passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

Previously, pvzone's initialization was split between pmap_init() and

some UMA panics during initialization. Specifically, if the UMA boot
pages was exhausted before the pvzone was fully initialized, then UMA,
through no fault of its own, would use an inappropriate back-end
allocator leading to a panic. (Previously, as a workaround, we have
increased the UMA boot pages.) Fortunately, there is no longer any
reason that pvzone's initialization cannot be completed in
pmap_init().
Eliminate a check for whether pv_entry_high_water has been initialized

and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried

- Split struct ithd up into two pieces. struct intr_event holds the list
of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event. This
means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
no handlers. It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
intr_foo naming convention. This did require renaming the powerpc
MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
powerpc. This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
to the same interrupt. Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
either. Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
exclusively. The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
dumping their state. It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
braindead behavior. The code is present, though, it is just under
#if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more

high FP registers. It was not that the IPI got lost due to the
perceived unreliability of the IPI delivery, but rather that the
IPI was not assigned a vector (ugh). Sending a 0 vector to a CPU
results in a stray external interrupt.
Add a KASSERT to ipi_send() to catch this. The initialization of
the IPIs could be better, but it's not at all sure what the future
of the code is. Avoid wasting a lot of time on something that is
going to be rewritten anyway.
o Allocate a VHPT per CPU. The VHPT is a hash table that the CPU
uses to look up translations it can't find in the TLB. As such,
the VHPT serves as a level 1 cache (the TLB being a level 0 cache)
and best results are obtained when it's not shared between CPUs.
The collision chain (i.e. the hash bucket) is shared between CPUs,
as all buckets together constitute our collection of PTEs. To
achieve this, the collision chain does not point to the first PTE
in the list anymore, but to a hash bucket head structure. The
head structure contains the pointer to the first PTE in the list,
as well as a mutex to lock the bucket. Thus, each bucket is locked
independently of each other. With at least 1024 buckets in the VHPT,
this provides for sufficiently finei-grained locking to make the
ssolution scalable to large SMP machines.
o Add synchronisation to the lazy FP context switching. We do this
with a seperate per-thread lock. On SMP machines the lazy high FP
context switching without synchronisation caused inconsistent
state, which resulted in a panic. Since the use of the high FP
registers is not common, it's possible that races exist. The ia64
package build has proven to be a good stress test, so this will
get plenty of exercise in the near future.
o Don't use the local ID of the processor we want to send the IPI to
as the argument to ipi_send(). use the struct pcpu pointer instead.
The reason for this is that IPI delivery is unreliable. It has been
observed that sending an IPI to a CPU causes it to receive a stray
external interrupt. As such, we need a way to make the delivery
reliable. The intended solution is to queue requests in the target
CPU's per-CPU structure and use a single IPI to inform the CPU that
there's a new entry in the queue. If that IPI gets lost, the CPU
can check it's queue at any convenient time (such as for each
clock interrupt). This also allows us to send requests to a CPU
without interrupting it, if such would be beneficial.
With these changes SMP is almost working. There are still some random
process crashes and the machine can hang due to having the IPI lost
that deals with the high FP context switch.
The overhead of introducing the hash bucket head structure results
in a performance degradation of about 1% for UP (extra pointer
indirection). This is surprisingly small and is offset by gaining
reasonably/good scalable SMP support.
allocating a VHPT per CPU. Since we don't yet know how many CPUs

pointer doesn't point to the first instruction of that function, but
rather to a descriptor. The descriptor has the address of the first
instruction, as well as the value of the global pointer. The symbol
table doesn't know anything about descriptors, so if you lookup the
name of a function you get the address of the first instruction. The
cast from the address, which is the result of the symbol lookup, to a
function pointer as is done in db_fncall is therefore invalid.
Abstract this detail behind the DB_CALL macro. By default DB_CALL is
defined as db_fncall_generic, which yields the old behaviour. On ia64
the macro is defined as db_fncall_ia64, in which a descriptor is

by amd64 and i386: For buffered writes we collect data and write it
out a ${DEV_BSIZE}-sized block at a time. The fragsz variable is used
to keep track of how much data we have collected in the buffer so far
and it's reset to zero immediately after writing a block to the dump
device.
When the last, possibly partially filled buffer is flushed, we didn't
reset fragsz to 0 and as such would stop reflecting reality. Since we
currently only need to do buffered writes once, this isn't a problem.
However, when kernel dumps are made by hand (say by callling doadump
from within DDB), the improperly cleared state from the first call to
dumpsys causes the next call to dumpsys to create an invalid code file.
This change resets fragsz after flushing the partially filled buffer so

immediate is not saved by the architecture. Any of the break.{mifx}
instructions have their immediate saved in cr.iim on interruption.
Consequently, when we handle the break interrupt, we end up with a
break value of 0 when it was a break.b. The immediate is important
because it distinguishes between different uses of the break and
which are defined by the runtime specification.
The bottomline is that when the GNU debugger replaces a B-unit
instruction with a break instruction in the inferior, we would not
send the process a SIGTRAP when we encounter it, because the value
is not one we recognize as a debugger breakpoint.
This change adds logic to decode the bundle in which the break
instruction lives whenever the break value is 0. The assumption
being that it's a break.b and we fetch the immediate directly out
of the instruction. If the break instruction was not a break.b,
but any of break.{mifx} with an immediate of 0, we would be doing
unnecessary work. But since a break 0 is invalid, this is not a
problem and it will still result in a SIGILL being sent to the

now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

sys/bus_dma.h instead of being copied in every single arch. This slightly
reorders a flag that was specific to AXP and thus changes the ABI there.
The interface still relies on bus_space definitions found in <machine/bus.h>
so it cannot be included on its own yet, but that will be fixed at a later
date. Add an MD <machine/bus_dma.h> for ever arch for consistency and to
allow for future MD augmentation of the API. sparc64 makes heavy use of
this right now due to its different bus_dma implemenation.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.
By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.
