for example, to run tasks on CPUs that did not exist or to allocate too
few buffers on systems with sparse CPU IDs in which there are holes in the

systems with SMT, but on which SMT is disabled. This patch restores system

There are a number of other places in the kernel with potential problems
in these situations, but where sparse CPU IDs are not currently known

TLBs for addresses with updated PTEs are always flushed before pmap
lock is unlocked. On the other hand, amd64 pmap code does not always
flushes TLBs before PV list locks are unlocked, if previously PTEs
were cleared and PV entries removed.
To handle the situations where a thread might notice empty PV list but
third thread still having access to the page due to TLB invalidation
not finished yet, introduce delayed invalidation. Comparing with the
pvh_global_lock, DI does not block entered thread when
pmap_remove_all() or pmap_remove_write() (callers of
pmap_delayed_invl_wait()) are executed in parallel. But _invl_wait()
callers are blocked until all previously noted DI blocks are leaved,
thus ensuring that neccessary TLB invalidations were performed before
returning from pmap_remove_all() or pmap_remove_write().
See comments for detailed description of the mechanism, and also for
the explanations why several pmap methods, most important
pmap_enter(), do not need DI protection.

bus_get_cpus() returns a specified set of CPUs for a device. It accepts
an enum for the second parameter that indicates the type of cpuset to
request. Currently two valus are supported:
- LOCAL_CPUS (on x86 this returns all the CPUs in the package closest to
the device when DEVICE_NUMA is enabled)
- INTR_CPUS (like LOCAL_CPUS but only returns 1 SMT thread for each core)
For systems that do not support NUMA (or if it is not enabled in the kernel
config), LOCAL_CPUS fails with EINVAL. INTR_CPUS is mapped to 'all_cpus'
by default. The idea is that INTR_CPUS should always return a valid set.
Device drivers which want to use per-CPU interrupts should start using
INTR_CPUS instead of simply assigning interrupts to all available CPUs.
In the future we may wish to add tunables to control the policy of
INTR_CPUS (e.g. should it be local-only or global, should it ignore
SMT threads or not).
The x86 nexus driver exposes the internal set of interrupt CPUs from the
the x86 interrupt code via INTR_CPUS.
The ACPI bus driver and PCI bridge drivers use _PXM to return a suitable
LOCAL_CPUS set when _PXM exists and DEVICE_NUMA is enabled. They also and
the global INTR_CPUS set from the nexus driver with the per-domain set from
_PXM to generate a local INTR_CPUS set for child devices.
Compared to the r298933, this version uses 'struct _cpuset' in
<sys/bus.h> instead of 'cpuset_t' to avoid requiring <sys/param.h>
(<sys/_cpuset.h> still requires <sys/param.h> for MAXCPU even though
<sys/_bitset.h> does not after recent changes).
PCI-express HotPlug support is implemented via bits in the slot
registers of the PCI-express capability of the downstream port along
with an interrupt that triggers when bits in the slot status register
change.
This is implemented for FreeBSD by adding HotPlug support to the
PCI-PCI bridge driver which attaches to the virtual PCI-PCI bridges
representing downstream ports on HotPlug slots. The PCI-PCI bridge
driver registers an interrupt handler to receive HotPlug events. It
also uses the slot registers to determine the current HotPlug state
and drive an internal HotPlug state machine. For simplicty of
implementation, the PCI-PCI bridge device detaches and deletes the
child PCI device when a card is removed from a slot and creates and
attaches a PCI child device when a card is inserted into the slot.
The PCI-PCI bridge driver provides a bus_child_present which claims
that child devices are present on HotPlug-capable slots only when a
card is inserted. Rather than requiring a timeout in the RC for
config accesses to not-present children, the pcib_read/write_config
methods fail all requests when a card is not present (or not yet
ready).
These changes include support for various optional HotPlug
capabilities such as a power controller, mechanical latch,
electro-mechanical interlock, indicators, and an attention button.
It also includes support for devices which require waiting for
command completion events before initiating a subsequent HotPlug
command. However, it has only been tested on ExpressCard systems
which support surprise removal and have none of these optional
capabilities.
PCI-express HotPlug support is conditional on the PCI_HP option
which is enabled by default on arm64, x86, and powerpc.

On AMD Family 10h systems the way that ID is built is controlled by
an MSR bit (InitApicIdCpuIdLo). BKDG instructs BIOS to set it in a
certain way, but a BIOS can be buggy. In that case the ID can confuse
tools that use it, e.g. hwloc.
For example, on a system that I own real Local APIC IDs are configured

We're currently seeing how hard it would be to run CloudABI binaries on
operating systems cannot be modified easily (Windows, Mac OS X). The
idea is that we want to just run them without any sandboxing. Now
that CloudABI executables are PIE, this is already a bit easier, but TLS
is still problematic:
- CloudABI executables want to write to the %fs, which typically
requires extra system calls by the emulator every time it needs to
switch between CloudABI's and its own TLS.
- If CloudABI executables overwrite the %fs base unconditionally, it
also becomes harder for the emulator to store a backup of the old
value of %fs. To solve this, let's no longer overwrite %fs, but just
%fs:0.
As CloudABI's C library does not use a TCB, this space can now be used
by an emulator to keep track of its internal state. The executable can
now safely overwrite %fs:0, as long as it makes sure that the TCB is
copied over to the new TLS area.
Ensure that there is an initial TLS area set up when the process starts,
only containing a bogus TCB. We don't really care about its contents on

providing compiled-in static environment data that is used instead of any
data passed in from a boot loader.
Previously 'env' worked only on i386 and arm xscale systems, because it
required the MD startup code to examine the global envmode variable and
decide whether to use static_env or an environment obtained from the boot
loader, and set the global kern_envp accordingly. Most startup code wasn't
doing so. Making things even more complex, some mips startup code uses an
alternate scheme that involves calling init_static_kenv() to pass an empty
buffer and its size, then uses a series of kern_setenv() calls to populate
that buffer.
Now all MD startup code calls init_static_kenv(), and that routine provides
a single point where envmode is checked and the decision is made whether to
use the compiled-in static_kenv or the values provided by the MD code.
The routine also continues to serve its original purpose for mips; if a
non-zero buffer size is passed the routine installs the empty buffer ready
to accept kern_setenv() values. Now if the size is zero, the provided buffer
full of existing env data is installed. A NULL pointer can be passed if the
boot loader provides no env data; this allows the static env to be installed
if envmode is set to do so.
Most of the work here is a near-mechanical change to call the init function
instead of directly setting kern_envp. A notable exception is in xen/pv.c;
that code was originally installing a buffer full of preformatted env data
along with its non-zero size (like mips code does), which would have allowed
kern_setenv() calls to wipe out the preformatted data. Now it passes a zero
for the size so that the buffer of data it installs is treated as
non-writeable.

is no more differences betwen amd64 and i386.
The new header is placed in x86/include/xen and each platform will have
dummy headers include x86/xen/*.h. This is to be able to include
machine/xen/*.h in the PV drivers.

Due to an off by one the code would read an entry past the table, as
opposed to the last entry which contains the nosys handler.

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.
List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory:
- Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
- Support multiple consoles
