The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

As clearly mentioned on the mailing lists, there is a list of drivers
that have not been ported to the MPSAFE TTY layer yet. Remove them from
the kernel configuration files. This means people can now still use
these drivers if they explicitly put them in their kernel configuration

People should keep in mind that after August 10, these drivers will not
work anymore. Even though owners of the hardware are capable of getting
these drivers working again, I will see if I can at least get them to a
compilable state (if time permits).
Now that st_rdev is being automatically generated by the kernel, there

The new (optional) MD functions are:

frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.

Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if

Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()

This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.
Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.
In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from
the KDMKTONE ioctl in terms if 1/1193182th second, so we hardcode
the 1193182 and leave it at that. It's probably not important.
Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.
This eliminates the knowledge of i8254_freq from all but the actual
clock.c code and the prof_machdep.c on amd64 and i386, where I think
it would be smart to ask for help from the timecounters anyway [TBD].

occur in between the interrupt getting masked and the ithread getting
scheduled. Since the interrupt handler runs in the context of curthread,
the scheudler might see it as having a such a low priority on a busy system
that it doesn't get to run for a _long_ time, leaving the interrupt stranded
in a disabled state. The only way that the preemption can happen is by
a fast/filter handler triggering a schduling event earlier in the handler,
so this problem can only happen for cases where an interrupt is being
shared by both a fast/filter handler and an ithread handler. Unfortunately,

Under "normal" circumstances, i.e., when the file is not mlock(2)ed, the

mlock(2)ed, the pages beyond the EOF are unmapped but not freed because
they have a non-zero wire count. This can be a mistake. Specifically,
it is a mistake if the sole reason why the pages are wired is because of

wired, managed mappings, but does not reduce the pages' wire count.
Consequently, when the file is unmapped, the pages are not unwired
because the wired mapping has been destroyed. Moreover, when the vm

wired. The fix is to reduce the pages' wired count by the number of
wired, managed mappings destroyed. To do this, I introduce a new pmap

As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno

with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.
The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

This is for the most part because uma_small_alloc() pages have never been

be. This changes fixes that.
It is no longer necessary for the page queues lock to be held to free

o Decouple the interrupt vector from the interrupt request line.

This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).
The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.
This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.
Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

This change moves the buffer from struct pcpu to the stack to avoid
using the critical section which created a LOR in a couple of cases
due to interaction with the tty code and kqueue. The LOR can't be

without the critical section.
Putting the buffer on the stack was my initial solution, but it was
pointed out that the stress on the stack might cause problems

For the record, the KDTRACE option caused _no_ additional source files
to be compiled in; certainly no CDDL source files. All it did was to
allow existing BSD licensed kernel files to include one or more CDDL
header files.
By removing this from DEFAULTS, the onus is on a kernel builder to add
the option to the kernel config, possibly by including GENERIC and
customising from there. It means that DTrace won't be a feature
available in FreeBSD by default, which is the way I intended it to be.
Without this option, you can't load the dtrace module (which contains
the dtrace device and the DTrace framework). This is equivalent to
requiring an option in a kernel config before you can load the linux
emulation module, for example.
I think it is a mistake to have DTrace ported to FreeBSD, but not
to have it available to everyone, all the time. The only exception
to this is the companies which distribute systems with FreeBSD embedded.
Those companies will customise their systems anyway. The KDTRACE
option was intended for them, and only them.

which have the dtrace_ prefix to allow the DTrace FBT (function boundary
trace) provider to avoid tracing because they are called from the DTtrace
probe context.
Unlike other forms of tracing and debug, DTrace support in the kernel
incurs negligible run-time cost.
I think the only reason why anyone wouldn't want to have kernel support
enabled for DTrace would be due to the license (CDDL) under which DTrace
is released.

To avoid putting a buffer on the stack or having to malloc one,

String writes to the console are buffered up the end of the line
or until the buffer fills. Then the buffer is flushed to all
console devices.
Existing low level console output via cnputc() is unaffected by
this change. ithread calls to log() are also unaffected to avoid
blocking those threads.
A minor change to the behaviour in a panic situation is that
console output will still be buffered, but won't be written to
a tty as before. This should prevent interspersed panic output
as a number of CPUs panic before we end up single threaded
