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.

* 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

- 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
introducing the PFPU structue which allows the machine specific
code some flexibility on how to handle the FPU process state.
for example, in the pc and pc64 kernel, the FPsave structure is
arround 512 bytes. with avx512, it could grow up to 2K. instead
of embedding that into the Proc strucutre, it is more effective
to allocate it on first use of the fpu, as most processes do not
use simd or floating point in the first place. also, the FPsave
structure has special 16 byte alignment constraint, which further
favours dynamic allocation.
this gets rid of the memmoves in pc/pc64 kernels for the aligment.
there is also devproc, which is now checking if the fpsave area
is actually valid before reading it, avoiding debuggers to see
garbage data.
the Notsave structure is gone now, as it was not used on any
machine.
introduce cpushutdown() function that does the common
operation of initiating shutdown, returning once all
cpu's got the message and are about to shutdown. this
avoids duplicated code which isnt really machine specific.
automatic reboot on panic only when *debug= is not set
and the machine is a cpu server or has no display,
otherwise just hang.
sdbio() tests if it can pass the buffer pointer directly to
the driver when it is already in kernel memory. we also need
to check if the buffer is properly aligned but alignment
requirement is handled in system specific sdmalloc() and
was not known to devsd.
to solve this, we *always* page align sd buffers and get rid
of the system specific sdmalloc() macro (was only used in bcm
kernel).
there are no kernels currently that do page coloring,
so the only use of cachectl[] is flushing the icache
(on arm and ppc).
on pc64, cachectl consumes 32 bytes in each page resulting
in over 200 megabytes of overhead for 32gb of ram with 4K
pages.
this change removes cachectl[] and adds txtflush ulong
that is set to ~0 by pio() to instruct putmmu() to flush
the icache.
there is no use for "bootdisk" variable parametrization
of /boot/boot and no point for the boot section with its
boot methods in the kernel configuration anymore. so
mkboot and boot$CONF.out are gone.
move the rules for bootfs.paq creation in 9/boot/bootmkfile.
location of bootfs.proto is now in 9/boot/bootfs.proto.
our /boot/boot target is now just "boot".
the uartmini enable function used to override the baud
register so the effecive baudrate was always set to
115200 baud.
now the default baudrate of 9600 is set correctly and can
be changed in the console= boot parameter.
thanks aap and hiro for debugging, pizza and beer :)
ftrvxmtrx repots devices that use the endpoint number for
input and output of different types like:
nusb/ether: parsedesc endpoint 5[7] 07 05 81 03 08 00 09 # ep1 in intr
nusb/ether: parsedesc endpoint 5[7] 07 05 82 02 00 02 00
nusb/ether: parsedesc endpoint 5[7] 07 05 01 02 00 02 00 # ep1 out bulk
the previous change tried to work arround this but had the
concequence that only the lastly defined endpoint was
usable.
this change addresses the issue by allowing up to 32 endpoints
per device (16 output + 16 input endpoints) in devusb. the
hci driver will ignore the 4th bit and will only use the
lower 4 bits as endpoint address when talking to the usb
device.
when we encounter a conflict, we map the input endpoint
to the upper id range 16..31 and the output endpoint
to id 0..15 so two distinct endpoints are created.
the comment about Physseg.size being in pages is wrong,
change type to uintptr and correct the comment.
change the length parameter of segattach() and isoverlap()
to uintptr as well. segments can grow over 4GB in pc64 now
and globalsegattach() in devsegment calculates len argument
of isoverlap() by s->top - s->bot. note that the syscall
still takes 32bit ulong argument for the length!
check for integer overflow in segattach(), make sure segment
goes not beyond USTKTOP.
change PTEMAPMEM constant to uvlong as it is used to calculate
SEGMAXSIZE.
this simplifies the arm ports and keeps all the stuff in one place
instead of spreading it thru notify(), trap() and syscall() functions
and prevents useless fp state copying for kernel procs.
also make sure to save fp in notify while still splhi().
the software cursor starts flickering and reacts bumby if a process
spends most of its time with drawlock acquired because the timer interrupt
thats supposed to redraw the cursor fails to acquire the lock at the time
the timer fires.
instead of trying to draw the cursor on the screen from a timer interrupt
30 times per second, devmouse now creates a process calling cursoron() and
cursoroff() when the cursor needs to be redrawn. this allows the swcursor
to schedule a redraw while holding the drawlock in swcursoravoid() and
cursoron()/cursoroff() are now able to wait for a qlock (drawlock) because
they get called from process context.
the overall responsiveness is also improved with this change as the cursor
redraw rate isnt limited to 30 times a second anymore.
the kernel uses fixed area (TSTKTOP, TSTKSIZ) of the address
space to temporarily map the new stack segment for exec. for
386 and arm, this area was right below the stack segment which
has the problem that the program can map arbitrary segments
there (even readonly).
alpha and ppc dont have this problem as they map the temporary
exec stack *above* the user reachable stack segement and segattach
prevents one from mapping anything above or overlaping the stack.
lots of arch code assumes USTKTOP being the end of userspace
address space and changing this to TSTKTOP would work, but results
in lots of hard to test changes.
instead, we'r going to map the temporary stack programmatically
finding a hole in the address space where to map it. we also lift
the size limitation for arguments and allow arguments to fill
the whole new stack segement.
the TSTKTOP and TSTKSIZ are not used anymore so they where removed.
