ed0010ed09 Document the support in the kernel for hardware debug registers on the
ix86 platform which allows for hardware watchpoints, etc...

664a31e496 Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot).  This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago.  More commits to come.

5206bca10a Enable vmspace sharing on SMP. Major changes are,
- %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.

4fe88fe637 Restore support for executing BSD/OS binaries on the i386 by passing
the address of the ps_strings structure to the process via %ebx.
For other kinds of binaries, %ebx is still zeroed as before.

1a291e0cd4 Add new functions fill_fpregs() and set_fpregs(), like fill_regs()
and set_regs() but for the floating point register state.  The code
is stolen from procfs_machdep.c, and moved out of there into
machdep.c.

These functions are needed for generating ELF core dumps.

7b3c84247b Preserve %fs and %gs across context switches. This has a relatively low
cost since it is only done in cpu_switch(), not for every exception.
The extra state is kept in the pcb, and handled much like the npx state,
with similar deficiencies (the state is not preserved across signal
handlers, and error handling loses state).

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

The following patch adds the addr argument to signal handlers.

The kernel with the patch is no more and no less in compliance or in
violation of POSIX and ANSI C than the kernel before the patch.

The added functionality this addr argument provides is quite useful.  It
enables an entire class of algorithms which use mprotect to trace memory
references.  Beside garbage collectors, I have heard of this technique being
applied to debuggers and profilers.  The only benchmarking I've performed is
using akcl to compile maxima:  without the kernel patch, it takes 7 hours to
compile maxima, while with stratified garbage collection, it only takes 50
minutes.

Basically, I can't think of a reason not to add the addr argument and there
is a compelling need for it.

If you find the patch acceptable, please let me know so I can send my
FreeBSD akcl config files to wfs for inclusion in the core akcl release.
The old 386BSD config files there won't work on either NetBSD or FreeBSD.

moving i386/i386/cons.h to machine/cons.h where it belongs.
