The idea is that when we reboot, we zero out
memory written by processes that have the private
flag set (such as factotum and keyfs), and also
clear the secrmem pool, which contains TLS keys
and the state of the random number generator.
This is so the newly booted kernel or firmware
will not find these secret keys in memory.
|
|
procs come from the dynamic pools, so we don't need
to remove the memory used by possible procs from the
total available.
|
|
Treallocate the small data structures around procs eagerly,
but use malloc to allocate the large proc data structures
when we need them, which allows us to scale to many more procs.
There are still many scalability bottlenecks, so we only crank
up the nproc limit by a little bit this time around, and crank
it up more as we optimize more.

replace machine specific userinit() by a portable
implemntation that uses kproc() to create the first
process. the initcode text is mapped using kmap(),
so there is no need for machine specific tmpmap()
functions.
initcode stack preparation should be done in init0()
where the stack is mapped and can be accessed directly.
replacing the machine specific userinit() allows some
big simplifications as sysrfork() and kproc() are now
the only callers of newproc() and we can avoid initializing
fields that we know are being initialized by these
callers.
rename autogenerated init.h and reboot.h headers.
the initcode[] and rebootcode[] blobs are now in *.i
files and hex generation was moved to portmkfile. the
machine specific mkfile only needs to specify how to
build rebootcode.out and initcode.out.

the new raspberry pi 4 firmware for arm64 seems to have
broken atag support. so we now parse the device tree
structure to get the bootargs and memory configuration.
|
|
parsing cmdline
we override atag memory on reboot, so preserve
the memsize learned from atag as *maxmem plan9
variable. the global memsize variable is not
needed anymore.
avoid trashing the following atag when zero
terminating the cmdline string.
zero memory after plan9.ini variables.

handling
|
|
|
|
- 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

cpus on pc64
|
|
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.

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.

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.

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.
