already supported nested PICs, but was limited to having a nested
AT-PIC only. With G5 support the need for nested OpenPIC controllers
needed to be added. This was done the wrong way and broke the MPC8555
eval system in the process.
OFW, as well as FDT, describe the interrupt routing in terms of a
controller and an interrupt pin on it. This needs to be mapped to a
flat and global resource: the IRQ. The IRQ is the same as the PCI
intline and as such needs to be representable in 8 bits. Secondly,
ISA support pretty much dictates that IRQ 0-15 should be reserved
for ISA interrupts, because of the internal workins of south bridges.
Both were broken.
This change reverts revision 209298 for a big part and re-implements
it simpler. In particular:
o The id() method of the PIC I/F is removed again. It's not needed.
o The openpic_attach() function has been changed to take the OFW
or FDT phandle of the controller as a second argument. All bus
attachments that previously used openpic_attach() as the attach
method of the device I/F now implement as bus-specific method
and pass the phandle_t to the renamed openpic_attach().
o Change powerpc_register_pic() to take a few more arguments. In
particular:
- Pass the number of IPIs specificly. The number of IRQs carved
out for a PIC is the sum of the number of int. pins and IPIs.
- Pass a flag indicating whether the PIC is an AT-PIC or not.
This tells the interrupt framework whether to assign IRQ 0-15
or some other range.
o Until we implement proper multi-pass bus enumeration, we have to
handle the case where we need to map from PIC+pin to IRQ *before*
the PIC gets registered. This is done in a similar way as before,
but rather than carving out 256 IRQs per PIC, we carve out 128
IRQs (124 pins + 4 IPIs). This is supposed to handle the G5 case,
but should really be fixed properly using multiple passes.
o Have the interrupt framework set root_pic in most cases and not
put that burden in PIC drivers (for the most part).
o Remove powerpc_ign_lookup() and replace it with powerpc_get_irq().
Remove IGN_SHIFT, INTR_INTLINE and INTR_IGN.
Related to the above, fix the Freescale PCI controller driver, broken
by the FDT code. Besides not attaching properly, bus numbers were
assigned improperly and enumeration was broken in general. This
prevented the AT PIC from being discovered and interrupt routing to
work properly. Consequently, the ata(4) controller stopped functioning.
Fix the driver, and FDT PCI support, enough to get the MPC8555CDS
going again. The FDT PCI code needs a whole lot more work.
No breakages are expected, but lackiong G5 hardware, it's possible
that there are unpleasant side-effects. At least MPC85xx support is
back to where it was 7 months ago -- it's amazing how badly support
can be broken in just 7 months...

work properly with single-stepping in a kernel debugger. Specifically,

count and restored the prior state of interrupts after decreasing the nesting
count to avoid problems with a nested interrupt not disabling interrupts
when acquiring a spin lock. However, trap interrupts for single-stepping
can still occur even when interrupts are disabled. Now the saved state of
interrupts is not saved in the thread until after interrupts have been
disabled and the nesting count has been increased. Similarly, the saved

any spin locks acquired between the enabling of interrupts in
machdep_ap_bootstrap() and the invocation of the scheduler would fail to
have interrupts disabled due to the fake spinlock already held by the
idle thread. sched_throw(NULL) will enable interrupts by itself when
exiting this spinlock, so just let it do that and don't enable interrupts
here.
The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.
There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.
As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

the existing code was very platform specific, and broken for SMP systems
trying to reboot from KDB.
- Add a new PLATFORM_RESET() method to the platform KOBJ interface, and
migrate existing reset functions into platform modules.
- Modify the OF_reboot() routine to submit the request by hand to avoid
the IPIs involved in the regular openfirmware() routine. This fixes
reboot from KDB on SMP machines.
- Move non-KDB reset and poweroff functions on the Powermac platform
into the relevant power control drivers (cuda, pmu, smu), instead of
using them through the Open Firmware backdoor.
- Rename platform_chrp to platform_powermac since it has become
increasingly Powermac specific. When we gain support for IBM systems,
we will grow a new platform_chrp.
In particular, provide pagesize and pagesizes array, the canary value
for SSP use, number of host CPUs and osreldate.

IPI to a specific CPU by its cpuid. Replace calls to ipi_selected() that
constructed a mask for a single CPU with calls to ipi_cpu() instead. This
will matter more in the future when we transition from cpumask_t to
cpuset_t for CPU masks in which case building a CPU mask is more expensive.

zones for each malloc bucket size. The purpose is to isolate
different malloc types into hash classes, so that any buffer overruns
or use-after-free will usually only affect memory from malloc types in
that hash class. This is purely a debugging tool; by varying the hash
function and tracking which hash class was corrupted, the intersection
of the hash classes from each instance will point to a single malloc
type that is being misused. At this point inspection or memguard(9)
can be used to catch the offending code.
Add MALLOC_DEBUG_MAXZONES=8 to -current GENERIC configuration files.
The suggestion to have this on by default came from Kostik Belousov on

This code is based on work by Ron Steinke at Isilon Systems.

now it uses a very dumb first-touch allocation policy. This will change in
the future.
- Each architecture indicates the maximum number of supported memory domains
via a new VM_NDOMAIN parameter in <machine/vmparam.h>.
- Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain
a CPU belongs to. Domain values are dense and numbered from 0.
- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist
(VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain.
The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures.
Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a
domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single
domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero.
This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that
fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists.
- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is
used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the
per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order
the per-domain lookup lists based on the penalty for each memory domain
relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a
new vm.phys.lookup_lists sysctl.
- The first-touch policy is implemented by using PCPU_GET(domain) to
pick a lookup list when allocating memory.

The following systems are affected:
- MPC8555CDS
- MPC8572DS
This overhaul covers the following major changes:
- All integrated peripherals drivers for Freescale MPC85XX SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).
- This includes: LBC, PCI / PCI-Express, I2C, DS1553, OpenPIC, TSEC, SEC,
QUICC, UART, CFI.
- Thanks to the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) we retire
ocpbus(4) driver, which was based on hard-coded config data.
Note that world for these platforms has to be built WITH_FDT.

a virtual-mode version for use on 64-bit systems, which have 32-bit
firmware implementations and require similar constraints on addressing
to the real-mode implementation.
Because slave PICs send all interrupts to their CPU 0 output line (which
is routed to a pin on the master PIC), changes to per-CPU register banks
like EOI on the slave PIC must be accessed for CPU 0, instead of the
CPU actually processing the interrupt.
