# 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.

# 255426 09-Sep-2013 jhb

Add a mmap flag (MAP_32BIT) on 64-bit platforms to request that a mapping use
an address in the first 2GB of the process's address space. This flag should
have the same semantics as the same flag on Linux.

To facilitate this, add a new parameter to vm_map_find() that specifies an
optional maximum virtual address. While here, fix several callers of
vm_map_find() to use a VMFS_* constant for the findspace argument instead of
TRUE and FALSE.

# 233207 19-Mar-2012 tijl

Copy i386 specialreg.h to x86 and merge with amd64 specialreg.h. Replace
amd64/i386/pc98 specialreg.h with stubs.


# 233204 19-Mar-2012 tijl

Copy i386 psl.h to x86 and replace amd64/i386/pc98 psl.h with stubs.


# 233203 19-Mar-2012 tijl

Move userland bits (and some common kernel bits) from amd64 and i386
segments.h to a new x86 segments.h.

Add __packed attribute to some structs (just to be sure).
Also make it clear that i386 GDT and LDT entries are used in ia64 code.


# 225617 16-Sep-2011 kmacy

In order to maximize the re-usability of kernel code in user space this
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility
calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.

# 220238 01-Apr-2011 kib

Add support for executing the FreeBSD 1/i386 a.out binaries on amd64.

In particular:
- implement compat shims for old stat(2) variants and ogetdirentries(2);
- implement delivery of signals with ancient stack frame layout and
corresponding sigreturn(2);
- implement old getpagesize(2);
- provide a user-mode trampoline and LDT call gate for lcall $7,$0;
- port a.out image activator and connect it to the build as a module
on amd64.

The changes are hidden under COMPAT_43.

MFC after: 1 month


# 211006 07-Aug-2010 kib

Prefer struct sysentvec sv_psstrings to hardcoding FREEBSD32_PS_STRINGS
in the compat32 code. Use sv_usrstack instead of FREEBSD32_USRSTACK as well.

MFC after: 1 week


# 205642 25-Mar-2010 nwhitehorn

Change the arguments of exec_setregs() so that it receives a pointer
to the image_params struct instead of several members of that struct
individually. This makes it easier to expand its arguments in the future
without touching all platforms.

# 163058 06-Oct-2006 marcel

Include freebsd32_signal.h now that signal-related definitions are
moved there.

Found by: ia64 tinderbox.


# 151316 14-Oct-2005 davidxu

1. Change prototype of trapsignal and sendsig to use ksiginfo_t *, most
changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.

2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.

3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.

4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.

5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.

6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.

# 150631 27-Sep-2005 peter

Implement 32 bit getcontext/setcontext/swapcontext on amd64. I've added
stubs for ia64 to keep it compiling. These are used by 32 bit apps such
as gdb.


# 149924 10-Sep-2005 marcel

Move the ia32_sigcode structure from ia32_sigtramp.c to ia32_signal.c.
It's a bit excessive to have it in a file of its own.


# 123629 18-Dec-2003 peter

Add missing #include "opt_compat.h" so that the compatability function
freebsd4_freebsd32_sigreturn() is defined when expected. This should
unbreak the tinderbox. Sorry.


# 123423 10-Dec-2003 peter

Assimilate ia64 back into the fold with the common freebsd32/ia32 code.
The split-up code is derived from the ia64 code originally.

Note that I have only compile-tested this, not actually run-tested it.
The ia64 side of the force is missing some significant chunks of signal
delivery code.


# 120422 24-Sep-2003 peter

Add sysentvec->sv_fixlimits() hook so that we can catch cases on 64 bit
systems where the data/stack/etc limits are too big for a 32 bit process.

Move the 5 or so identical instances of ELF_RTLD_ADDR() into imgact_elf.c.

Supply an ia32_fixlimits function. Export the clip/default values to
sysctl under the compat.ia32 heirarchy.

Have mmap(0, ...) respect the current p->p_limits[RLIMIT_DATA].rlim_max
value rather than the sysctl tweakable variable. This allows mmap to
place mappings at sensible locations when limits have been reduced.

Have the imgact_elf.c ld-elf.so.1 placement algorithm use the same
method as mmap(0, ...) now does.

Note that we cannot remove all references to the sysctl tweakable
maxdsiz etc variables because /etc/login.conf specifies a datasize
of 'unlimited'. And that causes exec etc to fail since it can no
longer find space to mmap things.


# 119015 17-Aug-2003 gordon

Fixup the ELF branding information to point to the new home of rtld.


# 115084 16-May-2003 marcel

Revamp of the syscall path, exception and context handling. The
prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).

Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)

Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.

Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.

Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.

This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.

# 102808 01-Sep-2002 jake

Added fields for VM_MIN_ADDRESS, PS_STRINGS and stack protections to
sysentvec. Initialized all fields of all sysentvecs, which will allow
them to be used instead of constants in more places. Provided stack
fixup routines for emulations that previously used the default.


# 100384 20-Jul-2002 peter

Infrastructure tweaks to allow having both an Elf32 and an Elf64 executable
handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.

Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

Obtained from: dfr (mostly, many tweaks from me).
