Add support for the extended FPU states on amd64, both for native 64bit and 32bit ABIs. As a side-effect, it enables AVX on capable CPUs.
In particular:
- Query the CPU support for XSAVE, list of the supported extensions and the required size of FPU save area. The hw.use_xsave tunable is provided for disabling XSAVE, and hw.xsave_mask may be used to select the enabled extensions.
- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the (run-time sized) user save area on the top of the kernel stack, right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.
- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.
- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and enabled.
- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag, allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended state in the interrupted context.
- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query extended FPU state.
- Add ptrace(2) support for getting and setting extended state; while there, implement missed PT_I386_{GET,SET}XMMREGS for 32bit binaries.
- Change fpu_kern KPI to not expose struct fpu_kern_ctx layout to consumers, making it opaque. Internally, struct fpu_kern_ctx now contains a space for the extended state. Convert in-kernel consumers of fpu_kern KPI both on i386 and amd64.
First version of the support for AVX was submitted by Tim Bird <tim.bird am sony com> on behalf of Sony. This version was written from scratch.

Change the segment limits to 4GB, we set the user accessible bit on all of the kernel address space already. Intel recommend this anyway, because using a non-4GB limit adds an additional clock cycle to address generation. We were able to install 4GB segments into the LDT, so any limits we imposed on %cs and %ds were academic anyway. More importantly, this allows us to make a page in the kernel readable to user applications, for holding things like the signal trampoline and other fun things.
Move the user %cs/%ds segments from the LDT to the GDT. There was no good reason for them to be there anyway. The old LDT entries are still there but we can now relax the restriction that prevented users from emptying the default LDT entries.
Putting user and kernel %cs and %ds together allows us to access the fast sysenter/sysexit/syscall/sysret instructions. syscall/sysret in particular require that the user/kernel segments be laid out this way. Reserve a slot specifically for NDIS while here.
Create two user controllable slots in the GDT that are context switched with the (kernel) thread. This allows user applications to set two user privilige selectors to arbitary values. Create i386_set_fsbase(void *base) and friends. (get/set, fs/gs). For i386, %gs is used by tls and the thread libraries and this means that user processes no longer have to have the cost of having a custom LDT, and we will no longer to do a ldt switch when activating a kthread/ithread in the usual case any more.
In other words, we can now set the base address for %fs and %gs to arbitary addresses without the pain of messing with ldt segments.

o Move copyin()/copyout() out of i386_{get,set}_ldt() and i386_{get,set}_ioperm() and make those APIs visible in the kernel namespace;
o use i386_{get,set}_ldt() and i386_{get,set}_ioperm() instead of sysarch() in the linuxlator, which allows to kill another two stackgaps.

Begin an invasion of i386-land by amd64.
Expose some of the amd64-specific sysarch functions to allow alternative implementations of the %fs/%gs code for TLS, threads, etc. USER_LDT does not exist on the amd64 kernel, so we have to implement things other ways.

Provide sysarch(2) prototypes in the MD sysarch.h headers. While I'm at it, use the ANSI C generic pointer type for the second argument, thus matching the documentation.
Remove the now extraneous (and now conflicting) function declarations in various libc sources. Remove now unnecessary casts.

Allow foot shooting as Linux emulation needs it. Also change "Auto mode" to use a "special" value instead of 0, and define and document it. I had thought libpthread had already been switched to use auto mode but it appears that patch hasn't been committed yet.

Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL" is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.

Some reorganization of sysarch() interface: 1. Move definitions of struct i386_*_args to the header file sysarch.h, since they are part of the sysarch API. struct i386_get_ldt_args and i386_set_ldt_args were identical, therefore make them into one struct i386_ldt_args. Libc should use these definitions as well. 2. Return a more sensible EOPNOTSUPP for unknown operations.

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.
