- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

Add new function: suser(struct proc *), prototyped in <sys/proc.h>.
3:
s/suser_xxx(\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)->p_ucred, \&\1->p_acflag)/suser(\1)/
The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with
later.
There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left
as an exercise for Bruce.
More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.
Conditionally compile 386-specific code.
pmap_enter:
Eliminate unnecessary TLB shootdowns.
pmap_zero_page and pmap_zero_page_area:
Use invltlb_1pg instead of duplicating the code.
was only looking at old style drivers in the pcidevice_set, which doesn't
exist any more.. Ultimately, the pci and eisa bus drivers will check for
hints for wiring, flags and enable/disable etc as well.
conversion from short to unsigned long which is an argument of
bus_alloc_resource. Since the value -1 is used to indicate no port
reousece, id_port need to be signed (suggested by Doug Rabson and
Peter Wemm.)
With these changes plus the egcs fix I committed a few minutes ago,
"make -DWANT_AOUT world" works again. Most likely, "make upgrade"
is fixed too, though I haven't tested that.
Interrupts under the new scheme are managed by the i386 nexus with the
awareness of the resource manager. There is further room for optimizing
the interfaces still. All the users of register_intr()/intr_create()
should be gone, with the exception of pcic and i386/isa/clock.c.
because the act of doing the release kills the hints(!). A quirk of
the wrapper caused it to reset all the settings, except perhaps for the
memory address. I've tested this with a real SMC 8013EPC - which uses
shared memory addresses - it seems to work OK.
Use pmap_TLB_invalidate instead of invltlb_1pg to eliminate
unnecessary IPIs.
pmap_remove, pmap_protect and pmap_remove_pages:
Use pmap_TLB_invalidate_all instead of invltlb to eliminate
unnecessary IPIs.
pmap_copy:
Use cpu_invltlb instead of invltlb when updating APTDpde.
pmap_changebit:
Rather than deleting the unused "set bit" option (which may be
useful later), make pmap_changebit an inline that is used
by the new pmap_clearbit procedure.
Collectively, the first three changes reduce the number of TLB shootdown
IPIs by 1/3 for a kernel compile.
