686b1e6bc0 Small style fixes:
- Avoid side-effect assignments in if statements when possible.
- Don't use ! to check for NULL pointers, explicitly check against NULL.
- Explicitly check error return values against 0.
- Don't use INTR_MPSAFE for interrupt handlers with only filters as it is
  meaningless.
- Remove unneeded function casts.

2b89f1fc9e atrtc: remove (pre-)historic check of RTC NVRAM at address 0x0e
Old scrolls tell that once upon a time IBM AT BIOS was known to put some
useful system diagnostic information into RTC NVRAM.  It is not really
known if and for how long PC BIOSes followed that convention, but I
believe that many, if not all, modern BIOSes do not do that any more
(not mentioning other types of x86 firmware).
Some diagnostic bits don't even make any sense any longer.
The check results in confusing messages upon boot on some systems.
So I am removing it.

599cf0f197 Fix several un-/signedness bugs of r210290 and r210293. Add one more check. 2010-07-20 15:48:29 +00:00

51636352b6 Extend timer driver API to report also minimal and maximal supported period
lengths. Make MI wrapper code to validate periods in request. Make kernel
clock management code to honor these hardware limitations while choosing hz,
stathz and profhz values.

8a6870808d Rise knowledge about curthread->td_intr_frame by one step. Make timer
callback argument really opaque. Not repeat interrupt handler's problem
in case somebody will ever need to have both argument and frame.

91751b1a86 Instead of deleting existing IRQ resource, which is not really working for
ACPI bus, find wanted IRQ rid or spare one. This should fix panic during
boot on systems reporting fancy IRQ numbers for attimer and atrtc.

a7d6757c3e Allow attimer to be hinted at ISA if not reported by ISA PNP or ACPI.
Rephrase respective atrtc code same way to be more readable.

6019ba4e4b Rework r209456:
Instead of using fake rid (which ISA doesn't like), delete untrusted
IRQ resource and let it be recreated.

49ed68bbf3 Add "legacy route" support to HPET driver. When enabled, this mode makes
HPET to steal IRQ0 from i8254 and IRQ8 from RTC timers. It can be suitable
for HPETs without FSB interrupts support, as it gives them two unshared
IRQs. It allows them to provide one per-CPU event timer on dual-CPU system,
that should be suitable for further tickless kernels.

To enable it, such lines may be added to /boot/loader.conf:
hint.atrtc.0.clock=0
hint.attimer.0.clock=0
hint.hpet.0.legacy_route=1

df471e067f Fix i386 LINT build broken by r209371.
There appeared such legacy thing as APM, that somehow breaking RTC.

875b8844be Implement new event timers infrastructure. It provides unified APIs for
writing event timer drivers, for choosing best possible drivers by machine
independent code and for operating them to supply kernel with hardclock(),
statclock() and profclock() events in unified fashion on various hardware.

Infrastructure provides support for both per-CPU (independent for every CPU
core) and global timers in periodic and one-shot modes. MI management code
at this moment uses only periodic mode, but one-shot mode use planned for
later, as part of tickless kernel project.

For this moment infrastructure used on i386 and amd64 architectures. Other
archs are welcome to follow, while their current operation should not be
affected.

This patch updates existing drivers (i8254, RTC and LAPIC) for the new
order, and adds event timers support into the HPET driver. These drivers
have different capabilities:
 LAPIC - per-CPU timer, supports periodic and one-shot operation, may
freeze in C3 state, calibrated on first use, so may be not exactly precise.
 HPET - depending on hardware can work as per-CPU or global, supports
periodic and one-shot operation, usually provides several event timers.
 i8254 - global, limited to periodic mode, because same hardware used also
as time counter.
 RTC - global, supports only periodic mode, set of frequencies in Hz
limited by powers of 2.

Depending on hardware capabilities, drivers preferred in following orders,
either LAPIC, HPETs, i8254, RTC or HPETs, LAPIC, i8254, RTC.
User may explicitly specify wanted timers via loader tunables or sysctls:
kern.eventtimer.timer1 and kern.eventtimer.timer2.
If requested driver is unavailable or unoperational, system will try to
replace it. If no more timers available or "NONE" specified for second,
system will operate using only one timer, multiplying it's frequency by few
times and uing respective dividers to honor hz, stathz and profhz values,
set during initial setup.

3258030144 Introduce the new kernel sub-tree x86 which should contain all the code
shared and generalized between our current amd64, i386 and pc98.

This is just an initial step that should lead to a more complete effort.
For the moment, a very simple porting of cpufreq modules, BIOS calls and
the whole MD specific ISA bus part is added to the sub-tree but ideally
a lot of code might be added and more shared support should grow.
