message buffer has not yet been set up, mimicking code from the top of
the sysctl routine for retrieving the message buffer.
(2) Add a /l modifier to the trace command. This makes it print the
backtrace using printf() instead of db_printf(), which has the nice
side-effect of also putting it into the message buffer. A kernel with
ddb in it but disabled (ie, ddb.onpanic set to zero) will print a
backtrace (which ends up in the message buffer) before dumping (or
not, depending on the value of kern.dump_on_panic) and rebooting, but
if ddb is not disabled, the backtrace is not printed, and there's no
way to get it to display a backtrace such that you can retrieve it
after the dump. The backtrace printed by gdb is sometimes a little
different.

breakpoint address before it's used. Currently a no-op on all but sh5.
This is useful on sh5, for example, to mask off the instruction
type encoding in the bottom two address bits, and makes it possible
to do "db> break $rXX" instead of manually munging the address.
done by Artur Grabowski and Thomas Nordin for OpenBSD, which is more
efficient in several ways than the callwheel implementation that it is
replacing. It has been adapted to our pre-existing callout API, and
also provides the slightly more efficient (and much more intuitive)
API (adapted to the callout_*() naming scheme) that the OpenBSD version
provides.
Among other things, this shaves a bunch of cycles off rescheduling-in-
the-future a callout which is already scheduled, which the common case
for TCP timers (notably REXMT and KEEP).
The API has been simplified a bit, as well. The (very confusing to
a good many people) "ACTIVE" state for callouts has gone away. There
is now only "PENDING" (scheduled to fire in the future) and "EXPIRED"
(has fired, and the function called).
Kernel version bump not done; we'll ride the 1.6N bump that happened
with the malloc(9) change.
Add support for cpus where sizeof(register_t) is not necessarily
the same as sizeof(void *). This is the case on SH5 using the
ILP32 ABI. On this cpu db_expr_t is, necessarily, 64-bits.
Unfortunately, in ILP32 mode, ddb will only display the low 32-bits
of any expression, including registers...
Make some variables and functions static when not used outside of a module.
Make variables in headers extern.
Delete the unused db_find_watchpoint() function.
writes to a string rather than outputs to the supplied printer.
This is convenient for disassemblers that are structured to
build a long string and print it later.
Perhaps db_printsym() should be changed to use this interface...
- replace opt_kgdb_machdep.h with opt_kgdb.h
- defparam opt_kgdb.h:
KGDB_DEV KGDB_DEVNAME KGDB_DEVADDR KGDB_DEVRATE KGDB_DEVMODE
- move from opt_ddbparam.h to opt_ddb.h:
DDB_FROMCONSOLE DDB_ONPANIC DDB_HISTORY_SIZE DDB_BREAK_CHAR SYMTAB_SPACE
- replace KGDBDEV with KGDB_DEV
- replace KGDBADDR with KGDB_DEVADDR
- replace KGDBMODE with KGDB_DEVMODE
- replace KGDBRATE with KGDB_DEVRATE
- use `9600' instead of `0x2580' for 9600 baud rate
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEVNAME="\"com\""
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEV="17*256+0"
- remove unnecessary dependancy on Makefile for kgdb_stub.o
- minor whitespace cleanup
"earliest" firing callout in a bucket. This allows us to skip
the scan up the bucket if no callouts are due in the bucket.
A cheap O(1) hint update is done at callout insertion (if new callout
is earlier than hint) and removal (is bucket empty). A thorough
refresh of the hint is done when the bucket is traversed.
This doesn't matter much on machines with small values of hz
(e.g. i386), but on systems with large values of hz (e.g. Alpha),
it has a definite positive effect.
Also, keep the callwheel stats in evcnts, so that you can view them
with "vmstat -e".
This will allow improvements to the pmaps so that they can more easily defer expensive operations, eg tlb/cache flush, til the last possible moment.
Currently this is a no-op on most platforms, so they should see no difference.

in order to load the symbol table. Instead of using the sections
called ".symtab" and ".strtab", use the first SYMTAB section (the
ELF spec says there should currently only be one) and the STRTAB
section that's linked to it. I believe this is more robust, and it
certainly makes life easier for the bootloader.

- New pmap and revised trap handler.
- Support on-chip timers, PCI controller, UARTs
- Framework for on-chip ethernet and watchdog timer.
General PowerPC features:
- Add in-kernel PPC floating point emulation
- New in{,4}_cksum that is between 1.5 and 5 times faster than the
old version depending on CPU type.

These calls are relatively conservative. It may be possible to
optimize these a little more.

watchdogs that should be disabled while in ddb. Done as a callback
for processors such as mips that support lots of different systems.
"preserving" implies that the data may be copied and might otherwise
be freed, and that other data in the symbol table or sections of
the kernel might be freed, however there is no mechanism for these
things to take place, so "using" is clearer.

type (and throwing away the small one). In addition to being cleaner,
multiple symbol tables are no longer and error condition, so
booting netbsd.gdb no longer results in ddb being unable to use
*any* symbols.

The "ditto" character is " (double-quote); not , (comma) as
indicated in the manpage; and not ' (single-quote) as indicated
in the man.old -style manpage from which the mdoc manpage was derived.
Some other versions of ddb use single-quote for this feature, and this
part of the code may change again in the near future, but the documentation
now affects reality now.

The DDB-specific %n code should disappear from subr_prf.c soon...
from db_stack_trace_cmd() to db_stack_trace_print(),
and add an additional argument, a function pointer for an
output routine (i.e. printf() or db_printf()).
Add db_stack_trace_cmd() in db_command.[ch], calling
db_stack_trace_print() with db_printf() as the printer.
Move count==-1 special handling from db_stack_trace_print() [nee
db_stack_trace_cmd()] to db_stack_trace_cmd() [nascent here].

so advance apologies for potential brokenness.

While straightforward, apologies in advance if I've introduced any minor
syntax errors; I was unable to test compilation this on all the affected
platforms.

Extremely useful for when you forget that critical symbol name.
Also, with /F support (cf. "ls -F") to print a char indicating the
