when testing in qemu, launching each ap became slower and slower
because all the ap's where spinning in syncclock() waiting for
cpu0 to update its mach0->tscticks, which happens only much later
after all cpu's have been started up.
now we wait for each cpu to do its timer callibration and
manually update our tscticks while we wait and each cpu will
not spin but halt while waiting for active.thunderbirdsarego.
this reduces the system load and noise for timer callibration
and makes the mp startup linear with regard to the number of
cores.
mpshutdown() used to call acpireset() making it impossible to build
a kernel without archacpi. now, mpshutdown() is a helper function
that only shuts down the application processors that gets used from
mpreset() and acpireset().
the generic machine reset code in exported by devarch's archreset()
function that is called by mpreset() and from acpireset() as a fallback.
so the code duplication that was in mpshutdown() is avoided.
- shorten cpuidprnt so it doesnt have to break line
- addarchfile: complain when running out of entries
- fix range check in rmemrw() (harmless)
- use nil instead of 0 for pointers
to make it possible to mark the bootscreen framebuffer
as write combining in early initialization, mtrr() is
changed not not to error() but to return an error string.
as bootscreen() is used before multiprocessor initialization,
we have to synchronize the mtrr's for every processor as
it comes online. for this, a new mtrrsync() function is
provided that is called from cpuidentify() if mtrr support
is indicated.
the boot processor runs mtrrsync() which snarfs the
registers. later, mtrrsync() is run again from the
application processors which apply the values from the
boot processor.
checkmtrr() from mp.c was removed as its task is also
done by mtrrsync() now.
in devproc status read handler the p->status, p->text and p->user
could overflow the local statbuf buffer as they where copied into
it with code like: memmove(statbuf+someoff, p->text, strlen(p->text)).
now using readstr() which will truncate if the string is too long.
make strncpy() usage consistent, make sure results are always null
terminated.
