c9e8817902 - Work around ACPI mode transition problem for recent NVIDIA 9400M chipset
based Intel Macs.  Since r189055, these platforms started freezing when
ACPI is being initialized for unknown reason.  For these platforms, we just
use the old PAT layout.  Note this change is not enough to boot fully on
these platforms because of other problems but it makes debugging possible.
Note MacBook5,2 may be affected as well but it was not added here because
of lack of hardware to test.
- Initialize PAT MSR fully instead of reading and modifying it for safety.

ecc2fda872 Make sure FreeBSD binaries without .note.ABI-tag section work
correctly and do not match a colliding Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
brandinfo statements.
For this mark the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD brandinfo that it must have
an .note.ABI-tag section and ignore the old EI_OSABI brandinfo
when comparing a possibly colliding set of options.

Due to SYSINIT we add the brandinfo in a non-deterministic order,
so native FreeBSD is not always first. We may want to consider
to force native FreeBSD to come first as well.

The only way a problem could currently be noticed is when running an
i386 binary without the .note.ABI-tag on amd64 and the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
brandinfo  was matched first,  as the fallback to ld-elf32.so.1 does
not exist in that case.

89ffc202d6 Fix handling of .note.ABI-tag section for GNU systems [1].
Handle GNU/Linux according to LSB Core Specification 4.0,
Chapter 11. Object Format, 11.8. ABI note tag.

Also check the first word of desc, not only name, according to
glibc abi-tags specification to distinguish between Linux and
kFreeBSD.

Add explicit handling for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, which runs
on our kernels as well [2].

In {amd64,i386}/trap.c, when checking osrel of the current process,
also check the ABI to not change the signal behaviour for Linux
binary processes, now that we save an osrel version for all three
from the lists above in struct proc [2].

These changes make it possible to run FreeBSD, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
and Linux binaries on the same machine again for at least i386 and
amd64, and no longer break kFreeBSD which was detected as GNU(/Linux).

faccac2d45 Correct a critical accounting error in pmap_demote_pde(). Specifically,
when pmap_demote_pde() allocates a page table page to implement a
user-space demotion, it must increment the pmap's resident page count.
Not doing so, can lead to an underflow during address space termination
that causes pmap_remove() to exit prematurely, before it has destroyed
all of the mappings within the specified range.  The ultimate effect or
symptom of this error is an assertion failure in vm_page_free_toq()
because the page being freed is still mapped.

This error is only possible when superpage promotion is enabled.  Thus,
it only affects FreeBSD  versions greater than 7.2.

- Provide lapic_disable_pmc(), lapic_enable_pmc(), and lapic_reenable_pmc()

  manage the local APIC PMC interrupt vector.
- Do not enable the local APIC PMC interrupt vector by default when
  HWPMC_HOOKS is enabled.  Instead, the hwpmc(4) driver explicitly
  enables the interrupt when it is succesfully initialized and disables
  the interrupt when it is unloaded.  This avoids enabling the interrupt

dc6fbf6545 * Completely Remove the option STOP_NMI from the kernel. This option
has proven to have a good effect when entering KDB by using a NMI,
but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts
disabled while holding a spinlock in other occasions.  This can be the
cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases
* Disable interrupts on CPU0 when starting the process of APs suspension.
* Style cleanup and comments adding

This patch should fix the reboot/shutdown deadlocks many users are
constantly reporting on mailing lists.

013818111a Add a new type of VM object: OBJT_SG. An OBJT_SG object is very similar to
a device pager (OBJT_DEVICE) object in that it uses fictitious pages to
provide aliases to other memory addresses.  The primary difference is that
it uses an sglist(9) to determine the physical addresses for a given offset
into the object instead of invoking the d_mmap() method in a device driver.

206a336872 When the page caching attributes are changed, after new mapping is
established, OS shall flush the caches on all processors that may have
used the mapping previously. This operation is not needed if processors
support self-snooping. If not, but clflush instruction is implemented

Otherwise, we have to flush the whole cache. The later operation is very
expensive, and AMD-made CPUs do not have self-snooping.

Implement cache flush for remapped region by using clflush for amd64,

9861cbc6ca Change the handling of fictitious pages by pmap_page_set_memattr() on
amd64 and i386.  Essentially, fictitious pages provide a mechanism for
creating aliases for either normal or device-backed pages.  Therefore,
pmap_page_set_memattr() on a fictitious page needn't update the direct
map or flush the cache.  Such actions are the responsibility of the
"primary" instance of the page or the device driver that "owns" the
physical address.  For example, these actions are already performed by
pmap_mapdev().

The device pager needn't restore the memory attributes on a fictitious
page before releasing it.  It's now pointless.

Add pmap_page_set_memattr() to the Xen pmap.

3153e878dd Add support to the virtual memory system for configuring machine-
dependent memory attributes:

Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t.  The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.

Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.

Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes.  Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures.  The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map.  The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:

  kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
  non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.

  vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
  for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
  memory attributes.

Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.

Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386.  In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

59aa14a91d Implementation of the upcoming Wireless Mesh standard, 802.11s, on the
net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.

Authentication and encryption are not implemented.

There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).

A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.

Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.

More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh

Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

report segment descriptor in tf_err, while segment register contains the
corrected value loaded by trap handler.

133898afd5 When pmap_change_attr() changes the PAT setting on a kernel mapping, it has
to simultaneously change the PAT setting for the same pages within the
direct map region.  This may require the demotion of a 2MB page mapping and
the allocation of a page table page.  This revision gives the highest
possible priority (VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT) to this page allocation, so that
pmap_change_attr() is less likely to fail.  (In general, kernel page table
page allocations have the highest priority, so this is not creating a new
precedent.)

(Demotion of 1GB page mappings within the direct map already specifies
VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT to vm_page_alloc(), so only pmap_demote_pde() must be
changed.)

0d0a6650d7 After the per-CPU IDT changes, the IDT vector of an interrupt could change
when the interrupt was moved from one CPU to another.  If the interrupt was
enabled, then the old IDT vector needs to be disabled and the new IDT vector
needs to be enabled.  This was mostly masked prior to the recent MSI changes
since in the older code almost all allocated IDT vectors were already enabled
and the enabled vectors on the BSP during boot covered enough of the IDT
range.  However, after the MSI changes, MSI interrupts that were allocated
but not enabled (e.g. DRM with MSI) during boot could result in an allocated
IDT vector that wasn't enabled.  The round-robin at the end of boot could
place another interrupt at the same IDT vector without enabling the IDT
vector causing trap 30 faults.

Fix this by explicitly disabling/enabling the old and new IDT vectors for
enabled interrupt sources when moving an interrupt between CPUs via the
pic_assign_cpu() method.  While here, fix a bug in my earlier changes so
that an I/O APIC interrupt pin is left unchanged if ioapic_assign_cpu()
fails to allocate a new IDT vector and returns ENOSPC.

cebc7fb16c Improve the handling of cpuset with interrupts.
- For x86, change the interrupt source method to assign an interrupt source
  to a specific CPU to return an error value instead of void, thus allowing
  it to fail.
- If moving an interrupt to a CPU fails due to a lack of IDT vectors in the
  destination CPU, fail the request with ENOSPC rather than panicing.
- For MSI interrupts on x86 (but not MSI-X), only allow cpuset to be used
  on the first interrupt in a group.  Moving the first interrupt in a group
  moves the entire group.
- Use the icu_lock to protect intr_next_cpu() on x86 instead of the
  intr_table_lock to fix a LOR introduced in the last set of MSI changes.
- Add a new privilege PRIV_SCHED_CPUSET_INTR for using cpuset with
  interrupts.  Previously, binding an interrupt to a CPU only performed a
  privilege check if the interrupt had an interrupt thread.  Interrupts
  without a thread could be bound by non-root users as a result.
- If an interrupt event's assign_cpu method fails, then restore the original
  cpuset mask for the associated interrupt thread.

b4805f449c - Restore the behavior of pre-allocating IDT vectors for MSI interrupts.
This is mostly important for the multiple MSI message case where the
  IDT vectors for the entire group need to be allocated together.  This
  also restores the assumptions made by the PCI bus code that it could
  invoke PCIB_MAP_MSI() once MSI vectors were allocated.
- To avoid whiplash with CPU assignments, change the way that CPUs are
  assigned to interrupt sources on activation.  Instead of assigning the
  CPU via pic_assign_cpu() before calling enable_intr(), allow the
  different interrupt source drivers to ask the MD interrupt code which
  CPU to use when they allocate an IDT vector.  I/O APIC interrupt pins
  do this in their pic_enable_intr() routines giving the same behavior as
  before.  MSI sources do it when the IDT vectors are allocated during
  msi_alloc() and msix_alloc().
- Change the intr_table_lock from an sx lock to a mutex.

387aabc513 Long, long ago in r27464 special case code for mapping device-backed
memory with 4MB pages was added to pmap_object_init_pt().  This code
assumes that the pages of a OBJT_DEVICE object are always physically
contiguous.  Unfortunately, this is not always the case.  For example,
jhb@ informs me that the recently introduced /dev/ksyms driver creates
a OBJT_DEVICE object that violates this assumption.  Thus, this
revision modifies pmap_object_init_pt() to abort the mapping if the
OBJT_DEVICE object's pages are not physically contiguous.  This
revision also changes some inconsistent if not buggy behavior.  For
example, the i386 version aborts if the first 4MB virtual page that
would be mapped is already valid.  However, it incorrectly replaces
any subsequent 4MB virtual page mappings that it encounters,
potentially leaking a page table page.  The amd64 version has a bug of
my own creation.  It potentially busies the wrong page and always an
insufficent number of pages if it blocks allocating a page table page.

To my knowledge, there have been no reports of these bugs, hence,
their persistance.  I suspect that the existing restrictions that
pmap_object_init_pt() placed on the OBJT_DEVICE objects that it would
choose to map, for example, that the first page must be aligned on a 2
or 4MB physical boundary and that the size of the mapping must be a
multiple of the large page size, were enough to avoid triggering the
bug for drivers like ksyms.  However, one side effect of testing the
OBJT_DEVICE object's pages for physical contiguity is that a dubious
difference between pmap_object_init_pt() and the standard path for
mapping devices pages, i.e., vm_fault(), has been eliminated.
Previously, pmap_object_init_pt() would only instantiate the first
PG_FICTITOUS page being mapped because it never examined the rest.
Now, however, pmap_object_init_pt() uses the new function
vm_object_populate() to instantiate them all (in order to support
testing their physical contiguity).  These pages need to be
instantiated for the mechanism that I have prototyped for
automatically maintaining the consistency of the PAT settings across
multiple mappings, particularly, amd64's direct mapping, to work.
(Translation: This change is also being made to support jhb@'s work on
the Nvidia feature requests.)

c2919fd8ff Enable PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE on i386 and amd64 by default.
In the past there have been some reports of PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE not
functioning correctly. Instead of having garbled console messages, we
should just see whether the issues are still there and analyze them.

d68875eb7e Add alc(4), a driver for Atheros AR8131/AR8132 PCIe ethernet
controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
  o MSI
  o TCP Segmentation offload
  o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
  o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
  o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
  o Jumbo frame
  o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.
