AST: rework

Make most AST handlers dynamically registered. This allows to have
subsystem-specific handler source located in the subsystem files,
instead of making subr_trap.c aware of it. For instance, signal
delivery code on return to userspace is now moved to kern_sig.c.

Also, it allows to have some handlers designated as the cleanup (kclear)
type, which are called both at AST and on thread/process exit. For
instance, ast(), exit1(), and NFS server no longer need to be aware
about UFS softdep processing.

The dynamic registration also allows third-party modules to register AST
handlers if needed. There is one caveat with loadable modules: the
code does not make any effort to ensure that the module is not unloaded
before all threads processed through AST handler in it. In fact, this
is already present behavior for hwpmc.ko and ufs.ko. I do not think it
is worth the efforts and the runtime overhead to try to fix it.

Stop using fuswintr() and suswintr() in the profiler.

Always take the AST path rather than calling MD functions which are
often implemented as always failing. The is the case on amd64, arm,
i386, and powerpc. This optimization (inherited from 4.4 Lite) is a
pessimization on those architectures and is the sole use of these
functions. They will be removed in a seperate commit.

sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

# 5c7bebf9 26-Nov-2014 Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org>

The process spin lock currently has the following distinct uses:

- Threads lifetime cycle, in particular, counting of the threads in
the process, and interlocking with process mutex and thread lock.
The main reason of this is that turnstile locks are after thread
locks, so you e.g. cannot unlock blockable mutex (think process
mutex) while owning thread lock.

- Virtual and profiling itimers, since the timers activation is done
from the clock interrupt context. Replace the p_slock by p_itimmtx
and PROC_ITIMLOCK().

- Profiling code (profil(2)), for similar reason. Replace the p_slock
by p_profmtx and PROC_PROFLOCK().

- Resource usage accounting. Need for the spinlock there is subtle,
my understanding is that spinlock blocks context switching for the
current thread, which prevents td_runtime and similar fields from
changing (updates are done at the mi_switch()). Replace the p_slock
by p_statmtx and PROC_STATLOCK().

The split is done mostly for code clarity, and should not affect
scalability.

# 0067051f 20-Oct-2014 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Fully support constructors for the purpose of code coverage analysis.
This involves:
1. Have the loader pass the start and size of the .ctors section to the
kernel in 2 new metadata elements.
2. Have the linker backends look for and record the start and size of
the .ctors section in dynamically loaded modules.
3. Have the linker backends call the constructors as part of the final
work of initializing preloaded or dynamically loaded modules.

Note that LLVM appends the priority of the constructors to the name of
the .ctors section. Not so when compiling with GCC. The code currently
works for GCC and not for LLVM.

fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel

Initialize the history counter type field in struct gmonparam as
threatened in rev.1.10 of usr.sbin/kgmon/kgmon.c more than 2 years ago.
kgmon has been recovering from the missing initialization for too
long, but the fixup there is ifdefed for i386's and shouldn't be
needed for other arches.


# e77c22bf 20-May-2004 Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>

Moved i386 asms to an i386 header. The asms are for calibration of
high resolution kernel profiling (options GUPROF. "U" in GUPROF stands
for microseconds resolution, but the resolution is now smaller than 1
nanosecond on multi-GHz machines and the accuracy is heading towards
1 nanosecond too). Arches that support GUPROF must now provide certain
macros for the calibration. GUPROF is now only supported for i386's,
so the absence of the new macros for other arches doesn't break anything
that wasn't already broken. amd64's have uncommitted support for
GUPROF, and sparc64's have support that seems to be complete except
here (there was an #error for non-i386 cases; now there are undefined
macros).

Changed the asms a little:
- declare them as __volatile. They must not be moved, and exporting a
label across asms is technically incorrect, so try harder to stop gcc
moving them.
- don't put the non-clobbered register "bx" in the clobber list. The
clobber lists are still more conservative than necessary.
- drop the non-support for gcc-1. It just gave a better error message,
and this is not useful since compiling with gcc-1 would cause thousands
of worse error messages.
- drop the support for aout.

# 0dbb100b 26-Jan-2003 David Xu <davidxu@FreeBSD.org>

Move UPCALL related data structure out of kse, introduce a new
data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.

A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.

Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.

Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.

KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.

When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.

The code hasn't been tested under SMP by author due to lack of hardware.

Modify the critical section API as follows:
- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
to nesting level 0. This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
cpu_critical_enter/exit. MI code such as device drivers and spin
mutexes use the MI wrappers. Note that since the MI wrappers store
the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().

- Use u_int's to store the tick counts for profiling purposes so that we
do not need sched_lock just to read p_sticks. This also closes a
problem where the call to addupc_task() could screw up the arithmetic
due to non-atomic reads of p_sticks.
- Axe need_proftick(), aston(), astoff(), astpending(), need_resched(),
clear_resched(), and resched_wanted() in favor of direct bit operations
on p_sflag.
- Fix up locking with sched_lock some. In addupc_intr(), use sched_lock
to ensure pr_addr and pr_ticks are updated atomically with setting
PS_OWEUPC. In ast() we clear pr_ticks atomically with clearing
PS_OWEUPC. We also do not grab the lock just to test a flag.
- Simplify the handling of Giant in ast() slightly.

# 9ed346ba 08-Feb-2001 Bosko Milekic <bmilekic@FreeBSD.org>

Change and clean the mutex lock interface.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).

# 36e9f877 28-Mar-2000 Matthew Dillon <dillon@FreeBSD.org>

Commit major SMP cleanups and move the BGL (big giant lock) in the
syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).

A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.

Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.

This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.

This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

Fixed profiling of elf kernels. Made high resolution profiling compile
for elf kernels (it is broken for all kernels due to lack of egcs support).

Renaming of many assembler labels is avoided by declaring by declaring
the labels that need to be visible to gprof as having type "function"
and depending on the elf version of gprof being zealous about discarding
the others. A few type declarations are still missing, mainly for SMP.

# d6b9e17e 17-Oct-1996 Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>

Improved non-statistical (GUPROF) profiling:
- use a more accurate and more efficient method of compensating for
overheads. The old method counted too much time against leaf
functions.
- normally use the Pentium timestamp counter if available.
On Pentiums, the times are now accurate to within a couple of cpu
clock cycles per function call in the (unlikely) event that there
are no cache misses in or caused by the profiling code.
- optionally use an arbitrary Pentium event counter if available.
- optionally regress to using the i8254 counter.
- scaled the i8254 counter by a factor of 128. Now the i8254 counters
overflow slightly faster than the TSC counters for a 150MHz Pentium :-)
(after about 16 seconds). This is to avoid fractional overheads.

files.i386:
permon.c temporarily has to be classified as a profiling-routine
because a couple of functions in it may be called from profiling code.

options.i386:
- I586_CTR_GUPROF is currently unused (oops).
- I586_PMC_GUPROF should be something like 0x70000 to enable (but not
use unless prof_machdep.c is changed) support for Pentium event
counters. 7 is a control mode and the counter number 0 is somewhere
in the 0000 bits (see perfmon.h for the encoding).

profile.h:
- added declarations.
- cleaned up separation of user mode declarations.

prof_machdep.c:
Mostly clock-select changes. The default clock can be changed by
editing kmem. There should be a sysctl for this.

subr_prof.c:
- added copyright.
- calibrate overheads for the new method.
- documented new method.
- fixed races and and machine dependencies in start/stop code.

mcount.c:
Use the new overhead compensation method.

gmon.h:
- changed GPROF4 counter type from unsigned to int. Oops, this should
be machine-dependent and/or int32_t.
- reorganized overhead counters.

Import 4.4BSD-Lite2 onto the vendor branch, note that in the kernel, all
files are off the vendor branch, so this should not change anything.

A "U" marker generally means that the file was not changed in between

means that there was a change.

# 912e6037 29-Dec-1995 Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>

Implemented non-statistical kernel profiling. This is based on
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches. The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.

gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes. Does anyone
disagree?

gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header. This
hack will do until then. (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)

config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.

kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'. `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.


# 037d027c 25-Dec-1995 Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>

Unstaticized addupc_task(). It is supposed to be called from trap().
See the comments for addupc_intr() and the NetBSD implementation.
We use dummy versions of fuswintr() and susiwintr(), so addupc_intr()
always pushes the work to trap() (this is inefficient), and trap()
calls the special i386 function addupc() instead of addupc_task().
addupc() is more efficient than addupc_intr(), so some of the lost
efficiency is recovered. However, addupc() may be broken on plain
i386's since it doesn't check for write permission like copyout().
