# 1.55 05-Oct-2023 ad

Arrange to update cached LWP credentials in userret() rather than during
syscall/trap entry, eliminating a test+branch on every syscall/trap.

This wasn't possible in the 3.99.x timeframe when l->l_cred came about
because there wasn't a reliable/timely way to force an ONPROC LWP running on
a remote CPU into the kernel (which is just about the only new thing in
this scheme).

# 1.54 10-Aug-2018 pgoyette

Allow syscall_establish() to install new syscalls when the existing
entry-point is either sys_nomodule or sys_nosys. Update the
makesyscalls.sh script to create a const array of bits to allow
syscall_disestablish() to properly restore the original entry-point.
Update all the initializers of struct emul to initialize the pointer
to the bit array struct emul.

XXX Regen of all files created by makesyscalls.sh will come soon,
XXX followed by a kernel version bump (since struct emul is being
XXX modified).

This commit should address PR kern/45781 and also removes the need
for the work-around for that PR in file

Pass pointers to frames from assembly, do not use the 'frame on stack

about the stack that will not be true. Costs 2 instructions per trap/syscall
on i386, 4 per interrupt for MP. One instruction per trap/syscall on amd64,
2 per interrupt for MP. I expect gcc 3.3.1 to make up for this by better
optimization (it'd better..)

Add a realcode argument to trace_enter and ktrsyscall. realcode is the

We cannot just replace code by realcode, because ktrsyscall uses it as
an index in the system call table, thus crashing the kernel when the
value is negative.

Introduce 2 new flags in types.h:

e_syscall_intern, which is called at key places in the kernel. This can be

struct emul are omitted.
