The set_robust_list system call request the kernel to record the head
of the list of robust futexes owned by the calling thread. The head
argument is the list head to record.
The get_robust_list system call should return the head of the robust
list of the thread whose thread id is specified in pid argument.
The list head should be stored in the location pointed to by head
argument.
In contrast, our implemenattion of get_robust_list system call copies
the known portion of memory pointed by recorded in set_robust_list
system call pointer to the head of the robust list to the location
pointed by head argument.
So, it is possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel
memory, which may result in a privilege escalation.

providing compiled-in static environment data that is used instead of any
data passed in from a boot loader.
Previously 'env' worked only on i386 and arm xscale systems, because it
required the MD startup code to examine the global envmode variable and
decide whether to use static_env or an environment obtained from the boot
loader, and set the global kern_envp accordingly. Most startup code wasn't
doing so. Making things even more complex, some mips startup code uses an
alternate scheme that involves calling init_static_kenv() to pass an empty
buffer and its size, then uses a series of kern_setenv() calls to populate
that buffer.
Now all MD startup code calls init_static_kenv(), and that routine provides
a single point where envmode is checked and the decision is made whether to
use the compiled-in static_kenv or the values provided by the MD code.
The routine also continues to serve its original purpose for mips; if a
non-zero buffer size is passed the routine installs the empty buffer ready
to accept kern_setenv() values. Now if the size is zero, the provided buffer
full of existing env data is installed. A NULL pointer can be passed if the
boot loader provides no env data; this allows the static env to be installed
if envmode is set to do so.
Most of the work here is a near-mechanical change to call the init function
instead of directly setting kern_envp. A notable exception is in xen/pv.c;
that code was originally installing a buffer full of preformatted env data
along with its non-zero size (like mips code does), which would have allowed
kern_setenv() calls to wipe out the preformatted data. Now it passes a zero
for the size so that the buffer of data it installs is treated as
non-writeable.
While here, move the common bits of <machine/cputypes.h> to

The pcb is saved at the top of the kernel stack on x86 platforms.
The initial kenrel stack pointer is set in the TSS so that the trapframe
from user -> kernel transitions begins directly below the pcb and grows
down.
The XSAVE changes moved the FPU save area out of the pcb and into a
variable-sized area after the pcb. This required updating the expressions
to calculate the initial stack pointer from 'stacktop - sizeof(pcb)' to
'stacktop - sizeof(pcb) + FPU save area size'.
The i386_set_ioperm() system call allows user applications to access
individual I/O ports via the I/O port permission bitmap in the TSS.
On FreeBSD this requires allocating a custom per-process TSS instead of
using the shared per-CPU TSS.
The expression to initialize the initial kernel stack pointer in the
per-process TSS created for i386_set_ioperm() was not properly updated
after the XSAVE changes. Processes that used i386_set_ioperm() would
trash the trapframe during subsequent context switches resulting in
panics from memory corruption.
This changes fixes the kernel stack pointer calculation for the per-process
TSS.

for the initiating CPU. Note that current code does not issue total
invalidation requests for the kernel_pmap.
Rename amd64 function invltlb_globpcid() to invltlb_glob(), it is not
specific for PCID for quite some time, and implement the same
functionality for i386. Use the function instead of invltlb() in
shootdown handlers and in i386 pmap_invalidate_all(), but only for the
kernel pmap (which maps pages with the PG_G attribute set), which
takes care of PG_G TLB entries on flush.
To detect the affected pmap in i386 TLB shootdown handler, pmap should
be passed to the smp_masked_invltlb() function, which makes amd64 and
i386 TLB shootdown code almost identical. Merge the code under x86/.

A second set of variables describes the layout of 'struct proc' and

The 'pcb_size' variable is used to index into the stoppcbs[] array.
The 'vm_maxuser_address' is used to distinguish kernel virtual addresses

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be
sent with HVM guest support.

- Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty
- Support multiple consoles

Otherwise, it is impossible to return zero address as the symbol

frame buffers and memory mapped UARTs.
1. Delay calling cninit() until after pmap_bootstrap(). This makes
sure we have PMAP initialized enough to add translations. Keep
kdb_init() after cninit() so that we have console when we need
to break into the debugger on boot.
2. Unfortunately, the ATPIC code had be moved as well so as to
avoid a spurious trap #30. The reason for which is not known
at this time.
3. In pmap_mapdev_attr(), when we need to map a device prior to the
VM system being initialized, use virtual_avail as the KVA to map
the device at. In particular, avoid using the direct map on amd64
because we can't demote by virtue of not being able to allocate
yet. Keep track of the translation.
Re-use the translation after the VM has been initialized to not
waste KVA and to satisfy the assumption in uart(4) that the handle
returned for the low-level console is the same as later returned
when the device is probed and attached.
4. In pmap_unmapdev() remove the mapping from the table when called
pre-init. Otherwise keep the mapping. During bus probe and attach
device resources are mapped and unmapped multiple times, which
would have us destroy the mapping used by the low-level console.
5. In pmap_init(), set pmap_initialized to signal that we're not
pre-init anymore. On amd64, bring the direct map in sync with the
translations created at that time.
6. Implement bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap() for real: when
the tag corresponds to memory space, call the corresponding
pmap_mapdev() and pmap_unmapdev() functions to construct and
actual handle.
7. In efifb.c and vt_vga.c, remove the crutches and hacks and simply
call pmap_mapdev_attr() or bus_space_map() as desired.
Notes:
1. uart(4) already used bus_space_map() during low-level console
setup but since serial ports have traditionally been I/O port
based, the lack of a proper implementation for said function
was not a problem. It has always supported memory mapped UARTs
for low-level consoles by setting hw.uart.console accordingly.
2. The use of the direct map on amd64 without setting caching
attributes has been a bigger problem than previously thought.
This change has the fortunate (and unexpected) side-effect of
fixing various EFI frame buffer problems (though not all).
