* Handle spurious page faults that may occur in no-fault sections of thealc2012-03-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kernel. When access restrictions are added to a page table entry, we flush the corresponding virtual address mapping from the TLB. In contrast, when access restrictions are removed from a page table entry, we do not flush the virtual address mapping from the TLB. This is exactly as recommended in AMD's documentation. In effect, when access restrictions are removed from a page table entry, AMD's MMUs will transparently refresh a stale TLB entry. In short, this saves us from having to perform potentially costly TLB flushes. In contrast, Intel's MMUs are allowed to generate a spurious page fault based upon the stale TLB entry. Usually, such spurious page faults are handled by vm_fault() without incident. However, when we are executing no-fault sections of the kernel, we are not allowed to execute vm_fault(). This change introduces special-case handling for spurious page faults that occur in no-fault sections of the kernel. In collaboration with: kib Tested by: gibbs (an earlier version) I would also like to acknowledge Hiroki Sato's assistance in diagnosing this problem. MFC after: 1 week

* Reorganize syscall entry and leave handling.kib2010-05-231-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Divorce critical sections from spinlocks. Critical sections as denoted byjhb2005-04-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the common case. Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter() and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example, critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows in order to perform the initial context switch. This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes for per-CPU data for example).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to attempt to get a stable base to start from. There is a lot missing still. Worth noting: - The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code. pmap uses a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4 levels of page tables yet. - It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the i386 loader. This simplifies locore.s greatly. - There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C versions of (bcopy etc). - It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction for syscalls. int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not. - I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed %rcx register in the syscall instruction). As a result, there is not a lot of similarity. I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.

Temporarily move cpu_critical*() from <arch>/include/cpufunc.h to <arch>/<arch>/critical.c (stage-2 will clean this up). Implement interrupt deferral for i386 that allows interrupts to remain enabled inside critical sections. This also fixes an IPI interlock bug, and requires uses of icu_lock to be enclosed in a true interrupt disablement. This is the stage-1 commit. Stage-2 will occur after stage-1 has stabilized, and will move cpu_critical*() into its own header file(s) + other things. This commit may break non-i386 architectures in trivial ways.

* Overhaul the per-CPU support a bit:jhb2001-12-111-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - The MI portions of struct globaldata have been consolidated into a MI struct pcpu. The MD per-CPU data are specified via a macro defined in machine/pcpu.h. A macro was chosen over a struct mdpcpu so that the interface would be cleaner (PCPU_GET(my_md_field) vs. PCPU_GET(md.md_my_md_field)). - All references to globaldata are changed to pcpu instead. In a UP kernel, this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name came from. In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each CPU outside of the context of debuggers. This also included combining machine/globaldata.h and machine/globals.h into machine/pcpu.h. - The pointer to the thread using the FPU on i386 was renamed from npxthread to fpcurthread to be identical with other architectures. - Make the show pcpu ddb command MI with a MD callout to display MD fields. - The globaldata_register() function was renamed to pcpu_init() and now init's MI fields of a struct pcpu in addition to registering it with the internal array and list. - A pcpu_destroy() function was added to remove a struct pcpu from the internal array and list.
