d37b7ebc0b SMP - CPU local cycles accounting
- tsc_ctr_switch is made cpu local

- although an x86 specific variable it must be declared globaly as the
  cpulocal implementation does not allow otherwise

865e21b884 SMP - CPU local idle stub
- each CPU has its own pseudo idle process and its structure

- idle cycles accounting is agregated when exporting to userspace

fac5fbfdbf SMP - CPU local run queues
- each CPU has its own runqueues

- processes on BSP are put on the runqueues later after a switch to
  the final stack when cpuid works to avoid special cases

- enqueue() and dequeue() use the run queues of the cpu the process is
  assigned to

- pick_proc() uses the local run queues

- printing of per-CPU run queues ('2') on serial console

9b6d66c787 SMP - BSP waits until the APs finish their booting
- APs configure local timers

- while configuring local APIC timer the CPUs fiddle with the interrupt
  handlers. As the interrupt table is shared the BSP must not run

b7aed08e65 SMP - Only a single APIC timer handler
- bsp_timer_int_handler() and ap_timer_int_handler() unified into
  timer_int_handler()

- global realtime updated only on BSP

85cca7096f SMP - The slave CPUs turn paging on
- APs wait until BSP turns paging on, it is not possible to safely
  execute any code on APs until we can turn paging on as well as it
  must be done synchronously everywhere

- APs turn paging on but do not continue and wait

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

a42ab504a0 SMP - Kernel is loaded above 1M by default
- the 16-bit trampoline must be within the first megabyte of physical
  memory thus the smp trampoline is copied explicitly below 1M

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

- CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_MAX_CPUS set by the build system

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;

  anywhere in the kernel source code

e6ebac015d APIC mode uses IO APICs
- kernel turns on IO APICs if no_apic is _not_ set or is equal 0

2440ffae49 Kernel exports DSDP and apic_enabled in machine structure
- kernel exports DSDP (the root pointer where ACPI parsing starts) and
  apic_enabled in the machine structure.

- ACPI driver uses DSDP to locate ACPI in memory. acpi_enabled tell
  PCI driver to query ACPI for IRQ routing information.

45badf4c05 ACPI in kernel
- the ability for kernel to use ACPI tables to detect IO APICs. It is
  the bare minimum the kernel needs to know about ACPI tables.

- it will be used to find out about processors as the MPS tables are
  deprecated by ACPI and not all vendorsprovide them.

360de619c0 No linear addresses in message delivery
- removes p_delivermsg_lin item from the process structure and code
  related to it

- as the send part, the receive does not need to use the
  PHYS_COPY_CATCH() and umap_local() couple.  

- The address space of the target process is installed before
  delivermsg() is called.

- unlike the linear address, the virtual address does not change when
  paging is turned on nor after fork().

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)
