shared library being built for amd64. The problem is that libstdc++.so
is produced with 'cc -shared'. This has an internal -lgcc, which is
not PIC. libstdc++.so uses exceptions and the dwarf2 unwinder, which
are in libgcc.a. As a result, non-PIC code gets pulled into libstdc++.so.
This is fatal on amd64 when certain relocation types cannot be used in
PIC mode. The official FSF solution to this is to have libgcc.so with
internal ELF symbol versioning to solve the ABI problem, but I dont want
to fight that battle yet. I tried making libgcc_pic.a (which worked
fine), but thats not something for the 11th hour before a release.

Access to the thread's flags and state is protected by
_thread_critical_enter/exit(). When a thread is signaled with a condition
its state must be protected by locking it and disabling
signals before it is taken of the waiters' queue.
Move the implementation of pthread_cond_signal() and pthread_cond_broadcast()
into one function, cond_signal(). Its behaviour is determined by the
last argument, int broadcast. If this is set to 1 it will remove all
waiters, otherwise it will wake up only the first waiter thread.

On alpha, PAL is involved in context management and after wiring
the CPU (in alpha_init()) a context switch was performed to tell
PAL about the context. This was bogusly brought over to ia64
where it introduced bugs, because we restored the context from
a mostly uninitialized PCB.
The cleanup constitutes:
o Remove the unused arguments from ia64_init().
o Don't return from ia64_init(), but instead call mi_startup()
directly. This reduces the amount of muckery in assembly and
also allows for the next bullet:
o Save our currect context prior to calling mi_startup(). The
reason for this is that many threads are created from thread0
by cloning the PCB. By saving our context in the PCB, we have
something sane to clone. It also ensures that a cloned thread
that does not alter the context in any way will return to
the saved context, where we're ready for the eventuality with
a nice, user unfriendly panic().
The cleanup fixes at least the following bugs:
o Entering mi_startup() with the RSE in enforced lazy mode.
o Re-execution of ia64_init() in certain "lab" conditions.
While here, add proper unwind directives to __start() so that
the unwind knows it has reached the bottom of the (call) stack.

When interrupting a kernel context, we don't need to switch stacks
(memory nor register). As such, we were also not restoring the
register stack pointer (ar.bspstore). This, however, fails to be
valid in 1 situation: when we interrupt a register stack switch as
is being done in restorectx(). The problem is that restorectx()
needs to have ar.bsp == ar.bspstore before it can assign the new
value to ar.bspstore. This is achieved by doing a loadrs prior to
assigning to ar.bspstore. If we take an interrupt in between the
loadrs and the assignment and we don't make sure we restore the
ar.bspstore prior to returning from the interrupt, we switch
stacks with possibly non-zero dirty registers, which means that
the new frame pointer (ar.bsp) will be invalid.
So, instead of jumping over the restoration of the register frame
pointer and related registers, we conditionalize it based on whether
we return to kernel context or user context. A future performance
tweak is possible by only restoring ar.bspstore when returning to
kernel mode *and* when the RSE is in enforced lazy mode. One cannot
assume ar.bsp == ar.bspstore if the RSE is not in enforced lazy mode
anyway.
While here (well, not quite) don't unconditionally assign to
ar.bspstore in exception_save. Only do that when we actually switch
stacks. It can only harm us to do it unconditionally.

register stack. There's nothing really wrong with flushing before
putting the RSE in enforced lazy mode, provided you don't depend on
ar.bspstore being equal to ar.bsp when the RSE has been put in
enforced lazy more. The small window between the flush and setting
the RSE may be sufficient to have the RSE eagerly increase the dirty
region (and hence cause ar.bspstore != ar.bsp) or have an interrupt
that may even get the laziest RSE to do something.
Anyway: we don't depend on ar.bspstore being equal to ar.bsp, so
nothing was and is broken. But the code was non-intuitive and
easily confuses. This is a source of future bugs.
Note: the advantage of not depending on ar.bspstore is that there's
some recilience against an interrupted flushrs. Clobbering is limited
to stacked register contents only, not to RSE address clobbering.

size and the kernel's heap size, specifically, vm_kmem_size. This
function allows a maximum of 40% of the vm_kmem_size to be used for
vnodes and vm objects. This is a conservative bound based upon recent
problem reports. (In other words, a slight increase in this percentage
may be safe.)
Finally, machines with less than ~3GB of RAM should be unaffected
by this change, i.e., the maximum number of vnodes should remain
the same. If necessary, machines with 3GB or more of RAM can increase
the maximum number of vnodes by increasing vm_kmem_size.

systems. Of note:
- Implement a direct mapped region using 2MB pages. This eliminates the
need for temporary mappings when getting ptes. This supports up to
512GB of physical memory for now. This should be enough for a while.
- Implement a 4-tier page table system. Most of the infrastructure is
there for 128TB of userland virtual address space, but only 512GB is
presently enabled due to a mystery bug somewhere. The design of this
was heavily inspired by the alpha pmap.c.
- The kernel is moved into the negative address space(!).
- The kernel has 2GB of KVM available.
- Provide a uma memory allocator to use the direct map region to take
advantage of the 2MB TLBs.
- Fixed some assumptions in the bus_space macros about the ability
to fit virtual addresses in an 'int'.
Notable missing things:
- pmap_growkernel() should be able to grow to 512GB of KVM by expanding
downwards below kernbase. The kernel must be at the top 2GB of the
negative address space because of gcc code generation strategies.
- need to fix the >512GB user vm code.

with UFS1, the UFS1 superblocks were not deleted. This allowed any
RELENG_4 (or other non-UFS2-aware) fsck to think it knew how to "fix"

This patch is a more advanced version than the one originally submitted.
Lukas improved it based on feedback from Kirk, and testing by me. It
blanks all UFS1 superblocks (if any) during a UFS2 newfs, thereby causing
fsck's that are not UFS2 aware to generate the "SEARCH FOR ALTERNATE
