Add an EARLY_AP_STARTUP option to start APs earlier during boot.

Currently, Application Processors (non-boot CPUs) are started by
MD code at SI_SUB_CPU, but they are kept waiting in a "pen" until
SI_SUB_SMP at which point they are released to run kernel threads.
SI_SUB_SMP is one of the last SYSINIT levels, so APs don't enter
the scheduler and start running threads until fairly late in the
boot.

This change moves SI_SUB_SMP up to just before software interrupt
threads are created allowing the APs to start executing kernel
threads much sooner (before any devices are probed). This allows
several initialization routines that need to perform initialization
on all CPUs to now perform that initialization in one step rather
than having to defer the AP initialization to a second SYSINIT run
at SI_SUB_SMP. It also permits all CPUs to be available for
handling interrupts before any devices are probed.

This last feature fixes a problem on with interrupt vector exhaustion.
Specifically, in the old model all device interrupts were routed
onto the boot CPU during boot. Later after the APs were released at
SI_SUB_SMP, interrupts were redistributed across all CPUs.

However, several drivers for multiqueue hardware allocate N interrupts
per CPU in the system. In a system with many CPUs, just a few drivers
doing this could exhaust the available pool of interrupt vectors on
the boot CPU as each driver was allocating N * mp_ncpu vectors on the
boot CPU. Now, drivers will allocate interrupts on their desired CPUs
during boot meaning that only N interrupts are allocated from the boot
CPU instead of N * mp_ncpu.

Some other bits of code can also be simplified as smp_started is
now true much earlier and will now always be true for these bits of
code. This removes the need to treat the single-CPU boot environment
as a special case.

As a transition aid, the new behavior is available under a new kernel
option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option to be turned off
if need be during initial testing. I plan to enable this on x86 by
default in a followup commit in the next few days and to have all
platforms moved over before 11.0. Once the transition is complete,
the option will be removed along with the !EARLY_AP_STARTUP code.

These changes have only been tested on x86. Other platform maintainers
are encouraged to port their architectures over as well. The main
things to check for are any uses of smp_started in MD code that can be
simplified and SI_SUB_SMP SYSINITs in MD code that can be removed in
the EARLY_AP_STARTUP case (e.g. the interrupt shuffling).

Make the second argument of dtrace_invop() a trapframe pointer.

Currently this argument is a pointer into the stack which is used by FBT
to fetch the first five probe arguments. On all non-x86 architectures it's
simply the trapframe address, so this change has no functional impact. On
amd64 it's a pointer into the trapframe such that stack[1 .. 5] gives the
first five argument registers, which are deliberately grouped together in
the amd64 trapframe definition.

A trapframe argument simplifies the invop handlers on !x86 and makes the
x86 FBT invop handler easier to understand. Moreover, it allows for invop
handlers that may want to modify the register set of the interrupted thread.

Initialize DTrace hrtimer frequency during SI_SUB_CPU on i386 and amd64.

This allows the hrtimer to be used earlier during boot. This is required
for boot-time DTrace: anonymous enablings are created during
SI_SUB_DTRACE_ANON, which runs before APs are started. In particular,
the DTrace deadman timer requires that the hrtimer be functional.

When checking for the valid value of the frame pointer, verify that it

code checks that new frame is not farther then KSTACK_PAGES pages from
the current frame, which allows the address to point past the top of

When fetching function arguments out of a frame on amd64, explicitly select

in struct reg to be in the right order. This assumption is incorrect on
FreeBSD and generally led to bogus argument values for the sixth argument

SDT probes can directly pass up to five arguments as arguments to
dtrace_probe(). Arguments beyond these five must be obtained in an
architecture-specific way; this can be done through the getargval provider
method, and through dtrace_getarg() if getargval isn't overridden.

This change fixes two off-by-one bugs in the way these arguments are fetched
in FreeBSD's DTrace implementation. First, the SDT provider must set the
aframes parameter to 1 when creating a probe. The aframes parameter controls
the number of frames that dtrace_getarg() will step over in order to find
the frame containing the extra arguments. On FreeBSD, dtrace_getarg() is
called in SDT probe context via

dtrace_probe()->dtrace_dif_emulate()->dtrace_dif_variable->dtrace_getarg()

so aframes must be 3 since the arguments are in dtrace_probe()'s frame; it
was previously being called with a value of 2 instead. illumos uses a
different aframes value for SDT probes, but this is because illumos SDT
probes fire by triggering the #UD fault handler rather than calling
dtrace_probe() directly.

The second bug has to do with the way arguments are grabbed out
dtrace_probe()'s frame on amd64. The code currently jumps over the first
stack argument and retrieves the rest of them using a pointer into the
stack. This works on i386 because all of dtrace_probe()'s arguments will be
on the stack and the first argument is the probe ID, which should be
ignored. However, it is incorrect to ignore the first stack argument on
amd64, so we correct the pointer used to access the arguments.

With retirement of cpumask_t and usage of cpuset_t for representing a

Remove them and replace their usage with custom pc_cpuid magic (as,
atm, pc_cpumask can be easilly represented by (1 << pc_cpuid) and
pc_other_cpus by (all_cpus & ~(1 << pc_cpuid))).

etire the cpumask_t type and replace it with cpuset_t usage.

This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are
capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever
value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are
statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it
as low as possible for the time being.

Technical notes on this commit itself:
- More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced.
The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3)
for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string
representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which
creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation).
- pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon.
With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient
and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that
access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid
migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word
- Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel
and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself,
it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch
as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when
accessing kernland members.
- KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be
set as the example reported in NOTES.

Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but
private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt)
machine (amd64).

Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of
the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not
targeted for MFC.

People to thank for the time spent on this patch:
- sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested
several revision of the patches and really helped in improving
stability of this work.
- marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed
patches related to ktr.
- jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed.
- kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the

Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several

Use atomic load & store for TSC frequency. It may be overkill for amd64 but
safer for i386 because it can be easily over 4 GHz now. More worse, it can
be easily changed by user with 'machdep.tsc_freq' tunable (directly) or
cpufreq(4) (indirectly). Note it is intentionally not used in performance
critical paths to avoid performance regression (but we should, in theory).
Alternatively, we may add "virtual TSC" with lower frequency if maximum
frequency overflows 32 bits (and ignore possible incoherency as we do now).

dtrace_gethrtime: improve scaling of TSC ticks to nanoseconds

Currently dtrace_gethrtime uses formula similar to the following for
converting TSC ticks to nanoseconds:
rdtsc() * 10^9 / tsc_freq
The dividend overflows 64-bit type and wraps-around every 2^64/10^9 =
18446744073 ticks which is just a few seconds on modern machines.

Now we instead use precalculated scaling factor of
10^9*2^N/tsc_freq < 2^32 and perform TSC value multiplication separately
for each 32-bit half. This allows to avoid overflow of the dividend
described above.
The idea is taken from OpenSolaris.
This has an added feature of always scaling TSC with invariant value
regardless of TSC frequency changes. Thus the timestamps will not be
accurate if TSC actually changes, but they are always proportional to
TSC ticks and thus monotonic. This should be much better than current
formula which produces wildly different non-monotonic results on when
tsc_freq changes.

Also drop write-only 'cp' variable from amd64 dtrace_gethrtime_init()
to make it identical to the i386 twin.

dtrace/amd64: fix virtual address checks

On amd64 KERNBASE/kernbase does not mean start of kernel memory.
This should fix a KASSERT panic in dtrace_copycheck when copyin*()
is used in D program.
Also make checks for user memory a bit stricter.
