o Make sure the arguments to ctx_wrapper() are loaded from the
backing store by forcing an underflow. Do this by making all
registers in the register frame local.
o Up to 8 arguments are allowed. This is the number of arguments
passed in registers. Subsequent registers are passed on the stack.
Trying to deal with this is not easy in C and likely forces us to
use assembly code. Let's avoid that for now. There's no indication
that more than 8 arguments is a strong requirement (Linux also has
an 8 argument limit).
o We expect that the stack base is 16-byte aligned and the stack
size is a multiple of 16-byte. We bomb out if this is not the case.
We probably want to be less strict by enforcing it ourselves. For
now it's better to not hide gross alignment bogons by silently
correcting it.
to a buffer in the big key/data case, memmove() was used on pointers
to size_ts, but only sizeof(u_int32_t) bytes where copied. This broke
on big_endian architectures where sizeof(size_t) > sizeof(u_int32_t).
This bug broke portupgrade (by way of ruby_bdb1) on sparc64.

uses a complete different way to get the credentials so this patch
only applies to FreeBSD.

Remove the special treatment of non-blocking mode in
the "look ahead function" xdrrec_eof(). It currently
assumes that the last read() in a row of several reads
does not have zero lenght. If this is the case, svc_vc_stat()
does return XPRT_MOREREQS, and the RPC-request aborts because
there is no data to read anymore.
To fix this, go back to the original version of the code
for non-blocking mode until NetBSD comes up with another
possible fix like this one in xdrrec_eof()
if (rstrm->last_frag && rstrm->in_finger == rstrm->in_boundry) {
return TRUE;
}
Return always FALSE in set_input_fragment() for non-blocking
mode. Since this was not used in FreeBSD, I omitted it at the
first time. Now we use this function and we should always
return FALSE for it.

prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).
Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)
Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.
Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.
Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.
This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.

- strip out the nasty PIC_PROLOGUE/EPILOGUE stuff, since we dont have
to lose a register in PIC mode anymore (we use %rip-relative addressing).
- update for C register argument passing conventions.
- convert 32 bit to 64 bit register sizes etc.
