isn't optimal since it doesn't scale. Fixing this for amd64 looks to be
fairly easy, but for i386 will be quite difficult.

FULL_PREEMPTION is defined. Add a runtime warning to ULE if PREEMPTION is
enabled (code inspired by the PREEMPTION warning in kern_switch.c). This
is a possible MT5 candidate.
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...

The C code assumes that the carry bit is always kept from the previous
operation. However, the pointer indexing requires another add operation.
Thus, the carry bit from the first operation is tromped over by the
"addl" operation that ends up following it, so the "adcl" that follows
that has no effect because the carry bit is cleared before it.
The result is checksum failure on received packets.
The larger issue is that there isn't any other way of preventing the compiler
inserting arbitrary instructions between different __asm statements (and
that the commit message in revision 1.13 of in_cksum.h is wrong on
this point). From

You can't expect a sequence of volatile asm instructions to remain
perfectly consecutive. If you want consecutive output, use a single
asm. Also, GCC will perform some optimizations across a volatile
asm instruction; GCC does not "forget everything" when it encounters
a volatile asm instruction the way some other compilers do.

Also, this change also makes the ASM code much easier to read.

logical CPUs on a system to be used as a dedicated watchdog to cause a
drop to the debugger and/or generate an NMI to the boot processor if
the kernel ceases to respond. A sysctl enables the watchdog running
out of the processor's idle thread; a callout is launched to reset a
timer in the watchdog. If the callout fails to reset the timer for ten
seconds, the watchdog will fire. The sysctl allows you to select which
CPU will run the watchdog.
A sample "debug.leak_schedlock" is included, which causes a sysctl to
spin holding sched_lock in order to trigger the watchdog. On my Xeons,
the watchdog is able to detect this failure mode and break into the
debugger, which cannot otherwise be done without an NMI button.
This option does not currently work with sched_ule due to ule's push
notion of scheduling, similar to machdep.hlt_logical_cpus failing to
work with that scheduler.
On face value, this might seem somewhat inefficient, but there are a
lot of dual-processor Xeons with HTT around, so using one as a watchdog
for testing is not as inefficient as one might fear.

This knocks 900ns, or roughly 1350 cycles, off of the time spent servicing an
interrupt in the common case on my 1.5GHz P4 uniprocessor system. SMP systems
likely won't see as much of a gain due to the ioapic being more efficient than

Most of the changes are a direct result of adding thread awareness.
Typically, DDB_REGS is gone. All registers are taken from the
trapframe and backtraces use the PCB based contexts. DDB_REGS was
defined to be a trapframe on all platforms anyway.
Thread awareness introduces the following new commands:
thread X switch to thread X (where X is the TID),
show threads list all threads.
The backtrace code has been made more flexible so that one can
create backtraces for any thread by giving the thread ID as an
argument to trace.
With this change, ia64 has support for breakpoints.

Besides providing services to backends, it also serves as the single
point of contact for any and all code that wants to make use of the
debugger functions, such as entering the debugger or handling of the
alternate break sequence. For this purpose, the frontend has been
made non-optional.
All debugger requests are forwarded or handed over to the current
backend, if applicable. Selection of the current backend is done by
the debug.kdb.current sysctl. A list of configured backends can be
obtained with the debug.kdb.available sysctl. One can enter the
debugger by writing to the debug.kdb.enter sysctl.

- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

clobber lists are still more conservative than necessary.
- drop the non-support for gcc-1. It just gave a better error message,
and this is not useful since compiling with gcc-1 would cause thousands
of worse error messages.

- Require the APIC enumerators to explicitly enable mixed mode by calling
ioapic_enable_mixed_mode(). Calling this function tells the apic driver
that the PC-AT 8259A PICs are present and routable through the first I/O
APIC via an ExtINT pin. The mptable enumerator always calls this
function for now. The MADT enumerator only enables mixed mode if the
PC-AT compatability flag is set in the MADT header.
- Allow mixed mode to be enabled or disabled via a 'hw.apic.mixed_mode'
tunable. By default this tunable is set to 1 (true). The kernel option
NO_MIXED_MODE changes the default to 0 to preserve existing behavior, but
adding 'hw.apic.mixed_mode=0' to loader.conf achieves the same effect.
- Only use mixed mode to route IRQ 0 if it is both enabled by the APIC
enumerator and activated by the loader tunable. Note that both
conditions must be true, so if the APIC enumerator does not enable mixed
mode, then you can't set the tunable to try to override the enumerator.

polarity rather than the edge/high values we use for all other ISA
IRQs.
- Rework the tunables available to override the MADT. The

are now two tunables that can independently override the trigger mode
and/or polarity of the SCI. The hw.acpi.sci.trigger tunable can be
set to either "edge" or "level", and the hw.acpi.sci.polarity tunable
can be set to either "high" or "low". To simulate hw.acpi.force_sci_lo,
set hw.acpi.sci.trigger to "level" and hw.acpi.sci.polarity to "low".
If you are having problems with ACPI either causing an interrupt storm

register controlled the trigger mode and polarity of EISA interrupts.
However, it appears that most (all?) PCI systems use the ELCR to manage
the trigger mode and polarity of ISA interrupts as well since ISA IRQs used
to route PCI interrupts need to be level triggered with active low
polarity. We check to see if the ELCR exists by sanity checking the value
we get back ensuring that IRQS 0 (8254), 1 (atkbd), 2 (the link from the
slave PIC), and 8 (RTC) are all clear indicating edge trigger and active
high polarity.
This mini-driver will be used by the atpic driver to manage the trigger and
polarity of ISA IRQs. Also, the mptable parsing code will use this mini
driver rather than examining the ELCR directly.
