to the ARM port. We set FLT_ROUNDS to -1 (indeterminate), because the
rounding mode on ARM is static, i.e. part of the FP instruction
format. Or at least that's my understanding.

improved chance of working despite pressure from running programs.
Instead of trying to throw a bunch of pages out to swap and hope for
the best, only a range that can potentially fulfill contigmalloc(9)'s
request will have its contents paged out (potentially, not forcibly)
at a time.
The new contigmalloc operation still operates in three passes, but it
could potentially be tuned to more or less. The first pass only looks
at pages in the cache and free pages, so they would be thrown out
without having to block. If this is not enough, the subsequent passes
page out any unwired memory. To combat memory pressure refragmenting
the section of memory being laundered, each page is removed from the
systems' free memory queue once it has been freed so that blocking
later doesn't cause the memory laundered so far to get reallocated.
The page-out operations are now blocking, as it would make little sense
to try to push out a page, then get its status immediately afterward
to remove it from the available free pages queue, if it's unlikely to
have been freed. Another change is that if KVA allocation fails, the
allocated memory segment will be freed and not leaked.
There is a sysctl/tunable, defaulting to on, which causes the old
contigmalloc() algorithm to be used. Nonetheless, I have been using
vm.old_contigmalloc=0 for over a month. It is safe to switch at
run-time to see the difference it makes.
A new interface has been used which does not require mapping the
allocated pages into KVA: vm_page.h functions vm_page_alloc_contig()
and vm_page_release_contig(). These are what vm.old_contigmalloc=0
uses internally, so the sysctl/tunable does not affect their operation.
When using the contigmalloc(9) and contigfree(9) interfaces, memory
is now tracked with malloc(9) stats. Several functions have been
exported from kern_malloc.c to allow other subsystems to use these
statistics, as well. This invalidates the BUGS section of the
contigmalloc(9) manpage.
specify "us" as the thread not the process/ksegrp/kse.
You can always find the others from the thread but the converse is not true.
Theorotically this would lead to runtime being allocated to the wrong
entity in some cases though it is not clear how often this actually happenned.
(would only affect threaded processes and would probably be pretty benign,
but it WAS a bug..)

time now to break with the past: do not write the PID in the first note.
Rationale:
1. [impact of the breakage] Process IDs in core files serve no immediate
purpose to the debugger itself. They are only useful to relate a core
file to a process. This can provide context to the person looking at
the core file, provided one keeps track of this. Overall, not having
the PID in the core file is only in very rare occasions unfortunate.
2. [reason of the breakage] Having one PRSTATUS note contain the PID,
while all others contain the LWPID of the corresponding kernel thread
creates an irregularity for the debugger that cannot easily be worked
around. This is caused by libthread_db correlating user thread IDs to
kernel thread (aka LWP) IDs and thus aware of the actual LWPIDs.
Update comments accordingly.

that get certain types of control messages (ping6 and rtsol are
examples). This gets the new code closer to working:
1) Collect control mbufs for processing in the controlp ==
NULL case, so that they can be freed by externalize.
2) Loop over the list of control mbufs, as the externalize
function may not know how to deal with chains.
3) In the case where there is no externalize function,
remember to add the control mbuf to the controlp list so
that it will be returned.
4) After adding stuff to the controlp list, walk to the
end of the list of stuff that was added, incase we added
a chain.
This code can be further improved, but this is enough to get most
things working again.
