# 235622 18-May-2012 iwasaki

Add SMP/i386 suspend/resume support.
Most part is merged from amd64.

- i386/acpica/acpi_wakecode.S
Replaced with amd64 code (from realmode to paging enabling code).

- i386/acpica/acpi_wakeup.c
Replaced with amd64 code (except for wakeup_pagetables stuff).

- i386/include/pcb.h
- i386/i386/genassym.c
Added PCB new members (CR0, CR2, CR4, DS, ED, FS, SS, GDT, IDT, LDT
and TR) needed for suspend/resume, not for context switch.

- i386/i386/swtch.s
Added suspendctx() and resumectx().
Note that savectx() was not changed and used for suspending (while
amd64 code uses it).
BSP and AP execute the same sequence, suspendctx(), acpi_wakecode()
and resumectx() for suspend/resume (in case of UP system also).

- i386/i386/apic_vector.s
Added cpususpend().

- i386/i386/mp_machdep.c

self-snoop, but implemented clflush, for i386.

Take care of possible mappings of the page by sf buffer by utilizing
the mapping for clflush, otherwise map the page transiently. Amd64

# 157909 21-Apr-2006 peter

Merge minidumps from amd64 where they were originally developed.

Major differences:
* since there is no direct map region, there is no custom uma memory
allocator to modify to include its pages in the dumps.
* Various data entries are reduced from 64 bit to 32 bit to match the
native size.

dump_add_page() and dump_drop_page() are still present in case one wants to
arrange for arbitary pages to be dumped. This is of marginal use though
because libkvm+kgdb cannot address physical memory that isn't mapped into
kvm.

# 147691 30-Jun-2005 peter

Begin promoting the AMD-originated feature flags to first class flags, now
that newer Intel cpu hardware implements them too. This includes things
like the NX (pte no-execute) flag for execute protection. We'll need to
reference this for implementing no-exec in pmap.c at some point.

Some feature flags are duplicated in both the Intel-orignated bits and
the AMD bits. Suppress the the duplicates correctly - the old code
assumed they were a 1:1 mapping which is not correct. We can't just mask
off the bits present in cpu_feature.

Converge with amd64 where this originated from.

Intel cpu's that implement any AMD features will report them in dmesg now.

# 116930 27-Jun-2003 peter

Tidy up leftover lazy_switch instrumentation that is no longer needed.
This cleans up some #ifdef hell.


# 113090 04-Apr-2003 des

Define ovbcopy() as a macro which expands to the equivalent bcopy() call,
to take care of the KAME IPv6 code which needs ovbcopy() because NetBSD's
bcopy() doesn't handle overlap like ours.

Remove all implementations of ovbcopy().

Previously, bzero was a function pointer on i386, to save a jmp to
bzero_vector. Get rid of this microoptimization as it only confuses
things, adds machine-dependent code to an MD header, and doesn't really
save all that much.

This commit does not add my pagezero() / pagecopy() code.


# 112993 02-Apr-2003 peter

Commit a partial lazy thread switch mechanism for i386. it isn't as lazy
as it could be and can do with some more cleanup. Currently its under
options LAZY_SWITCH. What this does is avoid %cr3 reloads for short
context switches that do not involve another user process. ie: we can
take an interrupt, switch to a kthread and return to the user without
explicitly flushing the tlb. However, this isn't as exciting as it could
be, the interrupt overhead is still high and too much blocks on Giant
still. There are some debug sysctls, for stats and for an on/off switch.

The main problem with doing this has been "what if the process that you're
running on exits while we're borrowing its address space?" - in this case
we use an IPI to give it a kick when we're about to reclaim the pmap.

Its not compiled in unless you add the LAZY_SWITCH option. I want to fix a
few more things and get some more feedback before turning it on by default.

This is NOT a replacement for Bosko's lazy interrupt stuff. This was more
meant for the kthread case, while his was for interrupts. Mine helps a
little for interrupts, but his helps a lot more.

The stats are enabled with options SWTCH_OPTIM_STATS - this has been a
pseudo-option for years, I just added a bunch of stuff to it.

One non-trivial change was to select a new thread before calling
cpu_switch() in the first place. This allows us to catch the silly
case of doing a cpu_switch() to the current process. This happens
uncomfortably often. This simplifies a bit of the asm code in cpu_switch
(no longer have to call choosethread() in the middle). This has been
implemented on i386 and (thanks to jake) sparc64. The others will come
soon. This is actually seperate to the lazy switch stuff.

# 112569 24-Mar-2003 jake

- Add vm_paddr_t, a physical address type. This is required for systems
where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.

Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

# 105950 25-Oct-2002 peter

Split 4.x and 5.x signal handling so that we can keep 4.x signal
handling clean and functional as 5.x evolves. This allows some of the
nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.

Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.

Tested on: i386, alpha, ia64. Compiled on sparc64 (a few days ago).

# 102600 30-Aug-2002 peter

Change hw.physmem and hw.usermem to unsigned long like they used to be
in the original hardwired sysctl implementation.

The buf size calculator still overflows an integer on machines with large
KVA (eg: ia64) where the number of pages does not fit into an int. Use
'long' there.

Change Maxmem and physmem and related variables to 'long', mostly for
completeness. Machines are not likely to overflow 'int' pages in the
near term, but then again, 640K ought to be enough for anybody. This
comes for free on 32 bit machines, so why not?

[partially forced commit due to pilot error in earlier commit attempt]

{set,fill}_{,fp,db}regs() fixup:

- Add dummy {set,fill}_dbregs() on architectures that don't have them.

- KSEfy the powerpc versions (struct proc -> struct thread).

- Some architectures had the prototypes in md_var.h, some in reg.h, and
some in both; for consistency, move them to reg.h on all platforms.

These functions aren't really MD (the implementation is MD, but the interface
is MI), so they should move to an MI header, but I haven't figured out which
one yet.

Run-tested on i386, build-tested on Alpha, untested on other platforms.

Remove the last of the MD netisr code. It is now all MI. Remove

their own thread. Make the legacy schednetisr use an atomic op
for setting bits in the netisr mask.

Reviewed by: jhb


# 67551 25-Oct-2000 jhb

- Overhaul the software interrupt code to use interrupt threads for each
type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
MD.

# 64529 11-Aug-2000 peter

Clean up some low level bootstrap code:

- stop using the evil 'struct trapframe' argument for mi_startup()
(formerly main()). There are much better ways of doing it.
- do not use prepare_usermode() - setregs() in execve() will do it
all for us as long as the p_md.md_regs pointer is set. (which is
now done in machdep.c rather than init_main.c. The Alpha port did it
this way all along and is much cleaner).
- collect all the magic %cr0 etc register settings into one place and
have the AP's call that instead of using magic numbers (!!) that keep
changing over and over again.
- Make it safe to call kthread_create() earlier, including during the
device probe sequence. It doesn't need the callback mechanism that
NetBSD's version uses.
- kthreads created this way are root-less as they exist before the root
filesystem is mounted. init(1) is set up so that it aquires the root
pointers prior to running. If other kthreads want filesystem acccess
we can make this code more generic.
- set all threads start times once we have decided what time it is.
- init uses a trampoline rather than the evil prepare_usermode() hack.
- kern_descrip.c has a couple of tweaks to deal with forking when there
is no rootdir or cwd etc.
- adjust the early SYSINIT() sequence so that a few prereqisites are in
place. eg: make sure the run queue is initialized before doing forks.

With this, the USB code can easily create a kthread to do the device
tree discovery. (I have tested it, it works nicely).

There are still some open issues before this is truely useful.
- tsleep() does not like working before the clock is running. It
sort-of tries to spin wait, but it can do more useful things now.
- stopping a kthread in kld code at unload time is "interesting" but
we have a solution for that.

The Alpha code needs no changes for this. It already uses pretty much the
same strategies, but a little cleaner.

When APM is configured, turn off the power when halting for good.


# 26494 07-Jun-1997 bde

Preserve %fs and %gs across context switches. This has a relatively low
cost since it is only done in cpu_switch(), not for every exception.
The extra state is kept in the pcb, and handled much like the npx state,
with similar deficiencies (the state is not preserved across signal
handlers, and error handling loses state).


# 24112 22-Mar-1997 kato

Improved CPU identification and initialization routines. This
supports All Cyrix CPUs, IBM Blue Lightning CPU and NexGen (now AMD)
Nx586 CPU, and initialize special registers of Cyrix CPU and msr of
IBM Blue Lightning CPU.

If revision of Cyrix 6x86 CPU < 2.7, CPU cache is enabled in
write-through mode. This can be disabled by kernel configuration
options.

Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Further improved version of hadling a HALT when there is no console.


# 16875 01-Jul-1996 bde

Moved declarations of non-cpu things from <machine/cpufunc.h> to better
places.

Mega-commit for Linux emulator update.. This has been stress tested under
netscape-2.0 for Linux running all the Java stuff. The scrollbars are now
working, at least on my machine. (whew! :-)

I'm uncomfortable with the size of this commit, but it's too
inter-dependant to easily seperate out.

The main changes:

COMPAT_LINUX is *GONE*. Most of the code has been moved out of the i386
machine dependent section into the linux emulator itself. The int 0x80
syscall code was almost identical to the lcall 7,0 code and a minor tweak
allows them to both be used with the same C code. All kernels can now
just modload the lkm and it'll DTRT without having to rebuild the kernel
first. Like IBCS2, you can statically compile it in with "options LINUX".

A pile of new syscalls implemented, including getdents(), llseek(),
readv(), writev(), msync(), personality(). The Linux-ELF libraries want
to use some of these.

linux_select() now obeys Linux semantics, ie: returns the time remaining
of the timeout value rather than leaving it the original value.

Quite a few bugs removed, including incorrect arguments being used in
syscalls.. eg: mixups between passing the sigset as an int, vs passing
it as a pointer and doing a copyin(), missing return values, unhandled
cases, SIOC* ioctls, etc.

The build for the code has changed. i386/conf/files now knows how
to build linux_genassym and generate linux_assym.h on the fly.

Supporting changes elsewhere in the kernel:

The user-mode signal trampoline has moved from the U area to immediately
below the top of the stack (below PS_STRINGS). This allows the different
binary emulations to have their own signal trampoline code (which gets rid
of the hardwired syscall 103 (sigreturn on BSD, syslog on Linux)) and so
that the emulator can provide the exact "struct sigcontext *" argument to
the program's signal handlers.

The sigstack's "ss_flags" now uses SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK flags, which
have the same values as the re-used SA_DISABLE and SA_ONSTACK which are
intended for sigaction only. This enables the support of a SA_RESETHAND
flag to sigaction to implement the gross SYSV and Linux SA_ONESHOT signal
semantics where the signal handler is reset when it's triggered.

makesyscalls.sh no longer appends the struct sysentvec on the end of the
generated init_sysent.c code. It's a lot saner to have it in a seperate
file rather than trying to update the structure inside the awk script. :-)

At exec time, the dozen bytes or so of signal trampoline code are copied
to the top of the user's stack, rather than obtaining the trampoline code
the old way by getting a clone of the parent's user area. This allows
Linux and native binaries to freely exec each other without getting
trampolines mixed up.


# 13908 04-Feb-1996 dg

Rewrote cpu_fork so that it doesn't use pmap_activate, and removed
pmap_activate since it's not used anymore. Changed cpu_fork so that
it uses one line of inline assembly rather than calling mvesp() to
get the current stack pointer. Removed mvesp() since it is no longer
being used.

Allocate DMA bounce buffers only when requested by drivers. Only the
fd and wt drivers need bounce buffers, so this normally saves 32K-1K
of kernel memory.

Keep track of which DMA channels are busy. isa_dmadone() must now be
called when DMA has finished or been aborted.

Panic for unallocated and too-small (required) bounce buffers.

fd.c:
There will be new warnings about isa_dmadone() not being called after
DMA has been aborted.

sound/dmabuf.c:
isa_dmadone() needs more parameters than are available, so temporarily
use a new interface isa_dmadone_nobounce() to avoid having to worry
about panics for fake parameters. Untested.

devfs changes..
changes to allow devices that don't probe (e.g. /dev/mem)
to create devfs entries
this required giving 'configure' its own SYSINIT entry
so we could duck in just before it with a DEVFS init
and some device inits..
my devfs now looks like:
./misc
./misc/speaker
./misc/mem
./misc/kmem
./misc/null
./misc/zero
./misc/io
./misc/console
./misc/pcaudio
./misc/pcaudioctl
./disks
./disks/rfloppy
./disks/rfloppy/fd0.1440
./disks/rfloppy/fd1.1200
./disks/floppy
./disks/floppy/fd0.1440
./disks/floppy/fd1.1200
also some sligt cleanups.. DEVFS needs a lot of work
but I'm getting back to it..

Remove trailing whitespace.


# 7430 28-Mar-1995 bde

Add and move declarations to fix all of the warnings from `gcc -Wimplicit'
(except in netccitt, netiso and netns) that I didn't notice when I fixed
"all" such warnings before.


# 7090 16-Mar-1995 bde

Add and move declarations to fix all of the warnings from `gcc -Wimplicit'
(except in netccitt, netiso and netns) and most of the warnings from
`gcc -Wnested-externs'. Fix all the bugs found. There were no serious
ones.
