This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
also implies VM_PROT_EXEC. We support it that way for now,
since the break system call by default gives VM_PROT_ALL. Now
we have a better chance of coalesing map entries when mixing
mmap/break type operations. This was contributing to excessive
numbers of map entries on the modula-3 runtime system. The
problem is still not "solved", but the situation makes more
sense.
Eventually, when we work on architectures where VM_PROT_READ
is orthogonal to VM_PROT_EXEC, we will have to visit this
issue carefully (esp. regarding security issues.)

I decided to do this for every hardclock() call instead of lazily
in microtime(). The lazy method is simpler but has more overhead
if microtime() is called a lot.
CPU_THISTICKLEN() is now a no-op and should probably go away.
Previously it did nothing directly but had the side effect of
setting i586_last_tick for CPU_CLOCKUPDATE() and i586_avg_tick for
debugging. CPU_CLOCKUPDATE() now uses a better method and
i586_avg_tick is too much trouble to maintain.
Reduced nesting of #includes in the usual case.
Increased nesting of #includes when CLOCK_HAIR is defined. This
is a kludge to get typedefs for inline functions only when the
inline functions are used. Normally only kern_clock.c defines
this. kern_clock.c can't include the i386 headers directly.
Removed unused LOCORE support.
- use a more accurate and more efficient method of compensating for
overheads. The old method counted too much time against leaf
functions.
- normally use the Pentium timestamp counter if available.
On Pentiums, the times are now accurate to within a couple of cpu
clock cycles per function call in the (unlikely) event that there
are no cache misses in or caused by the profiling code.
- optionally use an arbitrary Pentium event counter if available.
- optionally regress to using the i8254 counter.
- scaled the i8254 counter by a factor of 128. Now the i8254 counters
overflow slightly faster than the TSC counters for a 150MHz Pentium :-)
(after about 16 seconds). This is to avoid fractional overheads.
files.i386:
permon.c temporarily has to be classified as a profiling-routine
because a couple of functions in it may be called from profiling code.
options.i386:
- I586_CTR_GUPROF is currently unused (oops).
- I586_PMC_GUPROF should be something like 0x70000 to enable (but not
use unless prof_machdep.c is changed) support for Pentium event
counters. 7 is a control mode and the counter number 0 is somewhere
in the 0000 bits (see perfmon.h for the encoding).
profile.h:
- added declarations.
- cleaned up separation of user mode declarations.
prof_machdep.c:
Mostly clock-select changes. The default clock can be changed by
editing kmem. There should be a sysctl for this.
subr_prof.c:
- added copyright.
- calibrate overheads for the new method.
- documented new method.
- fixed races and and machine dependencies in start/stop code.
mcount.c:
Use the new overhead compensation method.
gmon.h:
- changed GPROF4 counter type from unsigned to int. Oops, this should
be machine-dependent and/or int32_t.
- reorganized overhead counters.

previous snap. Specifically, kern_exit and kern_exec now makes a
call into the pmap module to do a very fast removal of pages from the
address space. Additionally, the pmap module now updates the PG_MAPPED
and PG_WRITABLE flags. This is an optional optimization, but helpful
on the X86.
- fixed a sloppy common-style declaration.
- removed an unused macro.
- moved once-used macros to the one file where they are used.
- removed unused forward struct declarations.
- removed __pure.
- declared inline functions as inline in their prototype as well
as in theire definition (gcc unfortunately allows the prototype
to be inconsistent).
- staticized.
dependent operation, and not really a correct name. invltlb and invlpg
are more descriptive, and in the case of invlpg, a real opcode.
Additionally, fix the tlb management code for 386 machines.

comparisons in the inb() and outb() macros. I decided that int args
are OK here. Any type that can hold a u_int16_t without overflow
is correct, and 32-bit types are optimal.
Introduced a few tens of warnings (100 in LINT) for use of pessimized
(short) types for the port arg. Only a few drivers are affected by
this. u_short pessimizations aren't detected.
Added `__extension__' before the statement-expression in inb() so
that it can be compiled without warnings by gcc -pedantic.

Changed i586_ctr_bias from long long to u_int. Only the low 32 bits
are used now that microtime uses a multiplication to do the scaling.
Previously the high 32 bits had to match those of rdtsc() to prevent
overflow traps and invalid timeval adjustments.
problem with the 'shell scripts' was found, but there was a 'strange'
problem found with a 486 laptop that we could not find. This commit

performance issues.
1) The pmap module has had too many inlines, and so the
object file is simply bigger than it needs to be.
Some common code is also merged into subroutines.
2) Removal of some *evil* PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE macro calls.
Unfortunately, a few have needed to be added also.
The removal caused the need for more vm_page_lookups.
I added lookup hints to minimize the need for the
page table lookup operations.
3) Removal of some bogus performance improvements, that
mostly made the code more complex (tracking individual
page table page updates unnecessarily). Those improvements
actually hurt 386 processors perf (not that people who
worry about perf use 386 processors anymore :-)).
4) Changed pv queue manipulations/structures to be TAILQ's.
5) The pv queue code has had some performance problems since
day one. Some significant scalability issues are resolved
by threading the pv entries from the pmap AND the physical
address instead of just the physical address. This makes
certain pmap operations run much faster. This does
not affect most micro-benchmarks, but should help loaded system
performance *significantly*. DG helped and came up with most
of the solution for this one.
6) Most if not all pmap bit operations follow the pattern:
pmap_test_bit();
pmap_clear_bit();
That made for twice the necessary pv list traversal. The
pmap interface now supports only pmap_tc_bit type operations:
pmap_[test/clear]_modified, pmap_[test/clear]_referenced.
Additionally, the modified routine now takes a vm_page_t arg
instead of a phys address. This eliminates a PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
operation.
7) Several rewrites of routines that contain redundant code to
use common routines, so that there is a greater likelihood of
keeping the cache footprint smaller.
Fixed profiling of system times. It was pre-4.4Lite and didn't support
statclocks. System times were too small by a factor of 8.
Handle deferred profiling ticks the 4.4Lite way: use addupc_task() instead
of addupc(). Call addupc_task() directly instead of using the ADDUPC()
macro.
Removed vestigial support for PROFTIMER.
switch.s:
Removed addupc().
resourcevar.h:
Removed ADDUPC() and declarations of addupc().
cpu.h:
Updated a comment. i386's never were tahoe's, and the deferred profiling
tick became (possibly) multiple ticks in 4.4Lite.

ansi and traditional cpp.
The nesting rules of macros are different, which required some changes.
Use __CONCAT(x,y) instead of /**/.
Redo some comments to use /* */ rather than "# comment" because the ansi
cpp cares about those, and also cares about quote matching.
contributions or ideas from Stephen McKay <syssgm@devetir.qld.gov.au>,
Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:
More usage of the TAILQ macros. Additional minor fix to queue.h.
Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
has to run immediately.
Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
and not an entire entry.
7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
fork code from vm_glue. Pushed much of that code into
the machine dependent pmap module.
9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
already zeroed.
Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.) The VM code now
seldom uses splhigh.
Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
of objects with backing objects along with the already
existant condition of having a vnode. (If there is a backing
object, there will likely be a COW... With a COW, it isn't
necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.
Macroize locore.s' page table setup even more, now it's almost readable.
Rename PG_U to PG_A (so that I can...)
Rename PG_u to PG_U. "PG_u" was just too ugly...
Remove some unused vars in pmap.c
Remove PG_KR and PG_KW
Remove SSIZE
Remove SINCR
Remove BTOPKERNBASE
This concludes my spring cleaning, modulus any bug fixes for messes I
have made on the way.
(Funny to be back here in pmap.c, that's where my first significant
contribution to 386BSD was... :-)
time. The results are currently ignored unless certain temporary options
are used.
Added sysctls to support reading and writing the clock frequency variables
(not the frequencies themselves). Writing is supposed to atomically
adjust all related variables.
machdep.c:
Fixed spelling of a function name in a comment so that I can log this
message which should have been with the previous commit.
Initialize `cpu_class' earlier so that it can be used in startrtclock()
instead of in calibrate_cyclecounter() (which no longer exists).
Removed range checking of `cpu'. It is always initialized to CPU_XXX
so it is less likely to be out of bounds than most variables.
clock.h:
Removed I586_CYCLECTR(). Use rdtsc() instead.
clock.c:
TIMER_FREQ is now a variable timer_freq that defaults to the old value of
TIMER_FREQ. #define'ing TIMER_FREQ should still work and may be the best
way of setting the frequency.
Calibration involves counting cycles while watching the RTC for one second.
This gives values correct to within (a few ppm) + (the innaccuracy of the
RTC) on my systems.
page dir+table index.
pmap.h: remove NUPDE, it was wrong and not used. Sanitize KSTKPTEOFF.
vmparam.h: Calculate virtual addr from PDI+PTI from pmap.h rather than
using magic math. Remove UPDT, not used.
regarding apm to LINT
- Disabled the statistics clock on machines which have an APM BIOS and
have the options "APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK" enabled (which is default
in GENERIC now)
- move around some of the code in clock.c dealing with the rtc to make
it more obvios the effects of disabling the statistics clock
