XXX if you have libc after citrus locale import, please recompile libc,
and your applications that use mbstate_t (rather rare). really sorry
for the mess.
only signal handler array sharable between threads
move other random signal stuff from struct proc to struct sigctx
This addresses kern/10981 by Matthew Orgass.
* move all exec-type specific information from struct emul to execsw[] and
provide single struct emul per emulation
* elf:
- kern/exec_elf32.c:probe_funcs[] is gone, execsw[] how has one entry
per emulation and contains pointer to respective probe function
- interp is allocated via MALLOC() rather than on stack
- elf_args structure is allocated via MALLOC() rather than malloc()
* ecoff: the per-emulation hooks moved from alpha and mips specific code
to OSF1 and Ultrix compat code as appropriate, execsw[] has one entry per
emulation supporting ecoff with appropriate probe function
* the makecmds/probe functions don't set emulation, pointer to emulation is
part of appropriate execsw[] entry
* constify couple of structures
running with multi-way caches. Since we know the ops will mostly
hit as we just dirtied those lines a single hit op is cheaper than
an index op for each way.
only allowing one mapping at a time instead of mapping uncached. Done
by removing conflicting mappings from the pmap when entering a new
mapping. UVM will remember and re-fault the requested page when needed
for the original mapping. Originally done to support our internal machine
that does not support uncached memory completely. Not enabled by default
currently. It may make sense to try on the cobalt or sgi ports.
the page is wired down. Flushing both halves of a wired TLB entry resulted
in hangs when in programs called for and released kernel memory
soon after being invoked. In particular, we see this when single-stepping
a process using GDB.
It would be better if we could arrange to use both halves of the TLB
entry for the PCB, but for some reason we frequently end up with things
on an odd page boundary.
pmap_enter() cannot allocate the segmap return failure if PMAP_CANFAIL
instead of sleeping. Otherwise panic. Both alpha and i386 do this. Do
not pmap_enter_pv() until after this is done so the data structures are
not partially allocated. This should prevent pmap_page_protect() from
getting stuck when called from pagedaemon.
for mips_read_statusreg (which was apparently never implemented).
Provide prototypes and implementations for mips_cp0_cause_write,
mips_cp0_status_read, and mips_cp0_status_write. (Writing can, of
course, be quite dangerous.)
with a MIPS4 option at this point -- all the code except for one single
spot is conditionalized with MIPS3. So, don't even pretend about
MIPS4 for now, until it all gets cleaned up.
