- Fix -Wunused warnings with *_native detection handlers by marking `kd`
__unused, except with arm/mips, where a slightly more complicated scheme
is required to handle the native case vs the non-native case.
- Fix -Wmissing-variable-declarations warnings by marking struct kvm_arch
objects static.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

In particular,
- avoid dereferencing NULL pointers
- test pointers against NULL, not 0
- test for errout == NULL in the top-level functions (kvm_open, kvm_openfiles,
kvm_open2, etc)
- Replace a realloc and free on failure with reallocf

Use 'pdpe' to extract the PA of the 1GB page instead of 'pde' (which was
a copy and paste bug from the 2MB page case further down).

- Add a kvaddr_type to represent kernel virtual addresses instead of
unsigned long.
- Add a struct kvm_nlist which is a stripped down version of struct nlist
that uses kvaddr_t for n_value.
- Add a kvm_native() routine that returns true if an open kvm descriptor
is for a native kernel and memory image.
- Add a kvm_open2() function similar to kvm_openfiles(). It drops the
unused 'swapfile' argument and adds a new function pointer argument for
a symbol resolving function. Native kernels still use _fdnlist() from
libc to resolve symbols if a resolver function is not supplied, but cross
kernels require a resolver.
- Add a kvm_nlist2() function similar to kvm_nlist() except that it uses
struct kvm_nlist instead of struct nlist.
- Add a kvm_read2() function similar to kvm_read() except that it uses
kvaddr_t instead of unsigned long for the kernel virtual address.
- Add a new kvm_arch switch of routines needed by a vmcore backend.
Each backend is responsible for implementing kvm_read2() for a given
vmcore format.
- Use libelf to read headers from ELF kernels and cores (except for
powerpc cores).
- Add internal helper routines for the common page offset hash table used
by the minidump backends.
- Port all of the existing kvm backends to implement a kvm_arch switch and
to be cross-friendly by using private constants instead of ones that
vary by platform (e.g. PAGE_SIZE). Static assertions are present when
a given backend is compiled natively to ensure the private constants
match the real ones.
- Enable all of the existing vmcore backends on all platforms. This means
that libkvm on any platform should be able to perform KVA translation
and read data from a vmcore of any platform.

- make WARNS=6 clean for archs w/o strict alignment requirments
- add const, ANSIfy, remove unused vars, cast types for comparison
- thanks to differing definitions of VM_MIN_ADDRESS across our archs, we
need to trick the compiler to not complain about signedness. We could
either fix VM_MIN_ADDRESS to always be a simple integer or make the
check conditional on $ARCH.

libkvm will handle i386 PAE and non-PAE modes. There is a PAE flag in
the i386 minidump header to signal the width of the entries in the

Other convenient values are also present, such as kernbase and the direct

Support PAE crashdumps on i386. This is done by auto-detecting the

I used Marcel's _kvm_pa2off strategy and ELF header reader for ELF support
on amd64. Paul Saab ported the amd64 changes to i386 and we implemented
the PAE support from there.
Note that gdb6 in the src tree uses whatever libkvm supports. If you want
to debug an old crash dump, you might want to keep an old libkvm.so handy
and use LD_PRELOAD or the like. This does not detect the old raw dump
format.

dead kernel debugging. The previous code was a "do nothing".
The most obvious side effect of this is that you can now do things like
this and reasonably expect them to work:
dmesg -M /var/crash/vmcore.3 -N /var/crash/kernel.3
ps -axl -M /var/crash/vmcore.3 -N /var/crash/kernel.3
A good deal of this was lifted from the gdb code to do this, as well as
from NetBSD's libkvm (which has completely different VM macros)
Given the right circumstances, a call to kvm_open can result in a core
dump.
The diff belows fixes this (note that this change is already in the
NetBSD code). Could somebody apply this?
