MFC r226065:
Convert MIPS to the syscallenter/syscallret system call sequence handlers.

Extend struct sysvec with new method sv_schedtail, which is used for an
explicit process at fork trampoline path instead of eventhadler(schedtail)
invocation for each child process.

Remove eventhandler(schedtail) code and change linux ABI to use newly added
sysvec method.

While here replace explicit comparing of module sysentvec structure with the
newly created process sysentvec to detect the linux ABI.

# 208453 23-May-2010 kib

Reorganize syscall entry and leave handling.

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.

Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().

The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.

Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().

Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.

The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

# 202175 12-Jan-2010 imp

Set the svn:eol-style = native and svn:mime-type = text/plain
properties on all files in this tree.

# 197729 03-Oct-2009 bz

Make sure that the primary native brandinfo always gets added
first and the native ia32 compat as middle (before other things).
o(ld)brandinfo as well as third party like linux, kfreebsd, etc.
stays on SI_ORDER_ANY coming last.

The reason for this is only to make sure that even in case we would
overflow the MAX_BRANDS sized array, the native FreeBSD brandinfo
would still be there and the system would be operational.

# 190708 05-Apr-2009 dchagin

Fix KBI breakage by r190520 which affects older linux.ko binaries:

1) Move the new field (brand_note) to the end of the Brandinfo structure.
2) Add a new flag BI_BRAND_NOTE that indicates that the brand_note pointer
is valid.
3) Use the brand_note field if the flag BI_BRAND_NOTE is set and as old
modules won't have the flag set, so the new field brand_note would be
ignored.

Remove some pointless mergeinfo that is the result of doing a local
'svn cp' and having svn create empty mergeinfo for the file.


# 190633 01-Apr-2009 piso

Implement an ipfw action to reassemble ip packets: reass.


# 190581 30-Mar-2009 mav

Integrate user/mav/ata branch:

Add ch_suspend/ch_resume methods for PCI controllers and implement them
for AHCI. Refactor AHCI channel initialization according to it.

Fix Port Multipliers operation. It is far from perfect yet, but works now.
Tested with JMicron JMB363 AHCI + SiI 3726 PMP pair.
Previous version was also tested with SiI 4726 PMP.

# 189771 13-Mar-2009 dchagin

Implement new way of branding ELF binaries by looking to a
".note.ABI-tag" section.

The search order of a brand is changed, now first of all the
".note.ABI-tag" is looked through.

Move code which fetch osreldate for ELF binary to check_note() handler.

# 185169 22-Nov-2008 kib

Add sv_flags field to struct sysentvec with intention to provide description
of the ABI of the currently executing image. Change some places to test
the flags instead of explicit comparing with address of known sysentvec
structures to determine ABI features.

Discussed with: dchagin, imp, jhb, peter


# 183322 24-Sep-2008 kib

Change the static struct sysentvec and struct Elf_Brandinfo initializers
to the C99 style. At least, it is easier to read sysent definitions
that way, and search for the actual instances of sigcode etc.

Explicitely initialize sysentvec.sv_maxssiz that was missed in most
sysvecs.

# 178172 13-Apr-2008 imp

FreeBSD/mips port. The FreeBSD/mips port targets mips32, mips64,
mips32r2 and mips64r2 (and close relatives) processors. There
presently is support for ADMtek ADM5120, A mips 4Kc in a malta board,
the RB533 routerboard (based on IDT RC32434) and some preliminary
support for sibtye/broadcom designs. Other hardware support will be
forthcomcing.

This port boots multiuser under gxemul emulating the malta board and
also bootstraps on the hardware whose support is forthcoming...

Oleksandr Tymoshenko, Wojciech Koszek, Warner Losh, Olivier Houchard,
Randall Stewert and others that have contributed to the mips2 and/or
mips2-jnpr perforce branches. Juniper contirbuted a generic mips port
late in the life cycle of the misp2 branch. Warner Losh merged the
mips2 and Juniper code bases, and others list above have worked for
the past several months to get to multiuser.

In addition, the mips2 work owe a debt to the trail blazing efforts of
the original mips branch in perforce done by Juli Mallett.
