only for exceptions.
While adding this to exception_save and exception_restore, it was hard
to find a good place to put the instructions. The code sequence was
sufficiently arbitrarily ordered that the density was low (roughly 67%).
No explicit bundling was used.
Thus, I rewrote the functions to optimize for density (close to 80% now),
and added explicit bundles and nop instructions. The immediate operand
on the nop instruction has been incremented with each instance, to make
debugging a bit easier when looking at recurring patterns. Redundant
stops have been removed as much as possible. Future optimizations can
focus more on performance. A well-placed lfetch can make all the
difference here!
Also, the FRAME_Fxx defines in frame.h were mostly bogus. FRAME_F10 to
FRAME_F15 were copied from FRAME_F9 and still had the same index. We
don't use them yet, so nothing was broken.
i386/ia64/alpha - catch up to sparc64/ppc:
- replace pmap_kernel() with refs to kernel_pmap
- change kernel_pmap pointer to (&kernel_pmap_store)

- gc unused pmap_reference
- gc unused pmap_destroy
- gc unused struct pmap.pm_count

collected at boot and made available through sysctl(8). At the
moment, the following MIB names are created:
hw.mca.count - The number of error records collected.
hw.mca.first - The lowest sequence number present.
hw.mca.last - The highest sequence number present.
hw.mca.<X> - The error record with sequence number <X>.
Using sysctl(8) allows us to easily detect and analyze the records,
which is very helpful during development of MCA but can also be used
in production as a way to collect machine health statistics.
the symbol index defined by the relocation. The elf_lookup() support
function is to be used by elf_reloc() when symbol lookups need to be
done. The elf_lookup() function operates on the symbol index and
will do a symbol name based lookup when such is required, otherwise
it uses the symbol index directly. This solves the problem seen on
ia64 where the symbol hash table does not contain local symbols and
a symbol name based lookup would fail for those symbols.
Don't pass the symbol name to elf_reloc(), as it isn't used any more.
check handling. In its current form, it only determines the largest
amount of state information it can get from SAL and allocates a region
7 memory block for it.
The next steps involve:
o get and log any unconsumed (NVM stored) error records across
reboots,
o register an OS_MCA handler and enable machine checks.

know if this resolves the memory corruption I'm seeing, but it does
have the potential. We'll see...
both Elf_Rel and Elf_Rela types of relocation, so handle them both
even though we only have Rel_Rela ATM. We don't handle 32-bit and
big-endian variants yet. Support for that is not trivial enough to
implement it without any evidence that we ever need it in the near
future.
For the FPTR relocations, we currently use the fptr_storage used by
_reloc() is locore.s. This is in no way a real solution, but for now
provides the service we need to get the basics going.
A static recursive function lookup_fdesc() is used to find the address
of a function in a way that keeps track of the load module so that
we can get the correct GP value if we need to construct an OPD (ie
there's no OPD yet for the function.
For simplicity, we create an OPD for the IPLT relocations as well and
simply fill the user provided function descriptor from the OPD. Since
the the official descriptors are unique, this has no bad side effects.
Note that we ignore the addend for FPTR relocations, but use the
addend for IPLT relocations as an offset to the function address.
This commit allows us to load and relocate modules and modules appear
to work correctly, although we probably need to make sure that we set
GP correctly in all cases when we have inter-module calls. This
especially applies to assembly coded functions that have cross module
calls.
here mostly mirror the changes made in

Significant difference: We don't handle the IPLT relocation here.
For barebones KLD support, we make the fptr_storage global.
environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up. The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.
This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).

and pmap_copy_page(). This gets rid of a couple more physical addresses
in upper layers, with the eventual aim of supporting PAE and dealing with
the physical addressing mostly within pmap. (We will need either 64 bit
physical addresses or page indexes, possibly both depending on the
circumstances. Leaving this to pmap itself gives more flexibilitly.)
