ede2fb9751 In the common case, pmap_enter_quick() completes without sleeping.
In such cases, the busying of the page and the unlocking of the
containing object by vm_map_pmap_enter() and vm_fault_prefault() is
unnecessary overhead.  To eliminate this overhead, this change
modifies pmap_enter_quick() so that it expects the object to be locked
on entry and it assumes the responsibility for busying the page and
unlocking the object if it must sleep.  Note: alpha, amd64, i386 and
ia64 are the only implementations optimized by this change; arm,
powerpc, and sparc64 still conservatively busy the page and unlock the
object within every pmap_enter_quick() call.

Additionally, this change is the first case where we synchronize
access to the page's PG_BUSY flag and busy field using the containing
object's lock rather than the global page queues lock.  (Modifications
to the page's PG_BUSY flag and busy field have asserted both locks for
several weeks, enabling an incremental transition.)

4e33a39313 Pass VM_ALLOC_NOBUSY to vm_page_grab() so that we don't have to call
vm_page_flag_clear(PG_BUSY).  The object lock is held the entire time.
Thus, whether or not the PG_BUSY flag is set is invisible to others.

efea860c4d PNP BIOS devices are fundamentally different than ISA PNP devices.
These devices should be probed first because they are at fixed
locations and cannot be turned off.  ISA PNP devices, on the other
hand, can be turned off and often can be flexible in the resources
they use.  Probe them last, as always.

c106bd9120 Change gdb_cpu_setreg() to not take the value to which to set the
specified register, but a pointer to the in-memory representation of
that value. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Not all registers can be represented by a register_t. In particular
   FP registers fall in that category. Passing the new register value
   by reference instead of by value makes this point moot.
2. When we receive a G or P packet, both are for writing a register,
   the packet will have the register value in target-byte order and
   in the memory representation (modulo the fact that bytes are sent
   as 2 printable hexadecimal numbers of course). We only need to
   decode the packet to have a pointer to the register value.

This change fixes the bug of extracting the register value of the P
packet as a hexadecimal number instead of as a bit array. The quick
(and dirty) fix to bswap the register value in gdb_cpu_setreg() as
it has been added on i386 and amd64 can therefore be removed and has
in fact been that.

5883c14f19 o sparc64/isa/isa.c:
- The claim in the commit log of rev. 1.11 of dev/uart/uart_cpu_sparc64.c
    etc. that UARTs are the only relevant ISA devices on sparc64 turned out
    to be false. While there are sparc64 models where UARTs are the only
    devices on the ISA bus there are in fact also low-cost models where all
    devices traditionally found on the EBus are hooked up to the ISA bus.
    There are also models that use a mix between EBus and ISA devices with
    things like an AT keyboard controller and other rather interesting
    devices that we might want to support in the futute hook up to the ISA
    bus.
    In order to not need to add sparc64 specific device_identify methods to
    all of the respective ISA drivers and also not add OFW specific code to
    the common ISA code make the sparc64 ISA bus code fake up PnP devices so
    most ISA drivers probe their devices without further changes.
    Unfortunately Sun doesn't adhere to the ISA bindings defined in IEEE
    1275-1994 for the properties of most of the ISA devices which would
    allow to obtain the vendor and logical IDs from their properties. So we
    we just use a simple table which maps the name properties to PnP IDs.
    This could be done in a more sophisticated way but I courrently don't
    see the need for this. [1]
  - Add the children with fully mapped and specified resources (in the OFW
    sense) similar to what is done in the EBus code for the IRQ resources
    of the children as adjusting the resources and the resource list entries
    respectively in isa_alloc_resource() as done perviously causes trouble
    with drivers which use rman_get_start(), pass-through or allocate and
    release resources multiple times, etc.
    Adjusting the resources might be better off in a bus_activate_resource
    method but the common ISA code currently doesn't allow for an
    isa_activate_resource(). [2]
    With this change:
    - ppbus(4) and lpt(4) attach and work (modulo ECP mode, which requires
      real ISADMA code but it currently only consists of stubs on sparc64).
    - atkbdc(4) and atkbdc(4) attach, no further testing done.
    - fdc(4) itself attaches but causes a hang while attaching fd0 also
      when is DMA disabled, further work in fdc(4) is required here as e.g.
      fd0 uses the address of fd1 on sparc64 (not sure if sparc64 supports
      more than one floppy drive at all).
    All of these drivers previously caused panics in the sparc64 ISA code.
  - Minor changes, e.g. use __FBSDID, remove a dupe word in a comment and
    declare one global variable which isn't used outside of isa.c static.
o dev/uart/uart_cpu_sparc64.c and modules/uart/Makefile:
  - Remove the code for registering the UARTs on the ISA bus from the
    sparc64 uart_cpu_identify() again and rely on probing them via PnP.

2686579ad5 o Sync with the NetBSD mk48txx driver (the result simplyfies some changes
I have in mind for the genclock interface):
  - Recognize the MK48T18 as well (differs from the MK48T08 only in
    packaging options and voltages).
  - Allow MD code to provide functions for reading/writing NVRAM/RTC
    locations.
    If passed NULL, the old behaviour using bus_space_{read,write}_1() is
    used. Otherwise, all access to the chip goes via the MD functions.
    This is necessary for mvmeppc boards where the mk48txx NVRAM/RTC is
    not directly addressable.
  - Cleanup MI mk48txx(4) todclock driver:
    - Prepare mk48txxvar.h and leave only register definitions in
      mk48txxreg.h.
    - Define struct mk48txx_softc as usual devices and allocate necessary
      members in it.
    - Change mk48txx_attach() to only take a device_t.
o While converting the sparc64 eeprom driver to the above changes:
  - Remove some dead code and stale comments.
  - Use the NVRAM size provided by the mk48txx driver instead of hardcoding
    it as suggested by a comment.
  - Add a comment about why it doesn't make much sense to read the hostid
    directly from the NVRAM except for displaying it when attaching.
  - Don't print the hostid if it reads all zero because it's stored
    elsewhere.

25b80a64b9 The synchronization provided by vm object locking has eliminated the
need for most calls to vm_page_busy().  Specifically, most calls to
vm_page_busy() occur immediately prior to a call to vm_page_remove().
In such cases, the containing vm object is locked across both calls.
Consequently, the setting of the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is not even
visible to other threads that are following the synchronization
protocol.

This change (1) eliminates the calls to vm_page_busy() that
immediately precede a call to vm_page_remove() or functions, such as
vm_page_free() and vm_page_rename(), that call it and (2) relaxes the
requirement in vm_page_remove() that the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is
set.  Now, the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is set only when the vm object
lock is released while the vm page is still in transition.  Typically,
this is when it is undergoing I/O.

a9860ec891 - Change the ddb paging "support" to use a variable (db_lines_per_page) to
control the number of lines per page rather than a constant.  The variable
  can be examined and changed in ddb as '$lines'.  Setting the variable to
  0 will effectively turn off paging.
- Change db_putchar() to force out pending whitespace before outputting
  newlines and carriage returns so that one can rub out content on the
  current line via '\r     \r' type strings.
- Change the simple pager to rub out the --More-- prompt explicitly when
  the routine exits.
- Add some aliases to the simple pager to make it more compatible with
  more(1): 'e' and 'j' do a single line.  'd' does half a page, and
  'f' does a full page.

cs4231 driver and heavily modified to incorporate into sound(4)
infrastructure. Due to the lack of APCDMA documentation, the DMA
code of SBus cs4231 came from OpenBSD's driver.
The driver runs without Giant lock and supports both SBus and EBus
based CS4231 audio controller. Special thanks to marius for providing
feedbacks during the driver writing. His feedback made it possible
to write hiccup free playback code under high system loads.

f4c1d5275d This along with v1.6 of counter.c fixes some timecounter issues on
MP machines (hopefully).  CPU timers are OK on UP machines but we
don't keep the timers in sync on MP machines so if the CPU's timer
is chosen as the primary timecounter it's possible for time to
not be monotonically increasing because different CPU's counters
may be used at different times.  But the CPU's counters are otherwise
one of the higher quality counters available.  So, on UP machines
we'll use a relatively high quality value but on MP machines we'll
use a quality that should prevent the CPU's counters from being chosen.

example the maximum segment size is 64K while the boundary is set
to 8K due to controller limitations. It is impossible to NOT cross

So, once we inherited the boundary from the parent tag, make sure

5813d27029 Refactor a bunch of scheduler code to give basically the same behaviour
but with slightly cleaned up interfaces.

The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler
private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great
one is #defined as the other at this time.

The KSE (or td_sched) structure is  now allocated per thread and has no
allocation code of its own.

Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters
rather than using KSE structures as tokens.

Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c
is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the
scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure.

The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's
queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure.
(per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the
scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except
the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental
schedulers with completely different internal structuring.

A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that
notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp
should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also
used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with
10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process
with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above
NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many
onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop
their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated.

Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as
linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance
but I will work to recover as much of it as I can.

Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly.
exit and exec code now transitions a process back to
'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.

01fd13440d Move the kernel-specific logic to adjust frompc from MI to MD. For
these two reasons:
1. On ia64 a function pointer does not hold the address of the first
   instruction of a functions implementation. It holds the address
   of a function descriptor. Hence the user(), btrap(), eintr() and
   bintr() prototypes are wrong for getting the actual code address.
2. The logic forces interrupt, trap and exception entry points to
   be layed-out contiguously. This can not be achieved on ia64 and is
   generally just bad programming.

The MCOUNT_FROMPC_USER macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address which represents any frompc that falls outside
the kernel text range. The macro can expand to ~0U to bail out in
that case.
The MCOUNT_FROMPC_INTR macro is used to set the frompc argument to
some kernel address to represent a call to a trap or interrupt
handler. This to avoid that the trap or interrupt handler appear to
be called from everywhere in the call graph. The macro can expand
to ~0U to prevent adjusting frompc. Note that the argument is selfpc,
not frompc.

This commit defines the macros on all architectures equivalently to
the original code in sys/libkern/mcount.c. People can take it from
here...

  standard properties "reg", "interrupts" und "address" are not covered by
  this interface because they are only of interest in the respective bridge
  code. There's a remaining standard property "status" which is unclear how
  to support properly but which also isn't used in FreeBSD at present.
  This ofw_bus kobj-interface allows to replace the various (ebus_get_node(),
  ofw_pci_get_node(), etc.) and partially inconsistent (central_get_type()
  vs. sbus_get_device_type(), etc.) existing IVAR ones with a common one.
  This in turn allows to simplify and remove code-duplication in drivers for
  devices that can hang off of more than one OFW supported bus.
- Convert the sparc64 Central, EBus, FHC, PCI and SBus bus drivers and the
  drivers for their children to use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. The IVAR-
  interfaces of the Central, EBus and FHC are entirely replaced by this. The
  PCI bus driver used its own kobj-interface and now also uses the ofw_bus
  one. The IVARs special to the SBus, e.g. for retrieving the burst size,
  remain.
  Beware: this causes an ABI-breakage for modules of drivers which used the
  IVAR-interfaces, i.e. esp(4), hme(4), isp(4) and uart(4), which need to be
  recompiled.
  The style-inconsistencies introduced in some of the bus drivers will be
  fixed by tmm@ in a generic clean-up of the respective drivers later (he
  requested to add the changes in the "new" style).
- Convert the powerpc MacIO bus driver and the drivers for its children to
  use the ofw_bus kobj-interface. This invloves removing the IVARs related
  to the "reg" property which were unused and a leftover from the NetBSD
  origini of the code. There's no ABI-breakage caused by this because none
  of these driver are currently built as modules.
  There are other powerpc bus drivers which can be converted to the ofw_bus
  kobj-interface, e.g. the PCI bus driver, which should be done together
  with converting powerpc to use the OFW PCI code from sparc64.
- Make the SBus and FHC front-end of zs(4) and the sparc64 eeprom(4) take
  advantage of the ofw_bus kobj-interface and simplify them a bit.

fbbaea5f90 Add __elfN(dump_thread). This function is called from __elfN(coredump)
to allow dumping per-thread machine specific notes. On ia64 we use this
function to flush the dirty registers onto the backingstore before we
write out the PRSTATUS notes.

Tested on: alpha, amd64, i386, ia64 & sparc64
Not tested on: arm, powerpc

5d60b8ae07 Add pmap locking to many of the functions.
Implement the protection check required by the pmap_extract_and_hold()
specification.

Remove the acquisition and release of Giant from pmap_extract_and_hold() and
pmap_protect().

Many thanks to Ken Smith for resolving a sparc64-specific initialization
problem in my original patch.
