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.

An extra copy of the system call gate was added to the default LDT back
in 1996 (r18513 / r18514). However, the ability to run BSD/OS 2.1

needed.

A long long time ago the register keyword told the compiler to store
the corresponding variable in a CPU register, but it is not relevant

in place. To do per-cpu stats, convert all fields that previously were
maintained in the vmmeters that sit in pcpus to counter(9).
- Since some vmmeter stats may be touched at very early stages of boot,
before we have set up UMA and we can do counter_u64_alloc(), provide an
early counter mechanism:
o Leave one spare uint64_t in struct pcpu, named pc_early_dummy_counter.
o Point counter(9) fields of vmmeter to pcpu[0].pc_early_dummy_counter,
so that at early stages of boot, before counters are allocated we already
point to a counter that can be safely written to.
o For sparc64 that required a whole dummy pcpu[MAXCPU] array.
Further related changes:
- Don't include vmmeter.h into pcpu.h.
- vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout and vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin changed to 64-bit,
to match kernel representation.
- struct vmmeter hidden under _KERNEL, and only vmstat(1) is an exclusion.

I fixed this in 1997, but the fix was over-engineered and fragile and
was broken in 2003 if not before. i386 parameters were copied to 8
other arches verbatim, mostly after they stopped working on i386, and
mostly without the large comment saying how the values were chosen on
i386. powerpc has a non-verbatim copy which just changes the uncritical
parameter and seems to add a sign extension bug to it.
Just treat negative offsets as offsets if they are no more negative than
-db_offset_max (default -64K), and remove all the broken parameters.
-64K is not very negative, but it is enough for frame and stack pointer
offsets since kernel stacks are small.
The over-engineering was mainly to go more negative than -64K for the
negative offset format, without affecting printing for more than a
single address.
Addresses in the top 64K of a (full 32-bit or 64-bit) address space
are now printed less well, but there aren't many interesting ones.
For arches that have many interesting ones very near the top (e.g.,
68k has interrupt vectors there), there would be no good limit for
the negative offset format and -64K is a good as anything.
The change is more intrusive than I would like because the feature
requires that a vector number is written to a special register.
Thus, now the vector number has to be provided to lapic_eoi().
It was readily available in the IO-APIC and MSI cases, but the IPI
handlers required more work.
Also, we now store the VMM IPI number in a global variable, so that it
is available to the justreturn handler for the same reason.

Long ago, perhaps only on i386, kernel text was mapped read-only and
it was necessary to change the mapping to read-write to set breakpoints
in kernel text. Other writes by ddb to kernel text were also allowed.
This write protection is harder to implement with 4MB pages, and was
lost even for 4K pages when 4MB pages were implemented. So changing
the mapping became useless. It was actually worse than useless since
it followed followed various null and otherwise garbage pointers to
not change random memory instead of the mapping. (On i386s, the
pointers became good in pmap_bootstrap(), and on amd64 the pointers
became bad in pmap_bootstrap() if not before.)
Another bug broke detection of following of null pointers on i386,
except early in boot where not detecting this was a feature. When
I fixed the bug, I accidentally broke the feature and soon got traps
in db_write_bytes(). Setting breakpoints early in ddb was broken.
kib pointed out that a clean way to do the adjustment would be to use
a special [sub]map giving a small window on the bytes to be written.
The trap handler didn't know how to fix up errors for pagefaults
accessing the map itself. Such errors rarely need fixups, since most
traps for the map are for the first access which is a read.

Interpretation of the 'static' there is that the binary must not
specify an interpreter. In particular, shared objects are matched by
the brand if BI_CAN_EXEC_DYN is also set.
This improves precision of the brand matching, which should eliminate
surprises due to brand ordering.

CloudABI executables are statically linked and don't have an
interpreter. Setting the interpreter path to NULL used to work
previously, but r314851 introduced code that checks the string
unconditionally. Running CloudABI executables now causes a null pointer
dereference.
Looking at the rest of imgact_elf.c, it seems various other codepaths
already leaned on the fact that the interpreter path is set. Let's just
go ahead and pick an obviously incorrect interpreter path to appease
imgact_elf.c.

On the original i386, %dr[4-5] were unimplemented but not very clearly
reserved, so debuggers read them to print them. i386 was still doing
this.
On the original athlon64, %dr[4-5] are documented as reserved but are
aliased to %dr[6-7] unless CR4_DE is set, when accessing them traps.
On 2 of my systems, accessing %dr[4-5] trapped sometimes. On my Haswell
system, the apparent randomness was because the boot CPU starts with
CR4_DE set while all other CPUs start with CR4_DE clear. FreeBSD
doesn't support the data breakpoints enabled by CR4_DE and it never
changes this flag, so the flag remains different across CPUs and
the behaviour seemed inconsistent except while booting when the CPU
doesn't change.
The invalid accesses broke:
- read access for printing the registers in ddb "show watches" on CPUs
with CR4_DE set
- read accesses in fill_dbregs() on CPUs with CR4_DE set. This didn't
implement panic(3) since the user case always skipped %dr[4-5].
- write accesses in set_dbregs(). This also didn't affect userland.
When it didn't trap, the aliasing made it fragile.
Don't print the dummy (zero) values of %dr[4-5] in "show watches" for
i386 or amd64. Fix style bugs near this printing.
amd64 also has space in the dbregs struct for the reserved %dr[8-15]
and already didn't print the dummy values for these, and never accessed
any of the 10 reserved debug registers.
Remove cpufuncs for making the invalid accesses. Even amd64 had these.

Bring back the i486 option in GENERIC by default.
The code related to i386 CPU variants configuration has received many
changes in the last years: most of the features are detected automatically,
so there are no performance penalties from keeping the 486 support enabled.

CPUs, is also gone so we don't test such platforms anymore.
