    sys/sparc64/sparc64  exception.s 
  Log:
  Fix a bug in the kernel entry window handling where the wrong register
  was used.  This resulted in bogus bad window traps (invalid wstate).
  
  Add a trace to sfsr traps (alignment among other things).
  
  Use KTR_TRAP instead of KTR_CT1.
  
  Use the right registers when storing the values of various
  mmu registers into the trap frame.  This fixes a bug where sometimes
  the context number reported by a fault would be garbage.  Sometimes
  it would be zero for faults on user address space so the kernel would
  wrongly think that it was a fault on kernel address space and fail.
  
  Use the preloaded registers in the vectored interrupt trap instead
  of reading pointers from memory.  Remove traces due to register
  pressure and excess verbosity.  We can probably still sneak in one
  trace.  Remove some debug code.
  
  Go back to using the tsb register during kernel page table lookups.
  This is the best way to not have to have the address of the kernel tsb be
  a compile time constant.  We lie and say we have 1 page tsb when really
  its much larger.  This way the hardware provides bits 13-22 of the
  virtual address (the lower 9 bits of the virtual page number) in the
  form of the address of the tte corresponding to the fault address in
  the (1 page) kernel tsb.  With some clever arithmetic we can then get
  bits 22 and up from the tte tag and add them to the tte address in
  order to index massive tsbs (basically unlimited).
  
  Add traps for physical address hardware watchpoints.
  
  Don't try to pass the window state from the trap table entry point
  all the way down to the common trap code.  Its too easy to clobber
  and reading it again doesn't cost much.
  
  Fixup some traces.
  
  Fiddle the cwp bits on return from the kernel to user mode so that
  the window we are returning to is always the same as the one we
  restore to in the trap code.  Strictly speaking this is not necessary,
  it only affects return from fork and exec, but setting up the windows
  right would require hard coding the right cwp values in cpu_fork and
  setregs, basically hard coding the number of frames between syscall and
  tl0_ret.  The result of getting it wrong is usually a spill to an invalid
  stack pointer; either 0 or pointing into kernel space.  This should also
  alleviate the need to context switch the cwp.
  
  Transfer the trap state from locals to alternate globals in the trap
  return code so that we can do a restore and rotate the windows before
  reloading the trap registers.  If the restore fails we'll trap back
  into the kernel, so there's no point in loading the trap registers
  before hand.  Its is crucial that the window trap recovery code not
  clobber the alternate globals.
