instead of a PCPU field for curthread. This averts a race on SMP systems
with a high interrupt rate where the thread looking up the value of
curthread could be preempted and migrated between obtaining the PCPU
pointer and reading the value of pc_curthread, resulting in curthread being
observed to be the current thread on the thread's original CPU. This played
merry havoc with the system, in particular with mutexes. Many thanks to
jhb for helping me work this one out.

set_user_sr() itself caches the user segment VSID, there is no need for
cpu_switch() to do it again. This change also unifies the 32 and 64-bit

concurrency bug. Since all SLB/SR entries were invalidated during an
exception, a decrementer exception could cause the user segment to be
invalidated during a copyin()/copyout() without a thread switch that
would cause it to be restored from the PCB, potentially causing the
operation to continue on invalid memory. This is now handled by explicit
restoration of segment 12 from the PCB on 32-bit systems and a check in
the Data Segment Exception handler on 64-bit.
While here, cause copyin()/copyout() to check whether the requested
user segment is already installed, saving some pipeline flushes, and
fix the synchronization primitives around the mtsr and slbmte
instructions to prevent accessing stale segments.

Kernel sources for 64-bit PowerPC, along with build-system changes to keep
32-bit kernels compiling (build system changes for 64-bit kernels are
coming later). Existing 32-bit PowerPC kernel configurations must be
updated after this change to specify their architecture.
Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.
Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().
The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.
Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().
Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.
The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

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.
Rework of this area is a pre-requirement for importing e500 support (and
other PowerPC core variations in the future). Mainly the following
headers are refactored so that we can cover for low-level differences between
various machines within PowerPC architecture:
<machine/pcpu.h>
<machine/pcb.h>
<machine/kdb.h>
<machine/hid.h>
<machine/frame.h>
Areas which use the above are adjusted and cleaned up.

The problem is that we need to swap the 32-bit td_retval values
for the __syscall indirect syscall when the actual syscall has
a 32-bit return value. Hence, we need to exclude lseek(2). And
this means the "old" lseek(2) as well -- which we didn't.

- Add the PCPU_ADD interface which just does an add on the pcpu member

Note that for most architectures PCPU_INC and PCPU_ADD are not safe.

- Add a new check to make sure we don't return from a syscall in a critical

- Add a new explicit check before userret() to make sure we don't return

syscall number and name in syscall() whereas that info is not available
in userret().
- Drop the mtx_assert()'s of sched_lock and Giant. They are replaced by

Rename struct thread's td_sticks to td_pticks, we will need the
other name for more appropriately named use shortly. Reduce it
from uint64_t to u_int.
Clear td_pticks whenever we enter the kernel instead of recording
its value as reference for userret(). Use the absolute value of
td->pticks in userret() and eliminate third argument.
changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.
2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.
3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.
4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.
5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.
6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.

trap_subr.S: declare a stub for the a-unavailable trap
that does an absolute jump to the vector-assist trap.
This is due to the fact that the vec-unavail trap
doesn't start at a 256-byte boundary, so the trick of
masking the bottom 8 bits of the link register to identify
the interrupt doesn't work, so let the vec-assist
case handle Altivec-disabled for the time being.
Note that this will be fixed in the future with a much
smaller vector code-stub (< 16 bytes) that will allow
use of strange vector offsets that are also present in
4xx processors, and also allow smaller differences in
vector codepaths on the G5.
trap.c: Treat altivec-unavailable/assist process traps as SIGILL.
Not quite correct, since altivec-assist should really be a panic,
but it is fine for the moment due to the above measure.
