# 230426 21-Jan-2012 kib

Add support for the extended FPU states on amd64, both for native
64bit and 32bit ABIs. As a side-effect, it enables AVX on capable
CPUs.

In particular:

- Query the CPU support for XSAVE, list of the supported extensions
and the required size of FPU save area. The hw.use_xsave tunable is
provided for disabling XSAVE, and hw.xsave_mask may be used to
select the enabled extensions.

- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the
(run-time sized) user save area on the top of the kernel stack,
right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to
postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.

- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as
well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in
dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.

- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and
enabled.

- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that
mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU
state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu
state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag,
allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended
state in the interrupted context.

- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no
place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save
area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it
impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending
getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query
extended FPU state.

- Add ptrace(2) support for getting and setting extended state; while
there, implement missed PT_I386_{GET,SET}XMMREGS for 32bit binaries.

- Change fpu_kern KPI to not expose struct fpu_kern_ctx layout to
consumers, making it opaque. Internally, struct fpu_kern_ctx now
contains a space for the extended state. Convert in-kernel consumers
of fpu_kern KPI both on i386 and amd64.

First version of the support for AVX was submitted by Tim Bird
<tim.bird am sony com> on behalf of Sony. This version was written
from scratch.

# 220238 01-Apr-2011 kib

Add support for executing the FreeBSD 1/i386 a.out binaries on amd64.

In particular:
- implement compat shims for old stat(2) variants and ogetdirentries(2);
- implement delivery of signals with ancient stack frame layout and
corresponding sigreturn(2);
- implement old getpagesize(2);
- provide a user-mode trampoline and LDT call gate for lcall $7,$0;
- port a.out image activator and connect it to the build as a module
on amd64.

The changes are hidden under COMPAT_43.

# 205642 25-Mar-2010 nwhitehorn

Change the arguments of exec_setregs() so that it receives a pointer
to the image_params struct instead of several members of that struct
individually. This makes it easier to expand its arguments in the future
without touching all platforms.

# 190616 01-Apr-2009 kib

Add all segment registers for the amd64 CPU to struct reg and mcontext.
To keep these structures ABI-compatible, half the size of r_trapno,
r_err, mc_trapno, mc_flags.

Add fsbase and gsbase to mcontext on both amd64 and i386.
Add flags to amd64 mcontext to indicate that it contains valid segments
or bases.

# 163018 04-Oct-2006 davidxu

Move some declaration of 32-bit signal structures into file
freebsd32-signal.h, implement sigtimedwait and sigwaitinfo system calls.


# 153180 06-Dec-2005 peter

Catch up to the system siginfo changes. Use a union for the ia32 layout
of siginfo just like the system one. There are now two fields to copy
instead of one.


# 151316 14-Oct-2005 davidxu

1. Change prototype of trapsignal and sendsig to use ksiginfo_t *, most
changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.

2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.

3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.

4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.

5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.

6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.

# 144689 05-Apr-2005 peter

Fix 32 bit signals on amd64. It turns out that I was sign extending
the register values coming back from sigreturn(2). Normally this wouldn't
matter because the 32 bit environment would truncate the upper 32 bits
and re-save the truncated values at the next trap. However, if we got
a fast second signal and it was pending while we were returning from
sigreturn(2) in the signal trampoline, we'd never have had a chance to
truncate the bogus values in 32 bit mode, and the new sendsig would get
an EFAULT when trying to write to the bogus user stack address.


# 128262 14-Apr-2004 peter

Check in structure definitions for the FreeBSD-3.x signal syscall stuff.
Nothing uses these yet, but I dont want to lose them.


# 126091 21-Feb-2004 peter

Add a note about the landmine in the middle of struct ia32_sigframe.


# 122303 08-Nov-2003 peter

Move a MD 32 bit binary support routine into the MD areas. exec_setregs
is highly MD in an emulation environment since it operates on the host
environment. Although the setregs functions are really for exec support
rather than signals, they deal with the same sorts of context and include
files. So I put it there rather than create yet another file.


# 122277 08-Nov-2003 peter

Point the description of the fpu data in the context structures to
i386/include/npx.h instead of the host's machine/npx.h (which might not
exist)


# 121719 30-Oct-2003 peter

Add CTASSERT()'s to check that the sizes of our replicas of the 32 bit
structures come out the right size.

Fix the ones that broke. stat32 had some missing fields from the end
and statfs32 was broken due to the strange definition of MNAMELEN
(which is dependent on sizeof(long))

I'm not sure if this fixes any actual problems or not.


# 114987 14-May-2003 peter

Add BASIC i386 binary support for the amd64 kernel. This is largely
stolen from the ia64/ia32 code (indeed there was a repocopy), but I've
redone the MD parts and added and fixed a few essential syscalls. It
is sufficient to run i386 binaries like /bin/ls, /usr/bin/id (dynamic)
and p4. The ia64 code has not implemented signal delivery, so I had
to do that.

Before you say it, yes, this does need to go in a common place. But
we're in a freeze at the moment and I didn't want to risk breaking ia64.
I will sort this out after the freeze so that the common code is in a
common place.

On the AMD64 side, this required adding segment selector context switch
support and some other support infrastructure. The %fs/%gs etc code
is hairy because loading %gs will clobber the kernel's current MSR_GSBASE
setting. The segment selectors are not used by the kernel, so they're only
changed at context switch time or when changing modes. This still needs
to be optimized.
