# 230633 27-Jan-2012 marius

Now that we have a working OF_printf() since r230631 and a OF_panic()
helper since r230632, use these for output and panicing during the
early cycles and move cninit() until after the static per-CPU data
has been set up. This solves a couple of issue regarding the non-
availability of the static per-CPU data:
- panic() not working and only making things worse when called,
- having to supply a special DELAY() implementation to the low-level
console drivers,
- curthread accesses of mutex(9) usage in low-level console drivers
that aren't conditional due to compiler optimizations (basically,
this is the problem described in r227537 but in this case for
keyboards attached via uart(4)). [1]

- USIII-based machines can consist of CPUs running at different
frequencies (and having different cache sizes) so use the STICK
(System TICK) timer, which was introduced due to this and is
driven by the same frequency across all CPUs, instead of the
TICK timer, whose frequency varies with the CPU clock, to drive
hardclock. We try to use the STICK counter with all CPUs that are
USIII or beyond, even when not necessary due to identical CPUs,
as we can can also avoid the workaround for the BlackBird erratum
#1 there. Unfortunately, using the STICK counter currently causes
a hang with USIIIi MP machines for reasons unknown, so we still
use the TICK timer there (which is okay as they can only consist
of identical CPUs).
- Given that we only (try to) synchronize the (S)TICK timers of APs
with the BSP during startup, we could end up spinning forever in
DELAY(9) if that function is migrated to another CPU while we're
spinning due to clock drift afterwards, so pin to the CPU in order
to avoid migration. Unfortunately, pinning doesn't work at the
point DELAY(9) is required by the low-level console drivers, yet,
so switch to a function pointer, which is updated accordingly, for
implementing DELAY(9). For USIII and beyond, this would also allow
to easily use the STICK counter instead of the TICK one here,
there's no benefit in doing so however.
While at it, use cpu_spinwait(9) for spinning in the delay-
functions. This currently is a NOP though.
- Don't set the TICK timer of the BSP to 0 during at startup as
there's no need to do so.
- Implement cpu_est_clockrate().
- Unfortunately, USIIIi-based machines don't provide a timecounter
device besides the STICK and TICK counters (well, in theory the
Tomatillo bridges have a performance counter that can be (ab)used
as timecounter by configuring it to count bus cycles, though unlike
the performance counter of Schizo bridges, the Tomatillo one is
broken and counts Sun knows what in this mode). This means that
we've to use a (S)TICK counter for timecounting, which has the old
problem of not being in sync across CPUs, so provide an additional
timecounter function which binds itself to the BSP but has an
adequate low priority.

cosmetic changes and style fixes


# 177642 26-Mar-2008 phk

The "free-lance" timer in the i8254 is only used for the speaker
these days, so de-generalize the acquire_timer/release_timer api
to just deal with speakers.

The new (optional) MD functions are:
timer_spkr_acquire()
timer_spkr_release()
and
timer_spkr_setfreq()

the last of which configures the timer to generate a tone of a given
frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.

Drop entirely timer2 on pc98, it is not used anywhere at all.

Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if
they exist, and do nothing otherwise.

Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()
functions from the non-beeping archs.

This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.

Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.

In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from
the KDMKTONE ioctl in terms if 1/1193182th second, so we hardcode
the 1193182 and leave it at that. It's probably not important.

Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.

This eliminates the knowledge of i8254_freq from all but the actual
clock.c code and the prof_machdep.c on amd64 and i386, where I think
it would be smart to ask for help from the timecounters anyway [TBD].


# 110296 03-Feb-2003 jake

Split statclock into statclock and profclock, and made the method for driving
statclock based on profhz when profiling is enabled MD, since most platforms
don't use this anyway. This removes the need for statclock_process, whose
only purpose was to subdivide profhz, and gets the profiling clock running
outside of sched_lock on platforms that implement suswintr.
Also changed the interface for starting and stopping the profiling clock to
do just that, instead of changing the rate of statclock, since they can now
be separate.

Start tick at the correct time (cpu_init_clocks), instead of cpu_startup.


# 104271 01-Oct-2002 jake

Get rid of the TODO macro in the few places that still need work; either
comment it out or change to explicit panics. It conflicts with things
like #if TODO in drivers.

are used.

# 80709 31-Jul-2001 jake

Flesh out the sparc64 port considerably. This contains:
- mostly complete kernel pmap support, and tested but currently turned
off userland pmap support
- low level assembly language trap, context switching and support code
- fully implemented atomic.h and supporting cpufunc.h
- some support for kernel debugging with ddb
- various header tweaks and filling out of machine dependent structures


# 80708 31-Jul-2001 jake

Add skeleton machine dependent headers and c files for a port of freebsd
to a new architecture. This is the base of the sparc64 port, but contains
limited machine dependent code, and can be used a base for ports. Included
are:
- standard machine dependent headers, tweaked for a 64 bit, big endian
architecture, including empty versions of all the machine dependent
structures
- a machine independent atomic.h, which can be used until a port has
support for interrupts and the operations really need to be atomic
- stub versions of all the machine dependent functions, which panic
when called and print out the name of the function that needs to
be implemented. functions which are normally in assembly files are
not included, but this should reduce the number of different undefined
references on the first few compiles from hundreds to 5 or 6
Given minimal startup code and console support it should be trivial to
make this compile and run the first few sysinits on almost any architecture.
