- get the corresponding NetBSD Id's right
ohci.c
- move untimeout above print statement
- remove usb_delay that panics the system (tsleep in intr context) when
ohcidebug > 5.
ugen.c
- create the devices for endpoints with make_dev.
uhub.c
- change from using usbdebug to uhubdebug
- add more debugging statements
to use mmap(..., MAP_STACK, ...) on alpha too since that should work
now.

Scheduler bug fixes and reorganization
* fix the ancient nice(1) bug, where nice +20 processes incorrectly
steal 10 - 20% of the CPU, (or even more depending on load average)
* provide a new schedclk() mechanism at a new clock at schedhz, so high
platform hz values don't cause nice +0 processes to look like they are
niced
* change the algorithm slightly, and reorganize the code a lot
* fix percent-CPU calculation bugs, and eliminate some no-op code
=== nice bug === Correctly divide the scheduler queues between niced and
compute-bound processes. The current nice weight of two (sort of, see
`algorithm change' below) neatly divides the USRPRI queues in half; this
should have been used to clip p_estcpu, instead of UCHAR_MAX. Besides
being the wrong amount, clipping an unsigned char to UCHAR_MAX is a no-op,
and it was done after decay_cpu() which can only _reduce_ the value. It
has to be kept <= NICE_WEIGHT * PRIO_MAX - PPQ or processes can
scheduler-penalize themselves onto the same queue as nice +20 processes.
(Or even a higher one.)
=== New schedclk() mechansism === Some platforms should be cutting down
stathz before hitting the scheduler, since the scheduler algorithm only
works right in the vicinity of 64 Hz. Rather than prescale hz, then scale
back and forth by 4 every time p_estcpu is touched (each occurance an
abstraction violation), use p_estcpu without scaling and require schedhz
to be generated directly at the right frequency. Use a default stathz (well,
actually, profhz) / 4, so nothing changes unless a platform defines schedhz
and a new clock. Define these for alpha, where hz==1024, and nice was
totally broke.
=== Algorithm change === The nice value used to be added to the
exponentially-decayed scheduler history value p_estcpu, in _addition_ to
be incorporated directly (with greater wieght) into the priority calculation.
At first glance, it appears to be a pointless increase of 1/8 the nice
effect (pri = p_estcpu/4 + nice*2), but it's actually at least 3x that
because it will ramp up linearly but be decayed only exponentially, thus
converging to an additional .75 nice for a loadaverage of one. I killed
this, it makes the behavior hard to control, almost impossible to analyze,
and the effect (~~nothing at for the first second, then somewhat increased
niceness after three seconds or more, depending on load average) pointless.
=== Other bugs === hz -> profhz in the p_pctcpu = f(p_cpticks) calcuation.
Collect scheduler functionality. Try to put each abstraction in just one
place.
----------------------------
The details are a little different in FreeBSD:
=== nice bug === Fixing this is the main point of this commit. We use
essentially the same clipping rule as NetBSD (our limit on p_estcpu
differs by a scale factor). However, clipping at all is fundamentally
bad. It gives free CPU the hoggiest hogs once they reach the limit, and
reaching the limit is normal for long-running hogs. This will be fixed
later.
=== New schedclk() mechanism === We don't use the NetBSD schedclk()
(now schedclock()) mechanism. We require (real)stathz to be about 128
and scale by an extra factor of 2 compared with NetBSD's statclock().
We scale p_estcpu instead of scaling the clock. This is more accurate
and flexible.
=== Algorithm change === Same change.
=== Other bugs === The p_pctcpu bug was fixed long ago. We don't try as
hard to abstract functionality yet.
Related changes: the new limit on p_estcpu must be exported to kern_exit.c
for clipping in wait1().

X server, is not responding to the VT switching protocol. (This part
of the code has been somewhat wrong in -CURRENT, but -STABLE has the
correct code...)
eischen (Daniel Eischen) added wrappers to protect against cancled
threads orphaning internal resources.
the cancelability code is still a bit fuzzy but works for test
programs of my own, OpenBSD's and some examples from ORA's books.

PCI SCSI controllers. This driver also supports the following Symbios/LSI
PCI SCSI chips: 53C810A, 53C825A, 53C860, 53C875, 53C876, 53C885, 53C895.
However, it does NOT support earlier chips as the following ones: 53C810,
53C815, 53C825.
See README.sym for more details.
