for 64 bit mips platforms where we built userland largely as n32 by
default, build a handful of tools as n64 so they work properly.

unfortunately, they're also static as dynamic n64 has a problem.

of these tools pstat is probably the lowest hanging fruit to convert
to sysctl. systat would be close were it not for the netstat screen,
which includes netstat itself.

the rest are difficult to perhaps foolish.


the upside is that netstat, pmap and fstat all work properly now.

Add crash(8), a utility to diagnose kernel crashes. This is basically
ddb running on crash dumps, but with two notable changes:

- Breakpoints, watches, etc are obviously never going to work so they
are not handled.

- You can pipe output to the shell, e.g. ps | grep foo

Items remaining to be done:

- Port it to architectures other than i386. This isn't difficult, just
a case of making db_disasm.c/db_trace.c or their equivalent compile
and work.

- Make more of the "show" commands work, e.g "show uvmexp".

explicitly set the default compression level to 1 (from the implicit 6),

Add "-Z level" to control the compression level that -z uses (which
defaults to -Z 6). Depending on the relative speed of the CPU
versus disk, "-zZ1" might be faster than no compression at all.

- Add code to produce a fake ELF kernel containing only symbol info. Done
by extracting ksyms state from the dump, so we have symbols for modules
loaded at the time of the crash. If ksyms extraction fails, this falls
back to the current behaviour of copying /netbsd.

- Leave it disabled for the moment: (1) we are about to branch (2) most
tools understand the artificial kernel but gdb has trouble with it for
some reason.

Fix an integer overflow that prevented saving cores from machines with
more than 2GB of RAM.

"dumpsize" in the on-disk core header is in pages, but, unfortunately,
c.size in our kcore format is an unsigned 32-bit int, gross.

We sleaze it, using a 64-bit int internally here and handing it to
libkvm as a *signed* 32-bit int. Won't always work, but shouldn't be
broken any worse than it is now, and sometimes work better.

We must fix the kcore format and libkvm.

Omit kd_live argument to kvm_dump_mkheader().

New libkvm/savecore implementation. With the following differences:
1) savecore will not access the dump or live-kernel directly. It
will always use the kvm-functions. Allowing it to work on kernels
that don't have a 1-1 PA-VA mapping.
2) the kvm-lib has some additional functions to accomplish 1
- kvm_dump_mkheader()
- kvm_dump_wrtheader()
- kvm_dump_inval()
3) the file formats of the dump generated by the kernel and the dump
generated by savecore have been changed. The file format now looks
like the format produced for 'normal' core dumps.
Ports not yet supporting the new kvm-format will be using libkvm.old/
savecore.old for the time being.

Put the compression suffix *last*.

set dumpsize in dump_exists(), not save_core(), so that minfree check
works again. solves pr 1257, but sets dumpsize earlier than suggested

do the dirty work via implicit casts.
