove the now redundant ts_state. Inspect the thread state directly. - Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to support a feature in one scheduler. - Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched. Also, rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread. This simplifies the logic in choosethread(). Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched. Discussed with: julian - Move the idle thread loop into the per scheduler area. ULE wants to do something different from the other schedulers.

Add code to ddb to allow backtracing an arbitrary thread. (show thread {address}) Remove the IDLE kse state and replace it with a change in the way threads sahre KSEs. Every KSE now has a thread, which is considered its "owner" however a KSE may also be lent to other threads in the same group to allow completion of in-kernel work. n this case the owner remains the same and the KSE will revert to the owner when the other work has been completed. All creations of upcalls etc. is now done from kse_reassign() which in turn is called from mi_switch or thread_exit(). This means that special code can be removed from msleep() and cv_wait(). kse_release() does not leave a KSE with no thread any more but converts the existing thread into teh KSE's owner, and sets it up for doing an upcall. It is just inhibitted from being scheduled until there is some reason to do an upcall. Remove all trace of the kse_idle queue since it is no-longer needed. "Idle" KSEs are now on the loanable queue.

Implement preemption of kernel threads natively in the scheduler rather than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel: - Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly. When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set, then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption. - Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the do_switch argument from ithread_schedule(). - Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture supports native preemption. - Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since the ithreads will just preempt DELAY(). - Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary. - Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64. This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

The container may be a turnstile, sleepqueue, or run queue. - thread_lock() is now used to protect access to thread related scheduling fields. thread_unlock() unlocks the lock and thread_set_lock() implements the transition from one lock to another. - A new "blocked_lock" is used in cases where it is not safe to hold the actual thread's lock yet we must prevent access to the thread. - sched_throw() and sched_fork_exit() are introduced to allow the schedulers to fix-up locking at these points. - Add some minor infrastructure for optionally exporting scheduler statistics that were invaluable in solving performance problems with this patch.

Implement preemption of kernel threads natively in the scheduler rather than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel: - Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly. When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set, then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption. - Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the do_switch argument from ithread_schedule(). - Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture supports native preemption. - Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since the ithreads will just preempt DELAY(). - Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary. - Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64. This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

#ifdef PREEMPTION
/*
* The new thread should not preempt the current thread if any of the
* following conditions are true:
*
A further step on the journey of meaking panics and debugging more reliable: in the window between the beginning of panic() and entering the debugger, it's possible to receive interrupts. If we receive an interrupt, don't preempt if panicstr != NULL, as the system is in the process of failing, and the preempting thread is likely to stumble over the failure. The typical scenario is during the printf() in panic() prior to entering the debugger, but when running with a slower console type such as serial console. It could be that the panic string should be passed to the debugger to print, so that it can run from the debugger's environment rather than a regular kernel printf. Glanced at by: jhb

* - The kernel is in the throes of crashing (panicstr).
- Move TDF_OWEPREEMPT, TDF_OWEUPC, and TDF_USTATCLOCK over to td_pflags since they are only accessed by curthread and thus do not need any locking. - Move pr_addr and pr_ticks out of struct uprof (which is per-process) and directly into struct thread as td_profil_addr and td_profil_ticks as these variables are really per-thread. (They are used to defer an addupc_intr() that was too "hard" until ast()).

* - The current thread has a higher (numerically lower) or

Commit 1/14 of sched_lock decomposition. - Move all scheduler locking into the schedulers utilizing a technique similar to solaris's container locking. - A per-process spinlock is now used to protect the queue of threads, thread count, suspension count, p_sflags, and other process related scheduling fields. - The new thread lock is actually a pointer to a spinlock for the container that the thread is currently owned by. The container may be a turnstile, sleepqueue, or run queue. - thread_lock() is now used to protect access to thread related scheduling fields. thread_unlock() unlocks the lock and thread_set_lock() implements the transition from one lock to another. - A new "blocked_lock" is used in cases where it is not safe to hold the actual thread's lock yet we must prevent access to the thread. - sched_throw() and sched_fork_exit() are introduced to allow the schedulers to fix-up locking at these points. - Add some minor infrastructure for optionally exporting scheduler statistics that were invaluable in solving performance problems with this patch. Generally these statistics allow you to differentiate between different causes of context switches.

Threading cleanup.. part 2 of several. Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent.. Specifically, remove: Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was never fully utilised and made things overly complicated. All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it. Also: Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow. This makes the code a lot more readable. The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works. The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit. Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.

- Remove setrunqueue and replace it with direct calls to sched_add(). setrunqueue() was mostly empty. The few asserts and thread state setting were moved to the individual schedulers. sched_add() was chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons. - Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place each. - Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code. - Remove the now redundant ts_state. Inspect the thread state directly. - Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to support a feature in one scheduler. - Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched. Also, rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread. This simplifies the logic in choosethread(). Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched. Discussed with: julian - Move the idle thread loop into the per scheduler area. ULE wants to do something different from the other schedulers.

Implement preemption of kernel threads natively in the scheduler rather than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel: - Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly. When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set, then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption. - Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the do_switch argument from ithread_schedule(). - Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture supports native preemption. - Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since the ithreads will just preempt DELAY(). - Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary. - Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.

Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly. - All processes go into the same array of queues, with different scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into interrupt thread range if need be. - I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than 32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels. - The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in the global run queue structure. - Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority. - Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI). - Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc. This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt. - Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class. - Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant and then other processes would try to propogate their priority onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle. vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm system. - Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights include: * Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.) * Per-CPU idle processes. * Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be preempted (i386 only).

- Add three new functions to support circular run queues. - runq_add_pri allows the caller to position the thread at any rqindex regardless of priority. - runq_choose_from() chooses the lowest priority thread starting from a given index. The index is updated with the rqindex of the chosen thread. This routine is used to pick the lowest priority relative to a given index. - runq_remove_idx() updates the index if the run queue that held the removed thread is now empty.

Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly. - All processes go into the same array of queues, with different scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into interrupt thread range if need be. - I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than 32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels. - The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in the global run queue structure. - Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority. - Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI). - Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc. This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt. - Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class. - Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant and then other processes would try to propogate their priority onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle. vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm system. - Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly. - All processes go into the same array of queues, with different scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into interrupt thread range if need be. - I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than 32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels. - The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in the global run queue structure. - Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority. - Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI). - Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc. This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt. - Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class. - Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant and then other processes would try to propogate their priority onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle. vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm system. - Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it would parse the data incorrectly.

* corresponding status bit if the queue becomes empty.
- Remove setrunqueue and replace it with direct calls to sched_add(). setrunqueue() was mostly empty. The few asserts and thread state setting were moved to the individual schedulers. sched_add() was chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons. - Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place each. - Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code. - Remove the now redundant ts_state. Inspect the thread state directly. - Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to support a feature in one scheduler. - Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched. Also, rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread. This simplifies the logic in choosethread(). Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched. Discussed with: julian - Move the idle thread loop into the per scheduler area. ULE wants to do something different from the other schedulers. Suggested by: jhb Tested on: x86/amd64 sched_{4BSD, ULE, CORE}.

Commit 1/14 of sched_lock decomposition. - Move all scheduler locking into the schedulers utilizing a technique similar to solaris's container locking. - A per-process spinlock is now used to protect the queue of threads, thread count, suspension count, p_sflags, and other process related scheduling fields. - The new thread lock is actually a pointer to a spinlock for the container that the thread is currently owned by. The container may be a turnstile, sleepqueue, or run queue. - thread_lock() is now used to protect access to thread related scheduling fields. thread_unlock() unlocks the lock and thread_set_lock() implements the transition from one lock to another. - A new "blocked_lock" is used in cases where it is not safe to hold the actual thread's lock yet we must prevent access to the thread. - sched_throw() and sched_fork_exit() are introduced to allow the schedulers to fix-up locking at these points. - Add some minor infrastructure for optionally exporting scheduler statistics that were invaluable in solving performance problems with this patch. Generally these statistics allow you to differentiate between different causes of context switches.

The container may be a turnstile, sleepqueue, or run queue. - thread_lock() is now used to protect access to thread related scheduling fields. thread_unlock() unlocks the lock and thread_set_lock() implements the transition from one lock to another. - A new "blocked_lock" is used in cases where it is not safe to hold the actual thread's lock yet we must prevent access to the thread. - sched_throw() and sched_fork_exit() are introduced to allow the schedulers to fix-up locking at these points. - Add some minor infrastructure for optionally exporting scheduler statistics that were invaluable in solving performance problems with this patch. Generally these statistics allow you to differentiate between different causes of context switches. Tested by: kris, current@ Tested on: i386, amd64, ULE, 4BSD, libthr, libkse, PREEMPTION, etc. Discussed with: kris, attilio, kmacy, jhb, julian, bde (small parts each)

Threading cleanup.. part 2 of several. Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent.. Specifically, remove: Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was never fully utilised and made things overly complicated. All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it. Also: Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow. This makes the code a lot more readable. The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works. The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit. Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.

TAILQ_REMOVE(rqh, ts, ts_procq);
Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly. - All processes go into the same array of queues, with different scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into interrupt thread range if need be. - I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than 32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels. - The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in the global run queue structure. - Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority. - Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI). - Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc. This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt. - Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class. - Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant and then other processes would try to propogate their priority onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle. vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm system. - Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

This routine is used to pick the lowest priority relative to a given index. - runq_remove_idx() updates the index if the run queue that held the removed thread is now empty.

Refactor a bunch of scheduler code to give basically the same behaviour but with slightly cleaned up interfaces. The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great one is #defined as the other at this time. The KSE (or td_sched) structure is now allocated per thread and has no allocation code of its own. Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters rather than using KSE structures as tokens. Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure. The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure. (per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental schedulers with completely different internal structuring. A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with 10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated. Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance but I will work to recover as much of it as I can. Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly. exit and exec code now transitions a process back to 'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.

In other words how the scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental schedulers with completely different internal structuring. A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with 10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated. Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance but I will work to recover as much of it as I can. Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly. exit and exec code now transitions a process back to 'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.
