This is good enough to be able to run a RELENG_4 gdb binary against
a RELENG_4 application, along with various other tools (eg: 4.x gcore).
We use this at work.
ia32_reg.[ch]: handle the 32 bit register file format, used by ptrace,
procfs and core dumps.
procfs_*regs.c: vary the format of proc/XXX/*regs depending on the client
and target application.
procfs_map.c: Don't print a 64 bit value to 32 bit consumers, or their
sscanf fails. They expect an unsigned long.
imgact_elf.c: produce a valid 32 bit coredump for 32 bit apps.
sys_process.c: handle 32 bit consumers debugging 32 bit targets. Note
that 64 bit consumers can still debug 32 bit targets.
IA64 has got stubs for ia32_reg.c.
Known limitations: a 5.x/6.x gdb uses get/setcontext(), which isn't
implemented in the 32/64 wrapper yet. We also make a tiny patch to
gdb pacify it over conflicting formats of ld-elf.so.1.

tracing process to obtain information about the LWP that caused the
traced process to stop. Debuggers can use this information to select
the thread currently running on the LWP as the current thread.
The request has been made compatible with NetBSD for as much as
possible. This implementation differs from NetBSD in the following
ways:
1. The data argument is allowed to be smaller than the size of the
ptrace_lwpinfo structure known to the kernel, but not 0. This
is opposite to what NetBSD allows. The reason for this is that
we can extend the structure without affecting older binaries.
2. On NetBSD the tracing process is to set the pl_lwpid field to
the Id of the LWP it wants information of. We don't do that.
Our ptrace interface allows passing the LWP Id instead of the
PID. The tracing process is to set the PID to the LWP Id it
wants information of.
3. When the PID is actually the PID of the tracing process, this
request returns the information about the LWP that caused the
process to stop. This was the whole purpose of the request in
the first place.
When the traced process has exited, this request will return the
LWP Id 0, indicating that the process state is not the result of
an event specific to a LWP.
- ptrace_single_step() is no longer called with the proc lock held, so
don't try to unlock it and then relock it.
- Push Giant down into proc_rwmem() instead of forcing all the consumers
(including Alpha breakpoint support) to explicitly wrap calls to
proc_rwmem() with Giant.

ptrace_set_pc(), and cpu_ptrace() so that those functions are free to
acquire Giant, sleep, etc. We already do a PHOLD/PRELE around them so
that it is safe to sleep inside of these routines if necessary. This
allows ptrace() to be marked MP safe again as it no longer triggers lock
order reversals on Alpha.

zombies that init is unable to reap. This can occur when the parent
process sets its SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN. Fix a similar situation in the
PT_DETACH code.

check for permissions, do it for all requests, not the known requests.
Later when we actually service the request we deal with the invalid
requests we previously caught earlier.
This commit changes the behaviour of the ptrace(2) interface for
boundary cases such as an unknown request without proper permissions.
Previously we would return EINVAL. Now we return EBUSY or EPERM.
Platforms need to define __HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP when they have MD
requests. This makes the prototype of cpu_ptrace() visible and
introduces a call to this function for all requests greater or
equal to PT_FIRSTMACH.

In the particular case of ptrace(), this commit more-or-less reverts
revision 1.53 of sys_process.c, which appears to have been erroneous.

a reference to the containing object. The purpose of the reference
being to prevent the destruction of the object and an attempt to free
the wired page. (Wired pages can't be freed.) Unfortunately, this
approach does not work. Some operations, like fork(2) that call
vm_object_split(), can move the wired page to a difference object,
thereby making the reference pointless and opening the possibility
of the wired page being freed.
A solution is to use vm_page_hold() in place of vm_page_wire(). Held
pages can be freed. They are moved to a special hold queue until the
hold is released.

- Change sysctl_out_proc() to require that the process is locked when it

complex we can change sysctl_out_proc() to simply acquire the lock at
the very end and have the calling code drop the lock right after it
returns.

pmap_qremove. pmap_kenter is not safe to use in MI code because it is not
guaranteed to flush the mapping from the tlb on all cpus. If the process
in question is preempted and migrates cpus between the call to pmap_kenter
and pmap_kremove, the original cpu will be left with stale mappings in its
tlb. This is currently not a problem for i386 because we do not use PG_G on
SMP, and thus all mappings are flushed from the tlb on context switches, not
just user mappings. This is not the case on all architectures, and if PG_G
is to be used with SMP on i386 it will be a problem. This was committed by
peter earlier as part of his fine grained tlb shootdown work for i386, which
was backed out for other reasons.
