far more convenient for libkvm to work with because of the page table
block at the beginning. As a result, the MD code is smaller.
libkvm will automatically detect old vs mini dumps on i386 and amd64.
libkvm will handle i386 PAE and non-PAE modes. There is a PAE flag in
the i386 minidump header to signal the width of the entries in the
page table block.
Other convenient values are also present, such as kernbase and the direct
map addresses on amd64.
readable on certain random memory configurations. If the libkvm consumer
tried to read something that was in the very last pdpe, pde or pte slot,
it would bogusly fail.
This is broken in RELENG_6 too.
returned an lseek offset in a "u_long *" value, which can't express >4GB
offsets on 32 bit machines (eg: PAE). Change to "off_t *" for all.
Support ELF crashdumps on i386 and amd64.
Support PAE crashdumps on i386. This is done by auto-detecting the
presence of the IdlePDPT which means that PAE is active.
I used Marcel's _kvm_pa2off strategy and ELF header reader for ELF support
on amd64. Paul Saab ported the amd64 changes to i386 and we implemented
the PAE support from there.
Note that gdb6 in the src tree uses whatever libkvm supports. If you want
to debug an old crash dump, you might want to keep an old libkvm.so handy
and use LD_PRELOAD or the like. This does not detect the old raw dump
format.

Extract the struct cdev pointer and the tty device from inside rather than
incorrectly casting the 'struct cdev *' pointer to a 'dev_t' int. Not
that this was particularly important since it was only used for reading
vmcore files.
- Add a comment noting that the ru_[us]times values being read aren't
actually valid and need to be computed from the raw values.

but with slightly cleaned up interfaces.
The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler
private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great
one is #defined as the other at this time.
The KSE (or td_sched) structure is now allocated per thread and has no
allocation code of its own.
Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters
rather than using KSE structures as tokens.
Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c
is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the
scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure.
The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's
queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure.
(per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the
scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except
the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental
schedulers with completely different internal structuring.
A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that
notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp
should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also
used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with
10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process
with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above
NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many
onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop
their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated.
Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as
linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance
but I will work to recover as much of it as I can.
Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly.
exit and exec code now transitions a process back to
'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.

The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
This enable us to use /dev/fwmem* as a core file.
e.g.
ps -M /dev/fwmem0.0 -N kernel.debug
dmesg -M /dev/fwmem0.0 -N kernel.debug
gdb -k -c /dev/fwmem0.0 kernel.debug
You need to set target EUI64 in hw.firewire.fwmem.eui64_hi/lo before
opening the device. On the target arch, (PCI) bus address must be
equivalent to physical address.
(We cannot use this for sparc64 because of IOMMU.)

binaries in /bin and /sbin installed in /lib. Only the versioned files
reside in /lib, the .so symlink continues to live /usr/lib so the
toolchain doesn't need to be modified.
prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).
Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)
Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.
Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.
Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.
This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.
