On FPU exceptions, pass a useful error code (one of the FPE_...
macros) to the signal handler, for old-style BSD signal handlers as
the second (int) argument, for SA_SIGINFO signal handlers as
siginfo_t->si_code. This is source-compatible with Solaris, except
that we have no <siginfo.h> (which isn't even mentioned in POSIX
1003.1b).

An rather complete example program is at
http://www3.cons.org/cracauer/freebsd-signal.c
This will be added to the regression tests in src/.

This commit also adds code to disable the (hardware) FPU from
userconfig, so that you can use a software FP emulator on a machine
that has hardware floating point. See LINT.

Changed the global `idt' from an array to a pointer so that npx.c
automatically hacks on the active copy of the IDT if f00f_hack()
has changed it. This also allows simplifications in setidt().
This fixes breakage of FP exception handling by rev.1.55 of
sys/kernel.h. FP exceptions were sent to npx.c's probe handlers
because npx.c "restored" the old handlers to the wrong copy of the
IDT. The SYSINIT for f00f_hack() was purposely run quite late to
avoid problems like this, but it is bogusly associated with the
SYSINIT for proc0 so it was moved with the latter.

Enable vmspace sharing on SMP. Major changes are,
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

Improved DDB_UNATTENDED behaviour. From the submitter:

There's something that's been bugging me for a while, so I decided to fix it.
FreeBSD now will DTRT WRT DDB and DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), at least
in my opinion. The behavior change is such that:

1. Nothing changes when debugger_on_panic != 0.
2. When DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), if a panic occurs, the
machine will reboot. Also, if a trap occurs, the machine will
panic and reboot, unlike how it broke to DDB before. HOWEVER,
a trap inside DDB will not cause a panic, allowing full use
of DDB without having to worry about the machine being stuck
at a DDB prompt if something goes wrong during the day.
Patches for this behavior follow my signature, and it would
be a boon to anyone (like me) who uses DDB_UNATTENDED, but
actually wants the machine to panic on a trap (otherwise,
what's the use, if the machine causes a fatal trap rather than
a true panic, of debugger_on_panic?). The changes cause no
adverse behavior, but do involve two symbols becoming global

- For some old Cyrix CPUs, %cr2 is clobbered by interrupts. This
problem is worked around by using an interrupt gate for the page
fault handler. This code was originally made for NetBSD/pc98 by
Naofumi Honda <honda@kururu.math.sci.hokudai.ac.jp> and has already
been in PC98 tree. Because of this bug, trap_fatal cannot show
correct page fault address if %cr2 is obtained in this function.
Therefore, trap_fatal uses the value from trap() function.
- The trap handler always enables interruption when buggy application
or kernel code has disabled interrupts and then trapped. This code
was prepared by Bruce Evans <bde@FreeBSD.org>.

Eradicate the variable "time" from the kernel, using various measures.
"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.

Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.

gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.

Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).

A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.

Add a new nfs_curusec() function.

Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable.

Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the

the same.

hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.
