MD function is just a wrapper around db_stack_trace_cmd() that prints out
a backtrace of curthread. Currently, this function is only implemented
on i386 and alpha (and the alpha version isn't quite tested yet, will do
that in a bit). Other changes:
- For i386, fix a bug in the raw frame address case. The eip we extract
from the passed in frame address does not match the frame we received.
Thus, instead of printing a bogus frame with the wrong eip, go ahead
and advance frame down to the same frame as the eip we are using.
- For alpha, attempt to add a way of doing a raw trace for alpha. Instead
of passing a frame address in 'addr', pass in a pointer to a structure
containing PC and KSP and use those to start the backtrace. The alpha
db_print_backtrace() uses asm to read in the current PC and KSP values
into such a request.

This part of sendsig could be slightly refactored to use an MI interface, or

basically maps all of physical memory 1:1 to a range of virtual addresses
outside of normal kva. The advantage of doing this instead of accessing
phsyical addresses directly is that memory accesses will go through the
data cache, and will participate in the normal cache coherency algorithm
for invalidating lines in our own and in other cpus' data caches. So
we don't have to flush the cache manually or send IPIs to do so on other
cpus. Also, since the mappings never change, we don't have to flush them

from the tlb. This makes use of the array indexed by cpuid to allow a pmap
to have a different context number on a different cpu. If the context numbers
are then divided evenly among cpus such that none are shared, we can avoid
sending tlb shootdown ipis in an smp system for non-shared pmaps. This also
removes a limit of 8192 processes (pmaps) that could be active at any given
time due to running out of tlb contexts.

Crucial bugfix from: tmm
clobbered by the child. This is more complicated than usual because the
window that could get clobbered is pushed in kernel mode, so a lot of
registers would have to be saved in other registers in userland and we
don't have enough. What we do have is space in the pcb to temporarily
store user windows that were spilled in kernel mode, but could not be
immediately stored to the user stack. So we copy in the parent's topmost
window and save it in the pcb, and arrange for it to be copied back out
when the child is done frobbing the stack.

Previously, the UPAGES/KSTACK area of processes/threads would leak memory
at the time that a previously swapped process was terminated. Lukcily, the
leak was only 12K/proc, so it was unlikely to be a major problem unless you
had an undersized swap partition.

In order to determine what to page out, the vm_daemon checks
reference bits on all pages belonging to all processes. Unfortunately,
the algorithm used reacted badly with shared pages; each shared page
would be checked once per process sharing it; this caused an O(N^2)
growth of tlb invalidations. The algorithm has been changed so that
each page will be checked only 16 times.
Prior to this change, a fork/sleepbomb of 1300 processes could cause
the vm_daemon to take over 60 seconds to complete, effectively
freezing the system for that time period. With this change
in place, the vm_daemon completes in less than a second. Any system
with hundreds of processes sharing pages should benefit from this change.
Note that the vm_daemon is only run when the system is under extreme
memory pressure. It is likely that many people with loaded systems saw
no symptoms of this problem until they reached the point where swapping
began.
Special thanks go to dillon, peter, and Chuck Cranor, who helped me
get up to speed with vm internals.

device drivers for bus system with other endinesses than the CPU (using
interfaces compatible to NetBSD):
- bwap16() and bswap32(). These have optimized implementations on some
architectures; for those that don't, there exist generic implementations.
- macros to convert from a certain byte order to host byte order and vice
versa, using a naming scheme like le16toh(), htole16().
These are implemented using the bswap functions.
- stream bus space access functions, which do not perform a byte order
conversion (while the normal access functions would if the bus endianess
differs from the CPU endianess).
htons(), htonl(), ntohs() and ntohl() are implemented using the new
functions above for kernel usage. None of the above interfaces is currently
exported to user land.
Make use of the new functions in a few places where local implementations
of the same functionality existed.
