CSR separately (and now from the correctly sized __fpregset_t). The
FP CSR is copied separately to avoid endianness/alignment issues.
Part of fix for PR port-mips/25942. Thanks to Christos Zoulas and
Klaus Klein for help with debugging this.
it either is sitting in contiguous physical RAM or split the mbuf
into two Tx descriptors. Not the prettiest patch, but works well in
practice - gets about an 8% decrease on CPU time for a simple ttcp TCP
Tx benchmark. Thanks to Chris Demetriou for some debugging help.
Add some event counters.
Remove some #if 0'd debug code.
- move per VP data into struct sadata_vp referenced from l->l_savp
* VP id
* lock on VP data
* LWP on VP
* recently blocked LWP on VP
* queue of LWPs woken which ran on this VP before sleep
* faultaddr
* LWP cache for upcalls
* upcall queue
- add current concurrency and requested concurrency variables
- make process exit run LWP on all VPs
- make signal delivery consider all VPs
- make timer events consider all VPs
- add sa_newsavp to allocate new sadata_vp structure
- add sa_increaseconcurrency to prepare new VP
- make sys_sa_setconcurrency request new VP or wakeup idle VP
- make sa_yield lower current concurrency
- set sa_cpu = VP id in upcalls
- maintain cached LWPs per VP
-The MachFPTrap did generate pre-siginfo arguments to trapsignal(),
leading to an immediate crash.
Put the siginfo generation into a separate .c file for simplicity.
-The exception bits in MIPS_FPU_CSR didn't get cleared, leading to
trouble later ("kernel used FPU" on pmax).
XXX This should probably be done for the "unimplemented fpu instruction"
case as well, but I don't know how to test this. Or, even better -
centralize the CSR clearing before the branch in MachFPTrap.
from cpu_fork and the proc trampoline. pthreads programs that fork
now work (at least the regress test case does).

process context ('reaper').
From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.
MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.
g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
superfluous by Tsutsui-san's previous changes.
(this change differs slightly from that posted to port-mips@, as
mips_flushcache_allpvh should be compiled iff MIPS3_PLUS is defined and
MIPS3_L2CACHE_ABSENT should be removed from files.mips as well)
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
rename FPBASE to _FPBASE, so that we avoid polluting the user's
name space when e.g. <sys/ptrace.h> is included. Previously, the
PC symbol in mips/regnum.h would conflict with the declaration of
the external variable by the same name in termcap.h, as discovered
by the ``okheaders'' regression test.
Remove p_raslock and rename p_lwplock p_lock (one lock is enough).
Simplify window test when adding a ras and correct test on VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS.
Avoid unpredictable branch in i386 locore.S
(pad fields left in struct proc to avoid kernel bump)
