OpenSolaris uses a delay of 1 microsecond here but waiting 2

Originally, I had adopted sparc64's name, pmap_clear_write(), for the
function that is now pmap_remove_write(). However, this function is more
like pmap_remove_all() than like pmap_clear_modify() or
pmap_clear_reference(), hence, the name change.
The higher-level rationale behind this change is described in
src/sys/amd64/amd64/pmap.c revision 1.567. The short version is that I'm
trying to clean up and fix our support for execute access.

- Add a new explicit check before userret() to make sure we don't return

system's machine-dependent and machine-independent layers. Once
pmap_clear_write() is implemented on all of our supported
architectures, I intend to replace all calls to pmap_page_protect() by
calls to pmap_clear_write(). Why? Both the use and implementation of
pmap_page_protect() in our virtual memory system has subtle errors,
specifically, the management of execute permission is broken on some
architectures. The "prot" argument to pmap_page_protect() should
behave differently from the "prot" argument to other pmap functions.
Instead of meaning, "give the specified access rights to all of the
physical page's mappings," it means "don't take away the specified
access rights from all of the physical page's mappings, but do take
away the ones that aren't specified." However, owing to our i386
legacy, i.e., no support for no-execute rights, all but one invocation
of pmap_page_protect() specifies VM_PROT_READ only, when the intent
is, in fact, to remove only write permission. Consequently, a
faithful implementation of pmap_page_protect(), e.g., ia64, would
remove execute permission as well as write permission. On the other
hand, some architectures that support execute permission have
basically ignored whether or not VM_PROT_EXECUTE is passed to
pmap_page_protect(), e.g., amd64 and sparc64. This change represents
the first step in replacing pmap_page_protect() by the less subtle
pmap_clear_write() that is already implemented on amd64, i386, and
sparc64.

install custom pager functions didn't actually happen in practice (they
all just used the simple pager and passed in a local quit pointer). So,
just hardcode the simple pager as the only pager and make it set a global
db_pager_quit flag that db commands can check when the user hits 'q' (or a
suitable variant) at the pager prompt. Also, now that it's easy to do so,
enable paging by default for all ddb commands. Any command that wishes to
honor the quit flag can do so by checking db_pager_quit. Note that the
pager can also be effectively disabled by setting $lines to 0.
Other fixes:
- 'show idt' on i386 and pc98 now actually checks the quit flag and
terminates early.
- 'show intr' now actually checks the quit flag and terminates early.

an explicit comment that it's needed for the linuxolator. This is not the
case anymore. For all other architectures there was only a "KEEP THIS".
I'm (and other people too) running a COMPAT_43-less kernel since it's not
necessary anymore for the linuxolator. Roman is running such a kernel for a
for longer time. No problems so far. And I doubt other (newer than ia32
or alpha) architectures really depend on it.
This may result in a small performance increase for some workloads.
If the removal of COMPAT_43 results in a not working program, please
recompile it and all dependencies and try again before reporting a
problem.
The only place where COMPAT_43 is needed (as in: does not compile without
it) is in the (outdated/not usable since too old) svr4 code.
Note: this does not remove the COMPAT_43TTY option.

above what's used for fast interrupts, only interrupts with the level of
the interrupt which led to calling intr_fast() (which is used with both
fast and ithread interrupts) are blocked while in that function. Thus
intr_fast() can be preempted by a fast interrupt (which are of a higher
level than ithread interrupts) while servicing an ithread interrupt. This
can lead to a stale pointer to the head of the active interrupt requests
list when back in the ithread interrupt invocation of intr_fast(), in turn
resulting in corruption of the interrupt request lists and consequently
in a panic. Solve this be turning off interrupts in intr_fast() before
reading the pointer to the head of the active list rather than after. [1]
- Add a KASSERT in intr_fast() which asserts that ir_func is non-zero before
calling it. [1]
- Increment interrupt stats after calling the handlers rather than before.
This reduces the delay until direct and fast handlers are serviced, in my
testings by 30% on average for the direct tick interrupt handler, in turn
resulting in less clock drift.

PCI devices apparently was changed from a special deferred trap with TPC
pointing to the membar #Sync following the failing load/store instruction
to a precise trap with TPC pointing to the failing load/store instruction.
Thus remove the check the check whether TPC points to a membar #Sync in
case of a data access trap as it's off-by-one for USIII CPUs and it should
be sufficient to check whether the trap happend while in fasword*() to
properly detect traps caused by peeking/poking. This also corresponds to
what other OSs do. Note that also only the USIIi manual suggests to check
the TPC for such traps while the USII one doesn't (in the public USIII
manual device peeking/poking isn't mentioned at all).

- Make the global trap_sig[] static as it's not used outside of trap.c.
- In sendsig() remove an unused variable.
- In trap() sync with the other archs; for fast data access MMU miss and
data access protection traps set ksi_addr to the SFAR reg which contains
the faulting address and otherwise to the TPC reg. Generally the TCP reg
contains the address of the instruction that caused the exception, except
for fast instruction access traps (and some others; more refinement may
be needed here) it also contains the faulting address.
Previously sendsig() always set si_addr to the SFAR reg which is wrong
for most traps.
- In sendsig() add support for FreeBSD old-style signals.
These changes are inspired by kmacy's sun4v changes and allow libsigsegv
to build on FreeBSD/sparc64, but it doesn't pass all checks and tests it
actually should, yet.

foreign per-CPU pages in cpu_ipi_send() in order to get the module IDs
of the other CPUs can cause a page fault. If this happens when doing a
TLB shootdown while dealing with another page fault this causes a panic
due to the recursive page fault. As I don't spot other code that assumes
or requires that accessing foreign per-CPU pages must not page fault
solve this by adding a statically allocated (and therefore locked in the
kernel pages) array which establishes a FreeBSD CPU ID -> module ID
relation and use that in cpu_ipi_selected() (instead of statically
allocating the per-CPU pages which would just waste memory on say a dual
CPU machine as sun4u theoretically supports up to 128 CPUs or wasting
dTLB slots for the foreign per-CPU pages). [1]
- Fix a potential race in cpu_ipi_send(); as we don't serialize the access
to cpu_ipi_selected() between MI and MD use (only MI-MI and MD-MD) we
might catch the NACK bit caused by sending another IPI. Solve this by
checking the NACK bit in the contents of the interrupt dispatch status
reg read while interrupts were still turned off instead of reading that
reg anew after interrupts were turned on again. This is also what the
CPU docs suggest to do.
- Add a workaround for the SpitFire erratum #54 bug (affecting interrupt
dispatch). While public info regarding what this CPU bug actually causes
is not available testing shows that with the workaround in place it's
less likely to get a "couldn't send ipi" panic, it doesn't solve these
panics entirely though. [2]

when option DEBUG_LOCKS is used. Trap frames are determined by checking
whether the caller was one of the tl0_*() or tl1_*() asm functions via
a newly added pair of dummy symbols in exception.S which mark the begin
and end of these functions. The tl_trap_* pair marks those in the special
.trap section and the tl_text_* in the regular .text section. Because
of their performance penalty db_search_symbol()/db_symbol_values() and
linker_ddb_search_symbol()/linker_ddb_symbol_values() aren't used here
for determining the caller, with db_search_symbol()/db_symbol_values()
additionally not being reentrant.
- For consistency, change db_backtrace() to also use the new markers for
determining the tl0_*() and tl1_*() asm functions instead of bcmp()'ing
the symbol name.
- Use FBSDID in db_trace.c.
