- DTrace scripts to check for errors, performance, ...
they serve mostly as examples of what you can do with the static probe;s
with moderate load the scripts may be overwhelmed, excessive lock-tracing
may influence program behavior (see the last design decission)
Design decissions:
- use "linuxulator" as the provider for the native bitsize; add the
bitsize for the non-native emulation (e.g. "linuxuator32" on amd64)
- Add probes only for locks which are acquired in one function and released
in another function. Locks which are aquired and released in the same
function should be easy to pair in the code, inter-function
locking is more easy to verify in DTrace.
- Probes for locks should be fired after locking and before releasing to
prevent races (to provide data/function stability in DTrace, see the
man-page of "dtrace -v ..." and the corresponding DTrace docs).
in the last import. They are sometimes needed when you want to use
advanced instructions.
Also, add clang's internal stdalign.h header to ObsoleteFiles.inc, since
it is redundant: we already have a stdalign.h header in /usr/include.

EINVAL and do not try to dereference NULL buckets hash array.
This seems to happen on ia64 for rtld object itself, where the
R_IA_64_FPTR64LSB relocations require symbol lookup. The dynamic
linker itself does not rely on identity of the C-level function

I/O port addresses. Even if we do, this is hardly the place to mask
interrupts. It's not clear that this was at all needed. The code came
with CVS revision 1.2 of nexus.c when interrupt support was first added.
What is known is that ia64 has always been designed around the IOSAPIC,
and that doing I/O like this prevents Altix from booting.

Use MADT to match ACPI Processor objects to CPUs. MADT and DSDT/SSDTs may
list CPUs in different orders, especially for disabled logical cores. Now
we match ACPI IDs from the MADT with Processor objects, strictly order CPUs
accordingly, and ignore disabled cores. This prevents us from executing
methods for other CPUs, e. g., _PSS for disabled logical core, which may not
exist. Unfortunately, it is known that there are a few systems with buggy
BIOSes that do not have unique ACPI IDs for MADT and Processor objects. To
work around these problems, 'debug.acpi.cpu_unordered' tunable is added.
Set this to a non-zero value to restore the old behavior.
Many thanks to jhb for pointing me to the right direction and the manual
page change.

ThunderBolt cannot read sector >= 2^32 or 2^21
with supplied patch.
Second the bigger change, fix RAID operation on ThunderBolt base
card such as physically removing a disk from a RAID and replacing
it. The current situation is the RAID firmware effectively hangs
waiting for an acknowledgement from the driver. This is due to
the firmware support of the driver actually accessing the RAID
from under the firmware. This is an interesting feature that
the FreeBSD driver does not use. However, when the firmare
detects the driver has attached it then expects the driver will
synchronize LD's with the firmware. If the driver does not sync.
then the management part of the firmware will hang waiting for
it so a pulled driver will listed as still there.
The fix for this problem isn't extremely difficult. However,
figuring out why some of the code was the way it was and then
redoing it was involved. Not have a spec. made it harder to
try to figure out. The existing driver would send a
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO command in write mode to acknowledge
a LD state change. In read mode it gets the RAID map from the
firmware. The FreeBSD driver doesn't do that currently. It
could be added in the future with the appropriate structures.
To simplify things, get the current LD state and then build
the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command so that it sends
an acknowledgement for each LD. The map would probably state
which LD's changed so then the driver could probably just
acknowledge the LD's that changed versus all. This doesn't seem
to be a problem. When a MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command
is sent to the firmware, it will complete later when a change
to the LD's happen. So it is very much like an AEN command
returning when something happened. When the
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command completes, we refire the
sync'ing of the LD state. This needs to be done in as an event
so that MFI_DCMD_LD_GET_LIST can wait for that command to
complete before issuing the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write.
The prior code didn't use the call-back function and tried
to intercept the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command when
processing an interrupt. This added a bunch of code complexity
to the interrupt handler. Using the call-back that is done
for other commands got rid of this need. So the interrupt
handler is greatly simplified. It seems that even commands
that shouldn't be acknowledged end up in the interrupt handler.
To deal with this, code was added to check to see if a command
is in the busy queue or not. This might have contributed to the
interrupt storm happening without MSI enabled on these cards.
Note that MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/read returns right away.
It would be interesting to see what other complexity could
be removed from the ThunderBolt driver that really isn't
needed in our mode of operation. Letting the RAID firmware
do all of the I/O to disks is a lot faster since it can
use its caches. It greatly simplifies what the driver has
to do and potential bugs if the driver and firmware are
not in sync.
Simplify the aen_abort/cm_map_abort and put it in the softc
versus in the command structure.
This should get merged to 9 before the driver is merged to
8.

- Use isync/lwsync unconditionally for acquire/release. Use of isync
guarantees a complete memory barrier, which is important for serialization
of bus space accesses with mutexes on multi-processor systems.
- Go back to using sync as the I/O memory barrier, which solves the same
problem as above with respect to mutex release using lwsync, while not
penalizing non-I/O operations like a return to sync on the atomic release
operations would.
- Place an acquisition barrier around thread lock acquisition in
cpu_switchin().
