- p_sflag was mostly protected by PROC_LOCK rather than the PROC_SLOCK or
previously the sched_lock. These bugs have existed for some time.
- Allow swapout to try each thread in a process individually and then
swapin the whole process if any of these fail. This allows us to move
most scheduler related swap flags into td_flags.
- Keep ki_sflag for backwards compat but change all in source tools to
use the new and more correct location of P_INMEM.

It is similar to debug.kdb.trap, except for it tries to cause a page fault
via a call to an invalid pointer. This can highlight differences between
a fault on data access vs. a fault on code call some CPUs might have.

PCB in which the context of stopped CPUs is stored. To access this
PCB from KDB, we introduce a new define, called KDB_STOPPEDPCB. The
definition, when present, lives in <machine/kdb.h> and abstracts
where MD code saves the context. Define KDB_STOPPEDPCB on i386,
amd64, alpha and sparc64 in accordance to previous code.
intr_disable() and intr_restore() resp. Previously, critical
regions would have interrupts disabled, but that was changed.
Consequently, the debugger could run with interrupts enabled.
This could cause problems for the low-level console code where
received characters would trigger an interrupt that causes
the interrupt handler to read the character instead of the
cngetc() function.

these to ensure that crash dumps succeed from those two common failure
modes. This avoids the need for creating a 'panic' kld module.
IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI. If the kernel
option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled). This
includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of
being dependent on KDB_STOP_NMI. It works fine in both the NMI and
non-NMI cases.
a regular IPI vector, but this vector is blocked when interrupts are disabled.
With "options KDB_STOP_NMI" and debug.kdb.stop_cpus_with_nmi set, KDB will
send an NMI to each CPU instead. The code also has a context-stuffing
feature which helps ddb extract the state of processes running on the
stopped CPUs.
KDB_STOP_NMI is only useful with SMP and complains if SMP is not defined.
This feature only applies to i386 and amd64 at the moment, but could be
used on other architectures with the appropriate MD bits.

after the call to kdb_cpu_trap(). Ergo: kdb_cpu_trap() was moved too

attempt to IPI other cpus when entering the debugger in order to stop
them while in the debugger. The default remains to issue the stop;
however, that can result in a hang if another cpu has interrupts disabled
and is spinning, since the IPI won't be received and the KDB will wait
indefinitely. We probably need to add a timeout, but this is a useful
stopgap in the mean time.

configured and which provides basic services to those backends.
Besides providing services to backends, it also serves as the single
point of contact for any and all code that wants to make use of the
debugger functions, such as entering the debugger or handling of the
alternate break sequence. For this purpose, the frontend has been
made non-optional.
All debugger requests are forwarded or handed over to the current
backend, if applicable. Selection of the current backend is done by
the debug.kdb.current sysctl. A list of configured backends can be
obtained with the debug.kdb.available sysctl. One can enter the
debugger by writing to the debug.kdb.enter sysctl.
