0xefbfe000) and kernel_start (normally 0xf0100000).
Things are unnecessarily (?) difficult because procfs is used to
access user addresses in the live-kernel case although we must have
access to /dev/mem to work at all, and whatever works for the
dead-kernel case should work in all cases (modulo volatility of
live kernel variables). We used the wrong range [0, kernel_start)
for user addresses. Procfs should only work up to VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS,
but it bogusly works for reads up to the address 2 pages higher
(the user area, including the kernel stack, is mapped to where the
user area used to be (WTUAUTB)). Procfs can not work at all for
addresses between WTUAUTB and kernel_start.
Now we use procfs only to access addresses up to VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS.
Higher addresses are translated normally using kvtophys(), so the
user ptd is used for addresses below the real kernel start (0xf0000000;
see INKERNEL()) and nothing is found WTUAUTB.
Strange accesses that cross the user-kernel boundary are now handled,
but such ranges are currently always errors because they necessarily
overlap the hole WTUAUTB.
Short reads are still not handled.
Correct translations would have been null. However, kstack was
the top of the kernel stack instead of the base of the kernel stack
like it was when the kernel exported it, so the area above the
kernel stack was mistranslated and the kernel stack was not
translated. This bug was depended on to compensate for the wrong
value of kstack - to read the pcb, instead of just using the address
of the pcb, we used the mistranslated address of kstack, which
happened to be the same (curpcb = kstack - 0x2000).
This area is simpler than it used to be now that the kernel stack
address is per-process. The code still seems to be more complicated
than necessary - the `found_pcb == 0' case seems to be unused.
gdb was cloned from the buggy version of kvm_uread() in libkvm and
had the same bugs. It looped endlessly on EOF and checked errno
without setting it in the lseek() error check. The first bug caused
gdb to loop endlessly for reads from addresses between the end of
the user area and the start of the kernel text. kvm_uread() should
not be used for addresses beyond the end of the user area, but is
due to bugs elsewhere.
the previous frame is in the usual place even for traps, interrupts
and syscalls in the kernel, because the assembly language stubs
don't change the frame pointer. The previous frame is just not for
the calling function. We may as well depend on this as on magic to
determine the trap frame address. The magic is in FRAME_SAVED_PC()
which elides the correct number of stubs (1) to go back to a pc that
matches the previous frame.
Removing fbsd_kern_frame_chain() fixes bugs in it. Xsyscall was
misspelled as _Xsyscall (gdb removes one leading underscore), so
the tf_syscall frame type was never found. This was harmless
because tf_normal works in all cases in fbsd_kern_frame_chain()
and Xsyscall is spelled correctly in fbsd_kern_frame_saved_pc()
where it matters. There were style bugs on almost every line,
starting with a primary indent of 7.

reduces to a relocatable symbol plus an offset. This preserves
the symbol type information (function vs. object). It is important
for SVR4-style weak symbols, e.g., "#pragma weak foo=bar". Without
this change, the linker complains that the jmpslot entry is not a

grep + zlib has several advantages:
- the shell script zgrep(1) will be basically a one line
exec grep -Z "$@"
- no shell script, no bugs. The current zgrep implementations
have many bugs and some grep options are no supported.
- no shell script, no security risks.
- it is a magnitude faster than a shell script

emacs a.out file, self-generated by emacs's "unexec" function in
"unexsunos4.c", is invalid. In particular, its "_end" symbol has
the wrong value. The dynamic linker was using the value of that
symbol to initialize its sbrk break level.
The workaround is to peek at the executable's a.out header in
memory, and calculate what "_end" should be based on the segment
sizes.
I will work out a fix for emacs and send it to the FSF. This
dynamic linker workaround is still worthwhile, if only to avoid
forcing all emacs users to build a new version.
Note: xemacs gives a bogus warning at startup, for related reasons.
The warning is harmless and can safely be ignored. I will send a

things so that it uses the same malloc as is used by the program
being executed. This has several advantages, the big one being
that you can now debug core dumps from dynamically linked programs
and get useful information out of them. Until now, that didn't
work. The internal malloc package placed the tables describing
the loaded shared libraries in a mapped region of high memory that
was not written to core files. Thus the debugger had no way of
determining what was loaded where in memory. Now that the dynamic
linker uses the application's malloc package (normally, but not
necessarily, the system malloc), its tables end up in the regular
heap area where they will be included in core dumps. The debugger
now works very well indeed, thank you very much.

and printf() doesn't know about different types of NaNs anyway.

".p2align n" aligns to the next multiple of 2**n. Thus for FreeBSD,
it does exactly the same thing as the traditional ".align".
The old ".align" directive has different meanings in different
object formats, and even in different variants of a.out. Sometimes
is aligns to a multiple of n, and other times it aligns to a multiple
of 2**n. ".p2align" is preferable for use in assembly language
sources, since it makes them more portable to object formats other
than a.out.
