process context ('reaper').
From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.
MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.
g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
- factor out disksubr.c between sun3, sparc and sparc64. Keep the sun3
groveling code to find a NetBSD disklabel in the first sector (so that it
can find a label at the old sun3 LABELOFFSET) as a fallback is not
label at LABELOFFSET, or sun label is present.
- Fix the sun3 LABELOFFSET (was 64, but the kernel wrote the NetBSD label at
128)
- Make next68k disksubr.c always write a next-compatible disklabel.
- remove #ifdef __sparc__ hack from disklabel(8), and change it to issue
a DIOCWDINFO after writing the disklabel to the raw partition in the
-r/-I case (so that the kernel can convert the label if needed).
clean up some other stuff along the way, including:
- use m68k/cacheops.*, remove duplicates from cpu.h.
- centralize a few declarations in (all the copies of) cpu.h.
- define M68K_VAC on platforms which have a VAC.
- switch the sun platforms to the (now common) proc_trampoline().
- do the phys_map thang on the sun platforms too, no reason not to.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
- Switch all m68k-based ports over to __HAVE_SYSCALL_INTERN.
- Add systrace glue.
- Define struct mdproc in <m68k/proc.h> instead of <machine/proc.h>.
(They were all defined exactly the same anyway, other than a couple
of the MDP_* flags.)
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.

each vm_page structure. Add a VM_MDPAGE_INIT() macro to init this
data when pages are initialized by UVM. These macros are mandatory,
but ports may #define them to nothing if they are not needed/used.
This deprecates struct pmap_physseg. As a transitional measure,
allow a port to #define PMAP_PHYSSEG so that it can continue to
use it until its pmap is converted to use VM_MDPAGE_MEMBERS.
Use all this stuff to eliminate a lot of extra work in the Alpha
pmap module (it's smaller and faster now). Changes to other pmap
modules will follow.
call overhead is incurred as we start sprinkling pmap_update() calls
throughout the source tree (no pmaps currently defer operations, but
we are adding the infrastructure to allow them to do so).
