xen: implement an early timer for Xen PVH
When running as a PVH guest, there's no emulated i8254, so we need to use the Xen PV timer as the early source for DELAY. This change allows for different implementations of the early DELAY function and implements a Xen variant for it.
Approved by: gibbs Sponsored by: Citrix Systems R&D
dev/xen/timer/timer.c: dev/xen/timer/timer.h: - Implement Xen early delay functions using the PV timer and declare them.
x86/include/init.h: - Add hooks for early clock source initialization and early delay functions.
i386/i386/machdep.c: pc98/pc98/machdep.c: amd64/amd64/machdep.c: - Set early delay hooks to use the i8254 on bare metal. - Use clock_init (that will in turn make use of init_ops) to initialize the early clock source.
amd64/include/clock.h: i386/include/clock.h: - Declare i8254_delay and clock_init.
i386/xen/clock.c: - Rename DELAY to i8254_delay.
x86/isa/clock.c: - Introduce clock_init that will take care of initializing the early clock by making use of the init_ops hooks. - Move non ISA related delay functions to the newly introduced delay file.
x86/x86/delay.c: - Add moved delay related functions. - Implement generic DELAY function that will use the init_ops hooks.
x86/xen/pv.c: - Set PVH hooks for the early delay related functions in init_ops.
conf/files.amd64: conf/files.i386: conf/files.pc98: - Add delay.c to the kernel build.

Unsynchronized TSCs on the host require special handling in bhyve:
- use clock_gettime(2) as the time base for the emulated ACPI timer instead of directly using rdtsc().
- don't advertise the invariant TSC capability to the guest to discourage it from using the TSC as its time base.

Implement boot-time TSC synchronization test for SMP. This test is executed when the user has indicated that the system has synchronized TSCs or it has P-state invariant TSCs. For the former case, we may clear the tunable if it fails the test to prevent accidental foot-shooting. For the latter case, we may set it if it passes the test to notify the user that it may be usable.

- Implement MI helper functions, dividing one or two timer interrupts with arbitrary frequencies into hardclock(), statclock() and profclock() calls. Same code with minor variations duplicated several times over the tree for different timer drivers and architectures. - Switch all x86 archs to new functions, simplifying the code and removing extra logic from timer drivers. Other archs are also welcome.

Rename statclock_disable variable to atrtcclock_disable that it actually is, and hide it inside of atrtc driver. Add new tunable hint.atrtc.0.clock controlling it. Setting it to 0 disables using RTC clock as stat-/ profclock sources.
Teach i386 and amd64 SMP platforms to emulate stat-/profclocks using i8254 hardclock, when LAPIC and RTC clocks are disabled.
This allows to reduce global interrupt rate of idle system down to about 100 interrupts per core, permitting C3 and deeper C-states provide maximum CPU power efficiency.

Now that all platforms use genclock, shuffle things around slightly for better structure.
Much of this is related to <sys/clock.h>, which should really have been called <sys/calendar.h>, but unless and until we need the name, the repocopy can wait.
In general the kernel does not know about minutes, hours, days, timezones, daylight savings time, leap-years and such. All that is theoretically a matter for userland only.
Parts of kernel code does however care: badly designed filesystems store timestamps in local time and RTC chips almost universally track time in a YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, and sometimes in local timezone instead of UTC. For this we have <sys/clock.h>
<sys/time.h> on the other hand, deals with time_t, timeval, timespec and so on. These know only seconds and fractions thereof.
Move inittodr() and resettodr() prototypes to <sys/time.h>. Retain the names as it is one of the few surviving PDP/VAX references.
Move startrtclock() to <machine/clock.h> on relevant platforms, it is a MD call between machdep.c/clock.c. Remove references to it elsewhere.
Remove a lot of unnecessary <sys/clock.h> includes.
Move the machdep.disable_rtc_set sysctl to subr_rtc.c where it belongs. XXX: should be kern.disable_rtc_set really, it's not MD.

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].

Split /dev/nvram driver out of isa/clock.c for i386 and amd64. I have not refactored it to be a generic device. Instead of being part of the standard kernel, there is now a 'nvram' device for i386/amd64. It is in DEFAULTS like io and mem, and can be turned off with 'nodevice nvram'. This matches the previous behavior when it was first committed.

Cleaned up declaration and initialization of clock_lock. It is only used by clock code, so don't export it to the world for machdep.c to initialize. There is a minor problem initializing it before it is used, since although clock initialization is split up so that parts of it can be done early, the first part was never done early enough to actually work. Split it up a bit more and do the first part as late as possible to document the necessary order. The functions that implement the split are still bogusly exported.
Cleaned up initialization of the i8254 clock hardware using the new split. Actually initialize it early enough, and don't work around it not being initialized in DELAY() when DELAY() is called early for initialization of some console drivers.
This unfortunately moves a little more code before the early debugger breakpoint so that it is harder to debug. The ordering of console and related initialization is delicate because we want to do as little as possible before the breakpoint, but must initialize a console.

Tweak how the MD code calls the fooclock() methods some. Instead of passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process(). Other details: - Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically, all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock(). - Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more accurate. - On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at the slower stathz. - On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254 timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP. There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway. - On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition to slightly optimize the non-lapic case. - Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a trapframe pointer rather than a void pointer for clarity. - Use KCOUNT macro in profclock() to lookup the kernel profiling bucket.
Tested on: alpha, amd64, arm, i386, ia64, sparc64 Reviewed by: bde (mostly)

Initial landing of SMP support for FreeBSD/amd64.
- This is heavily derived from John Baldwin's apic/pci cleanup on i386. - I have completely rewritten or drastically cleaned up some other parts. (in particular, bootstrap) - This is still a WIP. It seems that there are some highly bogus bioses on nVidia nForce3-150 boards. I can't stress how broken these boards are. I have a workaround in mind, but right now the Asus SK8N is broken. The Gigabyte K8NPro (nVidia based) is also mind-numbingly hosed. - Most of my testing has been with SCHED_ULE. SCHED_4BSD works. - the apic and acpi components are 'standard'. - If you have an nVidia nForce3-150 board, you are stuck with 'device atpic' in addition, because they somehow managed to forget to connect the 8254 timer to the apic, even though its in the same silicon! ARGH! This directly violates the ACPI spec.

Commit MD parts of a loosely functional AMD64 port. This is based on a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to attempt to get a stable base to start from. There is a lot missing still. Worth noting: - The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code. pmap uses a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4 levels of page tables yet. - It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the i386 loader. This simplifies locore.s greatly. - There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C versions of (bcopy etc). - It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction for syscalls. int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not. - I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed %rcx register in the syscall instruction). As a result, there is not a lot of similarity. I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.

i386/i386/tsc.c was repo-copied from i386/isa/clock.c.
Remove all the stuff that does not relate to the TSC.
Change the calibration to use DELAY(1000000) rather than trying to check it against the CMOS RTC, this drastically increases precision:
Using 25 samples on a Athlon 700MHz UP machine I find:
stddev min max average CMOS 22200 Hz -74980 Hz 34301 Hz 704928721 Hz DELAY 1805 Hz -1984 Hz 2678 Hz 704937583 Hz
(The difference between the two averages is not statistically significant.)
expressed in PPM of the frequency: stddev min max CMOS 31.49 PPM -106.37 PPM 48.66 PPM DELAY 2.56 PPM 2.81 PPM 3.80 PPM
This code will not be used until a followup commit to sys/isa/clock.c and sys/pc98/pc98/clock.c which will only happen after some field testing.

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.

Improved biasing of i586 clock by adjusting for hardclock() latency. I decided to do this for every hardclock() call instead of lazily in microtime(). The lazy method is simpler but has more overhead if microtime() is called a lot.
CPU_THISTICKLEN() is now a no-op and should probably go away. Previously it did nothing directly but had the side effect of setting i586_last_tick for CPU_CLOCKUPDATE() and i586_avg_tick for debugging. CPU_CLOCKUPDATE() now uses a better method and i586_avg_tick is too much trouble to maintain.
Reduced nesting of #includes in the usual case.
Increased nesting of #includes when CLOCK_HAIR is defined. This is a kludge to get typedefs for inline functions only when the inline functions are used. Normally only kern_clock.c defines this. kern_clock.c can't include the i386 headers directly.
Removed unused LOCORE support.

Added calibration the i8254 and the i586 clocks agains the RTC at boot time. The results are currently ignored unless certain temporary options are used.
Added sysctls to support reading and writing the clock frequency variables (not the frequencies themselves). Writing is supposed to atomically adjust all related variables.
machdep.c: Fixed spelling of a function name in a comment so that I can log this message which should have been with the previous commit.
Initialize `cpu_class' earlier so that it can be used in startrtclock() instead of in calibrate_cyclecounter() (which no longer exists).
Removed range checking of `cpu'. It is always initialized to CPU_XXX so it is less likely to be out of bounds than most variables.
clock.h: Removed I586_CYCLECTR(). Use rdtsc() instead.
clock.c: TIMER_FREQ is now a variable timer_freq that defaults to the old value of TIMER_FREQ. #define'ing TIMER_FREQ should still work and may be the best way of setting the frequency.
Calibration involves counting cycles while watching the RTC for one second. This gives values correct to within (a few ppm) + (the innaccuracy of the RTC) on my systems.

- add apm to the GENERIC kernel (disabled by default), and add some comments regarding apm to LINT - Disabled the statistics clock on machines which have an APM BIOS and have the options "APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK" enabled (which is default in GENERIC now) - move around some of the code in clock.c dealing with the rtc to make it more obvios the effects of disabling the statistics clock

Moved rtcin() to clock.c.
Always delay using one inb(0x84) after each i/o in rtcin() - don't do this conditional on the bogus option DUMMY_NOPS not being defined. If you want an optionally slightly faster rtcin() again, then inline it and use a better named option or sysctl variable. It only needs to be fast in rtcintr().

No longer use the cyclecounter to attempt to correct for late or missed clock interrupts.
Keep a 1-in-16 smoothed average of the length of each tick. If the CPU speed is correctly diagnosed, this should give experienced users enough information to figure out a more suitable value for `tick'.

Add Pentium Pro CPU detection and special handling. For now, all the optimizations we have for 586s also apply to 686s...this will be fine- tuned in the future as appropriate.

Fix Pentium CPU rate diagnosis: - Don't print out meaningless iCOMP numbers, those are for droids. - Use a shorter wait to determine clock rate to avoid deficiencies in DELAY(). - Use a fixed-point representation with 8 bits of fraction to store the rate and rationalize the variable name. It would be possible to use even more fraction if it turns out to be worthwhile (I rather doubt it).
The question of source code arrangement remains unaddressed.

Reduce jitter of Pentium microtime() implementation by letting the counter free-run and doing a subtract in microtime() rather than resetting the counter to zero at every clock tick. In combination with the changes to kern_clock.c, this should eliminate all the immediately obvious sources of systematic jitter in timekeeping on Pentium machines.

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.

Redo Kernel NTP PLL support, kernel side.
This code is mostly taken from the 1.1 port (which was in turn taken from Dave Mills's kern.tar.Z example). A few significant differences:
1) ntp_gettime() is now a MIB variable rather than a system call. A few fiddles are done in libc to make it behave the same.
2) mono_time does not participate in the PLL adjustments.
3) A new interface has been defined (in <machine/clock.h>) for doing possibly machine-dependent things around the time of the clock update. This is used in Pentium kernels to disable interrupts, set `time', and reset the CPU cycle counter as quickly as possible to avoid jitter in microtime(). Measurements show an apparent resolution of a bit more than 8.14usec, which is reasonable given system-call overhead.
