This allows us to run on hardware configurations for which the

excluded, as it's used by MI code) and mode the sysctl variables from
pcpu_stats to pcpu_md.
Adjust all references accordingly.
While nearby, change the PCPU sysctl tree so that they match the CPU
device sysctl tree -- they are now children of a static node called
"machdep.cpu" and are named only with their cpu ID.
allocating MAXCPU VHPTs up-front. This allows us to max-out MAXCPU
without memory waste -- MAXCPU is now 32 for SMP kernels.
This change also eliminates the VHPT scaling based in the total
memory in the system. It's the workload that determines the best size
of the VHPT. The workload can be affected by the amount of memory,
but not necessarily. For example, there's no performance difference
between VHPT sizes of 256KB, 512KB and 1MB when building the LINT
kernel. This was observed with a system that has 8GB of memory.
By default the kernel will allocate a 1MB VHPT. The user can tune the
system with the "machdep.vhpt.log2size" tunable.
adding statistics counters to the PCPU structure. Export the counters
through sysctl by giving each PCPU structure its own sysctl context.
While here, fix cnt.v_intr by not just having it count clock interrupts,
but every interrupt and add more counters for each interrupt source.
- Rename PCPU_LAZY_INC into PCPU_INC
- Add the PCPU_ADD interface which just does an add on the pcpu member
given a specific value.
Note that for most architectures PCPU_INC and PCPU_ADD are not safe.
This is a point that needs some discussions/work in the next days.

Change the pc_pcb field from a pointer to struct pcb to struct pcb
so that sizeof(struct pcb) includes the PCB we use for IPI_STOP.
Statically declare early_pcb so that we don't have to allocate the
PCB for thread0. This way we can setup the PCPU before cninit()
and thus before we use printf().
o Remove alpha specific timer code (mc146818A) and compiled-out
calibration of said timer.
o Remove i386 inherited timer code (i8253) and related acquire and
release functions.
o Move sysbeep() from clock.c to machdep.c and have it return
ENODEV. Console beeps should be implemented using ACPI or if no
such device is described, using the sound driver.
o Move the sysctls related to adjkerntz, disable_rtc_set and
wall_cmos_clock from machdep.c to clock.c, where the variables
are.
o Don't hardcode a hz value of 1024 in cpu_initclocks() and don't
bother faking a stathz that's 1/8 of that. Keep it simple: hz
defaults to HZ and stathz equals hz. This is also how it's done
for sparc64.
o Keep a per-CPU ITC counter (pc_clock) and adjustment (pc_clockadj)
to calculate ITC skew and corrections. On average, we adjust the
ITC match register once every ~1500 interrupts for a duration of
2 consequtive interruprs. This is to correct the non-deterministic
behaviour of the ITC interrupt (there's a delay between the match
and the raising of the interrupt).
o Add 4 debugging sysctls to monitor clock behaviour. Those are
debug.clock_adjust_edges, debug.clock_adjust_excess,
debug.clock_adjust_lost and debug.clock_adjust_ticks. The first
counts the individual adjustment cycles (when the skew first
crosses the threshold), the second counts the number of times the
adjustment was excessive (any non-zero value is to be considered
a bug), the third counts lost clock interrupts and the last counts
the number of interrupts for which we applied an adjustment
(debug.clock_adjust_ticks / debug.clock_adjust_edges gives the
avarage duration of an individual adjustment -- should be ~2).
While here, remove some nearby (trivial) left-overs from alpha and
other cleanups.
- The MI portions of struct globaldata have been consolidated into a MI
struct pcpu. The MD per-CPU data are specified via a macro defined in
machine/pcpu.h. A macro was chosen over a struct mdpcpu so that the
interface would be cleaner (PCPU_GET(my_md_field) vs.
PCPU_GET(md.md_my_md_field)).
- All references to globaldata are changed to pcpu instead. In a UP kernel,
this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name
came from. In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each
CPU outside of the context of debuggers. This also included combining
machine/globaldata.h and machine/globals.h into machine/pcpu.h.
- The pointer to the thread using the FPU on i386 was renamed from
npxthread to fpcurthread to be identical with other architectures.
- Make the show pcpu ddb command MI with a MD callout to display MD
fields.
- The globaldata_register() function was renamed to pcpu_init() and now
init's MI fields of a struct pcpu in addition to registering it with
the internal array and list.
- A pcpu_destroy() function was added to remove a struct pcpu from the
internal array and list.

to support Alpha SMP.
- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's. The IPI API's from
machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.

- Introduce lock classes and lock objects. Each lock class specifies a
name and set of flags (or properties) shared by all locks of a given
type. Currently there are three lock classes: spin mutexes, sleep
mutexes, and sx locks. A lock object specifies properties of an
additional lock along with a lock name and all of the extra stuff needed
to make witness work with a given lock. This abstract lock stuff is
defined in sys/lock.h. The lockmgr constants, types, and prototypes have
been moved to sys/lockmgr.h. For temporary backwards compatability,
sys/lock.h includes sys/lockmgr.h.
- Replace proc->p_spinlocks with a per-CPU list, PCPU(spinlocks), of spin
locks held. By making this per-cpu, we do not have to jump through
magic hoops to deal with sched_lock changing ownership during context
switches.
- Replace proc->p_heldmtx, formerly a list of held sleep mutexes, with
proc->p_sleeplocks, which is a list of held sleep locks including sleep
mutexes and sx locks.
- Add helper macros for logging lock events via the KTR_LOCK KTR logging
level so that the log messages are consistent.
- Add some new flags that can be passed to mtx_init():
- MTX_NOWITNESS - specifies that this lock should be ignored by witness.
This is used for the mutex that blocks a sx lock for example.
- MTX_QUIET - this is not new, but you can pass this to mtx_init() now
and no events will be logged for this lock, so that one doesn't have
to change all the individual mtx_lock/unlock() operations.
- All lock objects maintain an initialized flag. Use this flag to export
a mtx_initialized() macro that can be safely called from drivers. Also,
we on longer walk the all_mtx list if MUTEX_DEBUG is defined as witness
performs the corresponding checks using the initialized flag.
- The lock order reversal messages have been improved to output slightly
more accurate file and line numbers.
