not look like the prerequisites to fill it in properly will be in the tree
for the upcoming release, but it's mostly done, so there is no need for these
to stay around to remind us.
a true scratch register. This change and future re-allocations will
eventually result in code that we can unwind to to get the preserved
registers of the process. This of course means that we cannot trash
them while saving the process context.
While re-allocating, remove the register aliases. Abstraction is in
this case disadvanteous.
have f16-f31 as part of the context. The PCB has been reorganized to
better match how we save and restore the (preserved) registers. This
commit also moves the context restoriation to its own function (named
pcb_restore), as we did with pcb_save.
Only minimal effort has been put in writing optimal assembly. The
expectation is that there will be more rounds of changes.
from all low-level bus space support functions. There's no need
to actually force the read/write to be accepted by the platform
before we can do anything else. We still have the mf instruction
there, which forces ordering. This too is not required given the
semantices of the bus space I/O functions, but it's not at all
clear to me if there are any poorly written device drivers that
depend on the strict ordering by the processor. The motto here is
to take small steps...
o Properly set the pointer to the counter for each interrupt and
update the intrnames table.
o Remove Alpha cruft from intrcnt.h.
o Create INTRNAME_LEN as the single entity that defines the width
of the names in the intrnames table (incl. terminatinf '\0').
This guarantees that loads and stores emitted before the fence are
made visible before the IPI becomes pended.
Remove the mf.a instruction after initiating the IPI. There's no
guarantee that the IPI becomes pended prior to subsequent reads or
writes. Even if there was a guarantee, it would mostly be without
any benefit.
handling clean and functional as 5.x evolves. This allows some of the
nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.
Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.
Tested on: i386, alpha, ia64. Compiled on sparc64 (a few days ago).

pointer to a dumperinfo instead of di. A brainfart, surely. This
bug went unnoticed for all this time because the pointer is only
used by buf_write() when it can write a completely filled buffer
to the dump device. This depends on the number of memory chunks
that needs to be dumped. This has apparently been low enough that
it has never happened up until this point.
for defining vectors. As a result, each vector will be a global
function with unwind directives to notify the unwinder that we're
in an interrupt handler. In the debugger this will show up something
like:
Debugger(0xe000000000a211d8, 0xe000000000748960) at Debugger+0x31
panic(0xe000000000a36858, 0xe0000000021d32d0, 0xe000000000ae42e8, ...
trap(0x14, 0x100000, 0xe0000000021d32d0, 0x0, 0xa0000000002095f0, ...

This is for the not-quite-ready signal/fpu abi stuff. It may not see
the light of day, but I'm certainly not going to be able to validate it
when getting shot in the foot due to syscall number conflicts.
execve_secure() system call, which permits a process to pass in a label
for a label change during exec. This permits SELinux to change the
label for the resulting exec without a race following a manual label
change on the process. Because this interface uses our general purpose
MAC label abstraction, we call it execve_mac(), and wrap our port of
SELinux's execve_secure() around it with appropriate sid mappings.

by using the linker hooks. Since these hooks are called for the
kernel as well, we don't need to deal with that with a special
SYSINIT. The initialization implicitly performed on the first
update of the unwind information is made explicit with a SYSINIT.
We now don't need the _ia64_unwind_{start|end} symbols.
The primary reason for this is to allow MD code to process machine
specific attributes, segments or sections in the ELF file and
update machine specific state accordingly. An immediate use of this
is in the ia64 port where unwind information is updated to allow
debugging and tracing in/across modules. Note that this commit
does not add the functionality to the ia64 port. See revision 1.9
of ia64/ia64/elf_machdep.c.

ACL configuration changes, this shouldn't result in different code paths
for file systems not explicitly configured for ACLs by the system
administrator. For UFS1, administrators must still recompile their
kernel to add support for extended attributes; for UFS2, it's sufficient
to enable ACLs using tunefs or at mount-time (tunefs preferred for
reliability reasons). UFS2, for a variety of reasons, including
performance and reliability, is the preferred file system for use with
ACLs.

were improperly relocated due to faulty logic in lookup_fdesc()
in elf_machdep.c. The symbol index (symidx) was bogusly used for
load modules other than the one the relocation applied to. This
resulted in bogus bindings and consequently runtime failures.
The fix is to use the symbol index only for the module being
relocated and to use the symbol name for look-ups in the
modules in the dependent list. As such, we need a function to
return the symbol name given the linker file and symbol index.
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.
as a trivial function that only calls ia64_tpa() and hence requires
the prototype of ia64_tpa(), but by defining pmap_kextract as
ia64_tpa. This solves the inclusion ordering issue in ddb/db_watch.c
NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.
