than a review, this was a nice puzzle.
This is supposed to be binary and source compatible with older
applications that access the old FreeBSD-style three arguments to a
signal handler.
Except those applications that access hidden signal handler arguments
bejond the documented third one. If you have applications that do,
please let me know so that we take the opportunity to provide the
functionality they need in a documented manner.
Also except application that use 'struct sigframe' directly. You need
to recompile gdb and doscmd. `make world` is recommended.
Example program that demonstrates how SA_SIGINFO and old-style FreeBSD
handlers (with their three args) may be used in the same process is at
http://www3.cons.org/tmp/fbsd-siginfo.c
Programs that use the old FreeBSD-style three arguments are easy to
change to SA_SIGINFO (although they don't need to, since the old style
will still work):
Old args to signal handler:
void handler_sn(int sig, int code, struct sigcontext *scp)
New args:
void handler_si(int sig, siginfo_t *si, void *third)
where:
old:code == new:second->si_code
old:scp == &(new:si->si_scp) /* Passed by value! */
The latter is also pointed to by new:third, but accessing via
si->si_scp is preferred because it is type-save.
FreeBSD implementation notes:
- This is just the framework to make the interface POSIX compatible.
For now, no additional functionality is provided. This is supposed
to happen now, starting with floating point values.
- We don't use 'sigcontext_t.si_value' for now (POSIX meant it for
realtime-related values).
- Documentation will be updated when new functionality is added and
the exact arguments passed are determined. The comments in
sys/signal.h are meant to be useful.

behavior slightly.
If machine/bus.h is included, but neither bus_memio.h nor bus_pio.h
are included, then behave as if both were included.
This won't change existing drivers, all of which include one or more
of bus_{p,mem}io.h, but will allow drivers from other systems to come
over with fewer changes. I freely admit that this might not be
optimal for some drivers, but those drivers can be optimized for
FreeBSD after the initial bringup happens.
Without the change, there is a bug that preclude drivers from
compiling with strange warning/errors.
I've been running this here for a while now w/o ill effects.

automatically hacks on the active copy of the IDT if f00f_hack()
has changed it. This also allows simplifications in setidt().
This fixes breakage of FP exception handling by rev.1.55 of
sys/kernel.h. FP exceptions were sent to npx.c's probe handlers
because npx.c "restored" the old handlers to the wrong copy of the
IDT. The SYSINIT for f00f_hack() was purposely run quite late to
avoid problems like this, but it is bogusly associated with the
SYSINIT for proc0 so it was moved with the latter.

Renaming of many assembler labels is avoided by declaring by declaring
the labels that need to be visible to gprof as having type "function"
and depending on the elf version of gprof being zealous about discarding
the others. A few type declarations are still missing, mainly for SMP.

- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

In particular, replace the unused field pmap::pm_flag by pmap::pm_active,
which is a bit mask representing which processors have the pmap activated.

Also, eliminate an unnecessary memory reference from cpu_switch()

put it, just like on the Alpha. It was wrong to load it at the
fixed address 0x08000000. That should only be done if the dynamic
linker is an executable (not a shared object) with a specific load
address encoded in the object file itself.
This fixes the recent breakage in the Linux emulator.
to an architecture-specific value defined in <machine/elf.h>. This
solves problems on large-memory systems that have a high value for
MAXDSIZ.
The load address is controlled by a new macro ELF_RTLD_ADDR(vmspace).
On the i386 it is hard-wired to 0x08000000, which is the standard
SVR4 location for the dynamic linker.
On the Alpha, the dynamic linker is loaded MAXDSIZ bytes beyond
the start of the program's data segment. This is the same place
a userland mmap(0, ...) call would put it, so it ends up just below
all the shared libraries. The rationale behind the calculation is
that it allows room for the data segment to grow to its maximum
possible size.
These changes have been tested on the i386 for several months
without problems. They have been tested on the Alpha as well,
though not for nearly as long. I would like to merge the changes
into 3.1 within a week if no problems have surfaced as a result of
them.
Sun implemented iBCS2 compatibility on Solaris >= 2.6: The emulator
runs in user-mode, patching the LDT so that client programs making
syscalls through the old iBCS2 call gate get handled by the emulator
process. Unemulated syscalls therefore need their own call-gate that
bypasses the emulator. Sun chose LDT entry 4 to implement this, which
is what we've been using as LUDATA_SEL, so we need to change LUDATA_SEL
if we want to run Solaris executables.
