IRQ0 routing on LAPIC-enabled systems.
Add hint.apic.0.clock tunable. Setting it 0 disables using LAPIC timers
as hard-/stat-/profclock sources falling back to using i8254 and rtc timers.
On modern CPUs LAPIC is a part of CPU core which is shutting down when CPU
enters C3 or deeper power state. It makes no problems for interrupt
processing, as chipset wakes up CPU on interrupt triggering. But entering
C3 state kills LAPIC timer and freezes system time, making C3 and deeper
states practically unusable. Using i8254 timer allows to avoid this
problem.
By using i8254 timer my T7700 C2D CPU with UP kernel successfully enters
C3 state, saving more then a Watt of total idle power (>10%) in addition to
all other power-saving techniques.
This technique is not working for SMP yet, as only one CPU receives
timer interrupts. But I think that problem could be fixed by forwarding
interrupts to other CPUs with IPI.
Old implemention used Giant to protect the kernel data structures,
but at the same time called malloc(M_WAITOK), that could cause the
calling thread to sleep and lost Giant protection. User-visible
result was the missed wakeup.
New implementation uses one sx lock per futex. The sx protects
the futex structures and allows to sleep while copyin or copyout
are performed.
Unlike linux, we return EINVAL when FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation
is requested and either caller specified futexes are equial or
second futex already exists. This is acceptable since the situation
can only occur from the application error, and glibc falls back to
old FUTEX_WAKE operation when FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE returns an error.
