Kernel-only compat definitions are kept in the i386/include/sigframe.h

The amd64 compat uses its own definitions so far.

timecounter to 1, and correspondingly increase the precision of the
gettimeofday(2) and related functions in the default configuration.
The motivation for the TSC-low timecounter, as described in the
r222866, seems to provide a workaround for the non-serializing
behaviour of the RDTSC on some Intel hardware. Tests demonstrate that
even with the pre-shift of 8, the cross-core non-monotonicity of the
RDTSC is still observed reliably, e.g. on the Nehalems. The r238755
and r238973 implemented the proper fix for the issue.
The pre-shift of 1 is applied to keep TSC not overflowing for the
frequency of hardclock down to 2 sec/intr. The pre-shift is made a
tunable to allow the easy debugging of the issues users could see with
the shift being too low.

Rather than trying to KASSERT for callers that invoke this on
IO tags, either do nothing (for write_8) or return ~0 (for read_8).
Using KASSERT here just makes bus.h too messy from both
polluting bus.h with systm.h (for any number of drivers that include
bus.h without first including systm.h) or ports that use bus.h
directly (i.e. libpciaccess) as reported by zeising@.
Also don't try to implement all of the other bus_space functions for
8 byte access since realistically only these two are needed for some
devices that expose 64-bit memory-mapped registers.

Programming the low bits has a side-effect if unmasking the pin if it is
not disabled. So if an interrupt was pending then it would be delivered
with the correct new vector but to the incorrect old LAPIC.
This fix could be made clearer by preserving the mask bit while
programming the low bits and then explicitly resetting the mask bit
after all the programming is done.
Probability to trip over the fixed bug could be increased by bootverbose
because printing of the interrupt information in ioapic_assign_cpu
lengthened the time window during which an interrupt could arrive while
a pin is masked.

- Don't call pmap_change_attr() on the returned address, instead use

- As a result, always use kmem_alloc_contig() for non-default memory

bus_dmamem_free()'s logic for determining which free routine to use.
- For x86, add a new dummy bus_dmamap that is used for static DMA
buffers allocated via kmem_alloc_contig(). bus_dmamem_free() can then
use the map pointer to determine which free routine to use.
- For powerpc, add a new flag to the allocated map (bus_dmamem_alloc()

message for r238973:
Rdtsc instruction is not synchronized, it seems on some Intel cores it
can bypass even the locked instructions. As a result, rdtsc executed
on different cores may return unordered TSC values even when the rdtsc
appearance in the instruction sequences is provably ordered.
Similarly to what has been done in r238755 for TSC synchronization
test, add explicit fences right before rdtsc in the timecounters 'get'
functions. Intel recommends to use LFENCE, while AMD refers to
MFENCE. For VIA follow what Linux does and use LFENCE. With this
change, I see no reordered reads of TSC on Nehalem.
Change the rmb() to inlined CPUID in the SMP TSC synchronization test.
On i386, locked instruction is used for rmb(), and as noted earlier,
it is not enough. Since i386 machine may not support SSE2, do simplest
possible synchronization with CPUID.

Intel Architecture Manual specifies that rdtsc instruction is not serialized,
so without this change, TSC synchronization test would periodically fail,
resulting in use of HPET timecounter instead of TSC-low. This caused
severe performance degradation (40-50%) when running high IO/s workloads due to
HPET MMIO reads and GEOM stat collection.
Tests on Xeon E5-2600 (Sandy Bridge) 8C systems were seeing TSC synchronization
fail approximately 20% of the time.

mostly meets the guidelines set by the Intel SDM:
1. We use XRSTOR and XSAVE from the same CPL using the same linear
address for the store area
2. Contrary to the recommendations, we cannot zero the FPU save area
for a new thread, since fork semantic requires the copy of the
previous state. This advice seemingly contradicts to the advice
from the item 6.
3. We do use XSAVEOPT in the context switch code only, and the area
for XSAVEOPT already always contains the data saved by XSAVE.
4. We do not modify the save area between XRSTOR, when the area is
loaded into FPU context, and XSAVE. We always spit the fpu context
into save area and start emulation when directly writing into FPU
context.
5. We do not use segmented addressing to access save area, or rather,
always address it using %ds basing.
6. XSAVEOPT can be only executed in the area which was previously
loaded with XRSTOR, since context switch code checks for FPU use by
outgoing thread before saving, and thread which stopped emulation
forcibly get context loaded with XRSTOR.
7. The PCB cannot be paged out while FPU emulation is turned off, since
stack of the executing thread is never swapped out.
The context switch code is patched to issue XSAVEOPT instead of XSAVE
if supported. This approach eliminates one conditional in the context
switch code, which would be needed otherwise.
For user-visible machine context to have proper data, fpugetregs()
checks for unsaved extension blocks and manually copies pristine FPU
state into them, according to the description provided by CPUID leaf

This is required for ARM EABI. Section 7.1.1 of the Procedure Call for the
ARM Architecture (AAPCS) defines wchar_t as either an unsigned int or an
unsigned short with the former preferred.
Because of this requirement we need to move the definition of __wchar_t to
a machine dependent header. It also cleans up the macros defining the limits
of wchar_t by defining __WCHAR_MIN and __WCHAR_MAX in the same machine
dependent header then using them to define WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX
respectively.

usermode, using shared page. The structures and functions have vdso
prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.
The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also
provided. Kernel also provides usermode with indication about
currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.
The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.
Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.
Minimal stubs neccessary for non-x86 architectures to still compile

This has been requested by jhb and I strongly disagree with this,
but as long as he is the x86 and interrupt subsystem maintainer I will
follow his directives.
The disagreement cames from what we should really consider as a
public KPI. IMHO, if we really need a selection between the kernel
functions, we may need an explicit protection like _KERNEL_KPI, which
defines which subset of the kernel function might really be considered
as part of the KPI (for thirdy part modules) and which not.
As long as we don't have this mechanism I just consider any possible
function as usable by thirdy part code, thus intr_bind() included.
