# 301700 08-Jun-2016 andrew

Remove the ARMv4/ARMv5 userland atomic support from struct proc on armv6.
Nothing should use this on armv6 as we use the atomic instructions added in
ARMv6k.

# 290273 02-Nov-2015 zbb

Add support for branch instruction on armv7 with ptrace single step

Previous code supported only "continuous" code without any kind of
branch instructions. To change that, new function was implemented
which parses current instruction and returns an addres where
the jump might happen (alternative addr).
mdthread structure was extended to support two breakpoints
(one directly below current instruction and the second placed
at the alternative location).
One of them must trigger regardless the instruction has or has not been
executed due to condition field.
Upon cleanup, both software breakpoints are removed.

This implementation parses only the most common instructions
that are present in the code (like 99.99% of all), but there
is a chance there are some left, not covered by the parsing routine.
Parsing is done only for 32-bit instruction, no Thumb nor Thumb-2
support is provided.

Typo.

We only support the ARM EABI in head, remove the check on __ARM_EABI__.


# 283034 17-May-2015 andrew

Clean up struct syscall_args:
1. Align to a 64-bit address so 64-bit data will be correctly aligned.
2. Add a comment explaining why.
3. Remove an unneeded value from the struct.

This fixes an issue where the struct may not be correctly aligned on the
stack in the syscall function. This may lead to accesing a 64-bit value
at a non 64-bit. This will raise an exception and panic the kernel.

We have been lucky where on arm and armv6 both clang and gcc correctly
align the data, even without us asking to, however, on armeb with clang to
not be the case. This tells the compiler we really do need this to be
aligned.

# 276638 03-Jan-2015 ian

Add a new trap-v6.c which has support for all armv7 exceptions. This
mostly paves the way for the new pmap code, and shouldn't result in any
noticible behavior differences.

if arm64 happens...

# 207152 24-Apr-2010 kib

Move the constants specifying the size of struct kinfo_proc into
machine-specific header files. Add KINFO_PROC32_SIZE for struct
kinfo_proc32 for architectures providing COMPAT_FREEBSD32. Add
CTASSERT for the size of struct kinfo_proc32.

# 144637 04-Apr-2005 jhb

Divorce critical sections from spinlocks. Critical sections as denoted by
critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.

Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.

This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).
