# 303975 11-Aug-2016 gjb

Copy stable/11@r303970 to releng/11.0 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE
cycle.

Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, and rename it to RC1.

Update __FreeBSD_version.

Use the quarterly branch for the default FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) repo and
the dvd1.iso packages population.

# 302408 08-Jul-2016 gjb

Copy head@r302406 to stable/11 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE cycle.
Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, as nothing has been merged
here.

Additional commits post-branch will follow.

# 290144 29-Oct-2015 jhb

Update for LINUX32 rename. The assembler didn't complain about undefined
symbols but just used 0 after the rename.


# 283432 24-May-2015 dchagin

Being exported through vdso the note.Linux section used by glibc
to determine the kernel version (this saves one uname call).
Temporarily disable the export of a note.Linux section until I figured
out how to change the kernel version in the note.Linux on the fly.

# 283410 24-May-2015 dchagin

Put linux_platform into the vdso to avoid copying it onto the stack at
every exec.

# 283407 24-May-2015 dchagin

Implement vdso - virtual dynamic shared object. Through vdso Linux
exposes functions from kernel with proper DWARF CFI information so that
it becomes easier to unwind through them.
Using vdso is a mandatory for a thread cancelation && cleanup
on a modern glibc.

# 190620 01-Apr-2009 kib

Save and restore segment registers on amd64 when entering and leaving
the kernel on amd64. Fill and read segment registers for mcontext and
signals. Handle traps caused by restoration of the
invalidated selectors.

Implement user-mode creation and manipulation of the process-specific
LDT descriptors for amd64, see sysarch(2).

Implement support for TSS i/o port access permission bitmap for amd64.

Context-switch LDT and TSS. Do not save and restore segment registers on
the context switch, that is handled by kernel enter/leave trampolines
now. Remove segment restore code from the signal trampolines for
freebsd/amd64, freebsd/ia32 and linux/i386 for the same reason.

Implement amd64-specific compat shims for sysarch.

Linuxolator (temporary ?) switched to use gsbase for thread_area pointer.

TODO:
Currently, gdb is not adapted to show segment registers from struct reg.
Also, no machine-depended ptrace command is added to set segment
registers for debugged process.

# 187948 31-Jan-2009 obrien

Change some movl's to mov's. Newer GAS no longer accept 'movl' instructions
for moving between a segment register and a 32-bit memory location.

# 182849 07-Sep-2008 kib

Segment registers are stored in the uc_mcontext member of the struct
l_ucontext. To restore the registers content, trampoline needs to
dereference uc_mcontext instead of taking some undefined values from
l_ucontext.

# 168035 30-Mar-2007 jkim

MFP4: Linux set_thread_area syscall (aka TLS) support for amd64.

Initial version was submitted by Divacky Roman and mostly rewritten by me.

Tested by: emulation


# 133819 16-Aug-2004 tjr

Add preliminary support for running 32-bit Linux binaries on amd64, enabled
with the COMPAT_LINUX32 option. This is largely based on the i386 MD Linux
emulations bits, but also builds on the 32-bit FreeBSD and generic IA-32
binary emulation work.

Some of this is still a little rough around the edges, and will need to be
revisited before 32-bit and 64-bit Linux emulation support can coexist in
the same kernel.
