obtained, when all other scheduling activity is suspended. This is needed
on sparc64 to deactivate the vmspace of the exiting process on all cpus.
Otherwise if another unrelated process gets the exact same vmspace structure
allocated to it (same address), its address space will not be activated
properly. This seems to fix some spontaneous signal 11 problems with smp
on sparc64.
implementations can provide a base zero ffs function if they wish.
This changes
#define RQB_FFS(mask) (ffs64(mask))
foo = RQB_FFS(mask) - 1;
to
#define RQB_FFS(mask) (ffs64(mask) - 1)
foo = RQB_FFS(mask);
On some platforms we can get the "- 1" for free, eg: those that use the
C code for ffs64().

uifind() with a proc lock held.
change_ruid() and change_euid() have been modified to take a uidinfo
structure which will be pre-allocated by callers, they will then
call uihold() on the uidinfo structure so that the caller's logic
is simplified.
This allows one to call uifind() before locking the proc struct and
thereby avoid a potential blocking allocation with the proc lock
held.
This may need revisiting, perhaps keeping a spare uidinfo allocated
per process to handle this situation or re-examining if the proc
lock needs to be held over the entire operation of changing real
or effective user id.

- ktrace no longer requires Giant so do ktrace syscall events before and
after acquiring and releasing Giant, respectively.
- For i386, ia32 syscalls on ia64, powerpc, and sparc64, get rid of the
goto bad hack and instead use the model on ia64 and alpha were we
skip the actual syscall invocation if error != 0. This fixes a bug
where if we the copyin() of the arguments failed for a syscall that
was not marked MP safe, we would try to release Giant when we had
not acquired it.
regardless of if they are signed or unsigned since it is easier to work
with sign-extended values. Thus, remove the disabled zapnot to
zero-extend the sign-extended value we read from *p in atomic_cmpset_32()
since the cmpval we are comparing against should already be
sign-extended.
- To ensure that the compiler knows to sign-extend the upper 32 bits of
cmpval rather than leaving garbage in there, cast the appropriately in
the constraints section.

compare against as a _sign_-extended 64-bit value for some reason (bug?).
This is a temporary workaround so kernels work again on alpha.
i386/ia64/alpha - catch up to sparc64/ppc:
- replace pmap_kernel() with refs to kernel_pmap
- change kernel_pmap pointer to (&kernel_pmap_store)
(this is a speedup since ld can set these at compile/link time)

- gc unused pmap_reference
- gc unused pmap_destroy
- gc unused struct pmap.pm_count

the symbol index defined by the relocation. The elf_lookup() support
function is to be used by elf_reloc() when symbol lookups need to be
done. The elf_lookup() function operates on the symbol index and
will do a symbol name based lookup when such is required, otherwise
it uses the symbol index directly. This solves the problem seen on
ia64 where the symbol hash table does not contain local symbols and
a symbol name based lookup would fail for those symbols.
Don't pass the symbol name to elf_reloc(), as it isn't used any more.

environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up. The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.
This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).

the tokens are legal ANSI-C. Maybe to enable 'op' to be a macro itself?
Anyway, with the ## concatenation Gcc 3.1's integrated `cpp' treats "=op("

Gcc 3.1's 'cpp' vs. 2.95.3's. Maybe it is due to other code movement and

in upper layers, with the eventual aim of supporting PAE and dealing with
the physical addressing mostly within pmap. (We will need either 64 bit
physical addresses or page indexes, possibly both depending on the
circumstances. Leaving this to pmap itself gives more flexibilitly.)
