Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

In the end, it does help fixing /dev/io usage from multithreaded

- On i386 and amd64 the old behaviour is kept but multithreaded
processes must use the new interface in order to work well.
- Support for the other architectures is greatly improved, where
necessary, by the necessity to define very small things now.

o Introduce XIV, eXternal Interrupt Vector, to differentiate from
the interrupts vectors that are offsets in the IVT (Interrupt
Vector Table). There's a vector for external interrupts, which
are based on the XIVs.
o Keep track of allocated and reserved XIVs so that we can assign
XIVs without hardcoding anything. When XIVs are allocated, an
interrupt handler and a class is specified for the XIV. Classes
are:
1. architecture-defined: XIV 15 is returned when no external
interrupt are pending,
2. platform-defined: SAL reports which XIV is used to wakeup
an AP (typically 0xFF, but it's 0x12 for the Altix 350).
3. inter-processor interrupts: allocated for SMP support and
non-redirectable.
4. device interrupts (i.e. IRQs): allocated when devices are
discovered and are redirectable.
o Rewrite the central interrupt handler to call the per-XIV
interrupt handler and rename it to ia64_handle_intr(). Move
the per-XIV handler implementation to the file where we have
the XIV allocation/reservation. Clock interrupt handling is
moved to clock.c. IPI handling is moved to mp_machdep.c.
o Drop support for the Intel 8259A because it was broken. When
XIV 0 is received, the CPU should initiate an INTA cycle to

o Have ia64_pib hold the uncached virtual address of the processor interrupt
block throughout the kernel's life and access the elements of the PIB
through this structure pointer.
This is a non-functional change with the exception of using ia64_ld1() and
ia64_st8() to write to the PIB. We were still using assignments, for which
the compiler generates semaphore reads -- which cause undefined behaviour
for uncacheable memory. Note also that the memory barriers in ipi_send() are
critical for proper functioning.
With all the mapping of uncached memory done by pmap_mapdev(), we can keep
track of the translations and wire them in the CPU. This then eliminates
the need to reserve a whole region for uncached I/O and it eliminates
translation traps for device I/O accesses.
I/O port access is implemented on Itanium by reading and writing to a
special region in memory. To hide details and avoid misaligned memory
accesses, a process did I/O port reads and writes by making a MD system
call. There's one fatal problem with this approach: unprivileged access
was not being prevented. /dev/io serves that purpose on amd64/i386, so
employ it on ia64 as well. Use an ioctl for doing the actual I/O and
remove the sysarch(2) interface.
Backward compatibility is not being considered. The sysarch(2) approach
was added to support X11, but support for FreeBSD/ia64 was never fully
implemented in X11. Thus, nothing gets broken that didn't need more work
to begin with.

o Optimize for memory mapped I/O by making all I/O port acceses function
calls and marking the test for the IA64_BUS_SPACE_IO tag with
__predict_false(). Implement the I/O port access functions in a new
file, called bus_machdep.c.
o Change the bus_space_handle_t for memory mapped I/O to the virtual
address rather than the physical address. This eliminates the PA->VA
translation for every I/O access. The handle for I/O port access is
still the port number.
o Move inb(), outb(), inw(), outw(), inl(), outl(), and their string
variants from cpufunc.h and define them in bus.h. On ia64 these are
not CPU functions at all. In bus.h they are merely aliases for the
new I/O port access functions defined in bus_machdep.h.
o Handle the ACPI resource bug in nexus_set_resource(). There we can
do it once so that we don't have to worry about it whenever we need
to write to an I/O port that is really a memory mapped address.
The upshot of this change is that the KBI is better defined and that I/O
port access always involves a function call, allowing us to change the
actual implementation without breaking the KBI. For memory mapped I/O the
virtual address is abstracted, so that we can change the VA->PA mapping
in the kernel without causing an KBI breakage. The exception at this time
is for bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap().

allocating MAXCPU VHPTs up-front. This allows us to max-out MAXCPU
without memory waste -- MAXCPU is now 32 for SMP kernels.
This change also eliminates the VHPT scaling based in the total
memory in the system. It's the workload that determines the best size
of the VHPT. The workload can be affected by the amount of memory,
but not necessarily. For example, there's no performance difference
between VHPT sizes of 256KB, 512KB and 1MB when building the LINT
kernel. This was observed with a system that has 8GB of memory.
By default the kernel will allocate a 1MB VHPT. The user can tune the
system with the "machdep.vhpt.log2size" tunable.
Memory accesses are posted in program order by virtue of the
uncacheable memory attribute.
Since GCC, by default, adds acquire and release semantics to

to guarantee it. With inline assembly, we don't need volatile
pointers anymore.

the kernel stack at all. The new USB stack simply caused a change
in timing that triggered a firmware bug more often. The addition
of PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE apparently triggered the same firmware bug
even more reliably.
But even with KSTACK_PAGES=5, one instance of the firmware bug
remained: booting with a CD inserted. This problem was run into
by accident after installing Debian and having to boot FreeBSD
to fixup the GPT partitioning (Thanks... not). After bumping
KSTACK_PAGES to 5, it was pretty unbelievable that the stack was
still being too small.
After updating the firmware we could boot with a CD inserted and
KSTACK_PAGES could be lowered back to 4 pages without problems.
Note: It is believed to be a timing related firmware bug, because
the machine check information showed access to the serial console
on one CPU and access to the EHCI HCD on the other CPU. Since
both are devices on the management unit and thus virtualized in
some way, any execution trace that does not include concurrent
access to the BMC from both CPUs is fine.
Note also that it's not understood exactly how increasing the
kernel stack avoided hitting the firmware bug. A change in page
faults does change timing, but it's not known if that's what's
happening here.
In any case: the problem is being monitored. Reverting back to
4 pages for the kernel stack is preferred, because it makes it
easier to switch to 16K pages (double the page size) without
wasting too much memory by not being able to half the number of
pages...
o Move all code into a single file for easier maintenance.
o Use a single global lock to avoid having to handle either
multiple locks or race conditions.
o Make sure to disable the high FP registers after saving

o use msleep() to wait for the other CPU to save the high
FP registers.
This change fixes the high FP inconsistency panics.
A single global lock typically serializes too much, which may
be noticable when a lot of threads use the high FP registers,
but in that case it's probably better to switch the high FP
context synchronuously. Put differently: cpu_switch() should
switch the high FP registers if the incoming and outgoing
threads both use the high FP registers.
more stack hungry as compared to the old one that my RX2660 gets

Likewise when using a 128-byte printf buffer. The additional 128
bytes that printf needs seems to be enough to have the memory stack
and register stack collide and causing a machine check.
Thus: Bump KSTACK_PAGES from 4 to 5.

Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different

warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
