* Remove the ia64 hackery in threadinit() that was needed to work aroundmarcel2003-06-011-14/+0
| | | | | | | the lameness of the kstack code. The EPC overhaul de-lame-ified the kstack code by removing the need for contigmalloc(). We can now allocate stacks using malloc(). We probably want to make the stacks swappable as well so that we can make it MI. But that's another story.

* Revamp of the syscall path, exception and context handling. Themarcel2003-05-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | prime objectives are: o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s). o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see sys/ia64/include/_regset.h). Secundairy objectives: o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks. o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems. o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics. o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx) Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils down to: o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack. This affects libc and truss. o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler. The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts. The renaming affects libkvm. o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger. o Context switching only partly saves the special registers and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally affects cpu_throw(). o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects trap(). o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still unimplemented. Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore(). The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use. Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are still not fully understood. This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all. Approved by: re@ (jhb)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | syscall return values should be cleared. The system calls getcontext() and swapcontext() want to return 0 on success but these contexts can be switched to at a later time so the return values need to be cleared in the saved register sets. Other callers of get_mcontext() would normally want the context without clearing the return values. Remove the i386-specific context saving from the KSE code. get_mcontext() is not i386-specific any more. Fix a bad pointer in the alpha get_mcontext() code. The context was being bcopy()'d from &td->tf_frame, but tf_frame is itself a pointer, so the thread was being copied instead. Spotted by jake. Glanced at by: jake Reviewed by: bde (months ago)

* Introduce two flags to control upcall behaviour:davidxu2003-04-211-51/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o KMF_NOUPCALL Ask kse_release to not return to userland upcall entry, but instead direct returns to userland by using current thread's stack and return address on stack. This flags is intended to be used by UTS in critical region to wait another UTS thread to leave critical region, by using kse_release with this flag to avoid spinnng and burning CPU. Also this flags can be used by UTS to poll completed context when there is nothing to do in userland and needn't restart from its entry like normal upcall. o KMF_NOCOMPLETED Ask kernel to not bring completed thread contexts back to userland when doing upcall, this flags is intend to be used with above flag when an upcall thread is in critical region and can not process completed contexts at that time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as it could be and can do with some more cleanup. Currently its under options LAZY_SWITCH. What this does is avoid %cr3 reloads for short context switches that do not involve another user process. ie: we can take an interrupt, switch to a kthread and return to the user without explicitly flushing the tlb. However, this isn't as exciting as it could be, the interrupt overhead is still high and too much blocks on Giant still. There are some debug sysctls, for stats and for an on/off switch. The main problem with doing this has been "what if the process that you're running on exits while we're borrowing its address space?" - in this case we use an IPI to give it a kick when we're about to reclaim the pmap. Its not compiled in unless you add the LAZY_SWITCH option. I want to fix a few more things and get some more feedback before turning it on by default. This is NOT a replacement for Bosko's lazy interrupt stuff. This was more meant for the kthread case, while his was for interrupts. Mine helps a little for interrupts, but his helps a lot more. The stats are enabled with options SWTCH_OPTIM_STATS - this has been a pseudo-option for years, I just added a bunch of stuff to it. One non-trivial change was to select a new thread before calling cpu_switch() in the first place. This allows us to catch the silly case of doing a cpu_switch() to the current process. This happens uncomfortably often. This simplifies a bit of the asm code in cpu_switch (no longer have to call choosethread() in the middle). This has been implemented on i386 and (thanks to jake) sparc64. The others will come soon. This is actually seperate to the lazy switch stuff. Glanced at by: jake, jhb
