module hook, we can share a common set of synchronization structures.
This cuts the amount of cacheline_aligned data for these structures by
50%.
Note that we still have a per-hook localcount, since we need to count
individual references.

Welcome to 9.99.22 !
These functions are defined on unsigned int. The generic name
min/max should not silently truncate to 32 bits on 64-bit systems.
This is purely a name change -- no functional change intended.
HOWEVER! Some subsystems have
#define min(a, b) ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))
#define max(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
even though our standard name for that is MIN/MAX. Although these
may invite multiple evaluation bugs, these do _not_ cause integer
truncation.
To avoid `fixing' these cases, I first changed the name in libkern,
and then compile-tested every file where min/max occurred in order to
confirm that it failed -- and thus confirm that nothing shadowed
min/max -- before changing it.
I have left a handful of bootloaders that are too annoying to
compile-test, and some dead code:
cobalt ews4800mips hp300 hppa ia64 luna68k vax
acorn32/if_ie.c (not included in any kernels)
macppc/if_gm.c (superseded by gem(4))
It should be easy to fix the fallout once identified -- this way of
doing things fails safe, and the goal here, after all, is to _avoid_
silent integer truncations, not introduce them.
Maybe one day we can reintroduce min/max as type-generic things that
never silently truncate. But we should avoid doing that for a while,
so that existing code has a chance to be detected by the compiler for
conversion to uimin/uimax without changing the semantics until we can
properly audit it all. (Who knows, maybe in some cases integer
truncation is actually intended!)
entry-point is either sys_nomodule or sys_nosys. Update the
makesyscalls.sh script to create a const array of bits to allow
syscall_disestablish() to properly restore the original entry-point.
Update all the initializers of struct emul to initialize the pointer
to the bit array struct emul.
XXX Regen of all files created by makesyscalls.sh will come soon,
XXX followed by a kernel version bump (since struct emul is being
XXX modified).
This commit should address PR kern/45781 and also removes the need
for the work-around for that PR in file
sys/arch/usermode/modules/syscallemu/syscallemu.c
e_tracesig used to be implemented for Darwin compat. Nowadays the Darwin
compatiblity layer is gone and there are no other users.
This functionality isn't used where it shall be used in the existing
codebase.
If we want to emulate debugging interfaces in compat layers we would need
to implement that from scratch anyway. We would need to be bug compatible
with other OSes too.
Proposed on tech-kern@.

This system call was used in legacy Lisp code, that was inherited to modern
age and still compiled against supported compat layers (e.g. in clisp,
oaklisp, Franz Lisp).
It used to instruct the kernel about paging policy (G/C aware, flush etc).
Newly compiled code (assuming that it will detect vadvise()) will use the
libc stub for vadvise(). The headers for this interface are gone.
vadvise(2) could be marked as COMPAT_80, but as long as we support ultrix,
sunos or aout68k ABI, don't bother with this.

drive instead of its associated vfsops. Makes it more friendly, and allows
compat binaries to autoload VFS modules if needed.

- 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.
