2020-07-06Add support for timeconting in userland.pirofti1-0/+23
This diff exposes parts of clock_gettime(2) and gettimeofday(2) to userland via libc eliberating processes from the need for a context switch everytime they want to count the passage of time. If a timecounter clock can be exposed to userland than it needs to set its tc_user member to a non-zero value. Tested with one or multiple counters per architecture. The timing data is shared through a pointer found in the new ELF auxiliary vector AUX_openbsd_timekeep containing timehands information that is frequently updated by the kernel. Timing differences between the last kernel update and the current time are adjusted in userland by the tc_get_timecount() function inside the MD usertc.c file. This permits a much more responsive environment, quite visible in browsers, office programs and gaming (apparently one is are able to fly in Minecraft now). Tested by robert@, sthen@, naddy@, kmos@, phessler@, and many others! OK from at least kettenis@, cheloha@, naddy@, sthen@

2020-06-05Implement cpu_rnd_messybits() as a read of the cycle counter register.naddy1-2/+6

2020-05-31introduce "cpu_rnd_messybits" for use instead of nanotime in dev/rnd.c.dlg1-1/+3
rnd.c uses nanotime to get access to some bits that change quickly between events that it can mix into the entropy pool. it doesn't use nanotime to get a monotonically increasing set or ordered and accurate timestamps, it just wants something with bits that change. there's been discussions for years about letting rnd use a clock that's super fast to read, but not necessarily accurate, but it wasn't until recently that i figured out it wasn't interested in time at all, so things like keeping a fast clock coherent between cpu cores or correct according to ntp is unecessary. this means we can just let rnd read the cycle counters on cpus and things will be fine. cpus with cycle counters that vary in their speed and arent kept consistent between cores may even be desirable in this context. so this is the first step in converting rnd.c to reading cycle counter. it copies the nanotime backend to each arch, and they can replace it with something MD as a second step later on. djm@ suggested rnd_messybytes, but we landed on cpu_rnd_messybits. thanks to visa for his eyes. ok deraadt@ visa@ deraadt@ says he will help handle any MD fallout that occurs.

2018-09-14Unify and bump some of the NMBCLUSTERS defines. Some archs had it set toclaudio1-2/+2
4MB which is far too low especially when the platform is able to run MP. New limits are, amd64 = 256M; arm64, mips64, sparc64 = 64M; alpha, arm, hppa, i386, powerpc = 32M; m88k, sh = 8M Still rather conservative numbers but much better than before. At least some hangs of arm64 build boxes was caused by this. OK kettenis@, visa@

2018-03-05#define _MAX_PAGE_SHIFT in MD _types.h as the maximum pagesize an archderaadt1-1/+2
needs (looking at you sgi, but others required this before). This is for the circumstances we need pagesize known at compile time, not getpagesize() runtime. Use it for malloc storage sizes, for shm, and to set pthread stack default sizes. The stack sizes were a mess, and pushing them towards page-aligned is healthy move (which will also be needed by the coming stack register checker) ok guenther kettenis, discussion with stefan

2017-06-05Split early startup code out of locore.S into locore0.S. Adjust linkderaadt1-1/+3
run so that this locore0.o is always at the start of the executable. But randomize the link order of all other .o files in the kernel, so that their exec/rodata/data/bss segments land all over the place. Late during kernel boot, smash the startup code with traps so that it does not point to the other randomly placed code. It has be smashed, because alpha (insecurely in my view) runs in the KSEG0 space. As a result, the internal layout of every newly build bsd kernel is different from past kernels. Internal relative offsets are not known to an outside attacker. The only known offsets are in the startup code, which is gone. Ramdisk kernels cannot be compiled like this, because they are gzip'd. When the internal pointer references change, the compression dictionary bloats and results in poorer compression.

2017-02-08In exec_elf.c: expand ELFNAME(), ELFNAME2(), and ELFNAMEEND() exceptguenther1-3/+1
leaving out the size, so that ELFNAME2(exec,makecmds) becomes exec_elf_makecmds instead of exec_elf{32,64}_makecmds and then delete the ELFNAME2() and ELFNAMEEND() macros. Move the prototypes for functions local to exec_elf.c to there from exec_elf.h. Simplify the SMALL_KERNEL conditionals around the ELF coredump code. Change exec_conf.c to use the size-generic names and macros Remove exec_elf{32,64}.c and just build exec_elf.c; delete the _KERN_DO_ELF and _KERN_DO_ELF64 #defines. ok jca@, encouragement from deraadt@ and tom@

2015-10-01Make the alpha pmap (more) mpsafe by protecting both the pmap itself and thekettenis1-1/+4
pv lists with a mutex. This should make pmap_enter(9), pmap_remove(9) and pmap_page_protect(9) safe to use without holding the kernel lock. This largely reverts rev. 1.75, but now of course the pmap locks are defined to actually call mtx_enter(9) and mtx_leave(9). ok visa@
