WB (write-back) on x86 via control bits in PTEs and PDEs (including making
use of the PAT MSR). Changes include:
- A new pmap_mapdev_attr() function for amd64 and i386 which takes an
additional parameter (relative to pmap_mapdev()) specifying the cache
mode for this mapping. Note that on amd64 only WB mappings are done with
the direct map, all other modes result in a private mapping.
- pmap_mapdev() on i386 and amd64 now defaults to using UC (uncached)
mappings rather than WB. Previously we relied on the BIOS setting up
MTRR's to enforce memio regions being treated as UC. This might make
hw.cbb_start_memory unnecessary in some cases now for example.
- A new pmap_mapbios()/pmap_unmapbios() API has been added to allow places
that used pmap_mapdev() to map non-device memory (such as ACPI tables)
to do so using WB as before.

system's machine-dependent and machine-independent layers. Once
pmap_clear_write() is implemented on all of our supported
architectures, I intend to replace all calls to pmap_page_protect() by
calls to pmap_clear_write(). Why? Both the use and implementation of
pmap_page_protect() in our virtual memory system has subtle errors,
specifically, the management of execute permission is broken on some
architectures. The "prot" argument to pmap_page_protect() should
behave differently from the "prot" argument to other pmap functions.
Instead of meaning, "give the specified access rights to all of the
physical page's mappings," it means "don't take away the specified
access rights from all of the physical page's mappings, but do take
away the ones that aren't specified." However, owing to our i386
legacy, i.e., no support for no-execute rights, all but one invocation
of pmap_page_protect() specifies VM_PROT_READ only, when the intent
is, in fact, to remove only write permission. Consequently, a
faithful implementation of pmap_page_protect(), e.g., ia64, would
remove execute permission as well as write permission. On the other
hand, some architectures that support execute permission have
basically ignored whether or not VM_PROT_EXECUTE is passed to
pmap_page_protect(), e.g., amd64 and sparc64. This change represents
the first step in replacing pmap_page_protect() by the less subtle
pmap_clear_write() that is already implemented on amd64, i386, and

pmap_enter_quick_locked() waits and later pmap_enter_object() maps
the cache page violating the invariant that cache pages are never
mapped. Similarly, change
pmap_enter_quick_locked() to call pmap_try_insert_pv_entry() rather

pmap_enter_quick_locked() is used to create speculative mappings. So,
it should not try hard to allocate memory if free memory is scarce.

algorithm to detect an interactive process is almost completely
different with ULE, it comes from Linux paper "Understanding the
Linux 2.6.8.1 CPU Scheduler", although I still use same word
"score" as a priority boost in ULE scheduler.
Briefly, the scheduler has following characteristic:
1. Timesharing process's nice value is seriously respected,
timeslice and interaction detecting algorithm are based
on nice value.
2. per-cpu scheduling queue and load balancing.
3. O(1) scheduling.
4. Some cpu affinity code in wakeup path.
5. Support POSIX SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
Unlike scheduler 4BSD and ULE which using fuzzy RQ_PPQ, the scheduler
uses 256 priority queues. Unlike ULE which using pull and push, the
scheduelr uses pull method, the main reason is to let relative idle
cpu do the work, but current the whole scheduler is protected by the
big sched_lock, so the benefit is not visible, it really can be worse
than nothing because all other cpu are locked out when we are doing
balancing work, which the 4BSD scheduelr does not have this problem.
The scheduler does not support hyperthreading very well, in fact,
the scheduler does not make the difference between physical CPU and
logical CPU, this should be improved in feature. The scheduler has
priority inversion problem on MP machine, it is not good for
realtime scheduling, it can cause realtime process starving.

other timeouts could not happen while suspending, including timeouts
for things like msleep. This caused the system to hang on suspend
when the cbb was enabled, since its suspend path powered down the
socket which used a timeout to wait for it to be done.
APM now creates a thread when it is enabled, and deletes the thread
when it is disabled. This thread takes the place of the timeout by
doing its polling every ~.9s. When the thread is disabled, it will
wakeup early, otherwise it times out and polls the varius things the
old timeout polled (APM events, suspend delays, etc).
This makes my Sony VAIO 505TS suspend/resume correctly when APM is
enabled (ACPI is black listed on my 505TS).
This will likely fix other problems with the suspend path where
drivers would sleep with msleep and/or do other timeouts. Maybe
there's some special case code that would use DELAY while suspending
and msleep otherwise that can be revisited and removed.

Linprocfs uses this to display the major number of the driver. The

Linux_stat uses it to translate the major/minor into Linux type values.
Note major numbers are dynamically assigned via passing in a -1 for

Remove the code to dyanmically change the pv_entry limits. Go back
to a single fixed kva reservation for pv entries, like was done
before when using the uma zone. Go back to never freeing pages
back to the free pool after they are no longer used, just like
before.
This stops the lock order reversal due to aquiring the kernel map
lock while pmap was locked.
This fixes the recursive panic if invariants are enabled.
The problem was that allocating/freeing kva causes vm_map_entry
nodes to be allocated/freed. That can recurse back into pmap as
new pages are hooked up to kvm and hence all the problem.
Allocating/freeing kva indirectly allocate/frees memory.
So, by going back to a single fixed size kva block and an index,
we avoid the recursion panics and the LOR.
The problem is that now with a linear block of kva, we have no
mechanism to track holes once pages are freed. UMA has the same
problem when using custom object for a zone and a fixed reservation
of kva. Simple solutions like having a bitmap would work, but would
be very inefficient when there are hundreds of thousands of bits
in the map. A first-free pointer is similarly flawed because pages
can be freed at random and the first-free pointer would be rewinding
huge amounts. If we could allocate memory for tree strucures or
an external freelist, that would work. Except we cannot allocate/free
memory here because we cannot allocate/free address space to use
it in. Anyway, my change here reverts back to the UMA behavior of
not freeing pages for now, thereby avoiding holes in the map.
ups@ had a truely evil idea that I'll investigate. It should allow
freeing unused pages again by giving us a no-cost way to track the
holes in the kva block. But in the meantime, this should get people
booting with witness and/or invariants again.
Footnote: amd64 doesn't have this problem because of the direct map
access method. I'd done all my witness/invariants testing there. I'd
never considered that the harmless-looking kmem_alloc/kmem_free calls
would cause such a problem and it didn't show up on the boot test.

per page = effectively 12.19 bytes per pv entry after overheads).
Instead of using a shared UMA zone for 24 byte pv entries (two 8-byte tailq
nodes, a 4 byte pointer, and a 4 byte address), we allocate a page at a
time per process. This provides 336 pv entries per process (actually, per
pmap address space) and eliminates one of the 8-byte tailq entries since
we now can track per-process pv entries implicitly. The pointer to
the pmap can be eliminated by doing address arithmetic to find the metadata
on the page headers to find a single pointer shared by all 336 entries.
There is an 11-int bitmap for the freelist of those 336 entries.
This is mostly a mechanical conversion from amd64, except:
* i386 has to allocate kvm and map the pages, amd64 has them outside of kvm
* native word size is smaller, so bitmaps etc become 32 bit instead of 64
* no dump_add_page() etc stuff because they are in kvm always.
* various pmap internals tweaks because pmap uses direct map on amd64 but
on i386 it has to use sched_pin and temporary mappings.
Also, sysctl vm.pmap.pv_entry_max and vm.pmap.shpgperproc are now
dynamic sysctls. Like on amd64, i386 can now tune the pv entry limits
without a recompile or reboot.
This is important because of the following scenario. If you have a 1GB
file (262144 pages) mmap()ed into 50 processes, that requires 13 million
pv entries. At 24 bytes per pv entry, that is 314MB of ram and kvm, while
at 12 bytes it is 157MB. A 157MB saving is significant.

Use pmap_try_insert_pv_entry() in pmap_copy() instead of

Eliminate the explicit low-memory checks in pmap_copy(). The check that
the number of pv entries was below the high water mark was largely
ineffective because it was located in the outer loop rather than the
inner loop where pv entries were allocated. Instead of checking, we
attempt the allocation and handle the failure.

Previously, we tried to allow this only for root. However, we were calling
suser() on the *target* process rather than the current process. This
means that if you can ptrace() a process running as root you can set a
hardware watch point in the kernel. In practice I think you probably have
to be root in order to pass the p_candebug() checks in ptrace() to attach
to a process running as root anyway. Rather than fix the suser(), I just
axed the entire idea, as I can't think of any good reason _at all_ for
userland to set hardware watch points for KVM.

- Throw out all of the logical APIC ID stuff. The Intel docs are somewhat
ambiguous, but it seems that the "flat" cluster model we are currently
using is only supported on Pentium and P6 family CPUs. The other
"hierarchy" cluster model that is supported on all Intel CPUs with
local APICs is severely underdocumented. For example, it's not clear
if the OS needs to glean the topology of the APIC hierarchy from
somewhere (neither ACPI nor MP Table include it) and setup the logical
clusters based on the physical hierarchy or not. Not only that, but on
certain Intel chipsets, even though there were 4 CPUs in a logical
cluster, all the interrupts were only sent to one CPU anyway.
- We now bind interrupts to individual CPUs using physical addressing via
the local APIC IDs. This code has also moved out of the ioapic PIC
driver and into the common interrupt source code so that it can be
shared with MSI interrupt sources since MSI is addressed to APICs the
same way that I/O APIC pins are.
- Interrupt source classes grow a new method pic_assign_cpu() to bind an
interrupt source to a specific local APIC ID.
- The SMP code now tells the interrupt code which CPUs are avaiable to
handle interrupts in a simpler and more intuitive manner. For one thing,
it means we could now choose to not route interrupts to HT cores if we
wanted to (this code is currently in place in fact, but under an #if 0
for now).
- For now we simply do static round-robin of IRQs to CPUs when the first
interrupt handler just as before, with the change that IRQs are now
bound to individual CPUs rather than groups of up to 4 CPUs.
- Because the IRQ to CPU mapping has now been moved up a layer, it would
be easier to manage this mapping from higher levels. For example, we
could allow drivers to specify a CPU affinity map for their interrupts,
or we could allow a userland tool to bind IRQs to specific CPUs.
The MFC is tentative, but I want to see if this fixes problems some folks
had with UP APIC kernels on 6.0 on SMP machines (an SMP kernel would work
fine, but a UP APIC kernel (such as GENERIC in RELENG_6) would lose
interrupts).

- Reorder the events in exit(2) slightly so that we trigger the S_EXIT
stop event earlier. After we have signalled that, we set P_WEXIT and
then wait for any processes with a hold on the vmspace via PHOLD to
release it. PHOLD now KASSERT()'s that P_WEXIT is clear when it is
invoked, and PRELE now does a wakeup if P_WEXIT is set and p_lock drops
to zero.
- Change proc_rwmem() to require that the processing read from has its
vmspace held via PHOLD by the caller and get rid of all the junk to
screw around with the vmspace reference count as we no longer need it.
- In ptrace() and pseudofs(), treat a process with P_WEXIT set as if it
doesn't exist.
- Only do one PHOLD in kern_ptrace() now, and do it earlier so it covers
FIX_SSTEP() (since on alpha at least this can end up calling proc_rwmem()
to clear an earlier single-step simualted via a breakpoint). We only
do one to avoid races. Also, by making the EINVAL error for unknown
requests be part of the default: case in the switch, the various
switch cases can now just break out to return which removes a _lot_ of
duplicated PRELE and proc unlocks, etc. Also, it fixes at least one bug
where a LWP ptrace command could return EINVAL with the proc lock still
held.
- Changed the locking for ptrace_single_step(), ptrace_set_pc(), and
ptrace_clear_single_step() to always be called with the proc lock
held (it was a mixed bag previously). Alpha and arm have to drop
the lock while the mess around with breakpoints, but other archs
avoid extra lock release/acquires in ptrace(). I did have to fix a
couple of other consumers in kern_kse and a few other places to
hold the proc lock and PHOLD.

The patch crudely forces the NIC out of operating mode before the nve(4)
driver can initialize it; this is required to properly initialize the NIC.
It is XBox-specific, as this condition can only occur on XBoxes (Most loaders
will simply leave the NIC running, forcing us to use a crude workaround like
this to get it in a workable condition). Due to the XBox-only aspect, this has
been solved in XBox-specific initialization code and not within nve(4).

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a
trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity.
- Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.

if the boot CPU has a local APIC because some BIOS vendors are not
competent enough to set this bit. Instead, just assume that we always have
a local APIC on amd64. For i386 the check is a bit more subtle. FreeBSD
requires either an MP Table or an ACPI MADT table to enumerate APICs. The
only systems that have one of those tables that don't have local APICs are
some presumably rare (and old) SMP 486 systems using external APICs. Thus,
instead of checking the CPUID_APIC flag, check the CPU class and abort if
