AMD64, gcc (and the ABI) expects the x87 unit to be running in 80/64
mode (not 64/53) so that it can use it for 'long double' operations. It
takes the expected precision differences into account when generating
code.
should really be renamed to fpu.h and npx.c to fpu.c since its part of
the core architecture on amd64 systems, not an isa 'numeric processor
extension'.
a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to
attempt to get a stable base to start from. There is a lot missing still.
Worth noting:
- The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code. pmap uses
a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4
levels of page tables yet.
- It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the
i386 loader. This simplifies locore.s greatly.
- There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have
not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C
versions of (bcopy etc).
- It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument
passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction
for syscalls. int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not.
- I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple
of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed
%rcx register in the syscall instruction). As a result, there is not a
lot of similarity. I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to
get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.
expand to __attribute__((packed)) and __attribute__((aligned(x)))
respectively. Replace the handful of gcc-ism's that use
__attribute__((aligned(16))) etc around the kernel with __aligned(16).
There are over 400 __attribute__((packed)) to deal with, that can come
later. I just want to use __packed in new code rather than add more
gcc-ism's.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

commits to fix a couple of non-style things.

and works better for npx exceptions that start as interrupts (there is
no longer a problem for nested interrupts).

is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

This eliminates a lot of #ifdef SMP type code. Things like _curproc reside
in a data page that is unique on each cpu, eliminating the expensive macros
like: #define curproc (SMPcurproc[cpunumber()])
There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is
standalone so it should be safe. The temporary code goes away when the
full idle cpu support is finished.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
misplaced extern declarations (mostly prototypes of interrupt handlers)
that this exposed. The prototypes should be moved back to the driver
sources when the functions are staticalized.
Added idempotency guards to <machine/conf.h>. "ioconf.h" can't be
included when building LKMs so define a wart in bsd.kmod.mk to help
guard against including it.
I know that many of these entries are bogus and need to be revisited,
but let's get the tree working again for now and then do a pass through
looking at all the __FreeBSD__ entries, shall we?
Delete the ifdef GPL_EMULATE case here and made the padding work for
both types of emulators so that there is no longer a need to compile
ps and friends new if you are using the GPL math emulator instead the
normal one.
