on for a while:
- fine grained TLB shootdown for SMP on i386
- ranged TLB shootdowns.. eg: specify a range of pages to shoot down with
a single IPI, since the IPI is very expensive. Adjust some callers
that used to trigger this inside tight loops to do a ranged shootdown
at the end instead.
- PG_G support for SMP on i386 (options ENABLE_PG_G)
- defer PG_G activation till after we decide what we are going to do with
PSE and the 4MB pages at the start of the kernel. This should solve
some rumored strangeness about stale PG_G entries getting stuck
underneath the 4MB pages.
- add some instrumentation for the fine TLB shootdown
- convert some asm instruction wrappers from functions to inlines. gcc
seems to do a fair bit better with this.
- [temporarily!] pessimize the tlb shootdown IPI handlers. I will fix
this again shortly.
This has been working fairly well for me for a while, but I have tweaked
it again prior to commit since my last major testing round. The only
outstanding problem that I know of is PG_G related, which is why there
is an option for it (not on by default for SMP). I have seen a world
speedups by a few percent (as much as 4 or 5% in one case) but I have
*not* accurately measured this - I am a bit sceptical of these numbers.
- fix the warnings, they are there for a reason!
- add -DNO_ERROR to your make(1) command.
- add 'makeoptions NO_WERROR=true' to your kernel config.
- add 'nowerror' to conf/files* that have warnings that should be fixed
due to tracking 3rd party vendor code.
- add 'nowerror' to conf/files* where the warning is false due to a
compiler bug and fixing it with brute force would be too expensive.
There are some very sloppy warnings in our kernel build, come on folks!
'make release' uses -DNO_WERROR intentionally.
so that this is safe even if VARIABLE is longer than kern.argmax.
There is another instance of CFILES which might need the same treatment,
and might be noticed when doing a "make links".
The same has to be done in RELENG_4 (on some different file).

It doesn't actually do it yet though. This adds a flag to config so
that we can exclude certain vendor files from this even when the rest
of the kernel has it on. make -DNO_WERROR would also bypass all of it.
buffer length, determine if the pointer is to a valid string. Currently,
the only check is whether a '\0' appears in the buffer. This is useful
when pulling in a structure from userland that may contain one or more
strings, and validity testing must be performed on elements of the
structure. When copying normal string arguments, copyinstr() is
expected to be used.
the structure definitions come from NetBSD to make it easier to share card
definitions. The driver only acts as a shim between the pci bus and the
sio driver. Later pci parallel ports could also be supported through this
driver. Support for most single and multiport pci serial cards should be
as simple as adding its definition to pucdata.c

npx is no more mandatory than sc. Its mandatoryness went away in
rev.1.226 of i386/machdep.c 9 months before it was made mandatory in
rev.1.24 of config/mkmakefile.c.
This change is mainly to test building of minimal kernel configurations.
npx should really be even more standard than clk. It was optional mainly
so that the usual device driver configuration info could be specified in

defined, no symbols are exported from the module. This is
the typical configuration for most device drivers and
standalone modules; only infrastructure modules or those with
special requirements typically need to export symbols.
Don't print the objcopy commands as they are run when converting

simplifying the module linking process and eliminating the risks
associated with doubly-defined variables.
Cases where commons were legitimately used (detection of
compiled-in subsystems) have been converted to use sysinits, and
any new code should use this or an equivalent practice as a
matter of course.
Modules can override this behaviour by substituting -fno-common
out of ${CFLAGS} in cases where commons are necessary
(eg. third-party object modules). Commons will be resolved and
allocated space when the kld is linked as part of the module
build process, so they will not pose a risk to the kernel or
other modules.
Provide a mechanism for controlling the export of symbols from
the module namespace. The EXPORT_SYMS variable may be set in the
Makefile to NO (export no symbols), a list of symbols to export,
or the name of a file containing a newline-seperated list of
symbols to be exported. Non-exported symbols are converted to
local symbols. If EXPORT_SYMS is not set, all global symbols are
currently exported. This behaviour is expected to change (to
exporting no symbols) once modules have been converted.
