Until now, the ptrace syscall was implemented as a wrapper that called
various functions in procfs depending on which ptrace operation was
requested. Most of these functions were themselves wrappers around
procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs(), with only some extra error checks,
which weren't necessary in the ptrace case anyway.
This commit moves procfs_rwmem() from procfs_mem.c into sys_process.c
(renaming it to proc_rwmem() in the process), and implements ptrace()
directly in terms of procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs() instead of
having it fake up a struct uio and then call procfs_do{,db,fp}regs().
It also moves the prototypes for procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs()
and proc_rwmem() from proc.h to ptrace.h, and marks all procfs files
except procfs_machdep.c as "optional procfs" instead of "standard".

o Sanitize the shm*, sem* and msg* syscalls.
o Make a first attempt to implement the linux_sysctl syscall. At this

it tells us when we need to add additional sysctls :-)
o Bump the kenel version up to 2.4.2 (this is not the same as the

o Implement new syscalls, of which most are specific to i386. Our

- Implement the 32-bit uid_t and gid_t bases syscalls.
- Implement a couple of 64-bit file size/offset bases syscalls.

the Linux kernel has prefixed the syscall with 'osf_' and has
provided special implementations for it. Otherwise mark the
syscall as LINUX by default. Some of the LINUX syscalls remain
marked as BSD or POSIX.
o Rename syscalls so they match the names used in the Linux kernel.
Also, provide more accurate prototypes. This generally improves

but it's better than the buggy behavior we have now. If we contigmalloc()
buffers in bus_dmamem_alloc(), then we must configfree() them in
bus_dmamem_free(). Trying to free() them is wrong, and will cause
a panic (at least, it does on the alpha.)

to see if it was malloc()ed first" bug. In bus_dmamap_create(), one of
two things can happen: either we need to allocate a special map due to
some manner of bounce buffering requirement, or we can DMA a buffer
in place. On the x86 platform, the "in place" case results in
bus_dmamap_create() returning a dmamap of NULL. The bus_dmamap_destroy()
routine later checks for NULL and won't bother free()ing the map if
it detects this condition.
But on the alpha, we don't use NULL, we use a statically allocated map
called nobounce_dmamap(). Unfortunately, bus_dmamap_destroy() does not
handle the condition where we attempt to destroy such a map: it tries
to free() the dmamap, which causes a panic.
Fix: test that map != &nobounce_dmamap before trying to free() it.
With this fix, my busdma-ified if_sis driver works on the alpha. I'm

into unsafe places, which is what I wanted to avoid in the first place.)

John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion

The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.

__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the

NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.

change_egid()
change_ruid()
change_rgid()

In each case, the call now acts on a credential not a process, and as
such no longer requires more complicated process locking/etc. They
now assume the caller will do any necessary allocation of an
exclusive credential reference. Each is commented to document its
reference requirements.

o Remove lots of (p_pcred==NULL) checks.
o Add an XXX to authorization code in nfs_lock.c, since it's

o Simplify posix4 authorization code to require only credentials, not

CANSIGIO(), needs to be updated to use the p_cansignal() and
p_cansched() centralized authorization routines, as they currently
do not take into account some desirable restrictions that are handled

similar authorization instances.

- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's. The IPI API's from
machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
