Modern debuggers and process tracers use ptrace() rather than procfs
for debugging. ptrace() has a supserset of functionality available
via procfs and new debugging features are only added to ptrace().
While the two debugging services share some fields in struct proc,
they each use dedicated fields and separate code. This results in
extra complexity to support a feature that hasn't been enabled in the
default install for several years.

The miscellaneous x86 sysent->sv_setregs() implementations tried to
migrate PSL_T from the previous program to the new executed one, but
they evaluated regs->tf_eflags after the whole regs structure was
bzeroed. Make this functional by saving PSL_T value before zeroing.
Note that if the debugger is not attached, executing the first
instruction in the new program with PSL_T set results in SIGTRAP, and
since all intercepted signals are reset to default dispostion on
exec(2), this means that non-debugged process gets killed immediately
if PSL_T is inherited. In particular, since suid images drop
P_TRACED, attempt to set PSL_T for execution of such program would
kill the process.
Another issue with userspace PSL_T handling is that it is reset by
trap(). It is reasonable to clear PSL_T when entering SIGTRAP
handler, to allow the signal to be handled without recursion or
delivery of blocked fault. But it is not reasonable to return back to
the normal flow with PSL_T cleared. This is too late to change, I
think.

Current code, which copies the potential syscall arguments into the
current frame, puts an arbitrary limit on the number of syscall
arguments. Apparently, mmap(2) and lseek(2) (?) require larger
number. But there is an issue that stack is only need to be mapped to
contain the number of arguments required by the syscall, so copying
arbitrary large number of words from the stack is not completely safe.
Use different approach to convert lcall frame into int $0x80 frame in

The implementation of the Kernel Page Table Isolation (KPTI) for
amd64, first version. It provides a workaround for the 'meltdown'
vulnerability. PTI is turned off by default for now, enable with the
loader tunable vm.pmap.pti=1.
The pmap page table is split into kernel-mode table and user-mode
table. Kernel-mode table is identical to the non-PTI table, while
usermode table is obtained from kernel table by leaving userspace
mappings intact, but only leaving the following parts of the kernel
mapped:
kernel text (but not modules text)
PCPU
GDT/IDT/user LDT/task structures
IST stacks for NMI and doublefault handlers.
Kernel switches to user page table before returning to usermode, and
restores full kernel page table on the entry. Initial kernel-mode
stack for PTI trampoline is allocated in PCPU, it is only 16
qwords. Kernel entry trampoline switches page tables. then the
hardware trap frame is copied to the normal kstack, and execution
continues.
IST stacks are kept mapped and no trampoline is needed for
NMI/doublefault, but of course page table switch is performed.
On return to usermode, the trampoline is used again, iret frame is
copied to the trampoline stack, page tables are switched and iretq is
executed. The case of iretq faulting due to the invalid usermode
context is tricky, since the frame for fault is appended to the
trampoline frame. Besides copying the fault frame and original
(corrupted) frame to kstack, the fault frame must be patched to make
it look as if the fault occured on the kstack, see the comment in
doret_iret detection code in trap().
Currently kernel pages which are mapped during trampoline operation
are identical for all pmaps. They are registered using
pmap_pti_add_kva(). Besides initial registrations done during boot,
LDT and non-common TSS segments are registered if user requested their
use. In principle, they can be installed into kernel page table per
pmap with some work. Similarly, PCPU can be hidden from userspace
mapping using trampoline PCPU page, but again I do not see much
benefits besides complexity.
PDPE pages for the kernel half of the user page tables are
pre-allocated during boot because we need to know pml4 entries which
are copied to the top-level paging structure page, in advance on a new
pmap creation. I enforce this to avoid iterating over the all
existing pmaps if a new PDPE page is needed for PTI kernel mappings.
The iteration is a known problematic operation on i386.
The need to flush hidden kernel translations on the switch to user
mode make global tables (PG_G) meaningless and even harming, so PG_G
use is disabled for PTI case. Our existing use of PCID is
incompatible with PTI and is automatically disabled if PTI is
enabled. PCID can be forced on only for developer's benefit.
MCE is known to be broken, it requires IST stack to operate completely
correctly even for non-PTI case, and absolutely needs dedicated IST
stack because MCE delivery while trampoline did not switched from PTI
stack is fatal. The fix is pending.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Upon successful completion, the execve() system call invokes
exec_setregs() to initialize the registers of the initial thread of the
newly executed process. What is weird is that when execve() returns, it
still goes through the normal system call return path, clobbering the
registers with the system call's return value (td->td_retval).
Though this doesn't seem to be problematic for x86 most of the times (as
the value of eax/rax doesn't matter upon startup), this can be pretty
frustrating for architectures where function argument and return
registers overlap (e.g., ARM). On these systems, exec_setregs() also
needs to initialize td_retval.
Even worse are architectures where cpu_set_syscall_retval() sets
registers to values not derived from td_retval. On these architectures,
there is no way cpu_set_syscall_retval() can set registers to the way it
wants them to be upon the start of execution.
To get rid of this madness, let sys_execve() return EJUSTRETURN. This
will cause cpu_set_syscall_retval() to leave registers intact. This
makes process execution easier to understand. It also eliminates the
difference between execution of the initial process and successive ones.
The initial call to sys_execve() is not performed through a system call
context.

struct thread.
For all architectures, the syscall trap handlers have to allocate the
structure on the stack. The structure takes 88 bytes on 64bit arches
which is not negligible. Also, it cannot be easily found by other
code, which e.g. caused duplication of some members of the structure
to struct thread already. The change removes td_dbg_sc_code and
td_dbg_sc_nargs which were directly copied from syscall_args.
The structure is put into the copied on fork part of the struct thread
to make the syscall arguments information correct in the child after
fork.
This move will also allow several more uses shortly.

- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the

right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to
postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.
- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as
well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in
dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.
- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and

- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that
mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU
state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu
state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag,
allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended
state in the interrupted context.
- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no
place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save
area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it
impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending
getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query
