segclock() has to be called from hzclock(), otherwise
only processes running on cpu0 would catche the interrupt
and the time delta would be wrong.
lock the segment when allocating Seg->profile as
profile ctl might be issued from multiple processes.
Proc->debug qlock is not sufficient.
Seg->profile can never be freed or reallocated once
set as the timer interrupt accesses it without any
locking.
instead of having application processors spin in mpshutdown()
with mmu on, and be subject to reboot() overriding kernel text
and modifying page tables, park the application processors in
rebootcode idle loop with the mmu off.
linux will send small, unpadded arp packets which may arrive over
wifi, so allow small packets into the bridge and pad any packets that
are too small when going out.
coproc.c generated the instrucitons anew each time,
requiering a i+d cache flush for each operation.
instead, we can speed this up like this:
given that the coprocessor registers are per cpu, we can
assume that interrupts have already been disabled by
the caller to prevent a process switch to another cpu.
we cache the instructions generated in a static append
only buffer and maintain separate end pointers for each
cpu.
the cache flushes only need to be done when new
operations have been added to the buffer.

* Prevent the following scenario:
* pX sleeps on cpuA, leaving its page tables in mmul1
* pX wakes up on cpuB, and exits, freeing its page tables
* pY on cpuB allocates a freed page table page and overwrites with data
* cpuA takes an interrupt, and is now running with bad page tables
* In theory this shouldn't hurt because only user address space tables
* are affected, and mmuswitch will clear mmul1 before a user process is

* resetting of the core clock at 0x4000001C which confuses local timers.

- clean dcache before turning off caches and mmu (rebootcode.s)
- use WFE and inter-core mailboxes for cpu startup (rebootcode.s)
- disable SMP during dcache invalidation before enabling caches and mmu (in armv7.s)
- synchronize rebootcode installation
- handle the 1MB identity map in mmu.c (mmuinit1())
- do not overlap CONFADDR with rebootcode, the non boot
processors are parked there.
- make REBOOTADDR physical address
- disable local clock on interrupt to prevent accidents when reenabling
- always regitster local clock interrupt handler, even for cpu0
- simplify microdelay()
- don't mess with watchdog
when clering smi enable bits in the legacy control/status register,
preserve the reserved bits. clear the RW1C bits.
linux code claims intel xhci controller needs a 1ms delay before
accessing any register after reset.
pcienable() puts a device in fully powered on state
and does some missing initialization that UEFI might
have skipped such as I/O and Memory requests being
disabled.
pcidisable() is ment to shutdown the device, but
currently just disables dma to prevent accidents.
on Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro XE00T1C-A01CL, the EHCI handoff
causes the system to freeze in UEFI mode as soon as we assert
the os semaphore bit.
until a general solution is found, provide these parameters to
disable the handoff for now as it seems to otherwise work fine.
when a prefix is added with the onlink flag clear, packets
towards that prefix needs to be send to the default gateway
so we omit adding the interface route.
when the on-link flag gets changed to 1 later, we add the
interface route.
the on-link flag is sticky, so theres no way to clear it back
to zero except removing and re-adding the prefix.
Once a second rebalance() is called on cpu0 to adjust priorities,
so cpu-bound processes won't lock others out. However it was only
adjusting processes which were running on cpu0. This was observed
to lead to livelock, eg when a higher-priority process spin-waits
for a lock held by a lower priority one.
syntax: reboot!bootfile[!method...]
this echos bootfile to /dev/reboot, causing bootfile kernel
to be started.
when method is given, we first connect to the filesystem and
set bootargs so that bootfile can be loaded from the target
network or local fileserver.
note, when no bootfile is given, this causes the kernel to
reboot to bios.
