executables. The goal here, not yet accomplished, is to let the e500 kernel
run under QEMU by setting KERNBASE to something that fits in low memory and
then having the kernel relocate itself at runtime.
This port failed to gain traction and probably only a couple Wii consoles
ran FreeBSD all the way to single user mode with an md(4). IPC
support was never implemented, so it was impossible to use any peripheral
Any further development, if any, will happen at https://github.com/rpaulo/wii.

option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].
[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

This is the missing piece for FreeBSD/Wii, but there's still a lot of
work ahead. We have to reset the MMU in locore before continuing
the boot process because we don't know how the boot loaders might
have setup the BATs. We also disable the PCI BAT because there's no PCI
bus on the Wii.
Thanks to Nathan Whitehorn and Peter Grenhan for their help.

There is one known issue: Some probes will display an error message along the
lines of: "Invalid address (0)"
I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different
binaries on 32-bit. I only compiled 64-bit, did not run it, but I don't expect
problems without the modules loaded. Volunteers are welcome.

relative to the start address (unless the start address is 0, which is
not the case).
This is currently not a problem because all powerpc architectures are
using loader(8) which passes metadata to the kernel including the
correct `endkernel' address. If we don't use loader(8), register 4
and 5 will have the size of the kernel ELF file, not its end address.
We fix that simply by adding `kernel_text' to `end' to compute
`endkernel'.

sintrcnt/sintrnames which are symbols containing the size of the 2
tables.
- For amd64/i386 remove the storage of intr* stuff from assembly files.
This area can be widely improved by applying the same to other
architectures and likely finding an unified approach among them and
move the whole code to be MI. More work in this area is expected to
happen fairly soon.
No MFC is previewed for this patch.

instead of a PCPU field for curthread. This averts a race on SMP systems
with a high interrupt rate where the thread looking up the value of
curthread could be preempted and migrated between obtaining the PCPU
pointer and reading the value of pc_curthread, resulting in curthread being
observed to be the current thread on the thread's original CPU. This played
merry havoc with the system, in particular with mutexes. Many thanks to
jhb for helping me work this one out.
Note that Book-E is in principle susceptible to the same problem, but has
not been modified yet due to lack of Book-E hardware.

Renovate and improve the AIM Open Firmware support:
- Add RTAS (Run-Time Abstraction Services) support, found on all IBM systems
and some Apple ones
- Improve support for 32-bit real mode Open Firmware systems
- Pull some more OF bits over from the AIM directory
- Fix memory detection on IBM LPARs and systems with more than one /memory
node (by andreast@)
Kernel sources for 64-bit PowerPC, along with build-system changes to keep
32-bit kernels compiling (build system changes for 64-bit kernels are
coming later). Existing 32-bit PowerPC kernel configurations must be
updated after this change to specify their architecture.
