Turns a double panic back to a single panic :-/
Approved by: re@ (jhb)
Thus, treat all page faults while in a critical section as fatal rather
than just those that occur with a non-empty spinlocks list. All such page
faults are fatal anyways. Calling trap_fatal() earlier increases the
chances of getting more useful panic messages and a possible DDB prompt.

failt and data access fault install the PTE in question into
the VHPT table. However, a post-increment was missing and we
wrote the raw PTE data into the pagesize/access key field.
This leaves a corrupt VHPT entry.

o Whitespace fixes.
a mutex. The only volatile chain operations are insertion and deletion
but since updating an existing PTE also updates the VHPT entry itself,
and we have the VHPT mutex in both other cases, we also lock when we
update an existing PTE even though no chain operation is involved.
Note that we perform the insertion and deletion careful enough that
we don't need to lock traversals. If we need to lock traversals, we
also need to lock from the exception handler, which we can't without
creating a trapframe.
We're now able to withstand a -j8 buildworld. More work is needed to
withstand Murphy fields. In other words: we still have a bogon...

memory accesses a properly ordered. Tag invalidation must happen
first so that the hardware VHPT walker will not be able to match
this entry while we're updating it and we have to make sure the new
new tag gets written only after the PTE is completely updated.

previously committed cleared pcb_current_pmap prior to changing
the region registers, but that was removed before committing.
Since we don't normally (at all?) pass a NULL pointer, the bug
was mostly harmless. Fix it while I'm here...
I'm here because we need to have data serialization after writing
to the region registers. Not doing so was likely the cause of the
hangs we were experiencing. General exceptions in cpu_switch may
also be caused by the lack of serialization.

switching user regions (region 0-4) with schedlock. Avoid unnecessary
recursion on schedlock by moving the core functionality to another
function (pmap_switch()) where we assert schedlock is held. Turn
pmap_install() into a wrapper that grabs schedlock. This minimizes
the number of callsites that need to be changed.
Since we already have schedlock in cpu_switch() and cpu_throw(),
have them call pmap_switch() directly. These were also the only two
calls to pmap_install() outside pmap.c, so make pmap_install() static
and remove its prototype from pmap.h

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.

kernel_vm_end in pmap_bootstrap. Don't delay the initialization until
we need to grow the kernel VM space. This BTW happens twice before
we enter either single- or multi-user mode. Don't adjust kernel_vm_end
while growing based on whether the KPT contains a non-NULL entry. We
trust kernel_vm_end to be correct and we make sure it's still correct
after growing.
Define virtual_avail and virtual_end in terms of VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS
and VM_MAX_KERNEL_ADDRESS (resp). Don't hardcode region knowledge.
o Limit the size of the region ID map to 64KB. This gives a bitmap
that is large enough to keep track of 2^19 numbers. The minimal map
size is 32KB. The reason we limit the map size is that processor
models may have implemented a 24-bit region ID, which would give
a 2MB bitmap while the maximum number of allocations is always
less than PID_MAX*5, which is less than 2^19.
o Allocate all region IDs up-front. The slight downside of reserving
more RIDs then a process needs (3 for ia64 native and 1 for ia32)
is preferable over the call to pmap_ensure_rid() where RIDs are
allocated on demand. On SMP systems this may lead to a race
condition.
o When allocating a region ID, don't use arc4random(). We're not
interested in randomness or uniform distribution across the
spectrum. We only need uniqueness. Random numbers may easily
collide when the number of allocated RIDs is high, creating a
possibly unbounded retry rate.
