dd7b5bb30b Fixed insertion sort errors in the opt_cpu.h section.
Removed banal comments about ELAN*.  Complain about ELAN* being misnamed
instead (so that these options are not obviously related to a CPU and
don't sort with CPU_ELAN).

Complain about CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG being in the wrong namespace.

cc66ebe2a9 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.

support this, we do have MI code that references it and is otherwise

f1b665c8fe Revive backed out pmap related changes from Feb 2002. The highlights are:
- It actually works this time, honest!
- Fine grained TLB shootdowns for SMP on i386.  IPI's are very expensive,
  so try and optimize things where possible.
- Introduce ranged shootdowns that can be done as a single IPI.
- PG_G support for i386
- Specific-cpu targeted shootdowns.  For example, there is no sense in
  globally purging the TLB cache for where we are stealing a page from
  the local unshared process on the local cpu.  Use pm_active to track
  this.
- Add some instrumentation for the tlb shootdown code.
- Rip out SMP code from <machine/cpufunc.h>
- Try and fix some very bogus PG_G and PG_PS interactions that were bad
  enough to cause vm86 bios calls to break.  vm86 depended on our existing
  bugs and this was the cause of the VESA panics last time.
- Fix the silly one-line error that caused the 'panic: bad pte' last time.
- Fix a couple of other silly one-line errors that should have caused more
  pain than they did.

Some more work is needed:
- pmap_{zero,copy}_page[_idle].  These can be done without IPI's if we
  have a hook in cpu_switch.
- The IPI handlers need some cleanup.  I have a bogus %ds load that can
  be avoided.
- APTD handling is rather bogus and appears to be a large source of
  global TLB IPI shootdowns for no really good reason.

I see speedups of between 1.5% and ~4% on buildworlds in a while 1 loop.
I expect to see a bigger difference when there is significant pageout
activity or the system otherwise has memory shortages.

I have backed out a few optimizations that I had been using over the last
few days in order to be a little more conservative.  I'll revisit these
again over the next few days as the dust settles.

New option:  DISABLE_PG_G - In case I missed something.

There is some unresolved badness that has been eluding me, particularly
affecting uniprocessor kernels.  Turning off PG_G helped (which is a bad
sign) but didn't solve it entirely.  Userland programs still crashed.

6bd95d70db Work-in-progress commit syncing up pmap cleanups that I have been working
on for a while:
- fine grained TLB shootdown for SMP on i386
- ranged TLB shootdowns.. eg: specify a range of pages to shoot down with
  a single IPI, since the IPI is very expensive.  Adjust some callers
  that used to trigger this inside tight loops to do a ranged shootdown
  at the end instead.
- PG_G support for SMP on i386 (options ENABLE_PG_G)
- defer PG_G activation till after we decide what we are going to do with
  PSE and the 4MB pages at the start of the kernel.  This should solve
  some rumored strangeness about stale PG_G entries getting stuck
  underneath the 4MB pages.
- add some instrumentation for the fine TLB shootdown
- convert some asm instruction wrappers from functions to inlines.  gcc
  seems to do a fair bit better with this.
- [temporarily!] pessimize the tlb shootdown IPI handlers.  I will fix
  this again shortly.

This has been working fairly well for me for a while, but I have tweaked
it again prior to commit since my last major testing round.  The only
outstanding problem that I know of is PG_G related, which is why there
is an option for it (not on by default for SMP).  I have seen a world
speedups by a few percent (as much as 4 or 5% in one case) but I have
*not* accurately measured this - I am a bit sceptical of these numbers.

9c564b6c92 Add the puc (PCI "Universal" Communications) driver. The idea and some of
the structure definitions come from NetBSD to make it easier to share card
definitions. The driver only acts as a shim between the pci bus and the
sio driver. Later pci parallel ports could also be supported through this
driver. Support for most single and multiport pci serial cards should be
as simple as adding its definition to pucdata.c

Tested with the following pci cards:
Moxa Industio CP-114, 4 port RS-232,RS-422/485

e4fc250c15 Device Polling code for -current.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.

To use this code you must compile a kernel with

        options DEVICE_POLLING

and at runtime enable polling with

        sysctl kern.polling.enable=1

The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with

        sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)

while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.

Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at

	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/

and also supports polling in the idle loop.

NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.

NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.
