creating tf_addr in the trapframe. Reorganize the trap stubs so that
they consistently reserve the stack space and initialize any missing

synchronization primitives from inside DDB is generally a bad idea,
and in this case it frequently results in panics due to DDB commands
being executed from the sio fast interrupt context on a serial
console. Replace the locking with a note that a lack of locking
means that DDB may get see inconsistent views of the mount and vnode
lists, which could also result in a panic. More frequently,
though, this avoids a panic than causes it.

Correct reversed variable assignments.
Re-enable the call to _mutex_lock_backout(). This might
need revisiting once internal locking of mutex and cv is done.

Make state transitions of a thread on a mutex queue
atomic (with respect to other threads and signal handlers).
This includes:
o Introduce two functions to implement atomicity with respect
to other threads and signal handlers. Basically,
_thread_critical_enter() locks the calling thread and blocks
signals. _thread_critical_exit() unblocks signals and unlocks
the thread.
o Introduce two new functions:
get_muncontested() locks a mutex that is not owned by
another thread.
get_mcontested() places a thread on a contested mutex's
queue, taking care to use the _thread_critical_enter/exit
functions to protect thread state.
o Modify mutex_unlock_common() to also protect state transitions.
In this case it needs the cooperation of mutex_queue_deq(), which
must return with the thread locked and signals disabled *before*
it takes the thread off the queue.
Combine _pthread_mutex_lock() and _pthread_mutex_trylock()
into one function: mutex_lock_common(), that can handle
both cases. Its behaviour is controlled by an argument,
int nonblock, which if not zero means do not attempt
to acquire a contested mutex if the uncontested case fails.
BTW, when I write about contested and uncontested mutexes, I'm writing
about it from the application's point of view. I'm not writing about
internal locking of pthread_mutex->lock, which is achieved differently.
While internal mutex locking is mostly done, there's still a bit more
work left in this area.

value on entry and exit. This isn't as easy as it sounds because when
we recursively trap or interrupt, we have to avoid duplicating the
swapgs instruction or we end up back with the userland %gs. I implemented
this by testing TF_CS to see if we're coming from supervisor mode
already, and check for returning to supervisor. To avoid a race with
interrupts in the brief period after beginning executing the handler and
before the swapgs, convert all trap gates to interrupt gates, and reenable
interrupts immediately after the swapgs. I am not happy with this.
There are other possible ways to do this that should be investigated.
(eg: storing the GS.base MSR value in the trapframe)
Add some sysarch functions to let the userland code get to this.
