list of frame sniffers so that trapframes can be detected. The kluge
is needed because this version of gdb only supports appending a
sniffer to the list of sniffers and the moment kgdb gets a chance to
add its own frame sniffer, the target's default frame sniffer is
already in the list. Since the default frame sniffer claims any
frame thrown at it, kgdb's frame sniffer never gets to smell (a
process much akin to tasting, but with lesser chance of hurling :-)
This commit adds dummy frame sniffers that never claim a frame and
as such don't fix anything yet. However, we now have frame sniffers
and they are being called, so it's just a matter of adding meat to
the bones and we'll be able to properly unwind across trapframes.

command does, but worse.
o Remove the obscure proc command, because it does what the thread
command does, but not unambigously.
o Move the PID to the extra thread info, where it makes sense and
where it doesn't confuse users. The extra thread info holds some
process information, to which the PID belongs.
o Implement the to_find_new_threads target method by having it call
the target beneath us if we're not using KVM. This makes sure that
new threads are found when using the remote target.
o Fix various core dump scenarios:
- Implement the to_files_info target method. Previously the
'info target' command would cause a NULL pointer dereference.
- Don't assume there's a current thread. We're not initialized
in all cases. This prevents a NULL pointer dereference.
- When we're not ussing KVM, have the to_xfer_memory target
method call the target beneath us. This avoids calling into
KVM with a NULL pointer.

o Register a function with atexit(3) to close the KVM object if
we have one open.
o Show the unread portion of the kernel's message buffer before

o Don't call kgdb_target() twice. It results in having all threads
listed twice.

Display PID and process name as a part of the 'info threads' output, TIDs

For corefiles, we rely on gdb internals to do this, and it uses the
pid as an index, rather than the lwpid, so previously, backtraces
for multithreaded core files wasn't working correctly. For processes,
we currently use ptrace directly, so fixup that code to also use
the pid directly.

kernel modules and kvm(3). As the word "beginnings" implies, not
all of the features have been implemented yet. The tool is useful
and I'd like feedback on the taken route.
The simplest way to debug a kernel core file is:
kgdb -n 0
This opens /var/crash/vmcore.0 with the corresponding kernel in
the object directory (kernel.debug is used if it exists).
Typical things that need to be added are:
o Auto loading of kernel modules,
o Handling of trapframes so that backtraces can be taken across
them,
o Some fancy commands to extract useful information out of a core
file,
o Various (probably many) other things.
that have been added to <sys/procfs.h>. This change has no effect
because the source file that would be affected is not compiled on
FreeBSD. Hence, this is for completeness only.
This includes removing all vestiges of the old not-really supported
ability to build cross tools targeting non-FreeBSD systems, such as
m68k Lynx and NetBSD. Move as much duplicated code from platform
Makefiles into the shared Makefiles. Add a simple mechanism for
specifying ELF 'ldscripts'. Also share as many .h files as possible
(now a single bfd.h vs. one per platform).

I've done it this way to avoid touching gcc source while 3.4 is in

One thing Gzip does is implicitly by store the size of a file into an

(see RFC 1952 section 2.3.1 "ISIZE"). Thus an extracted file size is
does not equal the original size (mod 2^32) for files larger than 4GB.

A malicious CVS server could cause your CVS client to overwrite
arbitrary files (CAN-2004-0180).
When a CVS client uses the `-p' checkout option, the server could be
fooled into checking out files from outside the given $CVSROOT.
(This patch is applied in an unorthodox manner so as not to complicate
a later vendor import of CVS.)
