peter 4d88d6566a Revive backed out pmap related changes from Feb 2002. The highlights are:
- It actually works this time, honest!
- Fine grained TLB shootdowns for SMP on i386.  IPI's are very expensive,
  so try and optimize things where possible.
- Introduce ranged shootdowns that can be done as a single IPI.
- PG_G support for i386
- Specific-cpu targeted shootdowns.  For example, there is no sense in
  globally purging the TLB cache for where we are stealing a page from
  the local unshared process on the local cpu.  Use pm_active to track
  this.
- Add some instrumentation for the tlb shootdown code.
- Rip out SMP code from <machine/cpufunc.h>
- Try and fix some very bogus PG_G and PG_PS interactions that were bad
  enough to cause vm86 bios calls to break.  vm86 depended on our existing
  bugs and this was the cause of the VESA panics last time.
- Fix the silly one-line error that caused the 'panic: bad pte' last time.
- Fix a couple of other silly one-line errors that should have caused more
  pain than they did.

Some more work is needed:
- pmap_{zero,copy}_page[_idle].  These can be done without IPI's if we
  have a hook in cpu_switch.
- The IPI handlers need some cleanup.  I have a bogus %ds load that can
  be avoided.
- APTD handling is rather bogus and appears to be a large source of
  global TLB IPI shootdowns for no really good reason.

I see speedups of between 1.5% and ~4% on buildworlds in a while 1 loop.
I expect to see a bigger difference when there is significant pageout
activity or the system otherwise has memory shortages.

I have backed out a few optimizations that I had been using over the last
few days in order to be a little more conservative.  I'll revisit these
again over the next few days as the dust settles.

New option:  DISABLE_PG_G - In case I missed something.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
