Add an MDL_COMPAT32 flag to the lwp's md_flags, set it for 32bit lwps
and use it to force 'return to user' with iret (as is done when
MDL_IRET is set).
Split the iret/sysret code paths much later.
Remove all the replicated code for 32bit system calls - which was only
needed so that iret was always used.
frameasm.h for XEN contains '#define swapgs', while XEN probable never
needs swapgs, this is likely to be confusing.
Add a SWAPGS which is a nop on XEN and swapgs otherwise.
(I've not yet checked all the swapgs in files that include frameasm.h)
Simple x86 programs still work.
Hijack 6.99.9 kernel bump (needed for compat32 modules)
It is wishful thinking that:
1. declaring a 32 bit syscall with 64 bit pointers
2. passing a struct with 32 bit pointers to a 64 bit function
is going to work.
version or the 32bit compat layout in execve1. Introduce a new function
copyin_psstrings for reading it back from userland and converting it to
the native layout. Refactor procfs to share most of the code with the
kern.proc_args sysctl handler.
This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.

- update the linux syscall table for each platform.
- support new-style (NPTL) linux pthreads on all platforms.
clone() with CLONE_THREAD uses 1 process with many LWPs
instead of separate processes.
- move the contents of sys__lwp_setprivate() into a new
lwp_setprivate() and use that everywhere.
- update linux_release[] and linux32_release[] to "2.6.18".
- adjust placement of emul fork/exec/exit hooks as needed
and adjust other emul code to match.
- convert all struct emul definitions to use named initializers.
- change the pid allocator to allow multiple pids to refer to the same proc.
- remove a few fields from struct proc that are no longer needed.
- disable the non-functional "vdso" code in linux32/amd64,
glibc works fine without it.
- fix a race in the futex code where we could miss a wakeup after
a requeue operation.
- redo futex locking to be a little more efficient.
per-page execution right was disabled (therefore leading to the inability
of the kernel to detect fraudulent use of memory mappings marked as not
being executable).
- replace cpu_feature and ci_feature_flags variables by cpu_feature and
ci_feat_val arrays. This makes it cleaner and brings kernel code closer
to the design of cpuctl(8). A warning will be raised for each CPU that
does not expose the same features as the Boot Processor (BP).
- the blacklist of CPU features is now a macro defined in the
specialreg.h header, instead of hardcoding it inside MD initialization
code; fix comments.
- replace checks against CPUID_TSC with the cpu_hascounter() function.
- clean up the code in init_x86_64(), as cpu_feature variables are set
inside cpu_probe().
- use cpu_init_msrs() for i386. It will be eventually used later for NX
feature under i386 PAE kernels.
- remove code that checks for CPUID_NOX in amd64 mptramp.S, this is already
performed by cpu_hatch() through cpu_init_msrs().
- remove cpu_signature and feature_flags members from struct mpbios_proc
(they were never used).
This patch was tested with i386 MONOLITHIC, XEN3PAE_DOM0 and XEN3_DOM0 under
a native i386 host, and amd64 GENERIC, XEN3_DOM0 via QEMU virtual machines.
XXX Should kernel rev be bumped?
XXX A similar patch should be pulled-up for NetBSD-5, hopefully tomorrow.
to parse and generate the compat name and basename (e.g. __stat50
and stat). Use this to autogenerate __RENAME()'s to the rump_syscalls
header so that they can be called e.g. rump_sys_socket() instead
of rump_sys___socket30().
