1 - ptrace(2) syscall for native emulation
2 - common ptrace(2) syscall code (shared with compat_netbsd32)
3 - support routines that are shared with PROCFS and/or KTRACE
* Add module glue for #1 and #2. Both modules will be built-in to the
kernel if "options PTRACE" is included in the config file (this is
the default, defined in sys/conf/std).
* Mark the ptrace(2) syscall as modular in syscalls.master (generated
files will be committed shortly).
* Conditionalize all remaining portions of PTRACE code on a new kernel
option PTRACE_HOOKS.
XXX Instead of PROCFS depending on 'options PTRACE', we should probably
just add a procfs attribute to the sys/kern/sys_process.c file's
entry in files.kern, and add PROCFS to the "#if defineds" for
process_domem(). It's really confusing to have two different ways
of requiring this file.
as well use __strong_alias instead of __weak_alias. Some toolchains
such as the cygwin pecoff one get weak aliases a bit wrong, so avoiding
unnecessary weak alises helps there.
or do not link in subr_userconf.c and x86_userconf.c.
Provide no-op stubs for userconf_bootinfo(), userconf_init(), and
userconf_prompt().
Delete all occurrences of #include "opt_userconf.h" as well as USERCONF
and __HAVE_USERCONF_BOOTINFO #ifdef'age.
weak aliases device_register(9) and device_register_post_config(9)
for the stub routine voidop(). Get rid of __HAVE_DEVICE_REGISTER and
__HAVE_DEVICE_REGISTER_POST_CONFIG.
for pci_chipset_tag_create() and pci_chipset_tag_destroy(). On
architectures that support it, an MI PCI bus driver can override the
architecture's default pci(9) and pci_intr(9) implementation.
Coming up next: documentation.
After that: x86 implementation.
Last but not least: make cbb(4) use MI PCI overrides.
bus_space_tag_create(9), and bus_space_tag_destroy(9). Use
bus_space_is_equal(9) throughout the kernel to compare
bus_space_tag_t's. Tested on i386 and on sparc64.
of transitions to IPL_HIGH from lower IPLs. SPLDEBUG is only available
on i386 and Xen kernels, today.
'options SPLDEBUG' adds instrumentation to spllower() and splraise() as
well as routines to start/stop debugging and to record IPL transitions:
spldebug_start(), spldebug_stop(), spldebug_raise(), spldebug_lower().
that can't happen as early as the other init functions as called from
cpu_startup() -- for example, register kauth(9) listeners.
Put unprivileged policy in the x86 code; used by i386, amd64, and xen.
into modules. By and large this commit:
- shuffles header files and ifdefs
- splits code out where necessary to be modular
- adds module glue for each of the components
- adds/replaces hooks for things that can be installed at runtime
proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.

int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
