71a19bdc64 Commit the support for removing cpumask_t and replacing it directly with
cpuset_t objects.
That is going to offer the underlying support for a simple bump of
MAXCPU and then support for number of cpus > 32 (as it is today).

Right now, cpumask_t is an int, 32 bits on all our supported architecture.
cpumask_t on the other side is implemented as an array of longs, and
easilly extendible by definition.

The architectures touched by this commit are the following:
- amd64
- i386
- pc98
- arm
- ia64
- XEN

while the others are still missing.
Userland is believed to be fully converted with the changes contained
here.

Some technical notes:
- This commit may be considered an ABI nop for all the architectures
  different from amd64 and ia64 (and sparc64 in the future)
- per-cpu members, which are now converted to cpuset_t, needs to be
  accessed avoiding migration, because the size of cpuset_t should be
  considered unknown
- size of cpuset_t objects is different from kernel and userland (this is
  primirally done in order to leave some more space in userland to cope
  with KBI extensions). If you need to access kernel cpuset_t from the
  userland please refer to example in this patch on how to do that
  correctly (kgdb may be a good source, for example).
- Support for other architectures is going to be added soon
- Only MAXCPU for amd64 is bumped now

The patch has been tested by sbruno and Nicholas Esborn on opteron
4 x 12 pack CPUs. More testing on big SMP is expected to came soon.
pluknet tested the patch with his 8-ways on both amd64 and i386.

3a5d36716f Modify kdb_trap() so that it re-calls the dbbe_trap function as long as
the debugger back-end has changed.  This means that switching from ddb
to gdb no longer requires a "step" which can be dangerous on an
already-crashed kernel.

Also add a capability to get from the gdb back-end back to ddb, by
typing ^C in the console window.

While here, simplify kdb_sysctl_available() by using
sbuf_new_for_sysctl(), and use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() since the
strlcpy semantic is desired.

61548876b1 kdb_backtrace: use stack_print_ddb instead of stack_print
This is a followup to r212964.
stack_print call chain obtains linker sx lock and thus potentially may
lead to a deadlock depending on a kind of a panic.
stack_print_ddb doesn't acquire any locks and it doesn't use any
facilities of ddb backend.
Using stack_print_ddb outside of DDB ifdef required taking a number of
helper functions from under it as well.

It is a good idea to rename linker_ddb_* and stack_*_ddb functions to
have 'unlocked' component in their name instead of 'ddb', because those
functions do not use any DDB services, but instead they provide unlocked
access to linker symbol information.  The latter was previously needed
only for DDB, hence the 'ddb' name component.

Alternative is to ditch unlocked versions altogether after implementing
proper panic handling:
1. stop other cpus upon a panic
2. make all non-spinlock lock operations (mutex, sx, rwlock) be a no-op
   when panicstr != NULL

088acbb312 kdb_backtrace: stack(9)-based code to print backtrace without any backend
The idea is to add KDB and KDB_TRACE options to GENERIC kernels on
stable branches, so that at least the minimal information is produced
for non-specific panics like traps on page faults.
The GENERICs in stable branches seem to already include STACK option.

dc6fbf6545 * Completely Remove the option STOP_NMI from the kernel. This option
has proven to have a good effect when entering KDB by using a NMI,
but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts
disabled while holding a spinlock in other occasions.  This can be the
cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases
* Disable interrupts on CPU0 when starting the process of APs suspension.
* Style cleanup and comments adding

This patch should fix the reboot/shutdown deadlocks many users are
constantly reporting on mailing lists.

Please don't forget to update your config file with the STOP_NMI
option removal

43d7128c14 Expand kdb_alt_break a little, most commonly used with the option
ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER.  In addition to "Enter ~ ctrl-B" (to enter the
debugger), there is now "Enter ~ ctrl-P" (force panic) and
"Enter ~ ctrl-R" (request clean reboot, ala ctrl-alt-del on syscons).

We've used variations of this at work.  The force panic sequence is
best used with KDB_UNATTENDED for when you just want it to dump and
get on with it.

The reboot request is a safer way of getting into single user than
a power cycle.  eg: you've hosed the ability to log in (pam, rtld, etc).
It gives init the reboot signal, which causes an orderly reboot.

I've taken my best guess at what the !x86 and non-sio code changes
should be.

This also makes sio release its spinlock before calling KDB/DDB.

3de213cc00 Add a new 'why' argument to kdb_enter(), and a set of constants to use
for that argument.  This will allow DDB to detect the broad category of
reason why the debugger has been entered, which it can use for the
purposes of deciding which DDB script to run.

Assign approximate why values to all current consumers of the
kdb_enter() interface.

b61ce5b0e6 - Move all of the PS_ flags into either p_flag or td_flags.
- p_sflag was mostly protected by PROC_LOCK rather than the PROC_SLOCK or
   previously the sched_lock.  These bugs have existed for some time.
 - Allow swapout to try each thread in a process individually and then
   swapin the whole process if any of these fail.  This allows us to move
   most scheduler related swap flags into td_flags.
 - Keep ki_sflag for backwards compat but change all in source tools to
   use the new and more correct location of P_INMEM.

It is similar to debug.kdb.trap, except for it tries to cause a page fault
via a call to an invalid pointer.  This can highlight differences between
a fault on data access vs. a fault on code call some CPUs might have.

bfcdefd8aa Eliminate HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS. On ia64 the PCPU holds a pointer to the
PCB in which the context of stopped CPUs is stored. To access this
PCB from KDB, we introduce a new define, called KDB_STOPPEDPCB. The
definition, when present, lives in <machine/kdb.h> and abstracts
where MD code saves the context. Define KDB_STOPPEDPCB on i386,
amd64, alpha and sparc64 in accordance to previous code.

2fae8f5aed Replace critical_enter() and critical_exit() in kdb_trap() with
intr_disable() and intr_restore() resp. Previously, critical
regions would have interrupts disabled, but that was changed.
Consequently, the debugger could run with interrupts enabled.
This could cause problems for the low-level console code where
received characters would trigger an interrupt that causes
the interrupt handler to read the character instead of the
cngetc() function.

40c9966a37 Commit something we found useful at work at one point. Add sysctls for
debug.kdb.panic and debug.kdb.trap alongside the existing debug.kdb.enter
sysctl.  'panic' causes a panic, and 'trap' causes a page fault.  We used
these to ensure that crash dumps succeed from those two common failure
modes.  This avoids the need for creating a 'panic' kld module.

58553b9925 Rename the KDB_STOP_NMI kernel option to STOP_NMI and make it apply to all
IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
  enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI.  If the kernel
  option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
  runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled).  This
  includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
  private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
  properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
  enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
  that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
  assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
  Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
  subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
  of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of
  being dependent on KDB_STOP_NMI.  It works fine in both the NMI and
  non-NMI cases.

fdc9713bf7 Implement an alternate method to stop CPUs when entering DDB. Normally we use
a regular IPI vector, but this vector is blocked when interrupts are disabled.
With "options KDB_STOP_NMI" and debug.kdb.stop_cpus_with_nmi set, KDB will
send an NMI to each CPU instead. The code also has a context-stuffing
feature which helps ddb extract the state of processes running on the
stopped CPUs.

KDB_STOP_NMI is only useful with SMP and complains if SMP is not defined.
This feature only applies to i386 and amd64 at the moment, but could be
used on other architectures with the appropriate MD bits.

d8939d82cb Add a new sysctl, debug.kdb.stop_cpus, which controls whether or not we
attempt to IPI other cpus when entering the debugger in order to stop
them while in the debugger.  The default remains to issue the stop;
however, that can result in a hang if another cpu has interrupts disabled
and is spinning, since the IPI won't be received and the KDB will wait
indefinitely.  We probably need to add a timeout, but this is a useful
stopgap in the mean time.

cbc174356c Introduce the KDB debugger frontend. The frontend provides a framework
in which multiple (presumably different) debugger backends can be
configured and which provides basic services to those backends.
Besides providing services to backends, it also serves as the single
point of contact for any and all code that wants to make use of the
debugger functions, such as entering the debugger or handling of the
alternate break sequence. For this purpose, the frontend has been
made non-optional.
All debugger requests are forwarded or handed over to the current
backend, if applicable. Selection of the current backend is done by
the debug.kdb.current sysctl. A list of configured backends can be
obtained with the debug.kdb.available sysctl. One can enter the
debugger by writing to the debug.kdb.enter sysctl.
