df217187ce Add stack_print_short() and stack_print_short_ddb() interfaces to
stack(9), which generate a more compact rendition of a stack trace
via the kernel's printf.

99285f7544 Break out stack(9) from ddb(4):
- Introduce per-architecture stack_machdep.c to hold stack_save(9).
- Introduce per-architecture machine/stack.h to capture any common
  definitions required between db_trace.c and stack_machdep.c.
- Add new kernel option "options STACK"; we will build in stack(9) if it is
  defined, or also if "options DDB" is defined to provide compatibility
  with existing users of stack(9).

Add new stack_save_td(9) function, which allows the capture of a stacktrace
of another thread rather than the current thread, which the existing
stack_save(9) was limited to.  It requires that the thread be neither
swapped out nor running, which is the responsibility of the consumer to
enforce.

Update stack(9) man page.

Build tested:	amd64, arm, i386, ia64, powerpc, sparc64, sun4v
Runtime tested:	amd64 (rwatson), arm (cognet), i386 (rwatson)

090235e567 Modify stack(9) stack_print() and stack_sbuf_print() routines to use new
linker interfaces for looking up function names and offsets from
instruction pointers.  Create two variants of each call: one that is
"DDB-safe" and avoids locking in the linker, and one that is safe for
use in live kernels, by virtue of observing locking, and in particular
safe when kernel modules are being loaded and unloaded simultaneous to
their use.  This will allow them to be used outside of debugging
contexts.

Modify two of three current stack(9) consumers to use the DDB-safe
interfaces, as they run in low-level debugging contexts, such as inside
lockmgr(9) and the kernel memory allocator.

Update man page.
