# 272461 02-Oct-2014 gjb

Copy stable/10@r272459 to releng/10.1 as part of
the 10.1-RELEASE process.

Approved by: re (implicit)
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

# 256281 10-Oct-2013 gjb

Copy head (r256279) to stable/10 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle.

# 233204 19-Mar-2012 tijl

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


# 128019 07-Apr-2004 imp

Remove advertising clause from University of California Regent's
license, per letter dated July 22, 1999 and email from Peter Wemm,
Alan Cox and Robert Watson.

Approved by: core, peter, alc, rwatson


# 86430 15-Nov-2001 sobomax

Allow bit 21 of EFLAGS register (PSL_ID) be changed in the use-mode without
ill effects. This should fix problems threaded programs are having with
auto-detecting CPU type.

# 50477 27-Aug-1999 peter

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 22975 22-Feb-1997 peter

Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 13765 30-Jan-1996 mpp

Fix a bunch of spelling errors in the comment fields of
a bunch of system include files.


# 5603 14-Jan-1995 bde

Fix security holes in sigreturn(), ptrace() and procfs. sigreturn()
attempted to check for insecure and fatal eflags and segment
selectors, but missed many cases and got the IOPL check back to
front. The other syscalls didn't check at all.

sys_process.c, machdep.c:
Only allow PT_WRITE_U to write to the registers (ordinary and FP).

psl.h, locore.s, machdep.c:
Eliminate PSL_MBZ, PSL_MBO and PSL_USERCLR. We are not supposed
to assume anything about the reserved bits. Use PSL_USERCHANGE
and PSL_KERNEL instead. Rename PSL_USERSET to PSL_USER.

exception.s:
Define a private label for use by doreti when returning to user
mode fails.

machdep.c:
In syscalls, allow changing only the eflags that can be changed on
486's in user mode (no longer attempt to allow benign IOPL changes;
allow changing the nasty PSL_NT; don't allow changing the i586
bits).

Don't attempt to check all the cases involving invalid selectors
and %eip's. Just check for privilege violations and let the invalid
things cause a trap.

procfs_machdep.c:
Call the ptrace register functions to do all the work for reading
and writing ordinary registers and for single stepping.

trap.c:
Ignore traps caused by PSL_NT being set. Previously, users could
cause a fatal trap in user mode by setting PSL_NT and executing an
iret, and a fatal trap in kernel mode by setting PSL_NT and making
a syscall. PSL_NT was cleared too late and not in enough modes to
fix the problem.

Make all traps in user mode (except T_NMI) nonfatal.

Recover from traps caused by attempting to load invalid user
registers in doreti by restarting the traps so that they appear to
occur in user mode.
---

Fix bogons that I noticed while fixing the above:

psl.h:
Fix some comments.

Uniformize idempotency ifdef.

exception.s, machdep.c:
Remove rsvd[0-14]. rsvd0 hasn't been reserved since the 486 came
out. Replace rsvd0 by `align'. rsvd[0-11] used wrong (magic
non-unique) trap numbers. Replace rsvd[1-14] by rsvd.

locore.s:
Enable alignment check flag on 486's and 586's.

machdep.c:
Use a better type for kstack[].

Use TFREGP() to find the registers.

Reformat ptrace functions from SEF to something closer to KNF.

procfs_machdep.c:
The wrong pointer to the registers got fixed as a side effect.

Implement reading and writing of FP registers.

/proc/*/*regs now work (only) for processes that are in memory.

Clean up comments.

trap.c, trap.h:
Remove unused trap types.


# 1998 10-Aug-1994 wollman

Add back in CPU detection copde from 1.1.5. As an added bonus, the
hw.model MIB variable is now declared correctly.


# 1209 23-Feb-1994 hsu

Correct definitions of flags used by sigreturn to validate sigcontext.


# 719 07-Nov-1993 wollman

Made all header files idempotent and moved incorrect common data from
headers into a related source file. Added cons.h as first step towards
moving i386/i386/cons.h to machine/cons.h where it belongs.


# 621 16-Oct-1993 rgrimes

Removed all patch kit headers, sccsid and rcsid strings, put $Id$ in, some
minor cleanup. Added $Id$ to files that did not have any version info, etc


# 5 12-Jun-1993 rgrimes

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r4,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.


# 4 12-Jun-1993 rgrimes

Initial import, 0.1 + pk 0.2.4-B1
