This areas is called the comm pages. It is used to provide fast access to
several data and functions.
The comm pages are mapped starting at 0xffff800 (address chosed so that
absolute branch can be used, so it can be accessed even when dynamic linking
is not ready). NetBSD has the user stack here, so we need to provide a
Darwin-specific stack setup routine which sets the top of the stack at
0xbfff0000.
This implementation is not complete but it does enough to get MacOS X.3
starting again (static binaries run, dynamic binaries still have an issue).
in the comm pages functions, we only implement bcopy, pthread_self and
memcpy.
TODO:
- clean up the powerpc specific code from MD parts
- for now we map only one page to avoid a crash, we want two pages.
- write all the comm functions.

doesn't advance while we're waiting on the lock. In fact, try to take
the lock even before blocking interrupts: the lock is locking "lasttime"
against other callers of cc_microtime(), not against the clock routines,
and if we take a clock interrupt while waiting for the lock, that's one
we don't have to take after the computations, but before returning to
the caller, and that makes the data a little fresher to the caller.
Moreover, inverting the order of splXXX() and simple_lock() permits us
to unblock interrupts before doing the long division.
With this, finally, performance of "ntpd" on my MP i386 seems to be no
worse than on non-MP i386, so this may fix PR kern/24207.

overloading "usec". The counter isn't counting micro-seconds, and using
the same variable to mean two different things is false economy: with
this change, the compiled object is 72 bytes smaller on i386, and the
code is easier to understand, to boot.
We do an MGETHDR)() for each mbuf "packet" of the input chain, to hold
the socket address prepended to that "packet". If those MGETHDR()s
ever failed, we would leak all the successfully-allocated mbuf
headers. Leak noted by Yamamoto-san (yamt@NetBSD.org); thanks for catching it!
Add socketbuf invariant-checking macros to sbappendaddrchain(), and
replace a stray bcopy() with memcpy(), also as suggested by Yamamoto-san.
Fix a potential race condition when reallocating storage for file descriptors
(even for non-SMP kernels).
Add missing locks for `struct file' ref count updates.
Introduce new socket-layer function sbappendaddrchain() to
sys/kern/uipc_socket2.c: like sbappendaddr(), only takes a chain of
records and appends the entire chain in one pass. sbappendaddrchain()
also takes an `sbprio' argument, which indicates the caller requires
special `reliable' handling of the socket-buffer. `sbprio' is
described in sys/sys/socketvar.h, although (for now) the different
levels are not yet implemented.
Rework sys/netipsec/key.c PF_KEY DUMP responses to build a chain of
mbuf records, one record per dump response. Unicast the entire chain

Snapshots may not be opened for writing and the attributes are read-only.

Add a new explicit `struct proc *p' argument to socreate(), sosend().
Use that argument instead of curproc. Follow-on changes to pass that
argument to socreate(), sosend(), and (*so->so_send)() calls.
These changes reviewed and independently recoded by Matt Thomas.
Changes to soreceive() and (*dom->dom_exernalize() from Matt Thomas:
pass soreceive()'s struct uio* uio->uio_procp to unp_externalize().
Eliminate curproc from unp_externalize. Also, now soreceive() uses
its uio->uio_procp value, pass that same value downward to
((pr->pru_usrreq)() calls for consistency, instead of (struct proc * )0.
Similar changes in sys/nfs to eliminate (most) uses of curproc,
either via the req-> r_procp field of a struct nfsreq *req argument,
or by passing down new explicit struct proc * arguments.
