instead.
With this change, we no longer need to save the current interrupt level
in the switchframe. This is no great loss since both cpu_switch and
cpu_switchto are always called at splsched, so the process' spl is
effectively saved somewhere in the callstack.
This fixes an evbarm problem reported by Allen Briggs:
lwp gets into sa_switch -> mi_switch with newl != NULL
when it's the last element on the runqueue, so it
hits the second bit of:
if (newl == NULL) {
retval = cpu_switch(l, NULL);
} else {
remrunqueue(newl);
cpu_switchto(l, newl);
retval = 0;
}
mi_switch calls remrunqueue() and cpu_switchto()
cpu_switchto unlocks the sched lock
cpu_switchto drops CPU priority
softclock is received
schedcpu is called from softclock
schedcpu hits the first if () {} block here:
if (l->l_priority >= PUSER) {
if (l->l_stat == LSRUN &&
(l->l_flag & L_INMEM) &&
(l->l_priority / PPQ) != (l->l_usrpri / PPQ)) {
remrunqueue(l);
l->l_priority = l->l_usrpri;
setrunqueue(l);
} else
l->l_priority = l->l_usrpri;
}
Since mi_switch has already run remrunqueue, the LWP has been
removed, but it's not been put back on any queue, so the
remrunqueue panics.
- Use the "clz" instruction to pick a run-queue, instead of using the
ffs-by-table-lookup method.
- Use strd instead of stmia where possible.
- Use multiple ldr instructions instead of ldmia where possible.
they use the mini D$.
This results in a small performance boost on xscale platforms, since
flushing the main cache on a context switch won't affect the kernel
stack/pcb.
Right now the only flag is used to indicate if a ksiginfo_t is a
result of a trap. Add a predicate macro to test for this flag.
* Add initialization macros for ksiginfo_t's.
* Add accssor macro for ksi_trap. Expands to 0 if the ksiginfo_t was
not the result of a trap. This matches the sigcontext trapcode semantics.
* In kpsendsig(), use KSI_TRAP_P() to select the lwp that gets the signal.
Inspired by Matthias Drochner's fix to kpsendsig(), but correctly handles
the case of non-trap-generated signals that have a > 0 si_code.
This patch fixes a signal delivery problem with threaded programs noted by
Matthias Drochner on tech-kern.
As discussed on tech-kern. Reviewed and OK's by Christos.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V

with a more generic "devmap" structure that can also handle mappings
made with large and small pages. Add new pmap routines to enter these
mappings during bootstrap (and "remember" the devmap), and routines to
look up the static mappings once the kernel is running.

There were some side-effects that I didn't anticipate, and fixing them
is proving to be more difficult than I thought, do just eject for now.
Maybe one day we can look at this again.
Fixes PR kern/21517.
space is advertised to UVM by making virtual_avail and virtual_end
first-class exported variables by UVM. Machine-dependent code is
responsible for initializing them before main() is called. Anything
that steals KVA must adjust these variables accordingly.
This reduces the number of instances of this info from 3 to 1, and
simplifies the pmap(9) interface by removing the pmap_virtual_space()
function call, and removing two arguments from pmap_steal_memory().
This also eliminates some kludges such as having to burn kernel_map
entries on space used by the kernel and stolen KVA.
This also eliminates use of VM_{MIN,MAX}_KERNEL_ADDRESS from MI code,
this giving MD code greater flexibility over the bounds of the managed
kernel virtual address space if a given port's specific platforms can
vary in this regard (this is especially true of the evb* ports).

Bug spotted by Allen Briggs while trying to boot on a machine with 512MB
