this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main
thread of a process via the linked list of threads rather than
assuming that it is embedded in the process. It IS still embeded there
but remove all teh code that assumes that in preparation for the next commit
which will actually move it out.

from old signal handlers. This is simpler and faster, and fixes (new)
sigreturn(2) when %eip in the new signal context happens to match the
magic value (0x1d516). 0x1d516 is below the default ELF text section,
so this probably never broken anything in practice.
locore.s:
In addition, don't build the signal trampoline for old signal handlers
when it is not used.
alpha:
Not fixed, but seems to be even less broken in practice due to more
advanced magic. A false match occurs for register #32 in mc_regs[].
Since there is no hardware register #32, a false match is only possible
for direct calls to sigreturn(2) that happen to have the magic number
in the spare mc_regs[32] field.
some arches and the syscall table is machine-independent. It was
(bogusly) conditional on COMPAT_43, so this usually makes no difference.
ia64: in addition:
- replace the bogus cloned comment before osigreturn() by a correct one.
osigreturn() is just a stub fo ia64's.
- fix the formatting of cloned comment before sigreturn().
- fix the return code. use nosys() instead of returning ENOSYS to get
the same semantics as if the syscall is not in the syscall table.
Generating SIGSYS is actually correct here.
- fix style bugs.
powerpc: copy the cleaned up ia64 stub. This mainly fixes a bogus comment.
sparc64: copy the cleaned up the ia64 stub, since there was no stub before.
traps on the first instruction of signal handlers.
In trap.c:syscall(), fake a trace trap if the single-step flag was set
on entry to the kernel, not if it will be set on exit from the kernel.
This fixes bogus trace traps after the last instruction of signal handlers.
gdb-4.18 (the version in FreeBSD) still has problems with the program in
the PR. These seem to be due to bugs in gdb and not in FreeBSD, and are
fixed in gdb-5.1 (the distribution version).

MFC after: 1 day
- The MI portions of struct globaldata have been consolidated into a MI
struct pcpu. The MD per-CPU data are specified via a macro defined in
machine/pcpu.h. A macro was chosen over a struct mdpcpu so that the
interface would be cleaner (PCPU_GET(my_md_field) vs.
PCPU_GET(md.md_my_md_field)).
- All references to globaldata are changed to pcpu instead. In a UP kernel,
this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name
came from. In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each
CPU outside of the context of debuggers. This also included combining
machine/globaldata.h and machine/globals.h into machine/pcpu.h.
- The pointer to the thread using the FPU on i386 was renamed from
npxthread to fpcurthread to be identical with other architectures.
- Make the show pcpu ddb command MI with a MD callout to display MD
fields.
- The globaldata_register() function was renamed to pcpu_init() and now
init's MI fields of a struct pcpu in addition to registering it with
the internal array and list.
- A pcpu_destroy() function was added to remove a struct pcpu from the
internal array and list.
Tested on: alpha, i386

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

level implementation stuff out of machine/globaldata.h to avoid exposing
UPAGES to lots more places. The end result is that we can double
the kernel stack size with 'options UPAGES=4' etc.
This is mainly being done for the benefit of a MFC to RELENG_4 at some
point. -current doesn't really need this so much since each interrupt
runs on its own kstack.
are a really nasty interface that should have been killed long ago
when 'ptrace(PT_[SG]ETREGS' etc came along. The entity that they
operate on (struct user) will not be around much longer since it
is part-per-process and part-per-thread in a post-KSE world.
gdb does not actually use this except for the obscure 'info udot'
command which does a hexdump of as much of the child's 'struct user'
as it can get. It carries its own #defines so it doesn't break
compiles.
(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.
- Replace some very poorly thought out API hacks that should have been
fixed a long while ago.
- Provide some much more flexible search functions (resource_find_*())
- Use strings for storage instead of an outgrowth of the rather
inconvenient temporary ioconf table from config(). We already had a
fallback to using strings before malloc/vm was running anyway.
- pc98_getmemsize() function returns available memory size under 16MB.
- getmemsize() function is merged from PC-AT's one.

been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made
to support Alpha SMP.
- 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.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.
