- Addresses the issue described in PR/38828.
- Some simplification in threading and sleepq subsystems.
- Eliminates pmap_collect() and, as a side note, allows pmap optimisations.
- Eliminates XS_CTL_DATA_ONSTACK in scsipi code.
- Avoids few scans on LWP list and thus potentially long holds of proc_lock.
- Cuts ~1.5k lines of code. Reduces amd64 kernel size by ~4k.
- Removes __SWAP_BROKEN cases.
Tested on x86, mips, acorn32 (thanks <mpumford>) and partly tested on
acorn26 (thanks to <bjh21>).
Discussed on <tech-kern>, reviewed by <ad>.
The head of the list is now a pv_header, which contains the first pv_entry
as well as a 16-bit attributes field (replaces the pmap_attributes array
plus the pv_entry::pv_flags field) as a 16-bit count of caller-specified
cache-inhibited mappings.
Tested on hp300 (shared pmap_motorola.c), changes to atari and amiga copies
are purely mechanical.
suggestion from isaki@ on port-m68k.
For news68k:
- export ipl2psl_table[] and make it uint16_t
- make makeiplcookie(9) inline
- put PSL_S bit into ipl2psl_table[] rather than adding it in makeiplcookie(9)
- define both IPL_SCHED and IPL_HIGH independently to avoid confusion
- 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.
This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.
from proc_trampoline to match the other ports).
A DIAGNOSTIC kernel will now boot and run. LOCKDEBUG still doesn't work yet.
Also, my amiga no longer loses time.
an SR value or an IPL_* constant).
- Take advange of the smaller ipl_cookie_t to shrink kmutex_t from
16 bytes to 8 bytes by overlapping storage where possible.
- Implement a RAS-based _lock_cas() for mc68010 systems (Sun2). See
sun68k/sun68k/isr.c.
Tested on various m68k platforms, but NOT Sun2. In any case, at least
Sun2 compiles now.
- use proper macro to assert/clear ctrl_int2 port for softintr
- use KDASSERT() rather than #ifdef DEBUG + assert()
- don't count uvmexp.softs twice in softintr_dispatch()
XXX: Maybe we should have common m68k/softintr.c like mips ports.
- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).

- complete workqueue(9) and fix its ipl problem, which is reported
to cause audio skipping.
- fix netbt (at least compilation problems) for some ports.
- fix PR/33218.
- don't use managed mappings/backing objects for wired memory allocations.
save some resources like pv_entry. also fix (most of) PR/27030.
- simplify kernel memory management API.
- simplify pmap bootstrap of some ports.
- some related cleanups.
