with the exception of indirect function calls, are assumed to be
intra load module and thus that GP will be the same. This avoids
saving, setting and restoring GP for each function call and
reduces the kernel with ~320KB. There's obviously a performance
benefit as well.
Note that since we generally don't know if calls will be intra or
inter load module when we're compiling kernel modules, -mconstant-gp
cannot be used for modules.
Fix the "@gprel relocation against dynamic symbol xxx" linker error.
Variables defined in the link unit and small enough to be put in the
short data section will have a gp-relative access sequence (using the
@gprel relocation). It is invalid to have @gprel relocations in shared
libraries, because they are to be resolved by the static linker and
not the dynamic linker. The -fpic option will cause @ltoff relocations
for @gprel relocations, but the side-effects are untested (if any).
Instead, disable/eliminate the short data section to achieve the same.

the predicate registers. Even though the ITLB and DTLB interrupts
happen often enough, this bug didn't do much harm. The reason
is that the interrupt handlers only modify p1 and since this is
a preserved (callee-saved) register it is hardly used in code
generated by the compiler. Compilers use scratch registers by
default. Changing the interrupt handlers to use p6 (ie a scratch
register) proved that the bug was in fact fatal.
o Replace KSTACK_PAGES with pages on panic() in pmap_new_thread(),
o Fix style bugs in adjacent code,
o Use NULL instead of 0 for pointers,
o Save the virtual kstack address if we create an alternate
kstack because 1) we can derive the physical (RR7) address
from it and 2) we need the virtual address for contigfree()
in pmap_dispose_thread(). Thus td_altkstack saves
td_md.md_kstackvirt.

ia64_tpa. This solves the inclusion ordering issue in ddb/db_watch.c
o Add typedefs for gid_t, off_t, pid_t, and uid_t in the non-standards

o Add struct iovec (also defined in <sys/uio.h>).
o Add visibility conditionals to avoid defining non-standard
extentions in the standards case.
o Change spelling of some types so they work without including

int64 -> __int64, caddr_t -> char *)
o Add comments about missing restrict type-qualifiers and missing

the locking of the proc lock after the goto to done1 to avoid locking
the lock in an error case just so we can turn around and unlock it.
- Move the exec_setregs() stuff out from under the proc lock and after
the p_args stuff. This allows exec_setregs() to be able to sleep or
write things out to userland, etc. which ia64 does.

So do GEOM. Not a pretty sight.
Take all the interesting stuff out of GEOM::disk_create(), and leave just
the creation of the fake dev_t. Schedule the topology munging to happen
in the g_event thread with g_call_me().
This makes disk_create() pretty lock-agnostic, almost lock-atheist.

vcanrecycle to check a free vnode's availability. If it is
available, vcanrecycle returns an error code of zero and the
vnode in question locked. The getnewvnode routine then used
to call vn_start_write with the V_NOWAIT flag. If the filesystem
was suspended while taking a snapshot, the vn_start_write would
fail but getnewvnode would fail to unlock the vnode, instead
leaving it locked on the freelist. The result would be that the
vnode would be locked forever and would eventually hang the
system with a race to the root when it was attempted to recycle
it. This fix moves the vn_start_write check into vcanrecycle
where it will properly unlock the vnode if it is unavailable
for recycling due to filesystem suspension.

sched_lock. This means that we no longer access p_limit in mi_switch()
and the p_limit pointer can be protected by the proc lock.
- Remove PRS_ZOMBIE check from CPU limit test in mi_switch(). PRS_ZOMBIE
processes don't call mi_switch(), and even if they did there is no longer
the danger of p_limit being NULL (which is what the original zombie check
was added for).
- When we bump the current processes soft CPU limit in ast(), just bump the
private p_cpulimit instead of the shared rlimit. This fixes an XXX for
some value of fix. There is still a (probably benign) bug in that this
code doesn't check that the new soft limit exceeds the hard limit.

Whenever doing a copy-on-write check, first look in the list of
initially allocated blocks to see if it is there. If so, no further
check is needed. If not, fall through and do the full check. This
change eliminates one of two known deadlocks caused by snapshots.
Handling the second deadlock will be the subject of another check-in.
This change also reduces the cost of the copy-on-write check by
speeding up the verification of frequently checked blocks.

in specific situations. The owner thread must be blocked, and the
borrower can not proceed back to user space with the borrowed KSE.
The borrower will return the KSE on the next context switch where
teh owner wants it back. This removes a lot of possible
race conditions and deadlocks. It is consceivable that the
borrower should inherit the priority of the owner too.
that's another discussion and would be simple to do.
Also, as part of this, the "preallocatd spare thread" is attached to the
thread doing a syscall rather than the KSE. This removes the need to lock
the scheduler when we want to access it, as it's now "at hand".
DDB now shows a lot mor info for threaded proceses though it may need
some optimisation to squeeze it all back into 80 chars again.

Upcalls are now "bound" threads, but "KSE Lending" now means that
other completing syscalls can be completed using that KSE before the upcall
finally makes it back to the UTS. (getting threads OUT OF THE KERNEL is
one of the highest priorities in the KSE system.) The upcall when it happens
will present all the completed syscalls to the KSE for selection.
