userspace thing which we cannot alter. Two syscalls maintain
pointer to userspace list and when process exits a routine
walks this list waking up processes sleeping on futexes
from that list.

- Add a new MD routine, cpu_wake_idle() to wakeup idle threads who are
suspended in cpu specific states. This function can fail and cause the
scheduler to fall back to another mechanism (ipi).
- Implement support for mwait in cpu_idle() on i386/amd64 machines that
support it. mwait is a higher performance way to synchronize cpus
as compared to hlt & ipis.
- Allow selecting the idle routine by name via sysctl machdep.idle. This
replaces machdep.cpu_idle_hlt. Only idle routines supported by the
current machine are permitted.

for better structure.
Much of this is related to <sys/clock.h>, which should really have
been called <sys/calendar.h>, but unless and until we need the name,
the repocopy can wait.
In general the kernel does not know about minutes, hours, days,
timezones, daylight savings time, leap-years and such. All that
is theoretically a matter for userland only.
Parts of kernel code does however care: badly designed filesystems
store timestamps in local time and RTC chips almost universally
track time in a YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, and sometimes in local
timezone instead of UTC. For this we have <sys/clock.h>
<sys/time.h> on the other hand, deals with time_t, timeval, timespec
and so on. These know only seconds and fractions thereof.
Move inittodr() and resettodr() prototypes to <sys/time.h>.
Retain the names as it is one of the few surviving PDP/VAX references.
Move startrtclock() to <machine/clock.h> on relevant platforms, it
is a MD call between machdep.c/clock.c. Remove references to it
elsewhere.
Remove a lot of unnecessary <sys/clock.h> includes.
Move the machdep.disable_rtc_set sysctl to subr_rtc.c where it belongs.
XXX: should be kern.disable_rtc_set really, it's not MD.
Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware
loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there
no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now
bundled into the wlan module.

As per restrictions imposed by MD code we can only bind interrupts to

2/4MB page from a PDE. Specifically, change it to use PG_PS_FRAME,
not PG_FRAME, to extract the physical address of a 2/4MB page from a
PDE.
Change the last argument passed to pmap_pv_insert_pde() from a
vm_page_t representing the first 4KB page of a 2/4MB page to the
vm_paddr_t of the 2/4MB page. This avoids an otherwise unnecessary
conversion from a vm_paddr_t to a vm_page_t in pmap_copy().
allows all the INTR_FILTER #ifdef's to be removed from the MD interrupt
code.
- Rename the intr_event 'eoi', 'disable', and 'enable' hooks to
'post_filter', 'pre_ithread', and 'post_ithread' to be less x86-centric.
Also, add a comment describe what the MI code expects them to do.
- On amd64, i386, and powerpc this is effectively a NOP.
- On arm, don't bother masking the interrupt unless the ithread is
scheduled in the non-INTR_FILTER case to match what INTR_FILTER did.
Also, don't bother unmasking the interrupt in the post_filter case if
we never masked it. The INTR_FILTER case had been doing this by having
arm_unmask_irq for the post_filter (formerly 'eoi') hook.
- On ia64, stray interrupts are now masked for the non-INTR_FILTER case.
They were already masked in the INTR_FILTER case.
- On sparc64, use the a NULL pre_ithread hook and use intr_enable_eoi() for
both the 'post_filter' and 'post_ithread' hooks to match what the
non-INTR_FILTER code did.
- On sun4v, retire the ithread wrapper hack by using an appropriate
'post_ithread' hook instead (it's what 'post_ithread'/'enable' was
designed to do even in 5.x).

UMA_SLAB_KERNEL for consistency with its sibling UMA_SLAB_KMEM.
(UMA_SLAB_KMAP met its original demise in revision 1.30 of
vm/uma_core.c.) UMA_SLAB_KERNEL is now required by the jumbo frame
allocators. Without it, UMA cannot correctly return pages from the
jumbo frame zones to the VM system because it resets the pages' object
field to NULL instead of the kernel object. In more detail, the jumbo
frame zones are created with the option UMA_ZONE_REFCNT. This causes
UMA to overwrite the pages' object field with the address of the slab.
However, when UMA wants to release these pages, it doesn't know how to
restore the object field, so it sets it to NULL. This change teaches
UMA how to reset the object field to the kernel object.

to detect (or load) kernel NLM support in rpc.lockd. Remove the '-k'

force the use of the old user NLM by building a kernel without NFSLOCKD

1. Add support for automatic promotion of 4KB page mappings to 2MB page

2. To date, we have assumed that the TLB will only set the PG_M bit in a
PTE if that PTE has the PG_RW bit set. However, this assumption does
not hold on recent processors from Intel. For example, consider a PTE
that has the PG_RW bit set but the PG_M bit clear. Suppose this PTE
is cached in the TLB and later the PG_RW bit is cleared in the PTE,
but the corresponding TLB entry is not (yet) invalidated.
Historically, upon a write access using this (stale) TLB entry, the
TLB would observe that the PG_RW bit had been cleared and initiate a
page fault, aborting the setting of the PG_M bit in the PTE. Now,
however, P4- and Core2-family processors will set the PG_M bit before
observing that the PG_RW bit is clear and initiating a page fault. In
other words, the write does not occur but the PG_M bit is still set.
The real impact of this difference is not that great. Specifically,
we should no longer assert that any PTE with the PG_M bit set must
also have the PG_RW bit set, and we should ignore the state of the
PG_M bit unless the PG_RW bit is set.
frequency generation and what frequency the generated was anyones
guess.
In general the 32.768kHz RTC clock x-tal was the best, because that
was a regular wrist-watch Xtal, whereas the X-tal generating the
ISA bus frequency was much lower quality, often costing as much as
several cents a piece, so it made good sense to check the ISA bus
frequency against the RTC clock.
The other relevant property of those machines, is that they
typically had no more than 16MB RAM.
These days, CPU chips croak if their clocks are not tightly within
specs and all necessary frequencies are derived from the master
crystal by means if PLL's.
Considering that it takes on average 1.5 second to calibrate the
frequency of the i8254 counter, that more likely than not, we will
not actually use the result of the calibration, and as the final
clincher, we seldom use the i8254 for anything besides BEL in
syscons anyway, it has become time to drop the calibration code.
If you need to tell the system what frequency your i8254 runs,
you can do so from the loader using hw.i8254.freq or using the
sysctl kern.timecounter.tc.i8254.frequency.
these days, so de-generalize the acquire_timer/release_timer api
to just deal with speakers.
The new (optional) MD functions are:
timer_spkr_acquire()
timer_spkr_release()
and
timer_spkr_setfreq()
the last of which configures the timer to generate a tone of a given
frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.
Drop entirely timer2 on pc98, it is not used anywhere at all.
Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if
they exist, and do nothing otherwise.
Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()
functions from the non-beeping archs.
This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.
Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.
In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from
the KDMKTONE ioctl in terms if 1/1193182th second, so we hardcode
the 1193182 and leave it at that. It's probably not important.
Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.
This eliminates the knowledge of i8254_freq from all but the actual
clock.c code and the prof_machdep.c on amd64 and i386, where I think
it would be smart to ask for help from the timecounters anyway [TBD].
