WB (write-back) on x86 via control bits in PTEs and PDEs (including making
use of the PAT MSR). Changes include:
- A new pmap_mapdev_attr() function for amd64 and i386 which takes an
additional parameter (relative to pmap_mapdev()) specifying the cache
mode for this mapping. Note that on amd64 only WB mappings are done with
the direct map, all other modes result in a private mapping.
- pmap_mapdev() on i386 and amd64 now defaults to using UC (uncached)
mappings rather than WB. Previously we relied on the BIOS setting up
MTRR's to enforce memio regions being treated as UC. This might make
hw.cbb_start_memory unnecessary in some cases now for example.
- A new pmap_mapbios()/pmap_unmapbios() API has been added to allow places
that used pmap_mapdev() to map non-device memory (such as ACPI tables)
to do so using WB as before.
- A new pmap_change_attr() function for amd64 and i386 that changes the
caching mode for a range of KVA.

per page = effectively 12.19 bytes per pv entry after overheads).
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 24 byte pv entries (two 8-byte tailq
nodes, a 4 byte pointer, and a 4 byte address), we allocate a page at a
time per process. This provides 336 pv entries per process (actually, per
pmap address space) and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since
we now can track per-process pv entries implicitly. The pointer to
the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to find the metadata
on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by all 336 entries.
There is an 11-int bitmap for the freelist of those 336 entries.
This is mostly a mechanical conversion from amd64, except:
* i386 has to allocate kvm and map the pages, amd64 has them outside of kvm
* native word size is smaller, so bitmaps etc become 32 bit instead of 64
* no dump_add_page() etc stuff because they are in kvm always.
* various pmap internals tweaks because pmap uses direct map on amd64 but
on i386 it has to use sched_pin and temporary mappings.
Also, sysctl vm.pmap.pv_entry_max and vm.pmap.shpgperproc are now
dynamic sysctls. Like on amd64, i386 can now tune the pv entry limits
without a recompile or reboot.
This is important because of the following scenario. If you have a 1GB
file (262144 pages) mmap()ed into 50 processes, that requires 13 million
pv entries. At 24 bytes per pv entry, that is 314MB of ram and kvm, while
at 12 bytes it is 157MB. A 157MB saving is significant.

Major differences:
* since there is no direct map region, there is no custom uma memory
allocator to modify to include its pages in the dumps.
* Various data entries are reduced from 64 bit to 32 bit to match the
native size.
dump_add_page() and dump_drop_page() are still present in case one wants to
arrange for arbitary pages to be dumped. This is of marginal use though
because libkvm+kgdb cannot address physical memory that isn't mapped into
kvm.

- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat
ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently
using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other
"hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with
local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear
if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from
somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical
clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on
certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical
cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway.
- We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via
the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC
driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be
shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the
same way that I/O APIC pins are.
- Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an
interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID.
- The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to
handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing,
it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we
wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0
for now).
- For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first
interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now
bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs.
- Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would
be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we
could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts,
or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs.
The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks
had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work
fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose
interrupts).

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

source is first enabled similar to how intr_event's now allocate ithreads
on-demand. Previously, we would map IDT vectors 1:1 to IRQs. Since we
only have 191 available IDT vectors for I/O interrupts, this limited us
to only supporting IRQs 0-190 corresponding to the first 190 I/O APIC
intpins. On many machines, however, each PCI-X bus has its own APIC even
though it only has 1 or 2 devices, thus, we were reserving between 24 and
32 IRQs just for 1 or 2 devices and thus 24 or 32 IDT vectors. With this
change, a machine with 100 IRQs but only 5 in use will only use up 5 IDT
vectors. Also, this change provides an API (apic_alloc_vector() and
apic_free_vector()) that will allow a future MSI interrupt source driver to
request IDT vectors for use by MSI interrupts on x86 machines.

and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried
in the future.
- Split struct ithd up into two pieces. struct intr_event holds the list
of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event. This
means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
no handlers. It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
intr_foo naming convention. This did require renaming the powerpc
MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
powerpc. This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
to the same interrupt. Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
either. Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
exclusively. The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
dumping their state. It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
braindead behavior. The code is present, though, it is just under
#if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more
readable. Previously this code was all in the middle of ithread_loop()
and indented halfway across the screen.
- Made struct intr_thread private to kern_intr.c and replaced td_ithd
with a thread private flag TDP_ITHREAD.
- In statclock, check curthread against idlethread directly rather than
curthread's proc against idlethread's proc. (Not really related to intr
changes)

IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI. If the kernel
option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled). This
includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of
being dependent on KDB_STOP_NMI. It works fine in both the NMI and
non-NMI cases.
- Add newer CPUID definitions for future use.
