Currently, Application Processors (non-boot CPUs) are started by
MD code at SI_SUB_CPU, but they are kept waiting in a "pen" until
SI_SUB_SMP at which point they are released to run kernel threads.
SI_SUB_SMP is one of the last SYSINIT levels, so APs don't enter
the scheduler and start running threads until fairly late in the
boot.
This change moves SI_SUB_SMP up to just before software interrupt
threads are created allowing the APs to start executing kernel
threads much sooner (before any devices are probed). This allows
several initialization routines that need to perform initialization
on all CPUs to now perform that initialization in one step rather
than having to defer the AP initialization to a second SYSINIT run
at SI_SUB_SMP. It also permits all CPUs to be available for
handling interrupts before any devices are probed.
This last feature fixes a problem on with interrupt vector exhaustion.
Specifically, in the old model all device interrupts were routed
onto the boot CPU during boot. Later after the APs were released at
SI_SUB_SMP, interrupts were redistributed across all CPUs.
However, several drivers for multiqueue hardware allocate N interrupts
per CPU in the system. In a system with many CPUs, just a few drivers
doing this could exhaust the available pool of interrupt vectors on
the boot CPU as each driver was allocating N * mp_ncpu vectors on the
boot CPU. Now, drivers will allocate interrupts on their desired CPUs
during boot meaning that only N interrupts are allocated from the boot
CPU instead of N * mp_ncpu.
Some other bits of code can also be simplified as smp_started is
now true much earlier and will now always be true for these bits of
code. This removes the need to treat the single-CPU boot environment
as a special case.
As a transition aid, the new behavior is available under a new kernel
option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option to be turned off
if need be during initial testing. I plan to enable this on x86 by
default in a followup commit in the next few days and to have all
platforms moved over before 11.0. Once the transition is complete,
the option will be removed along with the !EARLY_AP_STARTUP code.
These changes have only been tested on x86. Other platform maintainers
are encouraged to port their architectures over as well. The main
things to check for are any uses of smp_started in MD code that can be
simplified and SI_SUB_SMP SYSINITs in MD code that can be removed in
the EARLY_AP_STARTUP case (e.g. the interrupt shuffling).

Currently this argument is a pointer into the stack which is used by FBT
to fetch the first five probe arguments. On all non-x86 architectures it's
simply the trapframe address, so this change has no functional impact. On
amd64 it's a pointer into the trapframe such that stack[1 .. 5] gives the
first five argument registers, which are deliberately grouped together in
the amd64 trapframe definition.
A trapframe argument simplifies the invop handlers on !x86 and makes the
x86 FBT invop handler easier to understand. Moreover, it allows for invop
handlers that may want to modify the register set of the interrupted thread.

It's redundant at the moment since it can be obtained from the trapframe
on the architectures where DTrace is supported, but this won't be the case
with ARM.

the upstream implementation and helps ensure that a trap induced by tracing
fbt::trap:entry is handled without recursively generating another trap.
This makes it possible to run most (but not all) of the DTrace tests under
common/safety/ without triggering a kernel panic.

- Implement dtrace_getarg()
- Sync fbt with x86, and fix a typo.
- Pull in the time synchronization code from amd64.

much of which is not necessary for PowerPC.
The FBT module can likely be factored into 3 separate files: common,
intel, and powerpc, rather than duplicating most of the code between
the x86 and PowerPC flavors.
All DTrace modules for PowerPC will be MFC'd together once Fasttrap is
completed.

There is one known issue: Some probes will display an error message along the
lines of: "Invalid address (0)"
I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different
binaries on 32-bit. I only compiled 64-bit, did not run it, but I don't expect
problems without the modules loaded. Volunteers are welcome.
