* - Create a new scheduler api that is defined in sys/sched.hjeff2002-10-121-2/+3

* Some kernel threads try to do significant work, and the default KSTACK_PAGESscottl2002-10-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | doesn't give them enough stack to do much before blowing away the pcb. This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create. Passing the value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created. Note that the ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written due to the pmap.c being incomplete there. Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates. Reviewed by: jake, peter, jhb

* Thinking about it I came to the conclusion that the KSE states were incorrectlyjulian2002-07-141-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | formulated. The correct states should be: IDLE: On the idle KSE list for that KSEG RUNQ: Linked onto the system run queue. THREAD: Attached to a thread and slaved to whatever state the thread is in. This means that most places where we were adjusting kse state can go away as it is just moving around because the thread is.. The only places we need to adjust the KSE state is in transition to and from the idle and run queues. Reviewed by: jhb@freebsd.org

* Pre-KSE/M3 commit.julian2002-02-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main thread of a process via the linked list of threads rather than assuming that it is embedded in the process. It IS still embeded there but remove all teh code that assumes that in preparation for the next commit which will actually move it out.

* Modify the critical section API as follows:jhb2001-12-181-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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(). Tested on: i386, alpha
* Overhaul the per-CPU support a bit:jhb2001-12-111-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.

* Overhaul of the SMP code. Several portions of the SMP kernel support havejhb2001-04-271-11/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made to support Alpha SMP. - It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock() and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha 4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process() functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the *_process() functions. - forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked around. - need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to implement forward_roundrobin() as described above. - Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's. The IPI API's from machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h. - The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c. Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in. Reviewed by: jake, peter Looked over by: eivind
* Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly.jake2001-02-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - All processes go into the same array of queues, with different scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into interrupt thread range if need be. - I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than 32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels. - The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in the global run queue structure. - Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority. - Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI). - Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc. This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt. - Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class. - Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant and then other processes would try to propogate their priority onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle. vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm system. - Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

* Change and clean the mutex lock interface.bmilekic2001-02-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Contributors: jake, jhb, jasone (in no particular order)
