Cleanup by moving MD prototypes to

like we have on other platforms. Move savectx() to . A lot of files got these MD prototypes through the indirect inclusion of and now need to include . The number of which is unexpectedly large... osf1_misc.c especially is tricky because szsigcode is redefined in one of the osf1 header files. Reordering of the include files was needed. linprocfs.c now needs an explicit extern declaration. Tested with: LINT

Further cleanup and : move the MI

prototypes of cpu_halt(), cpu_reset() and swi_vm() from md_var.h to cpu.h. This affects db_command.c and kern_shutdown.c. ia64: move all MD prototypes from cpu.h to md_var.h. This affects madt.c, interrupt.c and mp_machdep.c. Remove is_physical_memory(). It's not used (vm_machdep.c). alpha: the MD prototypes have been left in cpu.h with a comment that they should be there. Moving them is left for later. It was expected that the impact would be significant enough to be done in a seperate commit. powerpc: MD prototypes left in cpu.h. Comment added. Suggested by: bde Tested with: make universe (pc98 incomplete)

Add getcontext, setcontext, and swapcontext as system calls.

Previously these were libc functions but were requested to be made into system calls for atomicity and to coalesce what might be two entrances into the kernel (signal mask setting and floating point trap) into one. A few style nits and comments from bde are also included. Tested on alpha by: gallatin

CPU_MAXID should

Remove __P(). This was tested on the GENERIC kernel.

KSE Milestone 2

2001-09-12T08:38:13Z

Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time). This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except that there is a thread associated with each process. Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

the process of exiting the kernel. The ast() function now loops as long as the PS_ASTPENDING or PS_NEEDRESCHED flags are set. It returns with preemption disabled so that any further AST's that arrive via an interrupt will be delayed until the low-level MD code returns to user mode. - 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. Reviewed by: bde (mostly)

Move ast() and userret() to sys/kern/subr_trap.c now that they are MI.

Overhaul of the SMP code. Several portions of the SMP kernel support have

2001-04-27T19:28:25Z

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
