Implement SA_SIGINFO for i386. Thanks to Bruce Evans for much more
than a review, this was a nice puzzle.
This is supposed to be binary and source compatible with older
applications that access the old FreeBSD-style three arguments to a
signal handler.
Except those applications that access hidden signal handler arguments
bejond the documented third one. If you have applications that do,
please let me know so that we take the opportunity to provide the
functionality they need in a documented manner.
Also except application that use 'struct sigframe' directly. You need
to recompile gdb and doscmd. `make world` is recommended.
Example program that demonstrates how SA_SIGINFO and old-style FreeBSD
handlers (with their three args) may be used in the same process is at
http://www3.cons.org/tmp/fbsd-siginfo.c
Programs that use the old FreeBSD-style three arguments are easy to
change to SA_SIGINFO (although they don't need to, since the old style
will still work):
Old args to signal handler:
void handler_sn(int sig, int code, struct sigcontext *scp)
The latter is also pointed to by new:third, but accessing via
si->si_scp is preferred because it is type-save.
FreeBSD implementation notes:
- This is just the framework to make the interface POSIX compatible.
For now, no additional functionality is provided. This is supposed
to happen now, starting with floating point values.
- We don't use 'sigcontext_t.si_value' for now (POSIX meant it for
realtime-related values).
- Documentation will be updated when new functionality is added and
the exact arguments passed are determined. The comments in
sys/signal.h are meant to be useful.
Rename struct members sa_siginfo. POSIX reserves identifiers starting
with sa_ when <signal.h> is included. They would conflict with the
upcoming SA_SIGINFO implementation.

I made some cleanups, rearranged things a bit, and made AMD Features default
printing on CPUs that have it.
If there are no objections, I'll MFC all recent changes (harmless, really)
to 3.2 and PAO.
Always use growable thread stacks on the i386. The VM_STACK kernel option
must be made default for the alpha before growable thread stacks are
enabled for the alpha.
Remove ti_refill_rx_rings() and associated stuff; replace dirty RX buffers
in ti_rxeof() instead. This doesn't really seem to provide much in the
way of a performance boost, and I'm pretty sure it can cause mbuf leakage
in some extreme cases.
Let newuname return "Linux" as the OS name and not "FreeBSD". Also, return a
more sensible (for Linux applications) release number. Hardcoding a release
number has its drawbacks, but it will do for now.
Also try to load the interpreter without prepending "emul_path". This allows
dynamicly linked binaries to run in a chroot'd environment with "emul_path"
as the new root. The new behavior of loading interpreters is identical to the
principle of overlaying.
Move the initialisation/tuning of nmbclusters from param.c/machdep.c
into uipc_mbuf.c. This reduces three sets of identical tunable code to
one set, and puts the initialisation with the mbuf code proper.
Make NMBUFs tunable as well.
Move the nmbclusters sysctl here as well.
Move the initialisation of maxsockets from param.c to uipc_socket2.c,
next to its corresponding sysctl.
Use the new tunable macros for the kern.vm.kmem.size tunable (this should have
been in a separate commit, whoops).
My last modification for PC-card boot.flp was incomplete, and one more patch
is needed.
This seems a sort of quick-hack, but it's hard to fix it in proper way.
I'll do it later.
Take the Winbond driver out of GENERIC for the alpha. It'll come
back when it actually works on the alpha. How it got in here in the
first place I have no idea.
Use growable stacks for thread stacks that are the default stack size.
Cache discarded default thread stacks for use in subsequent thread creations.
Create a red zone at the end of each stack (including the initial thread
stack), with the hope of causing a segfault if a stack overflows.
To activate these modifications, add -D_PTHREAD_GSTACK to CFLAGS in
src/lib/libc_r/Makefile. Since the modifications depend on the VM_STACK
kernel option, I'm not sure how to safely use growable stacks by default.
Testing, as well as algorithmic and stylistic comments are welcome.
(1) Include linker.h because we use kldload()
(2) Clear up an ambigious, nested if/else
(3) Cast a ccio_size to a long and use the correct format identifier.
Fixed corruption of the "blocked" list in lf_setlock() when tsleep()
returns 0 after ptrace() attach and/or detach doesn't quite quite
deliver a signal. Perhaps the process shouldn't be woken in this
case, but avoiding the problem is easy.

Fixed a couple of places where mechanical fixing of compiler warnings
caused misspelling of NOLOCKF as NULL.
Patch the WaveLAN/IEEE driver to detect and reject oversized received
frames (or just insane received packet lengths generated due to errors
reading from the NIC's internal buffers). Anything too large to fit
safely into an mbuf cluster buffer is discarded and an error logged.
I have not observed this problem with my own cards, but on user has
reported it and adding the sanity test seems reasonable in any case.

Quick fix for breakage of bounds checking in rev.1.12. Only one
of the additional checks in rev.1.12 was wrong. The others are a
bit inconsistent and are probably unnecessarily pessimal. Checking
for overflow of addition, if necessary at all, should be done in
bpf_validate().
Some cleanup and rearrangement. hw.physmem is now an absolute quantity;
we will never use more memory than this value (if specified), but will always
check memory for validity up to this amount.
Get rid of the speculative_mprobe option; the memory amount can now be
specified by hw.physmem.
The vfs.write_behind sysctl and related code support has been added to
allow changes to the filesystem's write_behind behavior. By the
default the filesystem aggressively issues write_behind's. Three values
may be specified for vfs.write_behind. 0 disables write_behind, 1 results
in historical operation (agressive write_behind), and 2 is an experimental
backed-off write_behind. The values of 0 and 1 are recommended. The value
of 0 is recommended in conjuction with an increase in the number of
NBUF's and the number of dirty buffers allowed (vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers).
Note that a value of 0 will radically increase the dirty buffer load on
the system. Future work on write_behind behavior will use values 2 and
greater for testing purposes.

The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having
QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN,
QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean
and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM
assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf()
has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is,
it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to
allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer
when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for
the buffer cache).
Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed
in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer
flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions
unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate
VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to
flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation
where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that
was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon
called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers
when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit.
This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers
are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block.
The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the
8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of
memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed
somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the
intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future.
reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which
could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions,
such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This
algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted
if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to
the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but
not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously
occured when write_behind was turned off in the system.
The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive
P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem
buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set
this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose
of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.
A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c.

Make the change similar to that suggested by Nick Hibma to avoid divide by
zero traps. I actually can't believe that this compiler is *sooooo* stupid
that it did a divide when there was 1024L*1024L instead of a right shift by
20. When we get quad type modifiers in kernel printf we can change to this
too (to avoid overflow on > terabyte disk sizes).
Improve compatibility with other systems by changing the default
behavior slightly.
If machine/bus.h is included, but neither bus_memio.h nor bus_pio.h
are included, then behave as if both were included.
This won't change existing drivers, all of which include one or more
of bus_{p,mem}io.h, but will allow drivers from other systems to come
over with fewer changes. I freely admit that this might not be
optimal for some drivers, but those drivers can be optimized for
FreeBSD after the initial bringup happens.
Without the change, there is a bug that preclude drivers from
compiling with strange warning/errors.
I've been running this here for a while now w/o ill effects.

Delete the 'device-driver' suffix. It's been meaningless for a long time.
On the VAX, it used to be used for special compilation to avoid the
optimizer which would mess with memory mapped devices etc. These days
we use 'volatile'.
EGCS assign weak symbols to inline functions it couldn't inline (e.g. virtual
inline functions), template functions, etc. Omitting them result in quite bogus
profile.
Weak symbols created by __weak_reference are not really problem.
Fixed regression of $Id$ to "from: $Header$" in previous commit.
The `from:' was already corrupted by expansion of $Header$ in in
rev.1.1; rev.1.2 replaced it by $Id$. Put $Id$ in the usual place
this time.
