prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).
Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)
Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.
Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.
Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.
This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.

to lose a register in PIC mode anymore (we use %rip-relative addressing).
- update for C register argument passing conventions.
- convert 32 bit to 64 bit register sizes etc.
Note that the syscall instruction clobbers %rcx, which is inconvenient
because it is the fourth syscall argument, so we use %r10 (another scratch
register) for the 4th syscall arg instead (I picked %r10 to be the same as
NetBSD). int 0x80 is still possible though, and it uses %rcx as usual.
Note that the syscall style syscall does *NOT* preserve all the registers,
unlike int 0x80. We do not preserve the scratch registers except for
%rdi and %rsi. int 0x80 does preserve everything but the return values.

not save (restore) the global pointer (GP) in the jmpbuf in setjmp
(longjmp) because it's not needed in general. GP is considered a
scratch register at callsites and hence is always restored after a
call (when it's possible that the call resolves to a symbol in a
different loadmodule; otherwise GP does not have to be saved and
restored at all), including calls to setjmp/longjmp. There's just
one problem with this now that we use setjmp/longjmp for context
switching: A new context must have GP defined properly for the
thread's entry point. This means that we need to put GP in the
jmpbuf and consequently that we have to restore is in longjmp.
This automaticly requires us to save it as well.

the J_SIG0 field. While here, rename J_SIG0 to J_SIGSET and
remove J_SIG1. The main reason for this change is that the
128-bit sigset_t is now aligned on a 16-byte boundary, which
allows us to use 16-byte atomic loads and stores on CPUs that
support it. The removal of J_SIG1 is done to avoid confusion:
it is never accessed and should not be. Renaming J_SIG0 to
J_SIGSET is the icing on the cake that's better done now than
later.

BTW, for old formulae seed->first value correlation is not so monotonically
increased as with other Linear Congruential Generators of this type only
becase arithmetic overflow happens. But overflow affects distribution
and lower bits very badly, as many articles says, such type of overflow
not improves PRNG.
So, monotonically increased seed->first value correlation problem remains...
