927b9ef243 kernel: align gdt and idt base addresses
patch my fdmanana:
As recommended by the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Developer's
Manual Volume 3A, the GDT and IDT base addresses should be aligned on an
8 byte boundary to yield better processor performance.

1e399dd8bd various kernel printing fixes
. remove some call cycles by low-level functions invoking printf(); e.g.
	  send_sig() gets a return value that the caller should check
	. reason: very-early-phase printf() would trigger a printf() causing
	  infinite recursion -> GPF
	. move serial initialization a little earlier so DEBUG_EXTRA works for
	  serial earlier (e.g. its first instance, for "cstart")
	. closes tracker item 583:
	  System Fails to Complete Startup with Verbose 2 and 3 Boot Parameters,
	  reported by Stephen Hatton / pikpik.

a615a7d4d2 Kernel: retain FPU state upon save
On the x86, saving FPU state has the side effect of resetting this
state. In some cases (fork, getcontext), this would cause the state
to be lost. This patch restores the FPU state right after saving it,
except when different state is loaded immediately after.

0a8a2ecfb5 Kernel: pass FPU restore exception to user process
Previously, user processes could cause a kernel panic upon FPU state
restore, by passing bogus FPU state to the kernel (through e.g.
sigreturn). With this patch, the process is now sent a SIGFPE signal
instead.

2fe8fb192f Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.

Changes in this commit:

	. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
	. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
	  can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
	. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
	. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
	. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
	  commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
	. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
	. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
	. test compile fix
	. harmonize includes
	. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
	  kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
	  is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
	  less on the state of the machine making them now.
	. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
	. reduce mtree

5c0927e108 SMP - clock calibration spurious IRQ deadlock fix
- this patch fixes a deadlock which may occur if we get a
   spurious interrupt while calibrating clocks during the boot
   time. Since we never handle interrupts while in the kernel
   (BKL locked) the interrupt code locks the lock. This is a
   different situation, a corner case, boot time only. We do not
   return to userspace but to the kernel, so the BKL is not
   unlocked. So we need irq handler which leaves the BKL
   unlocked.  The clock handler does it already, this patch adds
   a dummy spurious irq handler for the same reason. It is better
   to handle the situation this way to keep the normal runtime
   code simple.

8fa95abae4 SMP - fixed usage of stale TLB entries
- when kernel copies from userspace, it must be sure that the TLB
  entries are not stale and thus the referenced memory is correct

- everytime we change a process' address space we set p_stale_tlb
  bits for all CPUs.

- Whenever a cpu finds its bit set when it wants to access the
  process' memory, it refreshes the TLB

- it is more conservative than it needs to be but it has low
  overhead than checking precisely

c51cd5fe91 Server/driver protocols: no longer allow third-party copies.
Before safecopies, the IO_ENDPT and DL_ENDPT message fields were needed
to know which actual process to copy data from/to, as that process may
not always be the caller. Now that we have full safecopy support, these
fields have become useless for that purpose: the owner of the grant is
*always* the caller. Allowing the caller to supply another endpoint is
in fact dangerous, because the callee may then end up using a grant
from a third party. One could call this a variant of the confused
deputy problem.

From now on, safecopy calls should always use the caller's endpoint as
grant owner. This fully obsoletes the DL_ENDPT field in the
inet/ethernet protocol. IO_ENDPT has other uses besides identifying the
grant owner though. This patch renames IO_ENDPT to USER_ENDPT, not only
because that is a more fitting name (it should never be used for I/O
after all), but also in order to intentionally break any old system
source code outside the base system. If this patch breaks your code,
fixing it is fairly simple:

- DL_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source when used for safecopies;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with USER_ENDPT for any other use, e.g.
  when setting REP_ENDPT, matching requests in CANCEL calls, getting
  DEV_SELECT flags, and retrieving of the real user process's endpoint
  in DEV_OPEN.

The changes in this patch are binary backward compatible.

a665ae3de1 Userspace scheduling - exporting stats
- contributed by Bjorn Swift

- adds process accounting, for example counting the number of messages
  sent, how often the process was preemted and how much time it spent
  in the run queue. These statistics, along with the current cpu load,
  are sent back to the user-space scheduler in the Out Of Quantum
  message.

- the user-space scheduler may choose to make use of these statistics
  when making scheduling decisions. For isntance the cpu load becomes
  especially useful when scheduling on multiple cores.

  provides correct information. If ht is turned off it looks like some
  CPUs failed to boot.  Nevertheless this patch may be handy for
  testing/benchmarking in the future.

e4283176ae SMP - Force TLB flush before scheduling a process
- this makes sure that each process always run with updated TLB

- this is the simplest way how to achieve the consistency. As it means
  significant performace degradation when not require, this is nto the
  final solution and will be refined

e2701da5a9 SMP - Single shot local timer
- APIC timer always reprogrammed if expired

- timer tick never happens when in kernel => never immediate return
  from userspace to kernel because of a buffered interrupt

- renamed argument to lapic_set_timer_one_shot()

- removed arch_ prefix from timer functions

0ac9b6d4cf SMP - trully idle APs
- any cpu can use smp_schedule() to tell another cpu to reschedule

- if an AP is idle, it turns off timer as there is nothing to
  preempt, no need to wakeup just to go back to sleep again

- if a cpu makes a process runnable on an idle cpu, it must wake it up
  to reschedule
