aid other kernel code, especially code which can be in a module such as
the acpi_cpu(4) driver, to work properly with both SMP and UP kernels.
The exported symbols include mp_ncpus, all_cpus, mp_maxid, smp_started, and
the smp_rendezvous() function. This also means that CPU_ABSENT() is now
always implemented the same on all kernels.

uncovering some interesting problems. Be conservative and effecitvely
disable this by default. Interested parties may still define
KERNBUILDDIR by hand to achive the same effect.
I plan on referting this change after 5.2 is released, or sooner if
the issues with building releases are resolved and re@ approves.

the routing table. Move all usage and references in the tcp stack
from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.
It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination. Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.
tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote
ip address.
It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with
regard to the routing table.

regocnized as such at the time. Now that the other bogons in the
tree have been fixed, we can remove this ugly kludge.
o Remove stale/bogus opt_foo.h files. These are left over from
by-gone resources. And they point to the need, yet again, to
improve the build system so meta information is only in one place.

- This is heavily derived from John Baldwin's apic/pci cleanup on i386.
- I have completely rewritten or drastically cleaned up some other parts.
(in particular, bootstrap)
- This is still a WIP. It seems that there are some highly bogus bioses
on nVidia nForce3-150 boards. I can't stress how broken these boards
are. I have a workaround in mind, but right now the Asus SK8N is broken.
The Gigabyte K8NPro (nVidia based) is also mind-numbingly hosed.
- Most of my testing has been with SCHED_ULE. SCHED_4BSD works.
- the apic and acpi components are 'standard'.
- If you have an nVidia nForce3-150 board, you are stuck with 'device
atpic' in addition, because they somehow managed to forget to connect the
8254 timer to the apic, even though its in the same silicon! ARGH!
This directly violates the ACPI spec.
I'm having bad luck with different parts of the sys tree being checked
out at slightly different times. Back it out, noting it doesn't cause
harm in any case. Tinderbox also makes these things more fun.
opt_ddb.h. These changes expand green's work of including
opt_global.h to prefer opt files in the kernel directory. Further
refinement might be needed, but I think this is good.
Note: While this is a step on the path to moving the meta information
about modules into the config files, it doesn't actually do that. It
just pulls in the opt files in a way that allows one to build
'generic' modules outside the tree.
* Use the cpu_idle_hook() to do idling for C1-C3.
* Use both _CST and the FADT to detect Cx states.
* Use both _PTC and P_CNT for controlling throttling.
* Add a notify handler to detect changes in _CST and _PSS
* Call the _INI function for each processor if present. This will be
done by ACPI-CA in the future.
* Fix a bug on SMP systems where CPUs will attach multiple times if the
bus is rescan.
* Document new sysctls for controlling idling.
Short description of ip_fastforward:
o adds full direct process-to-completion IPv4 forwarding code
o handles ip fragmentation incl. hw support (ip_flow did not)
o sends icmp needfrag to source if DF is set (ip_flow did not)
o supports ipfw and ipfilter (ip_flow did not)
o supports divert, ipfw fwd and ipfilter nat (ip_flow did not)
o returns anything it can't handle back to normal ip_input
Enable with sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1

kernel build. This makes it possible for me not to get pissed off that
random.ko crashes the system trying to rdtsc() when the i386/cpu.h
support code decides it's okay to call that op when neither I386_CPU or
I486_CPU is defined. I guess it also makes WITNESS/INVARIANTS defines
get picked up by the modules.
in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a
(struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using
a UMA zone (mac_label.c). This allows the size and shape of struct
label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel
objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE. This opens
the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence
changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies
at boot-time instead of compile-time. This also makes it easier to
embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching
with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures.
This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the
structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention
dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the
MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability.
While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it
will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data
structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable)
performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory
conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory.
NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a
result of this change. Because this is an API change, third party
MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&'
symbol.

turnstiles to implement blocking isntead of implementing a thread queue
directly. These turnstiles are somewhat similar to those used in Solaris 7
as described in Solaris Internals but are also different.
Turnstiles do not come out of a fixed-sized pool. Rather, each thread is
assigned a turnstile when it is created that it frees when it is destroyed.
When a thread blocks on a lock, it donates its turnstile to that lock to
serve as queue of blocked threads. The queue associated with a given lock
is found by a lookup in a simple hash table. The turnstile itself is
protected by a lock associated with its entry in the hash table. This
means that sched_lock is no longer needed to contest on a mutex. Instead,
sched_lock is only used when manipulating run queues or thread priorities.
Turnstiles also implement priority propagation inherently.
Currently turnstiles only support mutexes. Eventually, however, turnstiles
may grow two queue's to support a non-sleepable reader/writer lock
implementation. For more details, see the comments in sys/turnstile.h and
kern/subr_turnstile.c.
The two primary advantages from the turnstile code include: 1) the size
of struct mutex shrinks by four pointers as it no longer stores the
thread queue linkages directly, and 2) less contention on sched_lock in
SMP systems including the ability for multiple CPUs to contend on different
locks simultaneously (not that this last detail is necessarily that much of
a big win). Note that 1) means that this commit is a kernel ABI breaker,
so don't mix old modules with a new kernel and vice versa.

should only be used if they are enabled in the BIOS. Now that we support
enumerating CPUs using the ACPI MADT, any HTT machine using ACPI should
respect the BIOS setting. For HTT machines with ACPI disabled in the
kernel, the MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT kernel option can be used to try to probe HTT
CPUs like have done in the past for the MP Table case. This option should
only be enabled if HTT is enabled in the BIOS.
Removed banal comments about ELAN*. Complain about ELAN* being misnamed
instead (so that these options are not obviously related to a CPU and
don't sort with CPU_ELAN).
Complain about CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG being in the wrong namespace.
Don't put the name of the file in a comment. $FreeBSD$ gives more than
enough about the file's pathname.
Fixed misdescription of the file. It isn't the whole unified Makefile...
Moved the settings of WERROR and of the standard extra CFLAGS
-finline-limit and -fno-strict-aliasing to a less wrong place. They
were in the section for profiling.
the amd64 implementation of the pcpu macros is even more verbose than on
i386 and that causes gcc to way overestimate the complexity of this
2-instruction macro. The other platforms can probably lower their
default values.
no matter where in the directory structure it may be. Use this and the "-k"
flag in the generated gdbinit files so that the "getsyms" function in gdb
requires no user intervention to run and will find every module if they're
in the kernel build's module directory. This is still quite useful for
cases where gdb knows that the path for some modules is /boot/kernel and
others are in the object directory for /usr/src/sys/$ARCH/compile/kernel.
