Complete ovehaul of mode switching code - after a trap to kernel, the code automatically switches to kernel stack, in the future local to the CPU - k_reenter variable replaced by a test whether the CS is kernel cs or not. The information is passed further if needed. Removes a global variable which would need to be cpu local - no need for global variables describing the exception or trap context. This information is kept on stack and a pointer to this structure is passed to the C code as a single structure - removed loadedcr3 variable and its use replaced by reading the %cr3 register - no need to redisable interrupts in restart() as they are already disabled. - unified handling of traps that push and don't push errorcode - removed save() function as the process context is not saved directly to process table but saved as required by the trap code. Essentially it means that save() code is inlined everywhere not only in the exception handling routine - returning from syscall is more arch independent - it sets the retger in C - top of the x86 stack contains the current CPU id and pointer to the currently scheduled process (the one right interrupted) so the mode switch code can find where to save the context without need to use proc_ptr which will be cpu local in the future and therefore difficult to access in assembler and expensive to access in general - some more clean up of level0 code. No need to read-back the argument passed in %eax from the proc structure. The mode switch code does not clobber %the general registers and hence we can just call what is in %eax - many assebly macros in sconst.h as they will be reused by the apic assembly

NMI watchdog is an awesome feature for debugging locked up kernels. There is not that much use for it on a single CPU, however, deadlock between kernel and system task can be delected. Or a runaway loop. If a kernel gets locked up the timer interrupts don't occure (as all interrupts are disabled in kernel mode). The only chance is to interrupt the kernel by a non-maskable interrupt. This patch generates NMIs using performance counters. It uses the most widely available performace counters. As the performance counters are highly model-specific this patch is not guaranteed to work on every machine. Unfortunately this is also true for KVM :-/ On the other hand adding this feature for other models is not extremely difficult and the framework makes it hopefully easy enough. Depending on the frequency of the CPU an NMI is generated at most about every 0.5s If the cpu's speed is less then 2Ghz it is generated at most every 1s. In general an NMI is generated much less often as the performance counter counts down only if the cpu is not idle. Therefore the overhead of this feature is fairly minimal even if the load is high. Uppon detecting that the kernel is locked up the kernel dumps the state of the kernel registers and panics. Local APIC must be enabled for the watchdog to work. The code is _always_ compiled in, however, it is only enabled if watchdog=<non-zero> is set in the boot monitor. One corner case is serial console debugging. As dumping a lot of stuff to the serial link may take a lot of time, the watchdog does not detect lockups during this time!!! as it would result in too many false positives. 10 nmi have to be handled before the lockup is detected. This means something between ~5s to 10s. Another corner case is that the watchdog is enabled only after the paging is enabled as it would be pure madness to try to get it right.
