9e01a83636 SMP - reduced TLB flushing
- flush TLB of processes only if the page tables has been changed and
  the page tables of this process are already loaded on this cpu which
  means that there might be stale entries in TLB. Until now SMP was
  always flushing TLB to make sure everything is consistent.

a1eefc013e single shot timer interrupts fix
- accidentaly this wasn't part of the SMP merge and the implementation
  remained uncomplete with the timer keeping ticking periodically

- APIC timer is set for a signel shot and restarted everytime it
  expires. This way we can keep the AP's trully idle

- the timer is restarted a little later before leaving to userspace

- LAPIC_TIMER_ICR is written before LAPIC_LVTTR so the newest value is
  used

  once every 100 times, similarly for the spurious PIC interrupts

1786291e32 Watchdog and kernel profiling for AMD
- a different set of MSRs and performance counters is used on AMD

- when initializing NMI watchdog the test for Intel architecture
  performance counters feature only applies to Intel now

- NMI is enabled if the CPU belongs to a family which has the
  performance counters that we use

8eece1c00c CPU type detection
- sometimes the system needs to know precisely on what type of cpu is
  running. The cpu type id detected during arch specific
  initialization and kept in the machine structure for later use.

- as a side-effect the information is exported to userland

ef92583c3a Busy idle loop when profiling
- the Intel architecture cycle counter (performance counter) does not
  count when the CPU is idle therefore we use busy loop instead of
  halting the cpu when there is nothing to schedule

- the downside is that handling interrupts may be accounted as idle
  time if a sample is taken before we get out of the nested trap and
  pick a new process

e63b85a50b NMI sampling
- if profile --nmi kernel uses NMI watchdog based sampling based on
  Intel architecture performance counters

- using NMI makes kernel profiling possible

- watchdog kernel lockup detection is disabled while sampling as we
  may get unpredictable interrupts in kernel and thus possibly many
  false positives

- if watchdog is not enabled at boot time, profiling enables it and
  turns it of again when done

a665ae3de1 Userspace scheduling - exporting stats
- contributed by Bjorn Swift

- adds process accounting, for example counting the number of messages
  sent, how often the process was preemted and how much time it spent
  in the run queue. These statistics, along with the current cpu load,
  are sent back to the user-space scheduler in the Out Of Quantum
  message.

- the user-space scheduler may choose to make use of these statistics
  when making scheduling decisions. For isntance the cpu load becomes
  especially useful when scheduling on multiple cores.

1f89845bb2 SMP - can boot even if some cpus fail to boot
- EBADCPU is returned is scheduler tries to run a process on a CPU
  that either does not exist or isn't booted

- this change was originally meant to deal with stupid cpuid
  instruction which provides totally useless information about
  hyper-threading and MPS which does not deal with ht at all. ACPI
  provides correct information. If ht is turned off it looks like some
  CPUs failed to boot.  Nevertheless this patch may be handy for
  testing/benchmarking in the future.

0ac9b6d4cf SMP - trully idle APs
- any cpu can use smp_schedule() to tell another cpu to reschedule

- if an AP is idle, it turns off timer as there is nothing to
  preempt, no need to wakeup just to go back to sleep again

- if a cpu makes a process runnable on an idle cpu, it must wake it up
  to reschedule

c554aef0e1 SMP - BKL statistics
- pressing 'B' on the serial cnsole prints statistics for BKL per cpu.

- 'b' resets the counters

- it presents number of cycles each CPU spends in kernel, how many
  cycyles it spends spinning while waiting for the BKL

- it shows optimistic estimation in how many cases we get the lock
  immediately without spinning. As the test is not atomic the lock may
  be already held by some other cpu before we actually try to acquire
  it.

6aa26565e6 SMP - Big kernel lock (BKL)
- to isolate execution inside kernel we use a big kernel lock
  implemented as a spinlock

- the lock is acquired asap after entering kernel mode and released as
  late as possible. Only one CPU as a time can execute the core kernel
  code

- measurement son real hw show that the overhead of this lock is close
  to 0% of kernel time for the currnet system

- the overhead of this lock may be as high as 45% of kernel time in
  virtual machines depending on the ratio between physical CPUs
  available and emulated CPUs. The performance degradation is
  significant

62c666566e SMP - We boot APs
- kernel detects CPUs by searching ACPI tables for local apic nodes

- each CPU has its own TSS that points to its own stack. All cpus boot
  on the same boot stack (in sequence) but switch to its private stack
  as soon as they can.

- final booting code in main() placed in bsp_finish_booting() which is
  executed only after the BSP switches to its final stack

- apic functions to send startup interrupts

- assembler functions to handle CPU features not needed for single cpu
  mode like memory barries, HT detection etc.

- new files kernel/smp.[ch], kernel/arch/i386/arch_smp.c and
  kernel/arch/i386/include/arch_smp.h

- 16-bit trampoline code for the APs. It is executed by each AP after
  receiving startup IPIs it brings up the CPUs to 32bit mode and let
  them spin in an infinite loop so they don't do any damage.

- implementation of kernel spinlock

13a0d5fa5e SMP - Cpu local variables
- most global variables carry information which is specific to the
  local CPU and each CPU must have its own copy

- cpu local variable must be declared in cpulocal.h between
  DECLARE_CPULOCAL_START and DECLARE_CPULOCAL_END markers using
  DECLARE_CPULOCAL macro

- to access the cpu local data the provided macros must be used

	get_cpu_var(cpu, name)
	get_cpu_var_ptr(cpu, name)

	get_cpulocal_var(name)
	get_cpulocal_var_ptr(name)

- using this macros makes future changes in the implementation
  possible

- switching to ELF will make the declaration of cpu local data much
  simpler, e.g.

  CPULOCAL int blah;

cbc9586c13 Lazy FPU
- FPU context is stored only if conflict between 2 FPU users or while
  exporting context of a process to userspace while it is the active
  user of FPU

- FPU has its owner (fpu_owner) which points to the process whose
  state is currently loaded in FPU

- the FPU exception is only turned on when scheduling a process which
  is not the owner of FPU

- FPU state is restored for the process that generated the FPU
  exception. This process runs immediately without letting scheduler
  to pick a new process to resolve the FPU conflict asap, to minimize
  the FPU thrashing and FPU exception hadler execution

- faster all non-FPU-exception kernel entries as FPU state is not
  checked nor saved

- removed MF_USED_FPU flag, only MF_FPU_INITIALIZED remains to signal
  that a process has used FPU in the past

2f892aca91 kernel fpu context switching: fix race condition
There seems to have been a broken assumption in the fpu context
restoring code.  It restores the context of the running process, without
guarantee that the current process is the one that will be scheduled.
This caused fpu saving for a different process to be triggered without
fpu hardware being enabled, causing an fpu exception in the kernel. This
practically only shows up with DEBUG_RACE on. Fix my thruby+me.

The fix
 . is to only set the fpu-in-use-by-this-process flag in the
   exception handler, and then take care of fpu restoring when
   actually returning to userspace

And the patch
 . translates fpu saving and restoring to c in arch_system.c,
   getting rid of a juicy chunk of assembly
 . makes osfxsr_feature private to arch_system.c
 . removes most of the arch dependent code from do_sigsend

451a6890d6 scheduling - time quantum in miliseconds
- Currently the cpu time quantum is timer-ticks based. Thus the
  remaining quantum is decreased only if the processes is interrupted
  by a timer tick. As processes block a lot this typically does not
  happen for normal user processes. Also the quantum depends on the
  frequency of the timer.

- This change makes the quantum miliseconds based. Internally the
  miliseconds are translated into cpu cycles. Everytime userspace
  execution is interrupted by kernel the cycles just consumed by the
  current process are deducted from the remaining quantum.

- It makes the quantum system timer frequency independent.

- The boot processes quantum is loosely derived from the tick-based
  quantas and 60Hz timer and subject to future change

- the 64bit arithmetics is a little ugly, will be changes once we have
  compiler support for 64bit integers (soon)

The change also contains some other minor cleanup (a new serial.h to set
register info common to UART and the OXPCIe card, in-kernel memory
mapping a little more structured and env_get() to get sysenv variables
without knowing about the params_buffer).

b90c2d7026 rename of mode/context switching functions
- this patch only renames schedcheck() to switch_to_user(),
  cycles_accounting_stop() to context_stop() and restart() to
  +restore_user_context()

- the motivation is that since the introduction of schedcheck() it has
  been abused for many things. It deserves a better name.  It should
  express the fact that from the moment we call the function we are in
  the process of switching to user.

- cycles_accounting_stop() was originally a single purpose function.
  As this function is called at were convenient places it is used in
  for other things too, e.g. (un)locking the kernel. Thus it deserves
  a better name too.

- using the old name, restart() does not call schedcheck(), however
  calls to restart are replaced by calls to schedcheck()
  [switch_to_user] and it calls restart() [restore_user_context]

57a88ce708 debugging - printing processes on serial
- this patch moves the former printslot() from arch_system.c to
  debug.c and reimplements it slightly. The output is not changed,
  however, the process information is printed in a separate function
  print_proc() in debug.c as such a function is also handy in other
  situations and should be publicly available when debugging.

c37401f23f kernel: fpu init to separate function; also move fpu init down
moving the fpu code causes exceptions raised by it to be trapped
neatly instead of causing a triple fault, before the IDT is initialized.

f51eea4b32 Changed pagefault delivery to VM
this patch changes the way pagefaults are delivered to VM. It adopts
the same model as the out-of-quantum messages sent by kernel to a
scheduler.

- everytime a userspace pagefault occurs, kernel creates a message
  which is sent to VM on behalf of the faulting process

- the process is blocked on delivery to VM in the standard IPC code
  instead of waiting in a spacial in-kernel queue (stack) and is not
  runnable until VM tell kernel that the pagefault is resolved and is
  free to clear the RTS_PAGEFAULT flag.

- VM does not need call kernel and poll the pagefault information
  which saves many (1/2?) calls and kernel calls that return "no more
  data"

- VM notification by kernel does not need to use signals

- each entry in proc table is by 12 bytes smaller (~3k save)
