purpose of this is to test 64-bit cleanness of the data path by setting
hw.physmemstart=4G so that all physical allocations are above 4GB. AMD64
and i386/PAE could also benefit from having this option.
is already bounded by hw.physmem to calculate phys_avail[] - previously only
real_phys_avail[] was being bound by hw.physmem so we were allocating memory
that wasn't mapped in the direct map
- shuffle memory range following kernel to the beginning of phys_avail
- have the direct area use 256MB pages where possible
- remove dead code from the end of pmap_bootstrap
- have pmap_alloc_contig_pages check all memory ranges in phys_avail before
giving up
- informal benchmarking indicates a ~5% speedup on buildworld
Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.
Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.
The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.
The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.
Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.
- create real_phys_avail which includes all memory ranges to be added to the direct map
- merge in nucleus memory to real_phys_avail
- distinguish between tag VA and index VA in tsb_set_tte_real for cases where page_size != index_page_size
- clean up direct map loop
by default for sun4v where it is absolutely required.
This change moves the buffer from struct pcpu to the stack to avoid
using the critical section which created a LOR in a couple of cases
due to interaction with the tty code and kqueue. The LOR can't be
fixed with the critical section and the pcpu buffer can't be used
without the critical section.
Putting the buffer on the stack was my initial solution, but it was
pointed out that the stress on the stack might cause problems
depending on the call path. We don't have a way of creating tests
for those possible cases, so it's best to leave this as an option
for the time being. In time we may get enough data to enable this
option more generally.
retrieval, rather than using pad
- save the fault address in sfar for use by the alignment fixup handler
- mask off the trap number, so the context id doesn't confuse the UT_MAX
comparison
This change fixes alignment fixup handling which is needed for traceroute
to work in spite of its copious unaligned accesses
as this happens much earlier in trap handling.
The fact that we continued to do this when it was no longer necessary caused
breapoint to map to SIGILL as opposed to SIGTRAP :-(.

flags from M_WAITOK to M_NOWAIT. This should not cause any problems
since the calling code appears to properly handle failed allocations.

from hcall.S because there is zero flexibility in the implementation of hypercalls as they derive
directly from the hypervisor interface which is not copyrighted (ironically the source for the
hypervisor itself is BSD licensed).
It is best to start any bikeshed about this as soon as possible.

the architecture has a system synchronized TSC, the profiling code will
use that - thereby minimizing profiling overhead. Large chunks of profiling
code have been moved out of line, the overhead measured on the T1 for when
it is compiled in but not enabled is < 1%.

For the record, the KDTRACE option caused _no_ additional source files
to be compiled in; certainly no CDDL source files. All it did was to
allow existing BSD licensed kernel files to include one or more CDDL
header files.
By removing this from DEFAULTS, the onus is on a kernel builder to add
the option to the kernel config, possibly by including GENERIC and
customising from there. It means that DTrace won't be a feature
available in FreeBSD by default, which is the way I intended it to be.
Without this option, you can't load the dtrace module (which contains
the dtrace device and the DTrace framework). This is equivalent to
requiring an option in a kernel config before you can load the linux
emulation module, for example.
I think it is a mistake to have DTrace ported to FreeBSD, but not
to have it available to everyone, all the time. The only exception
to this is the companies which distribute systems with FreeBSD embedded.
Those companies will customise their systems anyway. The KDTRACE
option was intended for them, and only them.
adds the hooks that DTrace modules register with, and adds a few functions
which have the dtrace_ prefix to allow the DTrace FBT (function boundary
trace) provider to avoid tracing because they are called from the DTtrace
probe context.
Unlike other forms of tracing and debug, DTrace support in the kernel
incurs negligible run-time cost.
I think the only reason why anyone wouldn't want to have kernel support
enabled for DTrace would be due to the license (CDDL) under which DTrace
is released.

as appropriate so the bytes which exceed the width of the respective
__bswapN_const() macro in invocations like __bswap16_const(0xdead600d)
