# 207248 26-Apr-2010 marius

Don't bother enabling interrupts before we're ready to handle them. This
prevents the firmware of Fujitsu Siemens PRIMEPOWER250, which both causes
stray interrupts and erroneously enables interrupts at least when calling
SUNW,set-trap-table, in the foot.


# 205409 21-Mar-2010 marius

- The firmware of Sun Fire V1280 has a misfeature of setting %wstate to
7 which corresponds to WSTATE_KMIX in OpenSolaris whenever calling into
it which totally screws us even when restoring %wstate afterwards as
spill/fill traps can happen while in OFW. The rather hackish OpenBSD
approach of just setting the equivalent of WSTATE_KERNEL to 7 also is
no option as we treat %wstate as a bit field. So in order to deal with
this problem actually implement spill/fill handlers for %wstate 7 which
just act as the WSTATE_KERNEL ones except of theoretically also handling
32-bit, turn off interrupts completely so we don't even take IPIs while
in OFW which should ensure we only take spill/fill traps at most and
restore %wstate after calling into OFW once we have taken over the trap
table. While at it, actually set WSTATE_{,PROM}_KMIX before calling into
OFW just like OpenSolaris does, which should at least help testing this
change on non-V1280.
- Remove comments referring to the %wstate usage in BSD/OS.
- Remove the no longer used RSF_ALIGN_RETRY macro.
- Correct some trap table addresses in comments.
- Ensure %wstate is set to WSTATE_KERNEL when taking over the trap table.
- Ensure PSTATE_AM is off when entering or exiting to OFW as well as that
interrupts are also completely off when exiting to OFW as the firmware
trap table shouldn't be used to handle our interrupts.


# 203833 13-Feb-2010 marius

- At least the trap table of the Sun Fire V1280 firmware apparently has
no cleanwindows handler so just remove trying to trigger it from _start
and the AP trampoline code as that leads to a crash there. This should
be okay as leaking data from the OFW via the CPU registers on start of
the kernel should be no real concern.
- Make the comments of _start and the AP trampoline code regarding the
initializations they perform match each other and reality.
- Make the comments of the AP trampoline code regarding iTLB accesses
refer to the right macro.


# 182730 03-Sep-2008 marius

- 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


# 152960 30-Nov-2005 marius

Remove superfluous inclusion of upa.h.


# 114188 28-Apr-2003 jake

- Fix placement of cvs ids in previous commit to match .S files in libc.
- gcc uses 32 byte alignment for functions regardless of profiling, so
follow suit.


# 114085 26-Apr-2003 obrien

I was wrong, the ENTRY bits in asm.h did have a purpose -- for userland.
Restore the bits and remove them from asmacros.h. *.S will now be asm.h
consumers.

# 112398 19-Mar-2003 jake

- Set cpu_impl early in sparc64_init so that we can use it to detect
UltraSPARC III and higher cpus and do needed setup.
- Disable the "system tick" interrupt for UltraSPARC III. This avoids
an interrupt storm on startup since we're not prepared for these at
all. This feature has questionable use anyway.
- Clear tick on startup and then leave it alone.


# 102555 28-Aug-2002 jake

Removed legacy signal trampoline.


# 102040 18-Aug-2002 jake

Add pmap support for user mappings of multiple page sizes (super pages).
This supports all hardware page sizes (8K, 64K, 512K, 4MB), but only 8k
pages are actually used as of yet.


# 100843 28-Jul-2002 jake

Add a symbol for btext.


# 100842 28-Jul-2002 jake

Remove a stale comment.


# 91617 04-Mar-2002 jake

Add support for starting secondary cpus in kernel, as opposed to relying
on the loader to do it. Improve smp startup code to be less racy and to
defer certain things until the right time. This almost boots single user
on my dual ultra 60, it is still very fragile:

SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
# ls
Debugger("trapsig")
Stopped at Debugger+0x1c: ta %xcc, 1
db> heh
No such command

# 91360 27-Feb-2002 jake

Parameterize the number of pages to allocate for the per-cpu area on
PCPU_PAGES.


# 89038 08-Jan-2002 jake

Update comments about _start, the kernel entry point, to reflect new
parameters needed for smp support.
If we are not the boot processor, jump to the smp startup code instead.
Implement a per-cpu panic stack, which is used for bootstrapping both
primary and secondary processors and during faults on the kernel stack.
Arrange the per-cpu page like the pcb, with the struct pcpu at the end
of the page and the panic stack before it.
Use the boot processor's panic stack for calling sparc64_init.
Split the code to set preloaded global registers and to map the kernel
tsb out into functions, which non-boot processors can call.
Allocate the kstack for thread0 dynamically in pmap_bootstrap, and give
it a guard page too.


# 88637 29-Dec-2001 jake

Add .register directive for gcc3.
Enforce in hardware the non-use of floating point in the kernel.


# 86521 18-Nov-2001 jake

1. Remove bootinfo and just pass loader metadata to the kernel.
2. Remove mcontext.mc_sp, it is redundant. Adjust spare space to make
ucontext_t a nice size.
3. Raise pil in the debugger.

# 85242 20-Oct-2001 jake

Align the symbol that demarks the end of the signal code on a 16 byte
boundary. It must be on at least an 8 byte boundary so that the length
of the signal code is a multiple of 8 (well aligned). The size is used
in the calculation of the address of the argument and environment vectors
on the user stack; getting it wrong results in the string pointers being
misaligned and causes alignment faults in getenv() among other things.

Allocate a regular stack frame below the signal frame on the user stack
and join up the frame pointer to the previous frame. This fixes longjmp-ing
out of signal handlers. Longjmp traverses the stack upwards in order to
find the right frame to return to, so the frame pointers must join up
seamlessly. I thought this would just work, but obviously the frame
needs to be below the signal frame, not above it like before. Account
for the extra space in the signal code.

Preload pointers to interrupt data structures in interrupt globals.
This avoids the need to load the pointers from memory in the vectored
interrupt trap handler.

Transfer the first 2 out registers into td_retval in setregs. We use
the same registers for system call arguments as return values, so these
registers got clobbered by the system call return values on return from
execve. They now get clobbered by the right values. We must put the values
in both the out registers in the trapframe and in td_retval because init
calls exec but fails to transfer the return value into the out registers.
This fixes a bug where the first exec after init would pass junk to the
c runtime, instead of a pointer to the argument strings. A better solution
would be to return EJUSTRETURN on success from execve.

Adjust for change in pmap_bootstraps prototype.

Map the message buffer after the trap table is setup. We will fault
on it immediately.


# 84178 30-Sep-2001 jake

Move the pcb the to the top of the kernel stack.
Add a guard page at the bottom of the kernel stack. Its unclear how easy
it will be to detect these faults and do something useful.
Setup the registers on exec how the c runtime expects.
Implement various {fill,set}_*regs.
Fix proc locking.


# 83756 21-Sep-2001 jake

Add kernbase symbol and use it instead of magic numbers in the
linker script.


# 83366 12-Sep-2001 julian

KSE Milestone 2
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

Reviewed by: jake


# 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
