# 229285 02-Jan-2012 mdf

MFC r228444:

- Define true and false in sys/types.h for _KERNEL consumers, and
typedef bool. Due to macro expansion it seemed better to use a
typedef for kernel consumers (specifically ofed won't compile
without more changes if a define is used).
- <stdbool.h> should also not re-define bool/true/false if they are
defined by <sys/types.h>. It would probably be a programming error
to define _KERNEL for user-space code, but downstream consumers
like Isilon have already been including <stdbool.h> in kernel
sources, and this protects that usage.
- sizeof(_Bool) is not necessarily the same as sizeof(int), so kernel
modules should be rebuilt with this change. Bump __FreeBSD_version.

No KBI change is expected based on review of the code.

# 222813 07-Jun-2011 attilio

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
patches related to ktr.
- jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed.
- kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the
patch.
- marius, art, nwhitehorn and andreast reviewed MD specific part of
the patch.
- marius, andreast, gonzo, nwhitehorn and jceel tested MD specific
implementations of the patch.
- Other people have made contributions on other patches that have been
already committed and have been listed separately.

Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several
degrees:
- Yahoo! for having offered the machines used for testing on big
count of CPUs.
- The FreeBSD Foundation for having sponsored my devsummit attendance,
which has been instrumental.
- Sandvine for having offered offices and infrastructure during

# 196615 28-Aug-2009 jhb

Extend the device pager to support different memory attributes on different
pages in an object.
- Add a new variant of d_mmap() currently called d_mmap2() which accepts
an additional in/out parameter that is the memory attribute to use for
the requested page.
- A driver either uses d_mmap() or d_mmap2() for all requests but not both.
The current implementation uses a flag in the cdevsw (D_MMAP2) to indicate
that the driver provides a d_mmap2() handler instead of d_mmap(). This
is done to make the change ABI compatible with existing drivers and
MFC'able to 7 and 8.

# 187830 28-Jan-2009 ed

Last step of splitting up minor and unit numbers: remove minor().

Inside the kernel, the minor() function was responsible for obtaining
the device minor number of a character device. Because we made device
numbers dynamically allocated and independent of the unit number passed
to make_dev() a long time ago, it was actually a misnomer. If you really
want to obtain the device number, you should use dev2udev().

We already converted all the drivers to use dev2unit() to obtain the
device unit number, which is still used by a lot of drivers. I've
noticed not a single driver passes NULL to dev2unit(). Even if they
would, its behaviour would make little sense. This is why I've removed
the NULL check.

Ths commit removes minor(), minor2unit() and unit2minor() from the
kernel. Because there was a naming collision with uminor(), we can
rename umajor() and uminor() back to major() and minor(). This means
that the makedev(3) manual page also applies to kernel space code now.

I suspect umajor() and uminor() isn't used that often in external code,
but to make it easier for other parties to port their code, I've
increased __FreeBSD_version to 800062.


# 184413 28-Oct-2008 trasz

Introduce accmode_t. This is required for NFSv4 ACLs - it will be neccessary
to add more V* constants, and the variables changed by this patch were often
being assigned to mode_t variables, which is 16 bit.

Approved by: rwatson (mentor)


# 183406 27-Sep-2008 ed

Move uminor() and umajor() to the same place as userspace minor() and major().

The uminor() and umajor() functions have the same use in kernel space as
the minor() and major() functions in userspace. If we ever get rid of
the minor() function in kernel space, we could decide to just expose
minor() and major() to kernel space, making uminor() and umajor()
redundant.

There are two reasons why we want to have uminor() and umajor() in
<sys/types.h>:

- Having them close together prevents them from diverting. Even though
it's unlikely the definitions will change, it's a good habit to have
them at the same place.

- They don't really belong in kern_conf.c. kern_conf.c has been
liberated from dealing with device major and minor number handling.

The device_ids(9) manpage now lists the wrong #include's, because it
should only list <sys/types.h> now. I'm leaving it as it is now, because
I wonder if we should document them anyway. We're probably better off
documenting minor(3) and major(3).

# 176730 02-Mar-2008 jeff

Add cpuset, an api for thread to cpu binding and cpu resource grouping
and assignment.
- Add a reference to a struct cpuset in each thread that is inherited from
the thread that created it.
- Release the reference when the thread is destroyed.
- Add prototypes for syscalls and macros for manipulating cpusets in
sys/cpuset.h
- Add syscalls to create, get, and set new numbered cpusets:
cpuset(), cpuset_{get,set}id()
- Add syscalls for getting and setting affinity masks for cpusets or
individual threads: cpuid_{get,set}affinity()
- Add types for the 'level' and 'which' parameters for the cpuset. This
will permit expansion of the api to cover cpu masks for other objects
identifiable with an id_t integer. For example, IRQs and Jails may be
coming soon.
- The root set 0 contains all valid cpus. All thread initially belong to
cpuset 1. This permits migrating all threads off of certain cpus to
reserve them for special applications.

Remove _SOLARIS_C_SOURCE compatibility definitions. Unfortunately the
ZFS porting style didn't extend this, instead using a heap of additional
header files that don't get installed.

My intention had been to allow OpenSolaris external code to build on
FreeBSD out of the box (i.e. without a src tree).


# 160986 04-Aug-2006 jb

Add some compatibility definitions for OpenSolaris source.

These are only defined if _SOLARIS_C_SOURCE is defined, so they don't
polute the FreeBSD compile environment.

They are used all over the OpenSolaris source, so defining them here
removes the need to continually resolve differences in FreeBSD system
haeder files from Solaris header files.

A typical device driver can save 10-30 lines of code by using these.

Usage examples will follow RSN.

# 127239 20-Mar-2004 marcel

Introduce the cpumask_t type. The purpose of the type is to create a
level of abstraction for any and all CPU mask and CPU bitmap variables
so that platforms have the ability to break free from the hard limit
of 32 CPUs, simply because we don't have more bits in an u_int. Note
that the type is not supposed to solve massive parallelism, where
the number of CPUs can be larger than the width of the widest integral
type. As such, cpumask_t is not supposed to be a compound type. If
such would be necessary in the future, we can deal with the issues
then and there. For now, it can be assumed that the type is integral
and unsigned.

With this commit, all MD definitions start off as u_int. This allows
us to phase-in cpumask_t at our leasure without breaking anything.
Once cpumask_t is used consistently, platforms can switch to wider
(or smaller) types if such would be beneficial (or not; whatever :-)

- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the

- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.

Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

# 98542 21-Jun-2002 mckusick

This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

Remove myriad of local offsetof() definitions.

Followup to previous commit; change fd_mask from signed to unsigned as
it should have been to start with. The implications of that are not
pleasant when combined with >> as it breaks on multiples of NFDBITS.
Right shifting of a signed value fills with a copy of the sign bit,

Fix select(2) for the Alpha. (!!) It was never returning true for
fd's in the range of 32-63, 96-127 etc. The first problem was the
FD_*() macros were shifting a 32 bit integer "1" left by more than
32 bits. The same problem happened in selscan(). ffs() also takes
an int argument and causes failure. For cases where int == long
(ie: the usual case for x86, but not always as gcc can have long
being a 64 bit quantity) ffs() could be used.

Now a dev_t is a pointer to struct specinfo which is shared by all specdev
vnodes referencing this device.

Details:
cdevsw->d_parms has been removed, the specinfo is available
now (== dev_t) and the driver should modify it directly
when applicable, and the only driver doing so, does so:
vn.c. I am not sure the logic in checking for "<" was right
before, and it looks even less so now.

An intial pool of 50 struct specinfo are depleted during
early boot, after that malloc had better work. It is
likely that fewer than 50 would do.

Hashing is done from udev_t to dev_t with a prime number
remainder hash, experiments show no better hash available
for decent cost (MD5 is only marginally better) The prime
number used should not be close to a power of two, we use
83 for now.

Add new checkalias2() to get around the loss of info from
dev2udev() in bdevvp();

The aliased vnodes are hung on a list straight of the dev_t,
and speclisth[SPECSZ] is unused. The sharing of struct
specinfo means that the v_specnext moves into the vnode
which grows by 4 bytes.

Don't use a VBLK dev_t which doesn't make sense in MFS, now
we hang a dummy cdevsw on B/Cmaj 253 so that things look sane.

Storage overhead from all of this is O(50k).

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400009

The next step will add the stuff needed so device-drivers can start to
hang things from struct specinfo

#define udev_t dev_t in userland, so that programs which peek at

# 47028 11-May-1999 phk

Divorce "dev_t" from the "major|minor" bitmap, which is now called
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.

Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()

For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.

Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.

Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.

In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.

In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).

A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.

Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.

Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.

Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).


# 46818 09-May-1999 phk

Make minor, major and makedev inline functions so we gain type checking

their recent change to void *.

madvise and mincore are not defined by POSIX, but their arguments
have been modified to be consistent with the POSIX-defined functions.
mincore takes a const pointer, but madvise does not due to the

Since this hasn't caused problems, there must be no one actually
benefitting from the obfuscations supported by <sys/cdefs.h>.
`make CC="cc -traditional"' in /usr/src/bin shows the same. Almost
everything is broken in essentially the same way - `const' is used
in strings before <sys/cdefs.h> is included, so `const' is not
#defined away until after it is used.
