MFC r332752: set kdb_why to "trap" when calling kdb_trap from trap_fatal

This will allow to hook a ddb script to "kdb.enter.trap" event.
Previously there was no specific name for this event, so it could only
be handled by either "kdb.enter.unknown" or "kdb.enter.default" hooks.
Both are very unspecific.

Having a specific event is useful because the fatal trap condition is
very similar to panic but it has an additional property that the current
stack frame is the frame where the trap occurred. So, both a register
dump and a stack bottom dump have additional information that can help
analyze the problem.

I have added the event only on architectures that have trap_fatal()
function defined. I haven't looked at other architectures. Their
maintainers can add support for the event later.

Sample script:
kdb.enter.trap=bt; show reg; x/aS $rsp,20; x/agx $rsp,20

Note: changes to powerpc/aim/trap.c and powerpc/booke/trap.c are direct
changes.

The kernel stack guard pages are only below the stack pointer, not above.

Remove unnecessary double-setting of the thread's onfault state in
copyinstr().

Open Firmware mandates that certain cross-references, in particular those
in /chosen, be ihandles. The ePAPR spec makes those cross-reference phandles,
since FDT has no concept of ihandles. Have the OF FDT CI module interpret
queries about ihandles as cross-reference phandles.

Real OF systems have an ihandle under /chosen/stdout, not a phandle. Use
the right type.

Open Firmware-centric.

Remove fdtbus_bs_tag definition, which is now obsolete. The remainder of

#interrupt-cells belongs to the iparent, not the device parent.

Add a sysctl to allow disabling resetting the OF syscons.

For PCI<->PCI bridges, #address-cells may be 3.

Make RTAS calls, which call setfault() to recover from machine checks,

badaddr() is used only in the grackle PCI driver, so move its definition

The soft and hard busy mechanism rely on the vm object lock to work.
Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.

Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag

The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

Add pmap function pmap_copy_pages(), which copies the content of the
pages around, taking array of vm_page_t both for source and
destination. Starting offsets and total transfer size are specified.

The function implements optimal algorithm for copying using the
platform-specific optimizations. For instance, on the architectures
were the direct map is available, no transient mappings are created,
for i386 the per-cpu ephemeral page frame is used. The code was
typically borrowed from the pmap_copy_page() for the same
architecture.

Only i386/amd64, powerpc aim and arm/arm-v6 implementations were
tested at the time of commit. High-level code, not committed yet to
the tree, ensures that the use of the function is only allowed after
explicit enablement.

For sparc64, the existing code has known issues and a stab is added
instead, to allow the kernel linking.

Switch the vm_object mutex to be a rwlock. This will enable in the
future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.

The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.

The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

Merge from vmc-playground branch:
Replace the sub-optimal uma_zone_set_obj() primitive with more modern
uma_zone_reserve_kva(). The new primitive reserves before hand
the necessary KVA space to cater the zone allocations and allocates pages
with ALLOC_NOOBJ. More specifically:
- uma_zone_reserve_kva() does not need an object to cater the backend
allocator.
- uma_zone_reserve_kva() can cater M_WAITOK requests, in order to
serve zones which need to do uma_prealloc() too.
- When possible, uma_zone_reserve_kva() uses directly the direct-mapping
by uma_small_alloc() rather than relying on the KVA / offset
combination.

The removal of the object attribute allows 2 further changes:
1) _vm_object_allocate() becomes static within vm_object.c
2) VM_OBJECT_LOCK_INIT() is removed. This function is replaced by
direct calls to mtx_init() as there is no need to export it anymore
and the calls aren't either homogeneous anymore: there are now small
differences between arguments passed to mtx_init().

o Disable the boot page translation to allow the last 4K page to be used

o Fix kernstart in the case of SMP. The start argument is typically page
aligned due to the alignment requirements that come with having a boot

Add support for Juniper's loader. The difference between FreeBSD's and
Juniper's loader is that Juniper's loader maps all of the kernel and
preloaded modules at the right virtual address before jumping into the
kernel. FreeBSD's loader simply maps 16MB using the physical address
and expects the kernel to jump through hoops to relocate itself to
it's virtual address. The problem with the FreeBSD loader's approach is
that it typically maps too much or too little. There's no harm if it's
too much (other than wasting space), but if it's too little then the
kernel will simply not boot, because the first thing the kernel needs
is the bootinfo structure, which is never mapped in that case. The page
fault that early is fatal.

The changes constitute:
1. Do not remap the kernel in locore.S. We're mapped where we need to
be so we can pretty much call into C code after setting up the
stack.
2. With kernload and kernload_ap not set in locore.S, we need to set
them in pmap.c: kernload gets defined when we preserve the TLB1.
Here we also determine the size of the kernel mapped. kernload_ap
is set first thing in the pmap_bootstrap() method.
3. Fix tlb1_map_region() and its use to properly externd the mapped
kernel size to include low-level data structures.

Use the ABI-mandated thread pointer register (r2 for ppc32, r13 for ppc64)
instead of a PCPU field for curthread. This averts a race on SMP systems
with a high interrupt rate where the thread looking up the value of
curthread could be preempted and migrated between obtaining the PCPU
pointer and reading the value of pc_curthread, resulting in curthread being
observed to be the current thread on the thread's original CPU. This played
merry havoc with the system, in particular with mutexes. Many thanks to
jhb for helping me work this one out.

Note that Book-E is in principle susceptible to the same problem, but has

etire the cpumask_t type and replace it with cpuset_t usage.

This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are
capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever
value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are
statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it
as low as possible for the time being.

Technical notes on this commit itself:
- More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced.
The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3)
for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string
representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which
creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation).
- pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon.
With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient
and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that
access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid
migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word
- Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel
and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself,
it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch
as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when
accessing kernland members.
- KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be
set as the example reported in NOTES.

Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but
private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt)
machine (amd64).

Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of
the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not
targeted for MFC.

On multi-core, multi-threaded PPC systems, it is important that the threads
be brought up in the order they are enumerated in the device tree (in
particular, that thread 0 on each core be brought up first). The SLIST
through which we loop to start the CPUs has all of its entries added with
SLIST_INSERT_HEAD(), which means it is in reverse order of enumeration
and so AP startup would always fail in such situations (causing a machine
check or RTAS failure). Fix this by changing the SLIST into an STAILQ,
and inserting new CPUs at the end.

Better support different kernel hand-offs. When loaded directly
from U-Boot, the kernel is passed a standard argc/argv pair.
The Juniper loader passes the metadata pointer as the second
argument and passes 0 in the first. The FreeBSD loader passes
the metadata pointer in the first argument.

As such, have locore preserve the first 2 arguments in registers
r30 & r31. Change e500_init() to accept these arguments. Don't
pass global offsets (i.e. kernel_text and _end) as arguments to
e500_init(). We can reference those directly.

Rename e500_init() to booke_init() now that we're changing the
prototype.

In booke_init(), "decode" arg1 and arg2 to obtain the metadata
pointer correctly. For the U-Boot case, clear SBSS and BSS and
bank on having a static FDT for now. This allows loading the
ELF kernel and jumping to the entry point without trampoline.

o The P1020(E) & P2020(E) also have two cores. This conditional has

o Simplify the CPU reset function by writing to the reset control
register irrespective of whether the CPU has one and automatically
falling back to the debug control register if we didn't reset the
CPU. The side-effect is that we now properly reset future processors
without first having to add the system version to the list.

Adjust the order of operations in spinlock_enter() and spinlock_exit() to
work properly with single-stepping in a kernel debugger. Specifically,
these routines have always disabled interrupts before increasing the nesting
count and restored the prior state of interrupts after decreasing the nesting
count to avoid problems with a nested interrupt not disabling interrupts
when acquiring a spin lock. However, trap interrupts for single-stepping
can still occur even when interrupts are disabled. Now the saved state of
interrupts is not saved in the thread until after interrupts have been
disabled and the nesting count has been increased. Similarly, the saved
state from the thread cannot be read once the nesting count has been
decreased to zero. To fix this, use temporary variables to store interrupt
state and shuffle it between the thread's MD area and the appropriate
registers.

Refactor timer management code with priority to one-shot operation mode.
The main goal of this is to generate timer interrupts only when there is
some work to do. When CPU is busy interrupts are generating at full rate
of hz + stathz to fullfill scheduler and timekeeping requirements. But
when CPU is idle, only minimum set of interrupts (down to 8 interrupts per
second per CPU now), needed to handle scheduled callouts is executed.
This allows significantly increase idle CPU sleep time, increasing effect
of static power-saving technologies. Also it should reduce host CPU load
on virtualized systems, when guest system is idle.

There is set of tunables, also available as writable sysctls, allowing to
control wanted event timer subsystem behavior:
kern.eventtimer.timer - allows to choose event timer hardware to use.
On x86 there is up to 4 different kinds of timers. Depending on whether
chosen timer is per-CPU, behavior of other options slightly differs.
kern.eventtimer.periodic - allows to choose periodic and one-shot
operation mode. In periodic mode, current timer hardware taken as the only
source of time for time events. This mode is quite alike to previous kernel
behavior. One-shot mode instead uses currently selected time counter
hardware to schedule all needed events one by one and program timer to
generate interrupt exactly in specified time. Default value depends of
chosen timer capabilities, but one-shot mode is preferred, until other is
forced by user or hardware.
kern.eventtimer.singlemul - in periodic mode specifies how much times
higher timer frequency should be, to not strictly alias hardclock() and
statclock() events. Default values are 2 and 4, but could be reduced to 1
if extra interrupts are unwanted.
kern.eventtimer.idletick - makes each CPU to receive every timer interrupt
independently of whether they busy or not. By default this options is
disabled. If chosen timer is per-CPU and runs in periodic mode, this option
has no effect - all interrupts are generating.

As soon as this patch modifies cpu_idle() on some platforms, I have also
refactored one on x86. Now it makes use of MONITOR/MWAIT instrunctions
(if supported) under high sleep/wakeup rate, as fast alternative to other
methods. It allows SMP scheduler to wake up sleeping CPUs much faster
without using IPI, significantly increasing performance on some highly
task-switching loads.

Reorganize syscall entry and leave handling.

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.

On entry to pmap_enter(), assert that the page is busy. While I'm
here, make the style of assertion used by pmap_enter() consistent
across all architectures.

On entry to pmap_remove_write(), assert that the page is neither
unmanaged nor fictitious, since we cannot remove write access to
either kind of page.

With the push down of the page queues lock, pmap_remove_write() cannot
condition its behavior on the state of the PG_WRITEABLE flag if the
page is busy. Assert that the object containing the page is locked.
This allows us to know that the page will neither become busy nor will
PG_WRITEABLE be set on it while pmap_remove_write() is running.

Correct a long-standing bug in vm_page_cowsetup(). We cannot possibly
do copy-on-write-based zero-copy transmit on unmanaged or fictitious
pages, so don't even try. Previously, the call to pmap_remove_write()
would have failed silently.

Resurrect pmap_is_referenced() and use it in mincore(). Essentially,
pmap_ts_referenced() is not always appropriate for checking whether or
not pages have been referenced because it clears any reference bits
that it encounters. For example, in mincore(), clearing the reference
bits has two negative consequences. First, it throws off the activity
count calculations performed by the page daemon. Specifically, a page
on which mincore() has called pmap_ts_referenced() looks less active
to the page daemon than it should. Consequently, the page could be
deactivated prematurely by the page daemon. Arguably, this problem
could be fixed by having mincore() duplicate the activity count
calculation on the page. However, there is a second problem for which
that is not a solution. In order to clear a reference on a 4KB page,
it may be necessary to demote a 2/4MB page mapping. Thus, a mincore()
by one process can have the side effect of demoting a superpage
mapping within another process!

o Introduce vm_sync_icache() for making the I-cache coherent with
the memory or D-cache, depending on the semantics of the platform.
vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve
the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys().
o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
hit the breakpoint.
o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).

The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent
*after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding
or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before*
any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.

Add cpu_flush_dcache() for use after non-DMA based I/O so that a
possible future I-cache coherency operation can succeed. On ARM
for example the L1 cache can be (is) virtually mapped, which
means that any I/O that uses temporary mappings will not see the
I-cache made coherent. On ia64 a similar behaviour has been
observed. By flushing the D-cache, execution of binaries backed
by md(4) and/or NFS work reliably.
For Book-E (powerpc), execution over NFS exhibits SIGILL once in
a while as well, though cpu_flush_dcache() hasn't been implemented
yet.

Doing an explicit D-cache flush as part of the non-DMA based I/O
read operation eliminates the need to do it as part of the
I-cache coherency operation itself and as such avoids pessimizing
the DMA-based I/O read operations for which D-cache are already
flushed/invalidated. It also allows future optimizations whereby
the bcopy() followed by the D-cache flush can be integrated in a
single operation, which could be implemented using on-chips DMA
engines, by-passing the D-cache altogether.

Now that all platforms use genclock, shuffle things around slightly
for better structure.

Much of this is related to <sys/clock.h>, which should really have
been called <sys/calendar.h>, but unless and until we need the name,
the repocopy can wait.

In general the kernel does not know about minutes, hours, days,
timezones, daylight savings time, leap-years and such. All that
is theoretically a matter for userland only.

Parts of kernel code does however care: badly designed filesystems
store timestamps in local time and RTC chips almost universally
track time in a YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, and sometimes in local
timezone instead of UTC. For this we have <sys/clock.h>

<sys/time.h> on the other hand, deals with time_t, timeval, timespec
and so on. These know only seconds and fractions thereof.

Move inittodr() and resettodr() prototypes to <sys/time.h>.
Retain the names as it is one of the few surviving PDP/VAX references.

The "free-lance" timer in the i8254 is only used for the speaker
these days, so de-generalize the acquire_timer/release_timer api
to just deal with speakers.

The new (optional) MD functions are:
timer_spkr_acquire()
timer_spkr_release()
and
timer_spkr_setfreq()

the last of which configures the timer to generate a tone of a given
frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.

Drop entirely timer2 on pc98, it is not used anywhere at all.

Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if
they exist, and do nothing otherwise.

Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()
functions from the non-beeping archs.

This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.

Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.

In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from
the KDMKTONE ioctl in terms if 1/1193182th second, so we hardcode
the 1193182 and leave it at that. It's probably not important.

Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.

This eliminates the knowledge of i8254_freq from all but the actual
clock.c code and the prof_machdep.c on amd64 and i386, where I think
it would be smart to ask for help from the timecounters anyway [TBD].

Obtain TSEC h/w address from the parent bus (OCP) and not rely blindly on what
might be currently programmed into the registers.

Underlying firmware (U-Boot) would typically program MAC address into the
first unit only, and others are left uninitialized. It is now possible to
retrieve and program MAC address for all units properly, provided they were
passed on in the bootinfo metadata.

Remove kernel support for M:N threading.

While the KSE project was quite successful in bringing threading to
FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the kse library was never developed
to its full potential. Backwards compatibility will be provided via
libmap.conf for dynamically linked binaries and static binaries will
be broken.

Enable the D-cache and I-cache when not already enabled.
It so happens that U-Boot disables the D-cache when booting
an ELF image, so this change makes sure we run with the
D-cache enabled from now on. It shows too...

While here, remove the duplicate definition of the hw.model
sysctl.

Initial support for Freescale PowerQUICC III MPC85xx system-on-chip family.

The PQ3 is a high performance integrated communications processing system
based on the e500 core, which is an embedded RISC processor that implements
the 32-bit Book E definition of the PowerPC architecture. For details refer
to: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8555E

This port was tested and successfully run on the following members of the PQ3
family: MPC8533, MPC8541, MPC8548, MPC8555.

The following major integrated peripherals are supported:

* On-chip peripherals bus
* OpenPIC interrupt controller
* UART
* Ethernet (TSEC)
* Host/PCI bridge
* QUICC engine (SCC functionality)

This commit brings the main functionality and will be followed by individual
drivers that are logically separate from this base.
