There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
Print the stack pointer together with the frame pointer in the trap,
syscall and interrupt messages. The frame pointer is not very useful
for locating syscall args since syscall functions don't have a frame
pointer.
Print all the numbers in the trap, syscall and interrupt messages in
the default radix. The syscall number was confusing because it was
printed in decimal.
Use %#n format more and 0x%x less. 0x%x of course doesn't work with
a variable radix. ddb is now fairly consistent about using %+#n to
print all numbers. It omits the '+' for signed numbers the '#' in a
few cases (e.g., for function args) to save space.
changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.
The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.
Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
library routine is changed.

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.
- legitimate null frames from idle() (traceback was aborted after a null
pointer trap)
- second instruction of normal function prologue, and last instruction of
a function (caller wasn't reported).

about decoding trap/syscall/interrupt frames and generally works better
than the previous stuff.
Removed some special (incorrect) frobbing of the frame pointer that
was messing some things up with the new traceback code.
``changes'' are actually not changes at all, but CVS sometimes has trouble
telling the difference.
This also includes support for second-directory compiles. This is not
quite complete yet, as `config' doesn't yet do the right thing. You can
still make it work trivially, however, by doing the following:
rm /sys/compile
mkdir /usr/obj/sys/compile
ln -s M-. /sys/compile
cd /sys/i386/conf
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
ln -s /sys @
rm machine
ln -s @/i386/include machine
make depend

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.
