while in kernel mode, and later changing signal mask to block the
signal, was fixed for sigprocmask(2) and ptread_exit(3). The same race
exists for sigreturn(2), setcontext(2) and swapcontext(2) syscalls.
Use kern_sigprocmask() instead of direct manipulation of td_sigmask to
reschedule newly blocked signals, closing the race.

the memory or D-cache, depending on the semantics of the platform.
vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve
the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys().
o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
hit the breakpoint.
o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).
The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent
*after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding
or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before*
any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.
a device pager (OBJT_DEVICE) object in that it uses fictitious pages to
provide aliases to other memory addresses. The primary difference is that
it uses an sglist(9) to determine the physical addresses for a given offset
into the object instead of invoking the d_mmap() method in a device driver.

- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

pv entries surpasses the high water mark. The problem was that the page
daemon would only be awakened the first time that the high water mark was
surpassed. (The variable "pagedaemon_waken" is a non-working vestige of
FreeBSD 4.x, in which it was external and reset by the page daemon whenever
it ran. This reset allowed subsequent wakeups by the pv entry allocator.)
Without this fix pte_vatopa() was not able to retrieve physical address of
data structures inside kernel, for example EFAULT was reported while acessing
/dev/kmem ('netstat -nr').

possible future I-cache coherency operation can succeed. On ARM
for example the L1 cache can be (is) virtually mapped, which
means that any I/O that uses temporary mappings will not see the
I-cache made coherent. On ia64 a similar behaviour has been
observed. By flushing the D-cache, execution of binaries backed
by md(4) and/or NFS work reliably.
For Book-E (powerpc), execution over NFS exhibits SIGILL once in
a while as well, though cpu_flush_dcache() hasn't been implemented
yet.
Doing an explicit D-cache flush as part of the non-DMA based I/O
read operation eliminates the need to do it as part of the
I-cache coherency operation itself and as such avoids pessimizing
the DMA-based I/O read operations for which D-cache are already
flushed/invalidated. It also allows future optimizations whereby
the bcopy() followed by the D-cache flush can be integrated in a
single operation, which could be implemented using on-chips DMA
engines, by-passing the D-cache altogether.

When copying big structures, LLVM generates calls to memmove(), because
it may not be able to figure out whether structures overlap. This caused
linker errors to occur. memmove() is now implemented using bcopy().
Ideally it would be the other way around, but that can be solved in the
future. On ARM we don't do add anything, because it already has
memmove().

Previously, DBCR0 flags were set "globally", but this leads to problems
because Book-E fine grained debug settings work only in conjuction with the
debug master enable bit in MSR: in scenarios when the DBCR0 was set with
intention to debug one process, but another one with MSR[DE] set got
scheduled, the latter would immediately cause debug exceptions to occur upon
execution of its own code instructions (and not the one intended for
debugging).
To avoid such problems and properly handle debugging context, DBCR0 state
should be managed individually per process.

Because we need Open Firmware to be available before mutexes can be used on
