The debugger is always entered after some kind of kernel trap, often a
breakpoint in kdb_enter(). This means that the most recent trapframe
will include kernel state at the time of the trap, when often it is
desirable to the developer to view the contents of the previous
trapframe. This trapframe often corresponds to the entry from userspace.
The ddb(4) man page claims the ability to display user register state
via the 'u' modifier to `show registers`, but this appears untrue. It is
not obvious from a quick search of the history when this feature was
added, or when it was removed. (Re)implement this feature in
db_show_regs, noting that it is not necessarily populated with userspace
state.

The kernel will never map the first page, so any symbols in that

define internal constants which appear in their symbol table.
Avoiding the lookup for those symbols avoids replacing small offsets

It turns out relocating the symbol table itself can cause issues, like fbt
crashing because it applies the offsets to the kernel twice.
This had been previously brought up in rS333447 when the stoffs hack was
added, but I had been unaware of this and reimplemented symtab relocation.
Instead of relocating the symbol table, keep track of the relocation base
in ddb, so the ddb symbols behave like the kernel linker-provided symbols.
This is intended to be NFC on platforms other than PowerPC, which do not
use fully relocatable kernels. (The relbase will always be 0)
* Remove the rest of the stoffs hack.
* Remove my half-baked displace_symbol_table() function.
* Extend ddb initialization to cope with having a relocation offset on the
kernel symbol table.
* Fix my kernel-as-initrd hack to work with booke64 by using a temporary
mapping to access the data.
* Fix another instance of __powerpc__ that is actually RELOCATABLE_KERNEL.
* Change the behavior or X_db_symbol_values to apply the relocation base
when updating valp, to match link_elf_symbol_values() behavior.

__builtin_unreachable doesn't raise any compile-time warnings/errors on its
own, so problems with its usage can't be easily detected. While it would be
nice for this situation to change and compilers to at least add a warning
for trivial cases where local state means the instruction can't be reached,
this isn't the case at the moment and likely will not happen.
This commit adds an __assert_unreachable, whose intent is incredibly clear:
it asserts that this instruction is unreachable. On INVARIANTS builds, it's
a panic(), and on non-INVARIANTS it expands to __unreachable().
Existing users of __unreachable() are converted to __assert_unreachable,
to improve debuggability if this assumption is violated.

Allow commands to specify that (hex) numbers may start with A-F, by adding
the DRT_HEX flag for db_read_token_flags(). As before, numbers containing
invalid digits for the current radix are rejected.
Also, lex ':' and '::' tokens as tCOLON and tCOLONCOLON respectively.
There is a mild conflict here with lexed "identifiers" (tIDENT): ddb
identifiers may contain arbitrary colons, and the ddb lexer is greedy. So
the identifier lex will swallow any colons it finds inside identifiers, and
consumers are still unable to expect the token sequence 'tIDENT tCOLON'.
That limitation does not matter for IPv6 addresses, because the lexer always
attempts to lex numbers before identifiers.

This allows replacing "sys/eventfilter.h" includes with "sys/_eventfilter.h"
in other header files (e.g., sys/{bus,conf,cpu}.h) and reduces header
pollution substantially.
EVENTHANDLER_DECLARE and EVENTHANDLER_LIST_DECLAREs were moved out of .c
files into appropriate headers (e.g., sys/proc.h, powernv/opal.h).
As a side effect of reduced header pollution, many .c files and headers no
longer contain needed definitions. The remainder of the patch addresses
adding appropriate includes to fix those files.
LOCK_DEBUG and LOCK_FILE_LINE_ARG are moved to sys/_lock.h, as required by
sys/mutex.h since r326106 (but silently protected by header pollution prior
to this change).
No functional change (intended). Of course, any out of tree modules that
relied on header pollution for sys/eventhandler.h, sys/lock.h, or
sys/mutex.h inclusion need to be fixed. __FreeBSD_version has been bumped.

This can aid with debugging when a thread is running and has no backtrace.
State can be estimated based on the pcb, and refined from there, for
example, to get a rough idea of the stack pointer.
Currently, the 'thread' command (to switch the debugger to another thread)
only accepts decimal-encoded tids. Use the same parsing logic as 'show
thread <arg>' to accept hex-encoded thread pointers in addition to
decimal-encoded tids.
Document the 'thread' command in ddb.4 and expand the 'show thread'
documentation to cover the tid usage.

Summary:
There were 2 issues that were preventing correct symbol resolution
on PowerPC/pseries:
1- memory corruption at chrp_attach() - this caused the inital
part of the symbol table to become zeroed, which would cause
the kernel linker to fail to parse it.
(this was probably zeroing out other memory parts as well)
2- DDB symbol resolution wasn't working because symtab contained
not relocated addresses but it was given relocated offsets.
Although relocating the symbol table fixed this, it broke the
linker, that already handled this case.
Thus, the fix for this consists in adding a new DDB macro:
DB_STOFFS(offs) that converts a (potentially) relocated offset
into one that can be compared with symbol table values.

Before executing a command in a ddb script ddb prints an information
line of the form:
db:1:my-script> command
where 1 is the script's depth level, "my-script" is the scipt's name,
and "command" is the current command in the script.
db_script_exec() uses its 'scriptname' parameter to produce that string.
In the case when db_script_exec() is called from db_run_cmd() the
argument points to db_tok_string that is a global variable used for
command parsing. So, its value changes with every command executed.
This commit changes the code to use the script's name stored in

We currently use a set of subroutines in kern_gzio.c to perform
compression of user and kernel core dumps. In the interest of adding
support for other compression algorithms (zstd) in this role without
complicating the API consumers, add a simple compressor API which can be
used to select an algorithm.
Also change the (non-default) GZIO kernel option to not enable
compressed user cores by default. It's not clear that such a default
would be desirable with support for multiple algorithms implemented,
and it's inconsistent in that it isn't applied to kernel dumps.

I fixed this in 1997, but the fix was over-engineered and fragile and
was broken in 2003 if not before. i386 parameters were copied to 8
other arches verbatim, mostly after they stopped working on i386, and
mostly without the large comment saying how the values were chosen on
i386. powerpc has a non-verbatim copy which just changes the uncritical
parameter and seems to add a sign extension bug to it.
Just treat negative offsets as offsets if they are no more negative than
-db_offset_max (default -64K), and remove all the broken parameters.
-64K is not very negative, but it is enough for frame and stack pointer
offsets since kernel stacks are small.
The over-engineering was mainly to go more negative than -64K for the
negative offset format, without affecting printing for more than a
single address.
Addresses in the top 64K of a (full 32-bit or 64-bit) address space
are now printed less well, but there aren't many interesting ones.
For arches that have many interesting ones very near the top (e.g.,
68k has interrupt vectors there), there would be no good limit for
the negative offset format and -64K is a good as anything.
in practice).
db_expr_t is a signed type, but right shifts are fudged to evaluate
them in an unsigned type, and the unsigned type was broken by hard-
coding it as 'unsigned', so casting to it lost the top bits on arches
with db_expr_t larger than u_int.
The unsigned type with the same size as db_expr_t is not declared;
assume that db_addr_t gives it. Fixing this properly is less important
than using the correct type for db_expr_t (originally always long for
C90, but always intmax_t since C99).
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.
