until we do some testing to see what's best. This gives a massive reduction
in system time for processes with a relatively large working set. The size
of the tsb directly affects the rss size that a user process can keep mapped.
When it starts to get full replacements occur and the process takes a lot of
soft vm faults. Increasing the default from 1 page to 2 gives the following
before and after numbers for compiling vfs_bio.c:
before:

after:
8.57 real 6.11 user 1.62 sys
This should make self hosted builds more tolerable.
I don't believe anyone is quite using the sparc64 kernel sources in CVS
yet -- things aren't just quite ready (but almost). So this commit should
be OK to make.
window to the user stack while in a nested kernel trap. We do this for
entry to the kernel from user mode, but if we get an interrupt in kernel
mode while there are still user windows in the cpu, and we attempt to spill
to the user stack, we may take too many nested traps and overflow the trap
stack, causing a red state exception. This is needed by upcoming changes
to allow the user tsb to not be locked in the tlb.

virtual page number in a much more convenient way; all in one piece. This
greatly simplifies the comparison for a matching tte, and allows the fault
handlers to be much simpler due to not having to load wierd masks.
Rewrite the tlb fault handlers to account for the new format. These are also
written to allow faults on the user tsb inside of the fault handlers; the
kernel fault handler must be aware of this and not clobber the other's
registers. The faults do not yet occur due to other support that is needed
(and still under my desk).
Bug fixes from: tmm
Most of the contents are commented out as they are as-yet untested.
However, I wanted the contents to match our other arches, so that when
people make changes to {i386,alpha,ia64}, they will also make the same
changes here.
pmap_qenter and pmap_qremove in preference to pmap_kenter/pmap_kremove.
The former maps in multiple pages at a time, and so can do a ranged
flush. Don't assume that pmap_kenter and pmap_kremove will flush the tlb,
even though they still do. It will not once the MI code is updated to use
pmap_qenter and pmap_qremove.
will be used to reduce the number of tlb shootdown ipis in an smp system
by sending one ipi for a whole range of pages, instead of one per page.
Munge the context demap operations slightly to support demapping a non-primary
context.
If we don't do this here there's a 1 instruction race where an interrupt
could come in and crash the user process due to having no stack.
2. Pass %fsr to the user trap handler in %l4. Since %fsr can only be loaded
from or stored to memory, we need to do some contortions and temporarily
save it to the alternate global stack.
3. Reload the pcb and pcpu registers for traps in kernel mode, for sanity.

While in userland, keep the thread's ucred reference in a shadow
field so that the usual place to store it is NULL.
If DIAGNOSTIC is not set, the thread ucred is kept valid until the next
kernel entry, at which time it is checked against the process cred
and possibly corrected. Produces a BIG speedup in
kernels with INVARIANTS set. (A previous commit corrected it
for the non INVARIANTS case already)

o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that

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.
