There's something that's been bugging me for a while, so I decided to fix it.
FreeBSD now will DTRT WRT DDB and DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), at least
in my opinion. The behavior change is such that:
1. Nothing changes when debugger_on_panic != 0.
2. When DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), if a panic occurs, the
machine will reboot. Also, if a trap occurs, the machine will
panic and reboot, unlike how it broke to DDB before. HOWEVER,
a trap inside DDB will not cause a panic, allowing full use
of DDB without having to worry about the machine being stuck
at a DDB prompt if something goes wrong during the day.
Patches for this behavior follow my signature, and it would
be a boon to anyone (like me) who uses DDB_UNATTENDED, but
actually wants the machine to panic on a trap (otherwise,
what's the use, if the machine causes a fatal trap rather than
a true panic, of debugger_on_panic?). The changes cause no
adverse behavior, but do involve two symbols becoming global

problem is worked around by using an interrupt gate for the page
fault handler. This code was originally made for NetBSD/pc98 by
Naofumi Honda <honda@kururu.math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp> and has already
been in PC98 tree. Because of this bug, trap_fatal cannot show
correct page fault address if %cr2 is obtained in this function.
Therefore, trap_fatal uses the value from trap() function.
- The trap handler always enables interruption when buggy application
or kernel code has disabled interrupts and then trapped. This code
was prepared by Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>.

- the smp_active sysctl now behaves differently. It's merely a 'true/false'

- bootstrap is a lot safer. Instead of sharing a statically compiled in

The extra state is kept in the pcb, and handled much like the npx state,

Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()
and allow the child to return up through the function call tree to return
to user mode - create a new execution context and have the new process
begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer
to each process's tss since the esp0 pointer is a 32 bit pointer, and the
sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.

them when swapping them out.

an i386tss to point to for the tss slot in the gdt, so we use a common
tss shared between all processes.
Note that this is going to break debugging until this series of commits
is finished. core dumps will change again too. :-( we really need
a more modern core dump format that doesn't depend on the pcb/upages.

Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:

2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
and not an entire entry.
7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
fork code from vm_glue. Pushed much of that code into
the machine dependent pmap module.
9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
already zeroed.
Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.) The VM code now
seldom uses splhigh.
Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
of objects with backing objects along with the already
existant condition of having a vnode. (If there is a backing
object, there will likely be a COW... With a COW, it isn't
necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)

I'm uncomfortable with the size of this commit, but it's too
inter-dependant to easily seperate out.
The main changes:
COMPAT_LINUX is *GONE*. Most of the code has been moved out of the i386
machine dependent section into the linux emulator itself. The int 0x80
syscall code was almost identical to the lcall 7,0 code and a minor tweak
allows them to both be used with the same C code. All kernels can now
just modload the lkm and it'll DTRT without having to rebuild the kernel
first. Like IBCS2, you can statically compile it in with "options LINUX".
A pile of new syscalls implemented, including getdents(), llseek(),
readv(), writev(), msync(), personality(). The Linux-ELF libraries want
to use some of these.
linux_select() now obeys Linux semantics, ie: returns the time remaining
of the timeout value rather than leaving it the original value.
Quite a few bugs removed, including incorrect arguments being used in
syscalls.. eg: mixups between passing the sigset as an int, vs passing
it as a pointer and doing a copyin(), missing return values, unhandled
cases, SIOC* ioctls, etc.
The build for the code has changed. i386/conf/files now knows how
to build linux_genassym and generate linux_assym.h on the fly.
Supporting changes elsewhere in the kernel:
The user-mode signal trampoline has moved from the U area to immediately
below the top of the stack (below PS_STRINGS). This allows the different
binary emulations to have their own signal trampoline code (which gets rid
of the hardwired syscall 103 (sigreturn on BSD, syslog on Linux)) and so
that the emulator can provide the exact "struct sigcontext *" argument to
the program's signal handlers.
The sigstack's "ss_flags" now uses SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK flags, which
have the same values as the re-used SA_DISABLE and SA_ONSTACK which are
intended for sigaction only. This enables the support of a SA_RESETHAND
flag to sigaction to implement the gross SYSV and Linux SA_ONESHOT signal
semantics where the signal handler is reset when it's triggered.
makesyscalls.sh no longer appends the struct sysentvec on the end of the
generated init_sysent.c code. It's a lot saner to have it in a seperate
file rather than trying to update the structure inside the awk script. :-)
At exec time, the dozen bytes or so of signal trampoline code are copied
to the top of the user's stack, rather than obtaining the trampoline code
the old way by getting a clone of the parent's user area. This allows
Linux and native binaries to freely exec each other without getting
trampolines mixed up.
Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish
overhead for merged cache.
Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant

Significantly speed up process forks.
Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause

overflows.
It sure would be nice if there was an unmapped page between the PCB and
the stack (and that the size of the stack was configurable!). With the
way things are now, the PCB will get clobbered before the double fault
handler gets control, making somewhat of a mess of things. Despite this,
it is still fairly easy to poke around in the overflowed stack to figure
out the cause.
