Unlike the uncommitted US-III version, which provide no measurable
speedup or even resulted in a slight slowdown on certain CPUs models
compared to using the US-I version with these, the SPARC64 version
actually results in a slight improvement.
The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

now it uses a very dumb first-touch allocation policy. This will change in
the future.
- Each architecture indicates the maximum number of supported memory domains
via a new VM_NDOMAIN parameter in <machine/vmparam.h>.
- Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain
a CPU belongs to. Domain values are dense and numbered from 0.
- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist
(VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain.
The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures.
Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a
domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single
domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero.
This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that
fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists.
- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is
used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the
per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order
the per-domain lookup lists based on the penalty for each memory domain
relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a
new vm.phys.lookup_lists sysctl.
- The first-touch policy is implemented by using PCPU_GET(domain) to
pick a lookup list when allocating memory.

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not

7 which corresponds to WSTATE_KMIX in OpenSolaris whenever calling into
it which totally screws us even when restoring %wstate afterwards as
spill/fill traps can happen while in OFW. The rather hackish OpenBSD
approach of just setting the equivalent of WSTATE_KERNEL to 7 also is
no option as we treat %wstate as a bit field. So in order to deal with
this problem actually implement spill/fill handlers for %wstate 7 which
just act as the WSTATE_KERNEL ones except of theoretically also handling
32-bit, turn off interrupts completely so we don't even take IPIs while
in OFW which should ensure we only take spill/fill traps at most and
restore %wstate after calling into OFW once we have taken over the trap
table. While at it, actually set WSTATE_{,PROM}_KMIX before calling into
OFW just like OpenSolaris does, which should at least help testing this
change on non-V1280.
- Remove comments referring to the %wstate usage in BSD/OS.
- Remove the no longer used RSF_ALIGN_RETRY macro.
- Correct some trap table addresses in comments.
- Ensure %wstate is set to WSTATE_KERNEL when taking over the trap table.
- Ensure PSTATE_AM is off when entering or exiting to OFW as well as that
interrupts are also completely off when exiting to OFW as the firmware
trap table shouldn't be used to handle our interrupts.
- Swap the configuration of the first and second large dTLB as with
US-IV+ these can only hold entries of certain page sizes each, which
we happened to chose the non-working way around.
- Additionally ensure that the large iTLB is set up to hold 8k pages
(currently this happens to be a NOP though).
- Add a workaround for US-IV+ erratum #2.
- Turn off dTLB parity error reporting as otherwise we get seemingly
false positives when copying in the user window by simulating a
fill trap on return to usermode. Given that these parity errors can
be avoided by disabling multi issue mode and the problem could be
reproduced with a second machine this appears to be a silicon bug of
some sort.
- Add a membar #Sync also before the stores to ASI_DCACHE_TAG. While
at it, turn of interrupts across the whole cheetah_cache_flush() for
simplicity instead of around every flush. This should have next to no
impact as for cheetah-class machines we typically only need to flush
the caches a few times during boot when recovering from peeking/poking
non-existent PCI devices, if at all.
- Just use KERNBASE for FLUSH as we also do elsewhere as the US-IV+
documentation doesn't seem to mention that these CPUs also ignore the
address like previous cheetah-class CPUs do. Again the code changing
LSU_IC is executed seldom enough that the negligible optimization of
using %g0 instead should have no real impact.
With these changes FreeBSD runs stable on V890 equipped with US-IV+
and -j128 buildworlds in a loop for days are no problem. Unfortunately,

US-IV+ V890 takes nearly 3h while on a V440 with (theoretically) less
powerfull 4x1.5GHz US-IIIi it takes just over 1h. It's unclear whether
this is related to the supposed silicon bug mentioned above or due to
another issue. The documentation (which contains a sever bug in the
description of the bits added to the context registers though) at least
doesn't mention any requirements for changes in the CPU handling besides
those implemented and the cache as well as the TLB configurations and
handling look fine.
