Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.
ACPI wakeup code and teach it how to start the APs again. As a side
effect the CPU_START interface allows choosing between different
bootstrap codes more easily now.
online. It runs into issues in the pmap code and will handled
differently. This allows sysctl -w machdep.sleep_state=3 to at least
recover into a working system again.
xpq_update_foreign(). Note that this also affects native operations, but it
shoulnd't cause problems even for SMP system. Proposed on port-amd64@ and
port-i386@
Don't invalidate the recursive PTE entry in user pmap when switching from
kernel to userland on Xen/amd64. This effectively means that a userland
process can read its own page tables (no write, of course) on Xen/amd64, but
it shouldn't cause security issue (discussed on tech-kern@ some time ago).
This makes NetBSD Xen/amd64 more than 10x faster
building pkgsrc/pkgtools/digest
delay function were wildly inaccurate due to multiple CPUs competing
in DELAY() during calibration, confusing the clock chip.
- Use i8254_delay() explictly in a few more places.
than TSC, but doesn't suffer from SpeedStep as TSC does.
The default quality is higher than HPET for UP, but -100 for
MULTIPROCESSOR as it needs CPU local state which doesn't exist yet.
- Reduce available SPL levels for hardware devices to none, vm, sched, high.
- Acquire kernel_lock only for interrupts at IPL_VM.
- Implement threaded soft interrupts.
1) If ODCM is disabled (ODCM_ENABLE not set), clockmod_getstate() should
return the maximum level (7), not the lowest (0), as the levels are
defined as duty cycles where the highest implies no ODCM. Now sysctl
machdep.clockmod.current doesn't lie upon init.
2) Make the sysctl handler ensure that no disabled levels are permitted.
Previously, a level disabled due to errata could be passed to
clockmod_setstate(), which would search through the state array,
skipping the unusable value. Consequently our index would be out of
range and badness could ensue.
Okay'd by xtraeme@.
The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.
quick consensus on tech-kern

sysmon_envsys_create() and sysmon_envsys_destroy() were added to
create/destroy sysmon_envsys objects (and its TAILQ/LIST for sensors/events).
sysmon_envsys_sensor_attach() and sysmon_envsys_sensor_detach() were
added to attach/detach sensors to a specified sysmon_envsys device.
The events framework is now per device and configurable via the
ENVSYS_SETDICTIONARY ioctl or /etc/envsys.conf and envstat(8).
Update all users and documentation to reflect these changes.
Add some more defines from the spec. Remove some old ones not
existing in the current Intel Architecture Guide. Use some more
understandable names.
ANSIfy and use uintXX_t to hurt my eyes less.
Further improve readability by exploiting __HAVE_TIMECOUNTER as
invariance on x86 platforms.
