kernel configurations, including GENERIC. LINT also builds and
links cleanly, though I have not tried to boot it.
The impact on developers is virtually nil, except for two things.
All linker sets that might possibly be present in the kernel must be
listed in "sys/i386/i386/setdefs.h". And all C symbols that are
also referenced from assembly language code must be listed in
"sys/i386/include/asnames.h". It so happens that failure to do
these things will have no impact on the a.out kernel. But it will
break the build of the ELF kernel.

Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()

begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer

sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.
The 8K of memory at the top of the process space is now empty, and unmapped

convenient and makes life difficult for my next commit. We still need
an i386tss to point to for the tss slot in the gdt, so we use a common
tss shared between all processes.
Note that this is going to break debugging until this series of commits

a more modern core dump format that doesn't depend on the pcb/upages.

I have code to calibrate the overhead fairly accurately, but there
is little point in using it since it is most accurate on machines
where an estimate of 0 works well. On slow machines, the accuracy
of DELAY() has a large variance since it is limited by the resolution
of getit() even if the initial delay is calibrated perfectly.
Use fixed point and long longs to speed up scaling in DELAY().
The old method slowed down a lot when the frequency became variable.
Assume the default frequency for short delays so that the fixed
point calculation can be exact.
Fast scaling is only important for small delays. Scaling is done
after looking at the counter and outside the loop, so it doesn't
decrease accuracy or resolution provided it completes before the
delay is up. The comment in the code is still confused about this.
Disabling npx0 works right now.

tended to cause infinite loops for delays of > 20 us. Such delays

is too small to matter (and too small to be correct) except in the
PC98 case. For pcvt, DELAY() is not used for small delays (pcvt
uses its own broken routine instead of the standard broken one),
but some versions call DELAY() with a large arg when they unnecessarily
initialize the keyboard for doing console output. The problem is
more serious for pcvt because there is always some early console

Reduced nesting of #includes in the usual case.
Increased nesting of #includes when CLOCK_HAIR is defined. This

are no cache misses in or caused by the profiling code.

I586_OPTIMIZED_BCOPY is configured.
Similarly for bzero/I586_OPTIMIZED_BZERO.
Fake 586's had better have a hardware FPU with non-broken exception
handling (we mask exceptions, but broken exception handling may trap
on the instructions that do the masking). I guess this means that
the routines won't work on most 386's or FPUless 486's even when they
have a h/w FPU.
These are based on using the FPU to do 64-bit stores. They also
use i586-optimized instruction ordering, i586-optimized cache
management and a couple of other tricks. They should work on any
i*86 with a h/w FPU, but are slower on at least i386's and i486's.
They come close to saturating the memory bus on i586's. bzero()
can maintain a 3-3-3-3 burst cycle to 66 MHz non-EDO main memory
on a P133 (but is too slow to keep up with a 2-2-2-2 burst cycle
for EDO - someone with EDO should fix this). bcopy() is several
cycles short of keeping up with a 3-3-3-3 cycle for writing. For
a P133 writing to 66 MHz main memory, it just manages an N-3-3-3,
3-3-3-3 pair of burst cycles, where N is typically 6.
The new routines are not used by default. They are always configured
and can be enabled at runtime using a debugger or an lkm to change
their function pointer, or at compile time using new options (see
another log message).
Removed old, dead i586_bzero() and i686_bzero(). Read-before-write is
usually bad for i586's. It doubles the memory traffic unless the data
is already cached, and data is (or should be) very rarely cached for
large bzero()s (the system should prefer uncached pages for cleaning),
and the amount of data handled by small bzero()s is relatively small
in the kernel.
Improved comments about overlapping copies.
Removed unused #include.
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-

and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image
from the next snap forward (not yet, but soon):
% dd of=/dev/rfd0 seek=1 bs=512 count=1 conv=sync <<WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

dependent operation, and not really a correct name. invltlb and invlpg
are more descriptive, and in the case of invlpg, a real opcode.
Additionally, fix the tlb management code for 386 machines.
lcall 7,0 (ie: ldt slot 0) and lcall 0x87,0 (ldt slot 16, it's shifted
three bits to the left). I was fiddling with this so long ago, I don't
recall the specifics.
with this quite a while ago when somebody reported a BSD/OS 2.1 binary
that wouldn't run. I'm pretty sure they tried it and I'm pretty sure
they mentioned to me that the patch worked.
comparisons in the inb() and outb() macros. I decided that int args
are OK here. Any type that can hold a u_int16_t without overflow
is correct, and 32-bit types are optimal.
Introduced a few tens of warnings (100 in LINT) for use of pessimized
(short) types for the port arg. Only a few drivers are affected by
this. u_short pessimizations aren't detected.
Added `__extension__' before the statement-expression in inb() so
that it can be compiled without warnings by gcc -pedantic.
the prototype.
Put the jump table for i486_bzero() in the data section. This
speeds up i486_bzero() a little on Pentiums without significantly
affecting its speed on 486's.
Don't waste time falling through 14 nop's to return from do1 in
i486_bzero().
Use fastmove() for counts >= 1024 (was > 1024). Cosmetic.
Fixed profiling of fastmove().
Restored meaningful labels from the pre-1.1 version in fastmove().
Local labels are evil.
Fixed (high resolution non-) profiling of __bb_init_func().
I maintain that it saves more power to simply "hlt" the CPU than to
spend tons of time trying to tell the APM bios to do the same.
In particular if you do it 100 times a second...
instead of 0 if there is no input.
syscons.c:
Added missing spl locking in sccncheckc(). Return the same value as
sccngetc() would. It is wrong for sccngetc() to return non-ASCII, but
stripping the non-ASCII bits doesn't help.
(1) Add PC98 support to apm_bios.h and ns16550.h, remove pc98/pc98/ic
(2) Move PC98 specific code out of cpufunc.h (to pc98.h)
(3) Let the boot subtrees look more alike

modified. Pages that are removed by the pageout daemon were
the worst affected. Additionally, numerous minor cleanups,
including better handling of busy page table pages. This
commit fixes the worst of the pmap problems recently introduced.
biosextmem > 65536, but biosextmem is a 16-bit quantity so it is
guaranteed to be < 65536. Related cruft for biosbasemem was
mostly cleaned up in rev.1.26.
The default level works with minimal overhead, but one can also enable
full, efficient use of a 512K cache. (Parameters can be generated
to support arbitrary cache sizes also.)
returned by the RTC, use the bootblock supplied value. Also, map the
'stolen by BIOS' memory in the same manner as the ISA-hole memory, since
it is really an extenstion of the BIOS. This is necessary for 32-bit
BIOS functions such as APM support on laptops, and the loss of memory
for non-necessary functions seems to be at most 4k.

nearest .01 Mhz rather than simply truncating it downwards.
This hack makes this 89.999928 Mhz clock correctly round to the closer
90.00-MHz rather than 89.99-MHz:
> i586 clock: 89999928 Hz, i8254 clock: 1193152 Hz
> CPU: Pentium (90.00-MHz 586-class CPU)
Changed i586_ctr_bias from long long to u_int. Only the low 32 bits
are used now that microtime uses a multiplication to do the scaling.
Previously the high 32 bits had to match those of rdtsc() to prevent
overflow traps and invalid timeval adjustments.
