# 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.

# 163018 05-Oct-2006 davidxu

Move some declaration of 32-bit signal structures into file
freebsd32-signal.h, implement sigtimedwait and sigwaitinfo system calls.


# 126090 21-Feb-2004 peter

DOH!!! Fix signals for freebsd-4.x/i386 binaries. The ucontext has
different alignments due to the sse fxsave dump area.


# 119334 22-Aug-2003 peter

Initial sweep at dividing up the generic 32bit-on-64bit kernel support
from the ia32 specific stuff. Some of this still needs to move to the MI
freebsd32 area, and some needs to move to the MD area. This is still
work-in-progress.


# 118031 25-Jul-2003 obrien

Use __FBSDID().

# 114987 14-May-2003 peter

Add BASIC i386 binary support for the amd64 kernel. This is largely
stolen from the ia64/ia32 code (indeed there was a repocopy), but I've
redone the MD parts and added and fixed a few essential syscalls. It
is sufficient to run i386 binaries like /bin/ls, /usr/bin/id (dynamic)
and p4. The ia64 code has not implemented signal delivery, so I had
to do that.

Before you say it, yes, this does need to go in a common place. But
we're in a freeze at the moment and I didn't want to risk breaking ia64.
I will sort this out after the freeze so that the common code is in a
common place.

On the AMD64 side, this required adding segment selector context switch
support and some other support infrastructure. The %fs/%gs etc code
is hairy because loading %gs will clobber the kernel's current MSR_GSBASE
setting. The segment selectors are not used by the kernel, so they're only
changed at context switch time or when changing modes. This still needs
to be optimized.
