avoid having to allocate space in the 'stackgap'
- which is very LWP unfriendly.
The additional code for non-emulation namei() is trivial, the reduction for
the emulations is massive.
The vnode for a processes emulation root is saved in the cwdi structure
during process exec.
If the emulation root the TRYEMULROOT flag are set, namei() will do an initial
search for absolute pathnames in the emulation root, if that fails it will
retry from the normal root.
".." at the emulation root will always go to the real root, even in the middle
of paths and when expanding symlinks.
Absolute symlinks found using absolute paths in the emulation root will be
relative to the emulation root (so /usr/lib/xxx.so -> /lib/xxx.so links
inside the emulation root don't need changing).
If the root of the emulation would be returned (for an emulation lookup), then
the real root is returned instead (matching the behaviour of emul_lookup,
but being a cheap comparison here) so that programs that scan "../.."
looking for the root dircetory don't loop forever.
The target for symbolic links is no longer mangled (it used to get the
CHECK_ALT_xxx() treatment, so could get /emul/xxx prepended).
CHECK_ALT_xxx() are no more. Most of the change is deleting them, and adding
TRYEMULROOT to the flags to NDINIT().
A lot of the emulation system call stubs could now be deleted.
pointers to and from 64bit kernel pointers. Instead use the defines
NETBSD32PTR64(p32) to read a 32bit pointer and (the new) NETBSD32PTR32(p32,p64)
to write a 32bit pointer throughout.
The 32bit pointer is now a struct to enforce the above.
amd64 (with linux emul) and sparc64 will both compile (when the arch stuff
goes in soon), and amd64 still runs some i386 binaries.
* struct sigacts gets a new sigact_sigdesc structure, which has the
sigaction and the trampoline/version. Version 0 means "legacy kernel
provided trampoline". Other versions are coordinated with machine-
dependent code in libc.
* sigaction1() grows two more arguments -- the trampoline pointer and
the trampoline version.
* A new __sigaction_sigtramp() system call is provided to register a
trampoline along with a signal handler.
* The handler is no longer passed to sensig() functions. Instead,
sendsig() looks up the handler by peeking in the sigacts for the
process getting the signal (since it has to look in there for the
trampoline anyway).
* Native sendsig() functions now select the appropriate trampoline and
its arguments based on the trampoline version in the sigacts.
Changes to libc to use the new facility will be checked in later. Kernel
version not bumped; we will ride the 1.6C bump made recently.
