Implement rfork(!RFPROC RFFDG), which divorces the file descriptors for a

Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()
and allow the child to return up through the function call tree to return
to user mode - create a new execution context and have the new process
begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer
to each process's tss since the esp0 pointer is a 32 bit pointer, and the
sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.
The 8K of memory at the top of the process space is now empty, and unmapped
(and unmappable, it's higher than VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS).
Simplity the pmap code to manage process contexts, we no longer have to

The following parts came from John Dyson:
Set PG_G on the UPAGES that are now in kernel context, and invalidate
them when swapping them out.
Move the upages object (upobj) from the vmspace to the proc structure.

convenient and makes life difficult for my next commit. We still need
an i386tss to point to for the tss slot in the gdt, so we use a common
tss shared between all processes.
Note that this is going to break debugging until this series of commits
is finished. core dumps will change again too. :-( we really need
a more modern core dump format that doesn't depend on the pcb/upages.

I have code to calibrate the overhead fairly accurately, but there
is little point in using it since it is most accurate on machines
where an estimate of 0 works well. On slow machines, the accuracy
of DELAY() has a large variance since it is limited by the resolution
of getit() even if the initial delay is calibrated perfectly.
Use fixed point and long longs to speed up scaling in DELAY().
The old method slowed down a lot when the frequency became variable.
Assume the default frequency for short delays so that the fixed
point calculation can be exact.
Fast scaling is only important for small delays. Scaling is done
after looking at the counter and outside the loop, so it doesn't
decrease accuracy or resolution provided it completes before the
delay is up. The comment in the code is still confused about this.
Disabling npx0 works right now.

tended to cause infinite loops for delays of > 20 us. Such delays
are rare. For syscons and kbdio, DELAY() is only called early

is too small to matter (and too small to be correct) except in the
PC98 case. For pcvt, DELAY() is not used for small delays (pcvt
uses its own broken routine instead of the standard broken one),
but some versions call DELAY() with a large arg when they unnecessarily
initialize the keyboard for doing console output. The problem is
more serious for pcvt because there is always some early console

I586_OPTIMIZED_BCOPY is configured.
Similarly for bzero/I586_OPTIMIZED_BZERO.
Fake 586's had better have a hardware FPU with non-broken exception
handling (we mask exceptions, but broken exception handling may trap
on the instructions that do the masking). I guess this means that
the routines won't work on most 386's or FPUless 486's even when they
have a h/w FPU.
These are based on using the FPU to do 64-bit stores. They also
use i586-optimized instruction ordering, i586-optimized cache
management and a couple of other tricks. They should work on any
i*86 with a h/w FPU, but are slower on at least i386's and i486's.
They come close to saturating the memory bus on i586's. bzero()
can maintain a 3-3-3-3 burst cycle to 66 MHz non-EDO main memory
on a P133 (but is too slow to keep up with a 2-2-2-2 burst cycle
for EDO - someone with EDO should fix this). bcopy() is several
cycles short of keeping up with a 3-3-3-3 cycle for writing. For
a P133 writing to 66 MHz main memory, it just manages an N-3-3-3,
3-3-3-3 pair of burst cycles, where N is typically 6.
The new routines are not used by default. They are always configured
and can be enabled at runtime using a debugger or an lkm to change
their function pointer, or at compile time using new options (see
another log message).
Removed old, dead i586_bzero() and i686_bzero(). Read-before-write is
usually bad for i586's. It doubles the memory traffic unless the data
is already cached, and data is (or should be) very rarely cached for
large bzero()s (the system should prefer uncached pages for cleaning),
and the amount of data handled by small bzero()s is relatively small
in the kernel.
Improved comments about overlapping copies.
Removed unused #include.
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.

performance issues.
1) The pmap module has had too many inlines, and so the
object file is simply bigger than it needs to be.
Some common code is also merged into subroutines.
2) Removal of some *evil* PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE macro calls.
Unfortunately, a few have needed to be added also.
The removal caused the need for more vm_page_lookups.
I added lookup hints to minimize the need for the
page table lookup operations.
3) Removal of some bogus performance improvements, that
mostly made the code more complex (tracking individual
page table page updates unnecessarily). Those improvements
actually hurt 386 processors perf (not that people who
worry about perf use 386 processors anymore :-)).
4) Changed pv queue manipulations/structures to be TAILQ's.
5) The pv queue code has had some performance problems since
day one. Some significant scalability issues are resolved
by threading the pv entries from the pmap AND the physical
address instead of just the physical address. This makes
certain pmap operations run much faster. This does
not affect most micro-benchmarks, but should help loaded system
performance *significantly*. DG helped and came up with most
of the solution for this one.
6) Most if not all pmap bit operations follow the pattern:
pmap_test_bit();
pmap_clear_bit();
That made for twice the necessary pv list traversal. The
pmap interface now supports only pmap_tc_bit type operations:
pmap_[test/clear]_modified, pmap_[test/clear]_referenced.
Additionally, the modified routine now takes a vm_page_t arg
instead of a phys address. This eliminates a PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
operation.
7) Several rewrites of routines that contain redundant code to
use common routines, so that there is a greater likelihood of
keeping the cache footprint smaller.

1) Make it much less likely to miss a wakeup in vm_page_free_wakeup
2) Create a new entry point into pmap: pmap_ts_referenced, eliminates
the need to scan the pv lists twice in many cases. Perhaps there
is alot more to do here to work on minimizing pv list manipulation
3) Minor improvements to vm_pageout including the use of pmap_ts_ref.
4) Major changes and code improvement to pmap. This code has had
several serious bugs in page table page manipulation. In order
to simplify the problem, and hopefully solve it for once and all,
page table pages are no longer "managed" with the pv list stuff.
Page table pages are only (mapped and held/wired) or
(free and unused) now. Page table pages are never inactive,
active or cached. These changes have probably fixed the
hold count problems, but if they haven't, then the code is
simpler anyway for future bugfixing.
5) The pmap code has been sorely in need of re-organization, and I
have taken a first (of probably many) steps. Please tell me
if you have any ideas.
All new code is "#ifdef PC98"ed so this should make no difference to
PC/AT (and its clones) users.

2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer

7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
