the debugger back-end has changed. This means that switching from ddb
to gdb no longer requires a "step" which can be dangerous on an
already-crashed kernel.
Also add a capability to get from the gdb back-end back to ddb, by
typing ^C in the console window.
While here, simplify kdb_sysctl_available() by using
sbuf_new_for_sysctl(), and use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() since the
strlcpy semantic is desired.

Implement an optional delay to the ddb reset/reboot command.
This allows textdumps to be run automatically with unattended reboots
after a resonable timeout, while still permitting an administrator to
break into debugger if attached to the console at the time of the
event for further debugging. Cap the maximum delay at 1 week to avoid
highly accidental results, and default to 15s in case of problems
parsing the timeout value.
Move hex2dec helper function from db_thread.c to db_command.c to make

to fail due to lack of resources to queue siginfo. Add KSI_SIGQ flag
that allows sigqueue_add() to fail while trying to allocate memory for
new siginfo. When the flag is not set, behaviour is the same as for
KSI_TRAP: if memory cannot be allocated, set bit in sq_kill. KSI_TRAP is
kept to preserve KBI.
Add SI_KERNEL si_code, to be used in siginfo.si_code when signal is
generated by kernel. Deliver siginfo when signal is generated by kill(2)
family of syscalls (SI_USER with properly filled si_uid and si_pid), or
by kernel (SI_KERNEL, mostly job control or SIGIO). Since KSI_SIGQ flag
is not set for the ksi, low memory condition cause old behaviour.
Keep psignal(9) KBI intact, but modify it to generate SI_KERNEL
si_code. Pgsignal(9) and gsignal(9) now take ksi explicitely. Add
pksignal(9) that behaves like psignal but takes ksi, and ddb kill
command implemented as pksignal(..., ksi = NULL) to not do allocation
while in debugger.
While there, remove some register specifiers and use ANSI C prototypes.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

The system hostname is now stored in prison0, and the global variable
"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex. Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system. The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL. The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.
The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their
associated global variables removed.

This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.
Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.
We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed

The change as committed differs slightly from the patch in the PR,
as I force the size of the retrieved value (and the automatic
address increment) to be sizeof(void *). This seems to provide
the most useful auto-increment behavior, and defaults using the
default size (4), which is not sizeof(void *) on 64-bit platforms.

dump using mechanically generated/extracted debugging output rather than
a simple memory dump. Current sources of debugging output are:
- DDB output capture buffer, if there is captured output to save
- Kernel message buffer
- Kernel configuration, if included in kernel
- Kernel version string
- Panic message
Textdumps are stored in swap/dump partitions as with regular dumps, but
are laid out as ustar files in order to allow multiple parts to be stored
as a stream of sequentially written blocks. Blocks are written out in
reverse order, as the size of a textdump isn't known a priori. As with
regular dumps, they will be extracted using savecore(8).
One new DDB(4) command is added, "textdump", which accepts "set",
"unset", and "status" arguments. By default, normal kernel dumps are
generated unless "textdump set" is run in order to schedule a textdump.
It can be canceled using "textdump unset" to restore generation of a
normal kernel dump.
Several sysctls exist to configure aspects of textdumps;
debug.ddb.textdump.pending can be set to check whether a textdump is
pending, or set/unset in order to control whether the next kernel dump
will be a textdump from userspace.
While textdumps don't have to be generated as a result of a DDB script
run automatically as part of a kernel panic, this is a particular useful
way to use them, as instead of generating a complete memory dump, a
simple transcript of an automated DDB session can be captured using the
DDB output capture and textdump facilities. This can be used to
generate quite brief kernel bug reports rich in debugging information
but not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely synchronized
source code. Most textdumps I generate are less than 100k including
the full message buffer. Using textdumps with an interactive debugging
session is also useful, with capture being enabled/disabled in order to
record some but not all of the DDB session.

define a set of named scripts. Each script consists of a list of DDB
commands separated by ";"s that will be executed verbatim. No higher
level language constructs, such as branching, are provided for:
scripts are executed by sequentially injecting commands into the DDB
input buffer.
Four new commands are present in DDB: "run" to run a specific script,
"script" to define or print a script, "scripts" to list currently
defined scripts, and "unscript" to delete a script, modeled on shell
alias commands. Scripts may also be manipulated using sysctls in the
debug.ddb.scripting MIB space, although users will prefer to use the
soon-to-be-added ddb(8) tool for usability reasons.
Scripts with certain names are automatically executed on various DDB
events, such as entering the debugger via a panic, a witness error,
watchdog, breakpoint, sysctl, serial break, etc, allowing customized
handling.

previously the sched_lock. These bugs have existed for some time.
- Allow swapout to try each thread in a process individually and then
swapin the whole process if any of these fail. This allows us to move
most scheduler related swap flags into td_flags.

Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity

This makes the code a lot more readable.

The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do

since they just duplicated the MI `reset' command. Instead of removing
them, make `reboot' an MI alias for `reboot' since this gives a better
way of killing the `r' alias for `reset'. Remove the `registers' command
that was used to kill the alias.
Turn the powerpc and sparc64 MD `halt' command into an MI command.
A copy of sparc64/db_interface.c grew in sun4v just after I found the
extra reboot commands. It has not been changed, and is now not
identical. Duplicated commands come out duplicated in ddb's online
help, but cause large problems when used (e.g., on i386's with 2 halt's
and an hwatch, typing h doesn' give the expected message about an
ambiguous command, but hangs like the halt command or a looping parseri
would).
suppression is only needed at ends of lines, but rev.1.32 forced it
off precisely there.
The --More-- prompt is now cleared by explicitly forcing out the
whitespace in "\r \r". It might be better to use the line
editor's clearing functions, but these are currently static and not
much different.
- `b' is now an official alias for `break'. It used to be an unofficial
alias, but this was broken by adding the `bt' alias for `trace'.
- `t' is now an official alias for `trace'. It used to be an unofficial
alias, but this was broken by adding the `thread' command.
- `registers' is now an alias for `show registers'. This is a hack to
break the unofficial `r' alias for `reset'. `r' really means
`registers' in some debuggers, so I sometimes type it accidentally and
am annoyed when it resets the system. A short command shouldn't have
such a large effect. Now at least `res' must be typed to disambiguate
`reset'.

- 1 character is wasted for a space after the last column
