While the KSE project was quite successful in bringing threading to
FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the kse library was never developed
to its full potential. Backwards compatibility will be provided via
libmap.conf for dynamically linked binaries and static binaries will
be broken.

De-hardcode usage of ARM_TP_ADDRESS and RAS local storage, and move this
special purpose page to a more convenient place i.e. after the vectors high
page, more towards the end of address space. Previous location (0xe000_0000)
caused grief if KVA was to go beyond the default limit.
Note that ARM world rebuilding is required after this change since the
location of ARM_TP_ADDRESS is shared between kernel and userland.

The only downside is that it renames pmap_vac_me_harder() to pmap_fix_cache().
From Mark's email on -arm :
pmap_get_vac_flags(), pmap_vac_me_harder(), pmap_vac_me_kpmap(), and
pmap_vac_me_user() has been rewritten as pmap_fix_cache() to be more
efficient in the kernel map case. I also removed the reference to
the md.kro_mappings, md.krw_mappings, md.uro_mappings, and md.urw_mappings
counts.
In pmap_clearbit(), we can also skip over tests and writeback/invalidations
in the PVF_MOD and PVF_REF cases if those bits are not set in the pv_flag.
PVF_WRITE will turn caching back on and remove the PV_MOD bit.
In pmap_nuke_pv(), the vm_page_flag_clear(pg, PG_WRITEABLE) has been moved
to the pmap_fix_cache().
We can be more agressive in attempting to turn caching back on by calling
pmap_fix_cache() at times that may be appropriate to turn cache on
(a kernel mapping has been removed, a write has been removed or a read
has been removed and we know the mapping does not have multiple write
mappings to a page).
In pmap_remove_pages() the cpu_idcache_wbinv_all() is moved to happen
before the page tables are NULLed because the caches are virtually
indexed and virtually tagged.
In pmap_remove_all(), the pmap_remove_write(m) is added before the
page tables are NULLed because the caches are virtually indexed and
virtually tagged. This also removes the need for the caches fixing routine
(whichever is being used pmap_vac_me_harder() or pmap_fix_cache()) to be
called on any of these mappings.
In pmap_remove(), I simplified the cache cleaning process and removed
extra TLB removals. Basically if more than PMAP_REMOVE_CLEAN_LIST_SIZE
are removed, then just flush the entire cache.
memcpy/memset/memcmp and friends from libkern/arm to arm/arm/support.S, and so
I did, but in the process, I didn't add the appropriate copyrights.
This is a major oversight from me, and I apology to the NetBSD people for it.

for that argument. This will allow DDB to detect the broad category of
reason why the debugger has been entered, which it can use for the
purposes of deciding which DDB script to run.
Assign approximate why values to all current consumers of the
kdb_enter() interface.
- Introduce per-architecture stack_machdep.c to hold stack_save(9).
- Introduce per-architecture machine/stack.h to capture any common
definitions required between db_trace.c and stack_machdep.c.
- Add new kernel option "options STACK"; we will build in stack(9) if it is
defined, or also if "options DDB" is defined to provide compatibility
with existing users of stack(9).
Add new stack_save_td(9) function, which allows the capture of a stacktrace
of another thread rather than the current thread, which the existing
stack_save(9) was limited to. It requires that the thread be neither
swapped out nor running, which is the responsibility of the consumer to
enforce.
Update stack(9) man page.

We used to allocate the domains 0-14 for userland, and leave the domain 15
for the kernel. Now supersections requires the use of domain 0, so we
switched the kernel domain to 0, and use 1-15 for userland.
How it's done currently, the kernel domain could be allocated for a
userland process.
So switch back to the previous way we did things, set the first available
domain to 0, and just add 1 to get the real domain number in the struct pmap.

The RAS implementation would set the end address, then the start
address. These were used by the kernel to restart a RAS sequence if
it was interrupted. When the thread switching code ran, it would
check these values and adjust the PC and clear them if it did.
However, there's a small flaw in this scheme. Thread T1, sets the end
address and gets preempted. Thread T2 runs and also does a RAS
operation. This resets end to zero. Thread T1 now runs again and
sets start and then begins the RAS sequence, but is preempted before
the RAS sequence executes its last instruction. The kernel code that
would ordinarily restart the RAS sequence doesn't because the PC isn't
between start and 0, so the PC isn't set to the start of the sequence.
So when T1 is resumed again, it is at the wrong location for RAS to
produce the correct results. This causes the wrong results for the
atomic sequence.
The window for the first race is 3 instructions. The window for the
second race is 5-10 instructions depending on the atomic operation.
This makes this failure fairly rare and hard to reproduce.
Mutexs are implemented in libthr using atomic operations. When the
above race would occur, a lock could get stuck locked, causing many
downstream problems, as you might expect.
Also, make sure to reset the start and end address when doing a syscall, or
a malicious process could set them before doing a syscall.

First, a file is mmap(2)ed and then mlock(2)ed. Later, it is truncated.
Under "normal" circumstances, i.e., when the file is not mlock(2)ed, the
pages beyond the EOF are unmapped and freed. However, when the file is
mlock(2)ed, the pages beyond the EOF are unmapped but not freed because
they have a non-zero wire count. This can be a mistake. Specifically,
it is a mistake if the sole reason why the pages are wired is because of
wired, managed mappings. Previously, unmapping the pages destroys these
wired, managed mappings, but does not reduce the pages' wire count.
Consequently, when the file is unmapped, the pages are not unwired
because the wired mapping has been destroyed. Moreover, when the vm
object is finally destroyed, the pages are leaked because they are still
wired. The fix is to reduce the pages' wired count by the number of
wired, managed mappings destroyed. To do this, I introduce a new pmap
function pmap_page_wired_mappings() that returns the number of managed
mappings to the given physical page that are wired, and I use this
function in vm_object_page_remove().

silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()
when the kmem_alloc_nofault() failed to allocate address space. Both
functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.
As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.
The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).
