sure when things got so bad (JHB says preemption worked just fine for months
before the AlbertVM commit). Even post DillionVM locking commit, Miatas
(DEC Personal Workstations) are very fragile -- not making it thru a world
build. With this patch it does.
Those hacking on SMPng will want to locally back out this commit. The rest
of us will want to run with it until the SMPng guys figure out the problem(s).

on Alpha 4100s.
Basically, if you're halting or you're rebooting, you should
tell all other processors to halt first. Define IPI_HALT- IPI_STOP
is not what we want for this purpose, which will call prom_halt(0)
on receipt.
The processor running the halt or reboot wil send an IPI_HALT to all
other processors, delay a bit, then continue to do what what it was
planning on doing (prom_halt({0|1})).
By default, we will end up with a duplicate set of hints if people have
a properly populated /boot/device.hints. So for now, remove the hints
here until Peter revisits the new hints processing from mid-June that
broke Alpha booting.
'dwatch'. The new commands install hardware watchpoints if supported
by the architecture and if there are enough registers to cover the
desired memory area.

Also removed some spl's and added some VM mutexes, but they are not actually
used yet, so this commit does not really make any operational changes
to the system.
vm_page.c relates to vm_page_t manipulation, including high level deactivation,
activation, etc... vm_pageq.c relates to finding free pages and aquiring
exclusive access to a page queue (exclusivity part not yet implemented).
And the world still builds... :-)
(this commit is just the first stage). Also add various GIANT_ macros to
formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal
fashion. These macros will allow us to test fine-grained locks to a degree
before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.
.cvsignore file for [A-Za-z]* to keep these directories around rather
than waste a file on .keepme. This should also make people's built

- Add a KTR_TRAP tracepoint to trap() on the alpha that displays the
contents of a0, a1, and a2 to make debugging of nested traps that
panic before displaying any useful output easier.

- Use db_printf() instead of printf().
- Clean up decode_syscall() to use regular if-then-else rather than goto's.
- Use the same method of parsing PID's for per-process traces as the x86
code does: that is, if the address passed in is not a valid kernel
address, treat it is a decimal pid.
- If the pid of the current process is specified, fall back to using the
"default" parameters for the trace as curproc's pcb is not valid at this
point.

cpu_mp_start() is never called, mp_ncpus will have a non-zero value.
This prevents systat from dying with an arithmatic exception caused
by a divide-by-zero error on UP alphas running a GENERIC kernel.
Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.
The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).
The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.
For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.
For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.
NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.
The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.
linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.
