Update i386 NOTES for COMPAT_AOUT. It is not i386-only, or even very MD.
Sort its entry better.
Finish gzip configuration (but not support) for amd64. gzip is really
gzipped aout. It is currently broken even for i386 (a call to vm fails).
amd64 has always attempted to configure and test it, but it depends on
COMPAT_AOUT (as noted). The bug that it depends on unconfigured files
was not detected since it is configured as a device. All other optional
image activators are configured properly using an option.
time, especially for SMP. If configured, it turns itself on at boot
time for calibration, so is fragile even if never otherwise used.
Both types of kernel profiling were supposed to use a global spinlock
in the SMP case. If hi-res profiling is configured (but not necessarily
used), this was supposed to be optimized by only using it when
necessary, and slightly more efficiently, in asm. But it was not done
at all for mcount entry where it is necessary. This caused crashes
in the SMP case when either type of profiling was enabled. For mcount
exit, it only caused wrong times. The times were wrongest with an
i8254 timer since using that requires exclusive access to the hardware.
The i8254 timer was too slow to use here 20 years ago and is much less
usable now, but it is the default for the SMP case since TSCs weren't
invariant when SMP was new. Do the locking in all hi-res SMP cases for
simplicity.
Calibration uses special asms, and the clobber lists in these were sort
of inverted. They contained the arg and return registers which are not
clobbered, but on amd64 they didn't contain the residue of the call-used
registers which may be clobbered (%r10 and %r11). This usually caused
hangs at boot time. This usually affected even the UP case.
kernel profiling remains broken).
memmove() was broken using ALTENTRY(). ALTENTRY() is only different from
ENTRY() in the profiling case, and its use in that case was sort of
backwards. The backwardness magically turned memmove() into memcpy()
instead of completely breaking it. Only the high resolution parts of
profiling itself were broken. Use ordinary ENTRY() for memmove().
Turn bcopy() into a tail call to memmove() to reduce complications.
This gives slightly different pessimizations and profiling lossage.
The pessimizations are minimized by not using a frame pointer() for
bcopy().
Calls to profiling functions from exception trampolines were not
relocated. This caused crashes on the first exception. Fix this using
function pointers.
Addresses of exception handlers in trampolines were not relocated. This
caused unknown offsets in the profiling data. Relocate by abusing
setidt_disp as for pmc although this is slower than necessary and
requires namespace pollution. pmc seems to be missing some relocations.
Stack traces and lots of other things in debuggers need similar relocations.
Most user addresses were misclassified as unknown kernel addresses and
then ignored. Treat all unknown addresses as user. Now only user
addresses in the kernel text range are significantly misclassified (as
known kernel addresses).
The ibrs functions didn't preserve enough registers. This is the only
recent breakage on amd64. Although these functions are written in
asm, in the profiling case they call profiling functions which are
mostly for the C ABI, so they only have to save call-used registers.
They also have to save arg and return registers in some cases and
actually save them in all cases to reduce complications. They end up
saving all registers except %ecx on i386 and %r10 and %r11 on amd64.
Saving these is only needed for 1 caller on each of amd64 and i386.
Save them there. This is slightly simpler.
Remove saving %ecx in handle_ibrs_exit on i386. Both handle_ibrs_entry
and handle_ibrs_exit use %ecx, but only the latter needed to or did
save it. But saving it there doesn't work for the profiling case.
amd64 has more automatic saving of the most common scratch registers
%rax, %rcx and %rdx (its complications for %r10 are from unusual use
of %r10 by SYSCALL). Thus profiling of handle_ibrs_exit_rs() was not
broken, and I didn't simplify the saving by moving the saving of these
registers from it to the caller.
The intent was that the default would be based on number of CPUs, but the
code disabled using taskqueue() by default.
This code is only executed when mounting a NFSv4.1 server that supports the
Flexible File layout for pNFS and, since such servers are rare, this change
shouldn't result in a POLA violation.
(The FreeBSD pNFS server is still a project and the only other one that
uses Flexible File layout is being developed by Primary Data and I don't
know if they have even shipped any to customers yet.)
Found while testing the pNFS server.
- Prefer using ansi prototypes rather than C prototypes
- Keep type on separate line from name of function
- Try to keep things const where possible. This will help get to WARNS=6
- switch to "bool" where it makes sense
It serves little purpose after r308474 and r329882. As a side
effect, the removal fixes a bug in r329882 which caused the
page daemon to periodically invoke lowmem handlers even in the
absence of memory pressure.

Recently a change was made which broke loading 32-bit binaries on powerpc64,
with an assertion in ld-elf32.so.1:
ld-elf32.so.1: assert failed:
/usr/local/poudriere/jails/ppc64/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c:390
It turns out Elf32_AuxInfo was broken for a very long time on powerpc64, as
it uses long and pointers, which are both 64 bits on powerpc64, and only
manifested with the recent work on auxargs.

Currently kexec loads an initrd file into the main memory but does not
mark that region as reserved, thus the area is not protected.
If any initrd/md file is loaded from kexec/petitboot, the region might become
corarupted/overwritten since FreeBSD does not know the region is 'reserved'.
This patch simply adds the initrd area as a reserved memory region.

If the current token is an opening parenthesis, it's either a function call
(or sizeof or offsetof) or a declaration. The former doesn't need a space
before the parenthesis.
I want to do this change because this call (actually,
AcpiHwLegacyWakePrep) does a memory allocation and ACPI namespace
evaluation. Although it is not very likely to run into any trouble, it
is still not safe to make those calls with interrupts disabled.
witness(4) and malloc(9) do not currently check for a context with
interrupts disabled via intr_disable and we lack a facility for doing
that. So, those unsafe operations fly under the radar. But if
intr_disable in acpi_EnterSleepState was replaced with spinlock_enter
(which it probably should be), then witness and malloc would immediately
complain.
Also, AcpiLeaveSleepStatePrep is documented as called when interrupts
are enabled. It used to require disabled interrupts, but that
requirement was changed a long time ago when support for _BFS and _GTS
was removed from ACPICA.
The ACPI wakeup sequence is very sensitive to changes. I consider this
change to be correct, but there can be fallouts from it.
What AcpiHwLegacyWakePrep essentially does is writing a value
corresponding to S0 into SLP_TYPx bits of PM1 Control Register(s).
According to ACPI specifications that write should be a NOP as SLP_EN
bit is not set. But I see in some chipset specifications that they
allow to ignore SLP_EN altogether and to act on a change of SLP_TYPx
alone.
Also, there are a couple of accesses to ACPI hardware before the new
location of the call to AcpiLeaveSleepStatePrep. One is to clear the
power button status and the other is to enable SCI. So, the move may
affect the interaction between then OS and ACPI platform.
I have not seen any regressions on my test system, but it's a desktop.
