Stage-2 commit of the critical*() code. This re-inlines cpu_critical_enter()

and cpu_critical_exit() and moves associated critical prototypes into their own header file, //critical.h, which is only included by the three MI source files that need it. Backout and re-apply improperly comitted syntactical cleanups made to files that were still under active development. Backout improperly comitted program structure changes that moved localized declarations to the top of two procedures. Partially re-apply one of the program structure changes to move 'mask' into an intermediate block rather then in three separate sub-blocks to make the code more readable. Re-integrate bug fixes that Jake made to the sparc64 code. Note: In general, developers should not gratuitously move declarations out of sub-blocks. They are where they are for reasons of structure, grouping, readability, compiler-localizability, and to avoid developer-introduced bugs similar to several found in recent years in the VFS and VM code.

Compromise for critical()/cpu_critical() recommit. Cleanup the interrupt

disablement assumptions in kern_fork.c by adding another API call, cpu_critical_fork_exit(). Cleanup the td_savecrit field by moving it from MI to MD. Temporarily move cpu_critical*() from /include/cpufunc.h to //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. This should be temporary. Reviewed by: core Approved by: core

Fix abuses of cpu_critical_{enter,exit} by converting to

intr_{disable,restore} as well as providing an implemenation of intr_{disable,restore}.

Modify the critical section API as follows:

2001-12-18T00:27:18Z

- 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

Block out all interrupts, even machine checks, for critical_enter()

Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights

include: * Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.) * Per-CPU idle processes. * Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be preempted (i386 only). Partially contributed by: BSDi (BSD/OS) Submissions by (at least): cp, dfr, dillon, grog, jake, jhb, sheldonh

* Completely rewrite the alpha busspace to hide the implementation from

the drivers. * Remove legacy inx/outx support from chipset and replace with macros which call busspace. * Rework pci config accesses to route through the pcib device instead of calling a MD function directly. With these changes it is possible to cleanly support machines which have more than one independantly numbered PCI busses. As a bonus, the new busspace implementation should be measurably faster than the old one.
