additional processors are spun up on multiprocessor Alpha systems.
Now, each processor gets its own idle thread (the primary processor
uses proc0). This idle thread is used in switch_exit(), rather than
explicitly referencing proc0.
Also, make `curproc', `fpcurproc', and `curpcb' per-cpu values. This
required some data structure rearrangement; cpu info is now statically
allocated in the BSS, rather than via malloc(), and cpu_softc is gone.
(Modeled somewhat after NetBSD/sparc's multiprocessor info structures.)
minor of libc and the major of libutil). For little-endian architectures
merge the bnswap() assembly versions with nto* and hton* using symbols
aliasing. Use symbol renaming for the bswap function in this case to avoid
namespace pollution.
Declare bswap* in machine/bswap.h, not machine/endian.h. For little-endian
machines, common code for inline macros go in machine/byte_swap.h
Sync libkern with libc.

exported to the MI kernel. Almost everything here was formerly in cpu.h.
Optionally, this module could in the future be used to #include anything
that is always needed by arch/alpha modules.
They should not be visible to the MI kernel and the MI kernel shouldn't
depend on this junk. Most of it moves to new module <machine/alpha.h>.
Leave badaddr() here, though, because it's used so widely.
I just cannot add one more platform without getting sick.
Instead, we do just one table for all platforms. More-or-less,
it was only the A12 that even named it's individual interrupts anyway.
Also, prototype set_iointr() here. It's a slightly odd place, but 10*
better than the old place it was, and this file is included by exactly
the perfect set of .c files for set_iointr() visibility.
- cpu_set_kpc() now takes void *arg third argument, passed to the
entry point.
- cpu_fork() allows parent to be non-curproc iff parent is proc0.
When forking non-curproc, assume its state has already been saved.
- Adjust various pieces of machine-dependent code to account of all of this.
Alpha system, conditional on MULTIPROCESSOR.
NOTE: This does not yet work completely. The secondary CPU begins the
boot process, but never makes it into the cpu spinup trampoline. This
is merely a snapshot of a work-in-progress.
bus_space(9), if drivers want it (they shouldn't; easy to convert) they
can define it right before including bus.h. There's been a release since
the interfaces were (slightly) changed, and no code in the source tree
uses the old interfaces as far as I can tell.
tty structures, and on some machines (namely the DraCo internal lpt, and some
multi-i/o boards for Amigas and DraCos), tying spltty to the pretty high printer
interupt level would hurt serial performance.
On all affected ports but Amiga, spllpt() has been defined in machine/intr.h
to be spltty(), thus preserving old behaviour. Portmasters are encouraged to
change is, if they feel something else is better (e.g., one of its own were
possible).
New macros:
LOCATE_PCS(struct rpb *hwrpb, int cpu_number)
PCS_PROC_MAJORTYPE(struct pcs *)
PCS_PROC_MINORTYPE(struct pcs *)
Define LOCATE_PCS() to map (hwrpb, cpu_number) -> Per-Cpu-Slot structure.
Replace the PCS_PROC_{MAJOR,MINOR}{,SHIFT} stuff with macros that simply
return the major and minor cpu type codes.
address on 2 architectures anyhow. Also, move the definition of the `label_t'
type inside _KERNEL protection, since it is specific to the in-kernel
setjmp()/longjmp() implementations.
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
is defined, the bus_space macros will check to ensure that the bus address
and the target buffer (if applicable) are aligned properly for the size
of the type being used. If they are not, a message will be displayed on
the console.
Strict alignment is required by the Alpha architecture, and a trap will
occur of unaligned access is performed. These changes will aid debugging
of broken device drivers.
UVM pmap's locking protocol, written by Chuck Cranor. Not all of the
support for multiple processors is here yet, but the kernel does run
under moderate loads with LOCKDEBUG (all locking operations are no-ops
unless LOCKDEBUG is turned on).
This is by no means complete... there are still some possible snares
to take a look at.

rather than through chipset-specific front-ends which pass the window
base as an additional argument.

the table walk otherwise necessary will be bypassed.

XXX The MI SCC driver needs serious changes to handle platforms which
have muliple SCC attachments (e.g. the Alpha port, which has an ioasic
attachment for TurboChannel systems and a gbus attachment for TurboLaser
systems).
XXX The MI SCC driver also needs changes to deal with the wacky (to put
it mildly) way the chips are wired up on the ioasic (on both TC Alphas
and DECstations). These are going to come along later.
Major change is that page table page management has been completely
rewritten. Page tables are now accessed via K0SEG (no more KVA space
wasted on user page tables), and a much larger user address space is
supported.
Many thanks to Chris Demetriou and Ross Harvey for helpful insight and
debugging assistance.
- Make pv_table an array of struct pv_head's, which contain LIST_HEADs
for the pv_entry's, as well as page attributes (mod, ref, ptpage).
- Use <sys/queue.h> to manipulate pv_entry lists.
- Fix several obvious bugs in pmap_collect_pv().
- Use K0SEG to access pv_page's.
- Clean up pmap_bootstrap() some, and make a slight change to how the
PROM mappings are saved.
- Give each pmap its own level 1 page table, rather than sharing a global
level 1 page table. This will eventually allow for Very Large user
address spaces.
- Keep a list of all pmaps, so that when kernel level 2 page tables are
allocated, all level 1 tables may be updated.
- Add a couple of functions for allocating and freeing page table pages.
- Add a few comments about ASN allocation.

init code carefully re: when it can print stuff out, when it can expect
the firmware to stop working, etc. Be more careful about using the PROM
console and other PROM facilities, and hint that in the future all use
of firmware/boot program callbacks by the kernel should go away (since
the world may not be mapped the way the firmware/boot program wants!).

Use the defopt'ed options, rather than NDEC_... and remove the needs-flag

- fix _C_LABEL so that it actually works.
- make __RENAME use _C_LABEL.
- fix __RENAME so that it expects an unquoted argument.
- fix __indr_reference and __warn_references so that they
supply their own final semicolon.
- define __warn_references to nothing if not GNU C (required
by the way it's used).
The __warn_references semicolon change has to be made
so that __warn_references can be defined into nothing.

at least 8-). Add structure offssets for structure members, so we
know how much space we're using. Make the version in the bootinfo

was sent to developers, but will eventually become a man page or
something), i noticed a few in various names:
(1) _map and _alloc should take a flags argument, rather than a
'cacheable' boolean.
(2) BUS_BARRIER_* flags should be BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_*.
(3) bus_space_copy_* should be bus_space_copy_region_* for consistency
with other region ops.
Fix all of these (in a backward-compatible way, at least for now). Redefine
internal usees of those names to use the new names. Also, while at it,
clean up the copy functions (remove unnecessary variables) and make sure
that they and other functions conform to the spec.
(1) it was using 'max', and some functions use a variable
of that name (*sigh*), and
(2) that makes it easier to be a bit trickier, and only call
swpipl if changing the IPL.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
__builtin_classify_type() into harmless values, so that lint doesn't
get confused, think they're real functions, and that they're being
invoked in the wrong ways.
using __weak_alias in libc, __indr_reference should probably be defined
to do nothing (but defined, so that duplicate functions/variables aren't
compiled). However, when not using __weak_alias, __indr_reference causes
them to be omitted completely, which is a lose. So, until weak aliases
are going to be used, don't define __weak_alias or __indr_reference.
on indirect-config busses a (permanent) softc that they could share
between 'match' and 'attach' routines:
Define __BROKEN_INDIRECT_CONFIG so that old autoconfiguration
interfaces are used, until drivers are converted to use the new
interfaces (actually, converted back to use the _older_ interfaces)
which prohibit indirect configuration devices from receiving a softc
in their match routine that they can share with their attach routine.
rather than and-ing 16G-1. That just strips the k0seg bits, rather
than making the false assumption that the physical address is going
to be in the lower 16G. That doesn't apply for CIA device-space
addresses, for instance.
