comparing the PTD pointers, they needed to be masked by PG_FRAME, and
they weren't. Also, the "improved" non-386 code wasn't really an
improvement, so I simplified and fixed the code. This might have
caused some of the panics caused by the VM megacommit.
With this fix from Stephen, we are getting the target fork performance
that I have been trying to attain: P5-166, before the mega-commit: 700-800usecs,
after: 600usecs, with Stephen's fix: 500usecs!!! Also, this could be the
solution of some strange panic problems...

Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:
More usage of the TAILQ macros. Additional minor fix to queue.h.
Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
has to run immediately.
Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
and not an entire entry.
7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
fork code from vm_glue. Pushed much of that code into
the machine dependent pmap module.
9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
already zeroed.
Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.) The VM code now
seldom uses splhigh.
Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
of objects with backing objects along with the already
existant condition of having a vnode. (If there is a backing
object, there will likely be a COW... With a COW, it isn't
necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.

Hopefully fixes recent locore reboot problems.

Added sysctls to support reading and writing the clock frequency variables
(not the frequencies themselves). Writing is supposed to atomically

machdep.c:
Fixed spelling of a function name in a comment so that I can log this

Initialize `cpu_class' earlier so that it can be used in startrtclock()
instead of in calibrate_cyclecounter() (which no longer exists).
Removed range checking of `cpu'. It is always initialized to CPU_XXX
so it is less likely to be out of bounds than most variables.
clock.h:
Removed I586_CYCLECTR(). Use rdtsc() instead.
clock.c:
TIMER_FREQ is now a variable timer_freq that defaults to the old value of
TIMER_FREQ. #define'ing TIMER_FREQ should still work and may be the best
way of setting the frequency.
Calibration involves counting cycles while watching the RTC for one second.
This gives values correct to within (a few ppm) + (the innaccuracy of the
RTC) on my systems.

netscape-2.0 for Linux running all the Java stuff. The scrollbars are now
working, at least on my machine. (whew! :-)
I'm uncomfortable with the size of this commit, but it's too
inter-dependant to easily seperate out.
The main changes:
COMPAT_LINUX is *GONE*. Most of the code has been moved out of the i386
machine dependent section into the linux emulator itself. The int 0x80
syscall code was almost identical to the lcall 7,0 code and a minor tweak
allows them to both be used with the same C code. All kernels can now
just modload the lkm and it'll DTRT without having to rebuild the kernel
first. Like IBCS2, you can statically compile it in with "options LINUX".
A pile of new syscalls implemented, including getdents(), llseek(),
readv(), writev(), msync(), personality(). The Linux-ELF libraries want
to use some of these.
linux_select() now obeys Linux semantics, ie: returns the time remaining
of the timeout value rather than leaving it the original value.
Quite a few bugs removed, including incorrect arguments being used in
syscalls.. eg: mixups between passing the sigset as an int, vs passing
it as a pointer and doing a copyin(), missing return values, unhandled
cases, SIOC* ioctls, etc.
The build for the code has changed. i386/conf/files now knows how
to build linux_genassym and generate linux_assym.h on the fly.
Supporting changes elsewhere in the kernel:
The user-mode signal trampoline has moved from the U area to immediately
below the top of the stack (below PS_STRINGS). This allows the different
binary emulations to have their own signal trampoline code (which gets rid
of the hardwired syscall 103 (sigreturn on BSD, syslog on Linux)) and so
that the emulator can provide the exact "struct sigcontext *" argument to
the program's signal handlers.
The sigstack's "ss_flags" now uses SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK flags, which
have the same values as the re-used SA_DISABLE and SA_ONSTACK which are
intended for sigaction only. This enables the support of a SA_RESETHAND
flag to sigaction to implement the gross SYSV and Linux SA_ONESHOT signal
semantics where the signal handler is reset when it's triggered.
makesyscalls.sh no longer appends the struct sysentvec on the end of the
generated init_sysent.c code. It's a lot saner to have it in a seperate
file rather than trying to update the structure inside the awk script. :-)
At exec time, the dozen bytes or so of signal trampoline code are copied
to the top of the user's stack, rather than obtaining the trampoline code
the old way by getting a clone of the parent's user area. This allows
Linux and native binaries to freely exec each other without getting
trampolines mixed up.
