# 233209 19-Mar-2012 tijl

Copy amd64 sysarch.h to x86 and merge with i386 sysarch.h. Replace
amd64/i386/pc98 sysarch.h with stubs.


# 233026 16-Mar-2012 tijl

Remove prototypes of _amd64_get_fsbase et al. The functions were removed
in r145571.


# 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.

# 145034 13-Apr-2005 peter

Change the segment limits to 4GB, we set the user accessible bit on all
of the kernel address space already. Intel recommend this anyway, because
using a non-4GB limit adds an additional clock cycle to address generation.
We were able to install 4GB segments into the LDT, so any limits we imposed
on %cs and %ds were academic anyway. More importantly, this allows us to
make a page in the kernel readable to user applications, for holding things
like the signal trampoline and other fun things.

Move the user %cs/%ds segments from the LDT to the GDT. There was no good
reason for them to be there anyway. The old LDT entries are still there
but we can now relax the restriction that prevented users from emptying
the default LDT entries.

Putting user and kernel %cs and %ds together allows us to access the fast
sysenter/sysexit/syscall/sysret instructions. syscall/sysret in particular
require that the user/kernel segments be laid out this way. Reserve a slot
specifically for NDIS while here.

Create two user controllable slots in the GDT that are context switched
with the (kernel) thread. This allows user applications to set two
user privilige selectors to arbitary values. Create
i386_set_fsbase(void *base) and friends. (get/set, fs/gs). For i386,
%gs is used by tls and the thread libraries and this means that user
processes no longer have to have the cost of having a custom LDT, and
we will no longer to do a ldt switch when activating a kthread/ithread in
the usual case any more.

In other words, we can now set the base address for %fs and %gs to arbitary
addresses without the pain of messing with ldt segments.


# 140862 26-Jan-2005 sobomax

o Move copyin()/copyout() out of i386_{get,set}_ldt() and
i386_{get,set}_ioperm() and make those APIs visible in the kernel namespace;

o use i386_{get,set}_ldt() and i386_{get,set}_ioperm() instead of sysarch()
in the linuxlator, which allows to kill another two stackgaps.

MFC after: 2 weeks


# 137289 06-Nov-2004 peter

Begin an invasion of i386-land by amd64.

Expose some of the amd64-specific sysarch functions to allow alternative
implementations of the %fs/%gs code for TLS, threads, etc. USER_LDT does
not exist on the amd64 kernel, so we have to implement things other ways.


# 128019 07-Apr-2004 imp

Remove advertising clause from University of California Regent's
license, per letter dated July 22, 1999 and email from Peter Wemm,
Alan Cox and Robert Watson.

Approved by: core, peter, alc, rwatson


# 124296 09-Jan-2004 nectar

Provide sysarch(2) prototypes in the MD sysarch.h headers. While I'm
at it, use the ANSI C generic pointer type for the second argument,
thus matching the documentation.

Remove the now extraneous (and now conflicting) function declarations
in various libc sources. Remove now unnecessary casts.

# 118440 04-Aug-2003 julian

Allow foot shooting as Linux emulation needs it.
Also change "Auto mode" to use a "special" value
instead of 0, and define and document it.
I had thought libpthread had already been switched to use auto mode but
it appears that patch hasn't been committed yet.

Discussed with: Davidxu


# 104110 28-Sep-2002 peter

There is no need for start/num to be signed in i386_ldt_args.


# 92761 20-Mar-2002 alfred

Remove __P.


# 90134 03-Feb-2002 markm

Make the style a little bit more consistant by removing parameter
names from some prototypes. (Other prototypes here already have
these removed).


# 66174 21-Sep-2000 bsd

Add a couple of debug register helper functions to assist in setting
and clearing watchpoints.

# 55205 29-Dec-1999 peter

Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.


# 50816 02-Sep-1999 luoqi

Some reorganization of sysarch() interface:
1. Move definitions of struct i386_*_args to the header file sysarch.h,
since they are part of the sysarch API. struct i386_get_ldt_args and
i386_set_ldt_args were identical, therefore make them into one
struct i386_ldt_args. Libc should use these definitions as well.
2. Return a more sensible EOPNOTSUPP for unknown operations.
