53573bf465 Implement SA_SIGINFO for i386. Thanks to Bruce Evans for much more
than a review, this was a nice puzzle.

This is supposed to be binary and source compatible with older
applications that access the old FreeBSD-style three arguments to a
signal handler.

Except those applications that access hidden signal handler arguments
bejond the documented third one. If you have applications that do,
please let me know so that we take the opportunity to provide the
functionality they need in a documented manner.

Also except application that use 'struct sigframe' directly. You need
to recompile gdb and doscmd. `make world` is recommended.

Example program that demonstrates how SA_SIGINFO and old-style FreeBSD
handlers (with their three args) may be used in the same process is at
http://www3.cons.org/tmp/fbsd-siginfo.c

Programs that use the old FreeBSD-style three arguments are easy to
change to SA_SIGINFO (although they don't need to, since the old style
will still work):

  Old args to signal handler:
    void handler_sn(int sig, int code, struct sigcontext *scp)

  New args:
    void handler_si(int sig, siginfo_t *si, void *third)
  where:
    old:code == new:second->si_code
    old:scp == &(new:si->si_scp)     /* Passed by value! */

The latter is also pointed to by new:third, but accessing via
si->si_scp is preferred because it is type-save.

FreeBSD implementation notes:
- This is just the framework to make the interface POSIX compatible.
  For now, no additional functionality is provided. This is supposed
  to happen now, starting with floating point values.
- We don't use 'sigcontext_t.si_value' for now (POSIX meant it for
  realtime-related values).
- Documentation will be updated when new functionality is added and
  the exact arguments passed are determined. The comments in
  sys/signal.h are meant to be useful.

af7e9be5cc Enable vmspace sharing on SMP. Major changes are,
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
  is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
  accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
  rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

808a36ef65 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

71b67e5a56 Make everything compile with -Wtraditional. Make it easier to distribute
a binary link-kit.  Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.

NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten.  This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax.  These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.

2c48c35e86 From: Jeffrey Hsu <hsu@soda.berkeley.edu>
The following patch adds the addr argument to signal handlers.

The kernel with the patch is no more and no less in compliance or in
violation of POSIX and ANSI C than the kernel before the patch.

The added functionality this addr argument provides is quite useful.  It
enables an entire class of algorithms which use mprotect to trace memory
references.  Beside garbage collectors, I have heard of this technique being
applied to debuggers and profilers.  The only benchmarking I've performed is
using akcl to compile maxima:  without the kernel patch, it takes 7 hours to
compile maxima, while with stratified garbage collection, it only takes 50
minutes.

Basically, I can't think of a reason not to add the addr argument and there
is a compelling need for it.

If you find the patch acceptable, please let me know so I can send my
FreeBSD akcl config files to wfs for inclusion in the core akcl release.
The old 386BSD config files there won't work on either NetBSD or FreeBSD.

4cea6b395d All:
Remove patch kit headers, and add $Id$
	This is mostly to align some more code with NetBSD.

cpu.h:
	Remove the old function vs. include configuration stuff that was
	ifdefed out when we went to inline functions.
	Remove the define of resettodr that made it a nop, there is
	already a function that makes it a nop, no need to #define one.
	Remove the #defines of processor types, they are now defined
	in cputypes.h, #include that file.
	Add struct cpu_nameclass for support of cpu types.

frame.h:
	include sys/signal.h, it will be needed in the future.
	put the sigframe structure here that was in machdep.c

pcb.h:
	Add multiple inclusion protection.
	Add pcb_ldt and pcb_ldt_len to pcb structure, this is for the
	user mode ldt.
