region protected by the simplelock 'cpl_lock'.
Notes:
- this code is currently controlled on a section by section basis with
defines in machine/param.h. All sections are currently enabled.
- this code is not as clean as I would like, but that can wait till later.
- the "giant lock" still surrounds most instances of this "cpl region".
I still have to do the code that arbitrates setting cpl between the
top and bottom halves of the kernel.
- the possibility of deadlock exists, I am committing the code at this
point so as to exercise it and detect any such cases B4 the "giant lock"
is removed.
Made NEW_STRATEGY default.
Removed misc. old cruft.
Centralized simple locks into mp_machdep.c
Centralized simple lock macros into param.h
More cleanup in the direction of making splxx()/cpl MP-safe.
Several new fine-grained locks.
New FAST_INTR() methods:
- separate simplelock for FAST_INTR, no more giant lock.
- FAST_INTR()s no longer checks ipending on way out of ISR.
sio made MP-safe (I hope).
- removed TEST_ALTTIMER.
- removed APIC_PIN0_TIMER.
- removed TIMER_ALL.
apic_vector.s:
- new algorithm where a CPU uses try_mplock instead of get_mplock:
if successful continue as before.
if fail set ipending bit, mask INT (to avoid recursion), cleanup & iret.
This allows the CPU to return to successful work, while the ISR will be run
by the CPU holding the lock as part of the doreti dance.
- s_lock_init()
- s_lock()
- s_lock_try()
- s_unlock()
Created lock for IO APIC and apic_imen (SMP version of imen)
- imen_lock
Code to use imen_lock for access from apic_ipl.s and apic_vector.s.
Moved this code *outside* of mp_lock.
It seems to work!!!
- added Xcpustop IPI code to support stop_cpus()/restart_cpus().
it is off by default, enable via smptests.h:TEST_CPUSTOP
intr_machdep.h:
- moved +ICULEN to lower level.
- added entry for Xcpustop.
This eliminates a lot of #ifdef SMP type code. Things like _curproc reside
in a data page that is unique on each cpu, eliminating the expensive macros
like: #define curproc (SMPcurproc[cpunumber()])
There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is
standalone so it should be safe. The temporary code goes away when the
full idle cpu support is finished.

top of the hardware interrupt handlers. Apparently this is slightly
faster with the bit scanning instruction that looks these up - this set of
changes reverts the original change.

- vector.s <- stub called by i386/exception.s
- icu_vector.s <- UP
- apic_vector.s <- SMP
Split icu.s into UP and SMP specific files:
- ipl.s <- stub called by i386/exception.s (formerly icu.s)
- icu_ipl.s <- UP
- apic_ipl.s <- SMP
This was done in preparation for massive changes to the SMP INTerrupt
mechanisms. More fine tuning, such as merging ipl.s into exception.s,
may be appropriate.
