That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of

Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now

o Change the alternate fault handlers to account for PBVM. Since
currently the region is handled by the VHPT, no alternate faults
will be generated for it.
Add support for Pre-Boot Virtual Memory (PBVM) to the loader.
PBVM allows us to link the kernel at a fixed virtual address without
having to make any assumptions about the physical memory layout. On
the SGI Altix 350 for example, there's no usuable physical memory
below 192GB. Also, the PBVM allows us to control better where we're
going to physically load the kernel and its modules so that we can
make sure we load the kernel in memory that's close to the BSP.
The PBVM is managed by a simple page table. The minimum size of the
page table is 4KB (EFI page size) and the maximum is currently set
to 1MB. A page in the PBVM is 64KB, as that's the maximum alignment
one can specify in a linker script. The bottom line is that PBVM is
between 64KB and 8GB in size.
The loader maps the PBVM page table at a fixed virtual address and
using a single translations. The PBVM itself is also mapped using a
single translation for a maximum of 32MB.
While here, increase the heap in the EFI loader from 512KB to 2MB
and set the stage for supporting relocatable modules.
The compiler seems to assume it's a 32-bit integral and rounding to the
page size using the standard expression (((u_long)(x) + mask) & ~mask),
results in a 32-bit value. Dropping the 'U' suffix is enough to have the
compiler treat the expression as a 64-bit integral.

can't support memory attributes easily if the granuratity is not a page.
We need to support memory attributes because the new USB stack violates

NOTE: this is broken for SMP kernels, because the AP startup code hasn't

o The bootinfo structure is now a virtual pointer.
o Replace VM_MAX_ADDRESS with VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS and redefine

work properly with single-stepping in a kernel debugger. Specifically,
these routines have always disabled interrupts before increasing the nesting
count and restored the prior state of interrupts after decreasing the nesting
count to avoid problems with a nested interrupt not disabling interrupts
when acquiring a spin lock. However, trap interrupts for single-stepping
can still occur even when interrupts are disabled. Now the saved state of
interrupts is not saved in the thread until after interrupts have been
disabled and the nesting count has been increased. Similarly, the saved
state from the thread cannot be read once the nesting count has been
decreased to zero. To fix this, use temporary variables to store interrupt
state and shuffle it between the thread's MD area and the appropriate

- Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain

- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist
(VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain.
The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures.
Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a
domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single
domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero.
This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that
fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists.
- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is
used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the
per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order

side-effect of purging more than the requested translation. While
this is not a problem in general, it invalidates the assumption made
during constructing the trapframe on entry into the kernel in SMP
configurations. The assumption is that only the first store to the
stack will possibly cause a TLB miss. Since the ptc.g purges the
translation caches of all CPUs in the coherency domain, a ptc.g
executed on one CPU can cause a purge on another CPU that is
currently running the critical code that saves the state to the
trapframe. This can cause an unexpected TLB miss and with interrupt
collection disabled this means an unexpected data nested TLB fault.
A data nested TLB fault will not save any context, nor provide a
way for software to determine what caused the TLB miss nor where
it occured. Careful construction of the kernel entry and exit code
allows us to handle a TLB miss in precisely orchastrated points
and thereby avoiding the need to wire the kernel stack, but the
unexpected TLB miss caused by the ptc.g instructution resulted in
an unrecoverable condition and resulting in machine checks.
The solution to this problem is to synchronize the kernel entry
on all CPUs with the use of the ptc.g instruction on a single CPU
by implementing a bare-bones readers-writer lock that allows N
readers (= N CPUs entering the kernel) and 1 writer (= execution
of the ptc.g instruction on some CPU). This solution wins over
a rendez-vous approach by not interrupting CPUs with an IPI.

pmap_ts_referenced() is not always appropriate for checking whether or
not pages have been referenced because it clears any reference bits
that it encounters. For example, in mincore(), clearing the reference
bits has two negative consequences. First, it throws off the activity
count calculations performed by the page daemon. Specifically, a page
on which mincore() has called pmap_ts_referenced() looks less active
to the page daemon than it should. Consequently, the page could be
deactivated prematurely by the page daemon. Arguably, this problem
could be fixed by having mincore() duplicate the activity count
calculation on the page. However, there is a second problem for which
that is not a solution. In order to clear a reference on a 4KB page,
it may be necessary to demote a 2/4MB page mapping. Thus, a mincore()
by one process can have the side effect of demoting a superpage

o Hand-inline pmap_remove_page() as it's only called from 1 place and
the abstraction that pmap_remove_page() provides is not enough to
warrant the obfuscation. Eliminate the dangerous KASSERT in the

o In pmap_remove_pte(), remove the KASSERT for pmap being the current

critical section and as such isn't protected against CPU migration.
Improve pmap_invalidate_page() as follows:
o calculate vhpt_ofs inside the critical region for exactly the same
reason.
o calculate the tag outside the FOREACH loop, as it's loop-invariant.
This is more efficient.
o Replace the test and set with an atomic cmpset operation because we
are changing other CPU's VHPT tables and this avoids invalidating
after the entry got modified. Not necessarily a problem, but better
safe than sorry.

leave immediately, so there's no harm.
preemption doesn't happen until after all pending interrupt have

While here again, simplify the EOI handling by doing it after we
call the XIV-specific handlers, rather than in each of them. The
original thought was that we may want to do an EOI first and the
actual IPI handling next, but that's mostly a micro-optimization.
cycles. This serves 2 purposes:
1. It prevents preemption and CPU migration while running SAL code.
2. It reduces the chance of stack overflows: we're supposed to enter
SAL with at least 16KB of either memory- or register stack space,
which we can't do without switching to a different stack.
This is not for multiple inclusion purposes, because _regset.h already
handles this, but to enable inclusion of the MD header by cross-tools
on non-ia64 installations. The cross-tool can include _regset.h itself
before including MD headers that depend on it.
o Introduce XIV, eXternal Interrupt Vector, to differentiate from
the interrupts vectors that are offsets in the IVT (Interrupt
Vector Table). There's a vector for external interrupts, which
are based on the XIVs.
o Keep track of allocated and reserved XIVs so that we can assign
XIVs without hardcoding anything. When XIVs are allocated, an
interrupt handler and a class is specified for the XIV. Classes
are:
1. architecture-defined: XIV 15 is returned when no external
interrupt are pending,
2. platform-defined: SAL reports which XIV is used to wakeup
an AP (typically 0xFF, but it's 0x12 for the Altix 350).
3. inter-processor interrupts: allocated for SMP support and
non-redirectable.
4. device interrupts (i.e. IRQs): allocated when devices are
discovered and are redirectable.
o Rewrite the central interrupt handler to call the per-XIV
interrupt handler and rename it to ia64_handle_intr(). Move
the per-XIV handler implementation to the file where we have
the XIV allocation/reservation. Clock interrupt handling is
moved to clock.c. IPI handling is moved to mp_machdep.c.
o Drop support for the Intel 8259A because it was broken. When
XIV 0 is received, the CPU should initiate an INTA cycle to
obtain the interrupt vector of the 8259-based interrupt. In
these cases the interrupt controller we should be talking to
WRT to masking on signalling EOI is the 8259 and not the I/O
SAPIC. This requires adriver for the Intel 8259A which isn't
available for ia64. Thus stop pretending to support ExtINTs
and instead panic() so that if we come across hardware that
has an Intel 8259A, so have something real to work with.
o With XIVs for IPIs dynamically allocatedi and also based on
priority, define the IPI_* symbols as variables rather than
constants. The variable holds the XIV allocated for the IPI.
o IPI_STOP_HARD delivers a NMI if possible. Otherwise the XIV
assigned to IPI_STOP is delivered.

COMPAT_43TTY enables the sgtty interface. Even though its exposure has
only been removed in FreeBSD 8.0, it wasn't used by anything in the base

ports/packages are less than two years old, they will prefer termios

o Assign vectors based on priority, because vectors have
implied priority in hardware.
o Use unordered memory accesses to the I/O sapic and use
the acceptance form of the mf instruction.
o Remove the sapicreg.h and sapicvar.h headers. All definitions
in sapicreg.h are private to sapic.c and all definitions in
sapicvar.h are either private or interface functions. Move the
interface functions to intr.h.
o Hide the definition of struct sapic.
o Eliminate IA64_PHYS_TO_RR6 and change all places where the macro is used
by calling either bus_space_map() or pmap_mapdev().
o Implement bus_space_map() in terms of pmap_mapdev() and implement
bus_space_unmap() in terms of pmap_unmapdev().
o Have ia64_pib hold the uncached virtual address of the processor interrupt
block throughout the kernel's life and access the elements of the PIB
through this structure pointer.
This is a non-functional change with the exception of using ia64_ld1() and
ia64_st8() to write to the PIB. We were still using assignments, for which
the compiler generates semaphore reads -- which cause undefined behaviour
for uncacheable memory. Note also that the memory barriers in ipi_send() are
critical for proper functioning.
With all the mapping of uncached memory done by pmap_mapdev(), we can keep
track of the translations and wire them in the CPU. This then eliminates
the need to reserve a whole region for uncached I/O and it eliminates
translation traps for device I/O accesses.
