e4283176ae SMP - Force TLB flush before scheduling a process
- this makes sure that each process always run with updated TLB

- this is the simplest way how to achieve the consistency. As it means
  significant performace degradation when not require, this is nto the
  final solution and will be refined

6513d20744 SMP - Process is stopped when VM modifies the page tables
- RTS_VMINHIBIT flag is used to stop process while VM is fiddling with
  its pagetables

- more generic way of sending synchronous scheduling events among cpus

- do the x-cpu smp sched calls only if the target process is runnable.
  If it is not, it cannot be running and it cannot become runnable
  this CPU holds the BKL

906a81a1c7 SMP - runctl() can stop across cpus
- if stopping a process that runs on a different CPU we tell the
  remote cpu to do that

e2701da5a9 SMP - Single shot local timer
- APIC timer always reprogrammed if expired

- timer tick never happens when in kernel => never immediate return
  from userspace to kernel because of a buffered interrupt

- renamed argument to lapic_set_timer_one_shot()

- removed arch_ prefix from timer functions

e87d29171f SMP - Compiles for both single and multi processor again
- this patch adds various fixes as some of the previous patches break
  compilations without CONFIG_SMP being set

454589debd SMP - Print cpu of the process
- adds '4' to print processes assigned to each cpu without printing
  the process it is blocked on (a lightweight '1')

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

311f145bc7 SMP - Balancing run queues for SMP
- it preempts running processes though :( this is not the final
  solution

06b6e5624a SMP - Changed prototype of sys_schedule()
- sys_schedule can change only selected values, -1 means that the
  current value should be kept unchanged. For instance we mostly want
  to change the scheduling quantum and priority but we want to keep
  the process at the current cpu

- RS can hand off its processes to scheduler

- service can read the destination cpu from system.conf

- RS can pass the information farther

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.

93b9873a56 SMP - Free PDE slots are split among CPU
- cross-address space copies use these slots to map user memory for
  kernel. This avoid any collisions between CPUs

- well, we only have a single CPU running at a time, this is just to
  be safe for the future

1e273f640e SMP - Scheduler can assign process to a cpu
- machine information contains the number of cpus and the bsp id

- a dummy SMP scheduler which keeps all system processes on BSP and
  all other process on APs. The scheduler remembers how many processes
  are assigned to each CPU and always picks the one with the least
  processes for a new process.

9e12630d75 SMP - APs are fully enabled
- apic_send_ipi() to send inter-processor interrupts (IPIs)

- APIC IPI schedule and halt handlers to signal x-cpu that a cpu shold
  reschedule or halt

- various little changes to let APs run

- no processes are scheduled at the APs and therefore they are idle
  except being interrupted by a timer time to time

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

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

ad73a4f50c SMP - CPU and CPU mask for processes
- each process has associated information about the cpu it is currently
  scheduled on and the mask of cpus it is allowed to use.

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

b7eb096088 Makefiles: remove -D__minix for assembly invocations.
They seem to be redundant (for gcc+ack+clang) and produce
very messy warnings (for clang, due to it already being defined).
