to fetch the magic word instead of useracc() plus a direct access.
This is more efficient as well as simpler and less incorrect:
- it was inefficent because useracc() takes much longer than just
accessing the data using a correct access method, at least on i386's.
- it was incorrect because direct access is incorrect unless the address
has been mapped. This and nearby direct accesses are mostly handled
better for other arches because they have to be (direct accesses don't
work).
- using magic in sigreturn is still fundamentally broken because false
matches are possible. On i386's, a false match occurs when %eip in a
new signal context happens to equal the magic value. This is not
handled better for other arches.

This typo keeps us from properly routing an interrupt for CardBus
bridges on this machine. So, now we look for $PIR and then _PIR to
cope. With these changes, the Libretto L1 now works properly.

In trap.c:syscall(), fake a trace trap if the single-step flag was set

mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:
The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe. Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer. This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs. Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called. (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)
I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha. I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha
code, so I expect it will work fine. PowerPC and ARM do not yet have
interrupt code in the tree so they shouldn't be broken. Sparc64 is
broken, but that's been ok'd by jake and tmm who will be fixing the
interrupt code for sparc64 shortly.

they were right. Fix both kenter() and kremove() for SMP by ensuring that
the tlb is flushed on other cpu's. This will directly solve random-corruption
panic issues in -stable when it is MFC'd. Better to be safe then sorry, we

Maybe MFC: immediately on re's permission
and it's associated state variables: icu_lock with the name "icu". This
renames the imen_mtx for x86 SMP, but also uses the lock to protect
access to the 8259 PIC on x86 UP. This also adds an appropriate lock to
the various Alpha chipsets which fixes problems with Alpha SMP machines
dropping interrupts with an SMP kernel.
- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
to nesting level 0. This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
cpu_critical_enter/exit. MI code such as device drivers and spin
mutexes use the MI wrappers. Note that since the MI wrappers store
the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().

- Axe inlvtlb_ok as it was completely redundant with smp_active.
- Remove references to non-existent variable and non-existent file

- Don't perform initializations local to each CPU while holding the
ap boot lock on i386 while an AP bootstraps itself.
- Reorganize the AP startup code some to unify the latter half of the
functions to bring an AP up. Eventually this might be broken out into
a MI function in subr_smp.c.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.
NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

device driver modifications
- The MI portions of struct globaldata have been consolidated into a MI
struct pcpu. The MD per-CPU data are specified via a macro defined in
machine/pcpu.h. A macro was chosen over a struct mdpcpu so that the
interface would be cleaner (PCPU_GET(my_md_field) vs.
PCPU_GET(md.md_my_md_field)).
- All references to globaldata are changed to pcpu instead. In a UP kernel,
this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name
came from. In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each
CPU outside of the context of debuggers. This also included combining
machine/globaldata.h and machine/globals.h into machine/pcpu.h.
- The pointer to the thread using the FPU on i386 was renamed from
npxthread to fpcurthread to be identical with other architectures.
- Make the show pcpu ddb command MI with a MD callout to display MD
fields.
- The globaldata_register() function was renamed to pcpu_init() and now
init's MI fields of a struct pcpu in addition to registering it with
the internal array and list.
- A pcpu_destroy() function was added to remove a struct pcpu from the
internal array and list.

This is to enable cleaner PAE and x86-64 support down the track sor

- Terminate "unsigned *ptep, pte" with extreme prejudice and use the
