# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 247047 20-Feb-2013 kib

Convert machine/elf.h, machine/frame.h, machine/sigframe.h,
machine/signal.h and machine/ucontext.h into common x86 includes,
copying from amd64 and merging with i386.

Kernel-only compat definitions are kept in the i386/include/sigframe.h
and i386/include/signal.h, to reduce amd64 kernel namespace pollution.
The amd64 compat uses its own definitions so far.

The _MACHINE_ELF_WANT_32BIT definition is to allow the
sys/boot/userboot/userboot/elf32_freebsd.c to use i386 ELF definitions
on the amd64 compile host. The same hack could be usefully abused by
other code too.


# 105950 25-Oct-2002 peter

Split 4.x and 5.x signal handling so that we can keep 4.x signal
handling clean and functional as 5.x evolves. This allows some of the
nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.

Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.

Tested on: i386, alpha, ia64. Compiled on sparc64 (a few days ago).

# 90776 17-Feb-2002 deischen

Use struct __ucontext in prototypes and associated functions instead of
ucontext_t. Forward declare struct __ucontext in <sys/signal.h> and
remove reliance on <sys/ucontext.h> being included.

While I'm here, also hide osigcontext types from userland; suggested
by bde.

# 53106 12-Nov-1999 marcel

register_t.

# 51984 07-Oct-1999 marcel

Simplification of the signal trampoline and other cleanups.

o Remove unused defines from genassym.c that were needed
by the trampoline.
o Add load_gs_param function to support.s that catches
a fault when %gs is loaded with an invalid descriptor.
The function returns EFAULT in that case.
o Remove struct trapframe from mcontext_t and replace it
with the list of registers.
o Modify sendsig and sigreturn accordingly.

This commit contains a patch by bde.

# 51907 03-Oct-1999 marcel

Fix style bugs caused by using the wrong file to copy from. That one
gets fixed later on.

Reinstate the mysterious 4th argument to signal handlers and add some
comments on that.


# 51792 29-Sep-1999 marcel

sigset_t change (part 3 of 5)
-----------------------------

By introducing a new sigframe so that the signal handler operates
on the new siginfo_t and on ucontext_t instead of sigcontext, we
now need two version of sendsig and sigreturn.

A flag in struct proc determines whether the process expects an
old sigframe or a new sigframe. The signal trampoline handles
which sigreturn to call. It does this by testing for a magic
cookie in the frame.

The alpha uses osigreturn to implement longjmp. This means that
osigreturn is not only used for compatibility with existing
binaries. To handle the new sigset_t, setjmp saves it in
sc_reserved (see NOTE).

the struct sigframe has been moved from frame.h to sigframe.h
to handle the complex header dependencies that was caused by
the new sigframe.

NOTE: For the i386, the size of jmp_buf has been increased to hold
the new sigset_t. On the alpha this has been prevented by
using sc_reserved in sigcontext.
