On amd64, arm64 and i386, we have the possibility to switch between TLS
areas in userspace. The nice thing about this is that it makes it easier
to do light-weight threading, if we ever feel like doing that. On armv6,
let's go into the same direction by making it possible to safely use the
TPIDRURW register, which is intended for this purpose.
Clean up the ARMv6 code to remove md_tp entirely. Simply add a dedicated
field to the PCB to hold the value of TPIDRURW across context switches,
like we do for any other register. As userspace currently uses the
read-only TPIDRURO register, simply ensure that we keep both values in
sync where possible. The system calls for modifying the read-only
register will simply write the intended value into both registers, so
that it lazily ends up in the PCB during the next context switch.

Right now, userspace (fast) gettimeofday(2) on x86 only works for
RDTSC. For older machines, like Core2, where RDTSC is not C2/C3
invariant, and which fall to HPET hardware, this means that the call
has both the penalty of the syscall and of the uncached hw behind the
QPI or PCIe connection to the sought bridge. Nothing can me done
against the access latency, but the syscall overhead can be removed.
System already provides mappable /dev/hpetX devices, which gives
straight access to the HPET registers page.
Add yet another algorithm to the x86 'vdso' timehands. Libc is updated
to handle both RDTSC and HPET. For HPET, the index of the hpet device
to mmap is passed from kernel to userspace, index might be changed and
libc invalidates its mapping as needed.
Remove cpu_fill_vdso_timehands() KPI, instead require that
timecounters which can be used from userspace, to provide
tc_fill_vdso_timehands{,32}() methods. Merge i386 and amd64
libc/<arch>/sys/__vdso_gettc.c into one source file in the new
libc/x86/sys location. __vdso_gettc() internal interface is changed
to move timecounter algorithm detection into the MD code.
Measurements show that RDTSC even with the syscall overhead is faster
than userspace HPET access. But still, userspace HPET is three-four
times faster than syscall HPET on several Core2 and SandyBridge
machines.

fully-pessimized implementation that requires a type to be aligned to
its natural size.
On armv6+ the compiler might generate load-/store-multiple instructions
which require 4-byte alignment even though the source code is only
accessing individual uint32_t values in a way that doesn't require any
particular alignment at all. The compiler apparently feels free to
combine multiple accesses into a single instruction that requires a
more-strict alignment, and no set of compiler flags seems to disable
this behavior (at least in clang 3.8).
This fixes alignment faults on arm systems using wifi adapters. The
wifi code uses ALIGNED_POINTER(p, uint32_t) to decide whether it needs
to copy-align tcp headers. Because clang is combining several uint32_t
accesses into a single ldm instruction, we need to say that accessing a
uint32_t requires 4-byte alignment.

are no longer natural-alignment strict, there are still some restrictions.
FreeBSD network code assumes data is naturally-aligned or is running
on a platform with no restrictions; pointers are not annotated to
indicate the data pointed to may be packed or unaligned. The clang
optimizer can sometimes combine the load or store of a pair of adjacent
32-bit values into a single doubleword load/store, and that operation
requires at least 4-byte alignment. __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT can lead
to tcp headers being only 2-byte aligned.
Note that alignment faults remain disabled on armv6, this change reverts
only the defining of the symbol which leads to some overly-agressive code
shortcuts when building common/shared drivers and network code for arm.

have ACLE support built in. The ACLE (ARM C Language Extensions) defines
a set of standardized symbols which indicate the architecture version and
features available. ACLE support is built in to modern compilers (both
clang and gcc), but absent from gcc prior to 4.4.
ARM (the company) provides the acle-compat.h header file to define the
right symbols for older versions of gcc. Basically, acle-compat.h does
for arm about the same thing cdefs.h does for freebsd: defines
standardized macros that work no matter which compiler you use. If ARM
hadn't provided this file we would have ended up with a big #ifdef __arm__
section in cdefs.h with our own compatibility shims.
Remove #include <machine/acle-compat.h> from the zillion other places (an
ever-growing list) that it appears. Since style(9) requires sys/types.h
or sys/param.h early in the include list, and both of those lead to
including cdefs.h, only a couple special cases still need to include
acle-compat.h directly.

No functional changes.
compilers can emit arm instructions that require 8-byte alignment. The
alignment-sensitive instructions were added in armv5, which has to be
supported by our combined v4/v5 kernels, so the value is set uncoditionally
for all arm architecture versions.
Also adjust the comment to explain in more detail why the macros have the
form and values they do.
Per advice from bde@, maintain the unsignedness of the value of _ALIGNBYTES
(but do so using his second choice of allowing sizeof() to supply the
unsignedness, rather than just hardcoding '8U', which in my mind would
require an even more verbose comment to explain why it's right). Also
explain in the comment that the resulting type of _ALIGN() is equivelent
to uinptr_t on arm (32-bit unsigned int), but it's purposely spelled as
"unsigned" to avoid problems with including other header files. Even
including machine/_types.h to allow use of __uintptr_t causes compilation
failures because of this header being included (indirectly) in asm code.

and R/W emulation aborts under pmap lock.
There were two reasons for using of atomic operations:
(1) the pmap code is based on i386 one where they are used,
(2) there was an idea that access and R/W emulation aborts should be
handled as quick as possible, without pmap locking.
However, the atomic operations in i386 pmap code are used only because
page table entries may be modified by hardware. At the beginning, we
were not sure that it's the only reason. So even if arm hardware does
not modify them, we did not risk to not use them at that time. Further,
it turns out after some testing that using of pmap lock for access and
R/W emulation aborts does not bring any extra cost and there was no
measurable difference. Thus, we have decided finally to use pmap lock
for all operations on page table entries and so, there is no reason for
atomic operations on them. This makes the code cleaner and safer.
This decision introduce a question if it's safe to use pmap lock for
access and R/W emulation aborts. Anyhow, there may happen two cases in
general:
(A) Aborts while the pmap lock is locked already - this should not
happen as pmap lock is not recursive. However, under pmap lock only
internal kernel data should be accessed and such data should be mapped
with A bit set and NM bit cleared. If double abort happens, then
a mapping of data which has caused it must be fixed.
(B) Aborts while another lock(s) is/are locked - this already can
happen. There is no difference here if it's either access or R/W
emulation abort, or if it's some other abort.

(1) New struct intr_map_data is defined as a container for arbitrary
description of an interrupt used by a device. Typically, an interrupt
number and configuration relevant to an interrupt controller is encoded
in such description. However, any additional information may be encoded
too like a set of cpus on which an interrupt should be enabled or vendor
specific data needed for setup of an interrupt in controller. The struct
intr_map_data itself is meant to be opaque for INTRNG.
(2) An intr_map_irq() function is created which takes an interrupt
controller identification and struct intr_map_data as arguments and
returns global interrupt number which identifies an interrupt.
(3) A set of functions to be used by bus drivers is created as well as
a corresponding set of methods for interrupt controller drivers. These
sets take both struct resource and struct intr_map_data as one of the
arguments. There is a goal to keep struct intr_map_data in struct
resource, however, this way a final solution is not limited to that.
(4) Other small changes are done to reflect new situation.
This is only first step aiming to create stable interface for interrupt
controller drivers. Thus, some temporary solution is taken. Interrupt
descriptions for devices are stored in INTRNG and two specific mapping
function are created to be temporary used by bus drivers. That's why
the struct intr_map_data is not opaque for INTRNG now. This temporary
solution will be replaced by final one in next step.
