dump using mechanically generated/extracted debugging output rather than
a simple memory dump. Current sources of debugging output are:
- DDB output capture buffer, if there is captured output to save
- Kernel message buffer
- Kernel configuration, if included in kernel
- Kernel version string
- Panic message
Textdumps are stored in swap/dump partitions as with regular dumps, but
are laid out as ustar files in order to allow multiple parts to be stored
as a stream of sequentially written blocks. Blocks are written out in
reverse order, as the size of a textdump isn't known a priori. As with
regular dumps, they will be extracted using savecore(8).
One new DDB(4) command is added, "textdump", which accepts "set",
"unset", and "status" arguments. By default, normal kernel dumps are
generated unless "textdump set" is run in order to schedule a textdump.
It can be canceled using "textdump unset" to restore generation of a
normal kernel dump.
Several sysctls exist to configure aspects of textdumps;
debug.ddb.textdump.pending can be set to check whether a textdump is
pending, or set/unset in order to control whether the next kernel dump
will be a textdump from userspace.
While textdumps don't have to be generated as a result of a DDB script
run automatically as part of a kernel panic, this is a particular useful
way to use them, as instead of generating a complete memory dump, a
simple transcript of an automated DDB session can be captured using the
DDB output capture and textdump facilities. This can be used to
generate quite brief kernel bug reports rich in debugging information
but not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely synchronized
source code. Most textdumps I generate are less than 100k including
the full message buffer. Using textdumps with an interactive debugging
session is also useful, with capture being enabled/disabled in order to
record some but not all of the DDB session.

to identify textdumps in the swap/dump partition. While textdumps
aren't really an architecture, they are architecture-neutral and so
don't really correspond to any existing architecture.
Define a version number for textdumps, KERNELDUMP_TEXT_VERSION, of 1.

managed from userspace. It is largely a wrapper for sysctl()
calls, but because the sysctls for adding and removing scripts
are awkward to use directly, this provides an easier-to-use
interface.

define a set of named scripts. Each script consists of a list of DDB
commands separated by ";"s that will be executed verbatim. No higher
level language constructs, such as branching, are provided for:
scripts are executed by sequentially injecting commands into the DDB
input buffer.
Four new commands are present in DDB: "run" to run a specific script,
"script" to define or print a script, "scripts" to list currently
defined scripts, and "unscript" to delete a script, modeled on shell
alias commands. Scripts may also be manipulated using sysctls in the
debug.ddb.scripting MIB space, although users will prefer to use the
soon-to-be-added ddb(8) tool for usability reasons.
Scripts with certain names are automatically executed on various DDB
events, such as entering the debugger via a panic, a witness error,
watchdog, breakpoint, sysctl, serial break, etc, allowing customized
handling.

A new DDB command, "capture", is added, which accepts arguments "on", "off",
"reset", and "status".
A new DDB sysctl tree, debug.ddb.capture, is added, which can be used to

From the original PR:
I've observed that linux apps running under the linuxulator
have a habit of leaving behind shared memory segments which
are unused, but which eventually cause the system to run
out of free segments and these apps will stop working.
ipcrm(1) currently only allows removal of unused message
queues, shared memory segments and semaphores on an individual
basis, or those having a matching (non-zero) key. However
it would often be convenient to just do a complete cleanup
of everything, usually as root.

The snp_target == NULL implies the snp_tty == NULL. Remove the code
that is put under snp_target == NULL and snp_tty != NULL clause.
In snpclose(), do the snp_detach() before scheduling the snp device
destruction. Otherwise, after the return from snpclose(), the snp
device is already removed from the snp_list, but tty is still in
snooped state. Any attempt to do i/o on such tty cause panic because
ttytosnp() returns NULL.

o BSD disklabels have relative offsets. Even for the BSD in MBR slice
setup, except when the mbroffset ioctl is supported. Since we don't
support that ioctl, bsdlabel(8) expects relative offsets. So, when
reading an existing disklabel, correct for disklabels that mistakenly
have the mbroffset offsets.
o Don't take the geometry seriously, because it's untrustworthy. We do
expect the numbers to be within range. This means that the secperunit
field will not be computed from secpercyl and ncyls, but simply is
the mediasize in sectors.
o Don't enforce partitions to be aligned to track boundaries. The
default label, constructed by bsdlabel(8), puts partition a at offset
BBSIZE bytes, which commonly means sector 16.
"build dependencies" field is 5,108 characters which overflows the
length of the junk buffer by a teeny bit. This whole section needs
much more error checking but for now just completely ignore stuff

use in the process.
