pmap_unmapdev()'s own direct efforts to destroy the page table entries are
redundant, so eliminate them.
Don't set PTE_W on the page table entry in pmap_kenter{,_attr}() on MIPS.
Setting PTE_W on MIPS is inconsistent with the implementation of this
function on other architectures. Moreover, PTE_W should not be set, unless
the pmap's wired mapping count is incremented, which pmap_kenter{,_attr}()
doesn't do.

From the Intel whitepapers and articles about Bull Mountain, it seems
that we do not need to perform post-processing of RDRAND results, like
AES-encryption of the data with random IV and keys, which was done for
Padlock. Intel claims that sanitization is performed in hardware.
Make both Padlock and Bull Mountain random generators support code
covered by kernel config options, for the benefit of people who prefer
minimal kernels. Also add the tunables to disable hardware generator

directly by a conditional statement.

PTE's PG_M and PG_RW bits but not the physical page frame. First,
only perform vm_page_dirty() on a managed vm_page when the PG_M bit is
being cleared. If the updated PTE continues to have PG_M set, then
there is no requirement to perform vm_page_dirty(). Second, flush the
mapping from the TLB when PG_M alone is cleared, not just when PG_M
and PG_RW are cleared. Otherwise, a stale TLB entry may stop PG_M
from being set again on the next store to the virtual page. However,
since the vm_page's dirty field already shows the physical page as
being dirty, no actual harm comes from the PG_M bit not being set.
Nonetheless, it is potentially confusing to someone expecting to see
the PTE change after a store to the virtual page.
stopped threads. Implementation assumes that the thread's FPU context
is spilled into the PCB due to stop. This is mostly true, except when
FPU state for the thread is not initialized. Then the requests operate
on the garbage state which is currently left in the PCB, causing
confusion.
The situation is indeed observed after a signal delivery and before
#NM fault on execution of any FPU instruction in the signal handler,
since sendsig(9) drops FPU state for current thread, clearing
PCB_FPUINITDONE. When inspecting context state for the signal handler,
debugger sees the FPU state of the main program context instead of the
clear state supposed to be provided to handler.
Fix this by forcing clean FPU state in PCB user FPU save area by
performing getfpuregs(9) before accessing user FPU save area in
ptrace_machdep.c.
Note: this change will be merged to i386 kernel as well, where it is
much more important, since e.g. gdb on i386 uses PT_I386_GETXMMREGS to
inspect FPU context on CPUs that support SSE. Amd64 version of gdb
uses PT_GETFPREGS to inspect both 64 and 32 bit processes, which does
not exhibit the bug.

SIGFPE without causing an infinite loop of #MF exceptions due to

Clearing exceptions causes information loss for handlers which do
understand FPU hardware, and struct siginfo si_code member cannot be
considered adequate replacement for en_sw content due to translation.
Supposed reason for clearing the exceptions, which is IRQ13 handling

amd64. It is implemented as __pure2 inline with non-volatile asm read
from pcpu, which allows a compiler to cache its results.
Convert most PCPU_GET(pcb) and curthread->td_pcb accesses into curpcb.
Note that __curthread() uses magic value 0 as an offsetof(struct pcpu,
pc_curthread). It seems to be done this way due to machine/pcpu.h
needs to be processed before sys/pcpu.h, because machine/pcpu.h
contributes machine-depended fields to the struct pcpu definition. As
result, machine/pcpu.h cannot use struct pcpu yet.
The __curpcb() also uses a magic constant instead of offsetof(struct
pcpu, pc_curpcb) for the same reason. The constants are now defined as
symbols and CTASSERTs are added to ensure that future KBI changes do
not break the code.

mostly meets the guidelines set by the Intel SDM:
1. We use XRSTOR and XSAVE from the same CPL using the same linear
address for the store area
2. Contrary to the recommendations, we cannot zero the FPU save area
for a new thread, since fork semantic requires the copy of the
previous state. This advice seemingly contradicts to the advice
from the item 6.
3. We do use XSAVEOPT in the context switch code only, and the area
for XSAVEOPT already always contains the data saved by XSAVE.
4. We do not modify the save area between XRSTOR, when the area is
loaded into FPU context, and XSAVE. We always spit the fpu context
into save area and start emulation when directly writing into FPU
context.
5. We do not use segmented addressing to access save area, or rather,
always address it using %ds basing.
6. XSAVEOPT can be only executed in the area which was previously
loaded with XRSTOR, since context switch code checks for FPU use by
outgoing thread before saving, and thread which stopped emulation
forcibly get context loaded with XRSTOR.
7. The PCB cannot be paged out while FPU emulation is turned off, since
stack of the executing thread is never swapped out.
The context switch code is patched to issue XSAVEOPT instead of XSAVE
if supported. This approach eliminates one conditional in the context
switch code, which would be needed otherwise.
For user-visible machine context to have proper data, fpugetregs()
checks for unsaved extension blocks and manually copies pristine FPU
state into them, according to the description provided by CPUID leaf
0xd.

- Add a new 'ADEP' size flag similar to 'SDEP' except that it chooses
between i_name and i_extra based on the address size prefix (0x67).
Use this to fix the decoding for jrcxz vs jecxz which is determined
by the address size prefix, not the operand size prefix. Also, jcxz
is not possible in 64-bit mode, but jrcxz is the default instruction
for that opcode.
