Initialize and free the DTrace taskqueue in the dtrace module load/unload
handlers rather than in the dtrace device open/close methods. The current
approach can cause a panic if the device is closed which the taskqueue
thread is active, or if a kernel module containing a provider is unloaded
while retained enablings are present and the dtrace device isn't opened.

Rename the kld_unload event handler to kld_unload_try, and add a new
kld_unload event handler which gets invoked after a linker file has been
successfully unloaded. The kld_unload and kld_load event handlers are now
invoked with the shared linker lock held, while kld_unload_try is invoked
with the lock exclusively held.

Convert hwpmc(4) to use these event handlers instead of having
kern_kldload() and kern_kldunload() invoke hwpmc(4) hooks whenever files are
loaded or unloaded. This has no functional effect, but simplifes the linker
code somewhat.

FreeBSD's DTrace implementation has a few problems with respect to handling
probes declared in a kernel module when that module is unloaded. In
particular,

* Unloading a module with active SDT probes will cause a panic. [1]
* A module's (FBT/SDT) probes aren't destroyed when the module is unloaded;
trying to use them after the fact will generally cause a panic.

This change fixes both problems by porting the DTrace module load/unload
handlers from illumos and registering them with the corresponding
EVENTHANDLER(9) handlers. This allows the DTrace framework to destroy all
probes defined in a module when that module is unloaded, and to prevent a
module unload from proceeding if some of its probes are active. The latter
problem has already been fixed for FBT probes by checking lf->nenabled in
kern_kldunload(), but moving the check into the DTrace framework generalizes
it to all kernel providers and also fixes a race in the current
implementation (since a probe may be activated between the check and the
call to linker_file_unload()).

Additionally, the SDT implementation has been reworked to define SDT
providers/probes/argtypes in linker sets rather than using SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT
to create and destroy SDT probes when a module is loaded or unloaded. This
simplifies things quite a bit since it means that pretty much all of the SDT
code can live in sdt.ko, and since it becomes easier to integrate SDT with
the DTrace framework. Furthermore, this allows FreeBSD to be quite flexible
in that SDT providers spanning multiple modules can be created on the fly
when a module is loaded; at the moment it looks like illumos' SDT
implementation requires all SDT probes to be statically defined in a single
kernel table.

SDT probes can directly pass up to five arguments as arguments to
dtrace_probe(). Arguments beyond these five must be obtained in an
architecture-specific way; this can be done through the getargval provider
method, and through dtrace_getarg() if getargval isn't overridden.

This change fixes two off-by-one bugs in the way these arguments are fetched
in FreeBSD's DTrace implementation. First, the SDT provider must set the
aframes parameter to 1 when creating a probe. The aframes parameter controls
the number of frames that dtrace_getarg() will step over in order to find
the frame containing the extra arguments. On FreeBSD, dtrace_getarg() is
called in SDT probe context via

dtrace_probe()->dtrace_dif_emulate()->dtrace_dif_variable->dtrace_getarg()

so aframes must be 3 since the arguments are in dtrace_probe()'s frame; it
was previously being called with a value of 2 instead. illumos uses a
different aframes value for SDT probes, but this is because illumos SDT
probes fire by triggering the #UD fault handler rather than calling
dtrace_probe() directly.

The second bug has to do with the way arguments are grabbed out
dtrace_probe()'s frame on amd64. The code currently jumps over the first
stack argument and retrieves the rest of them using a pointer into the
stack. This works on i386 because all of dtrace_probe()'s arguments will be
on the stack and the first argument is the probe ID, which should be
ignored. However, it is incorrect to ignore the first stack argument on
amd64, so we correct the pointer used to access the arguments.

Port the SDT test now that it's possible to create SDT probes that take
seven arguments.

The original test uses Solaris' uadmin system call to trigger the test
probe; this change adds a sysctl to the dtrace_test module and gets the test
program to trigger the test probe via the sysctl handler.

The test is currently failing on amd64 because of some bugs in the way that
probe arguments beyond the first five are obtained - these bugs will be
fixed in a separate change.

Bring back part of r249367 by adding DTrace's temporal option, which allows
users to guarantee that the output of DTrace scripts will be time-ordered.
This option is enabled by adding the line

#pragma D option temporal

to the beginning of a script, or by adding '-x temporal' to the arguments of
dtrace(1).

This change fixes a bug in the original port of the temporal option. This
bug was causing some assertions to fail, so they had been disabled; in this
revision the assertions are working properly and are enabled.

The DTrace version number has been bumped from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1 to reflect
the language change that's being introduced.

Add device part of DTrace/MIPS code


227430 10-Nov-2011 rstone

On i386, fbt probes are implemented by writing an invalid opcode over
certain instructions in a function prologue or epilogue. DTrace has a
hook into the invalid opcode fault handler that checks whether the fault
was due to an probe and if so, runs the DTrace magic.

Upon returning from an invalid opcode fault caused by a probe, DTrace must
emulate the instruction that was replaced with the invalid opcode and then
return control to the instruction following the invalid opcode.

There were a pair of related bugs in the emulation for the leave
instruction. The leave instruction is used to pop off a stack frame prior
to returning from a function. The emulation for this instruction must
move the trap frame for the invalid opcode fault down the stack to the
bottom of the stack frame that is being removed, and then execute an iret.

At two points in this process, the emulation code was storing values above
the current value of the stack pointer. This opened up a window in which
if we were two take an interrupt, the trap frame for the interrupt would
overwrite the values stored on the stack, causing the system to panic
later.

The first bug was that at one point the emulation code saves the new value
for $esp above the current stack pointer value. The fix is to save this
value instead inside of the original trap frame. At this point we do
not need the original trap frame so this is safe.

The second bug is that when the emulate code loads $esp from the stack, it
points part-way through the new trap frame instead of at its beginning.
The emulation code adjusts the stack pointer to the correct value
immediately afterwards, but this still leaves a one instruction window in
which an interrupt would corrupt this trap frame. Fix this by adjusting
the stack frame value before loading it into $esp.

This fixes panics in invop_leave on i386 when using fbt return probes.

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.

People to thank for the time spent on this patch:
- sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested
several revision of the patches and really helped in improving
stability of this work.
- marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed

Use atomic load & store for TSC frequency. It may be overkill for amd64 but
safer for i386 because it can be easily over 4 GHz now. More worse, it can
be easily changed by user with 'machdep.tsc_freq' tunable (directly) or
cpufreq(4) (indirectly). Note it is intentionally not used in performance
critical paths to avoid performance regression (but we should, in theory).
Alternatively, we may add "virtual TSC" with lower frequency if maximum
frequency overflows 32 bits (and ignore possible incoherency as we do now).

dtrace_gethrtime: improve scaling of TSC ticks to nanoseconds

Currently dtrace_gethrtime uses formula similar to the following for
converting TSC ticks to nanoseconds:
rdtsc() * 10^9 / tsc_freq
The dividend overflows 64-bit type and wraps-around every 2^64/10^9 =
18446744073 ticks which is just a few seconds on modern machines.

Now we instead use precalculated scaling factor of
10^9*2^N/tsc_freq < 2^32 and perform TSC value multiplication separately
for each 32-bit half. This allows to avoid overflow of the dividend
described above.
The idea is taken from OpenSolaris.
This has an added feature of always scaling TSC with invariant value
regardless of TSC frequency changes. Thus the timestamps will not be
accurate if TSC actually changes, but they are always proportional to
TSC ticks and thus monotonic. This should be much better than current
formula which produces wildly different non-monotonic results on when
tsc_freq changes.

Also drop write-only 'cp' variable from amd64 dtrace_gethrtime_init()
to make it identical to the i386 twin.

Remove unit2minor() use from kernel code.

When I changed kern_conf.c three months ago I made device unit numbers
equal to (unneeded) device minor numbers. We used to require
bitshifting, because there were eight bits in the middle that were

The unit2minor() and minor2unit() macro's were no-ops.

We'd better not remove these four macro's from the kernel, because there
