stolen from the ia64/ia32 code (indeed there was a repocopy), but I've
redone the MD parts and added and fixed a few essential syscalls. It
is sufficient to run i386 binaries like /bin/ls, /usr/bin/id (dynamic)
and p4. The ia64 code has not implemented signal delivery, so I had
to do that.
Before you say it, yes, this does need to go in a common place. But
we're in a freeze at the moment and I didn't want to risk breaking ia64.
I will sort this out after the freeze so that the common code is in a
common place.
On the AMD64 side, this required adding segment selector context switch
support and some other support infrastructure. The %fs/%gs etc code
is hairy because loading %gs will clobber the kernel's current MSR_GSBASE
setting. The segment selectors are not used by the kernel, so they're only
changed at context switch time or when changing modes. This still needs
to be optimized.

a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to
attempt to get a stable base to start from. There is a lot missing still.
Worth noting:
- The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code. pmap uses
a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4
levels of page tables yet.
- It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the
i386 loader. This simplifies locore.s greatly.
- There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have
not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C
versions of (bcopy etc).
- It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument
passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction
for syscalls. int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not.
- I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple
of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed
%rcx register in the syscall instruction). As a result, there is not a
lot of similarity. I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to
get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.
not removing tabs before "__P((", and not outdenting continuation lines
to preserve non-KNF lining up of code with parentheses. Switch to KNF
formatting and/or rewrap the whole prototype in some cases.
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.
0x40 and then access data stored in real-mode segment 0x40, even when
called in protected mode. Microsoft unfortunately coddle these individuals,
and so must we if we want to run their code.
This change works around GPFs in some APM and PnP BIOS implementations.
Obtained from: Linux
- Add support for calling 32-bit code in other segments
- Add support for calling 16-bit protected mode code
Update APM to use this facility.

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.
Problem reported and fix tested by: Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org>
- %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.

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.

There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
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.
with this quite a while ago when somebody reported a BSD/OS 2.1 binary
that wouldn't run. I'm pretty sure they tried it and I'm pretty sure
they mentioned to me that the patch worked.
Partly support BDE_DEBUGGER. Still broken by conflict with APM. Does
nothing if BDE_DEBUGGER is not defined.
Clean up prototypes and data declarations. Declare most of the segment
functions that are implemented in support.s. Make data private in
machdep.c if possible.
Parenthesize expressions in macros properly!
