with 'options DDB'). Setting this to `ddb' or `gdb' breaks into the
kernel debugger in the corresponding mode. This mechanism has proven
very useful at Whistle for setting breakpoints, etc., while doing
remote serial line kernel debugging.

ddb is entered. Don't refer to `in_Debugger' to see if we
are in the debugger. (The variable used to be static in Debugger()
and wasn't updated if ddb is entered via traps and panic anyway.)
- Don't refer to `in_Debugger'.
- Add `db_active' to i386/i386/db_interface.d (as in
alpha/alpha/db_interface.c).
- Remove cnpollc() stub from ddb/db_input.c.
- Add the dbctl function to syscons, pcvt, and sio. (The function for
pcvt and sio is noop at the moment.)

(The final version was tweaked by me and not reviewed by bde. Thus,
if there is any error in this commit, that is entirely of mine, not
his.)
Some changes were obtained from: NetBSD
Merge the contents (less some trivial bordering the silly comments)
of <vm/vm_prot.h> and <vm/vm_inherit.h> into <vm/vm.h>. This puts
the #defines for the vm_inherit_t and vm_prot_t types next to their
typedefs.
This paves the road for the commit to follow shortly: change
useracc() to use VM_PROT_{READ|WRITE} rather than B_{READ|WRITE}
as argument.
/sys/ddb/db_input.c rev 1.19 to recognize syscons's cursor keycodes.
It is unnecessary now that scgetc() in syscons returns the escape
sequence for the cursor keys rather than their raw, internal key
codes.
I'm not too happy about the result either, but at least it has less
chance of backfiring.
This particular feature could be called "a mess" without offending
anybody.
for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

get to all the symbol tables for all modules, not just the core kernel
symbol table. Yes, DDB can see KLD module symbols with this, both by
lookup and in tracebacks. No more references to _end from tracebacks
within an LKM. :-)
because the alpha boot loader hasn't been converted yet, and because
it needs the full symbol tables with local symbols in order to make sense
of stack tracebacks. KLD will implement this (using full sybmol table
rather than the globals only) shortly.
case it's possible to compile in something like ECOFF)
The three db_xxx.c symbol interfaces are "standard" because config isn't
flexible enough without forcing the user to know about it.
Use them to `make gcc -Wformat' check formats for all printf-like
and scanf-like functions in /usr/src except for the err()/warn()
family. err() isn't quite printf-like since its format arg can
legitimately be NULL. syslog() isn't quite printf-like, but gcc
already accepts %m, even for plain printf() when it shouldn't.
(nonstandard %n and '+' with %x), and ones not found by -Wformat on
386's (some db_expr_t's are still printed as ints).
I decided not to change the arg type for %n from [unsigned] int to
register_t, since about half of the uses of %n are to print plain
ints and casting to [unsigned] long for %n is no harder than for %x.
work in progress and has never booted a real machine. Initial
development and testing was done using SimOS (see
http://simos.stanford.edu for details). On the SimOS simulator, this
port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).
Obtained from: partly from NetBSD/alpha
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.
Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.
Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.
Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()
This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.
WARNING: Programs which muck about with struct proc in userland
will have to be fixed.
