all platforms: separate cpu_initclocks() from cpu_startclock()
To give the primary CPU an opportunity to perform clock interrupt
preparation in a machine-independent manner we need to separate the
"initialization" parts of cpu_initclocks() from the "start the clock
interrupt" parts. Currently, cpu_initclocks() does everything all at
once, so there is no space for this MI setup.
Many platforms have more-or-less already done this separation by
implementing a separate routine named "cpu_startclock()". This patch
promotes cpu_startclock() from de facto standard to mandatory API.
- Prototype cpu_startclock() in sys/systm.h alongside cpu_initclocks().
The separation of responsibility between the two routines is a bit
fuzzy but the basic guidelines are as follows:
+ cpu_initclocks() must initialize hz, stathz, and profhz, and call
clockintr_init().
+ cpu_startclock() must call clockintr_cpu_init() and start the clock
interrupt cycle on the calling CPU.
These guidelines will shift in the future, but that's the way things
stand as of *this* commit.
- In initclocks(): first call cpu_initclocks(), then do MI setup, and
last call cpu_startclock().
- On platforms where cpu_startclock() already exists: don't call
cpu_startclock() from cpu_initclocks() anymore.
- On platforms where cpu_startclock() doesn't yet exist: implement it.
Usually this is as simple as dividing cpu_initclocks() in two.
Tested on amd64 (i8254, lapic), arm64, i386 (i8254, lapic), macppc,
mips64/octeon, and sparc64. Tested on arm/armv7 (agtimer(4)) by
phessler@ and jmatthew@. Tested on m88k/luna88k by aoyama@. Tested
on powerpc64 by gkoehler@ and mlarkin@. Tested on riscv64 by
jmatthew@.
