All I really did was implement a comment that DG had made many years
ago in the PCB structure about making the FPU save area a pointer rather
then hardwiring it into the PCB.
This greatly reduces the complexity of work required to allow
the kernel to 'borrow' the FPU. It basi

Hello.
I keep having kernel panics every couple weeks on my system. It occurs in the
sched_switch() function. There are several other statements in the
backtrace involving "??"; what are those?
I have attached the dump output and system info to this email. Any feedback
would be helpful.

Nope. It was first implemented by Sun's Roger Faulkner in SVR4,

And all lines after 27th March are wrong.
Instead of 25th March it should be 26th M

Not really. It's just a linux kernel compiled without support for

Greetings,
Second question. Consider following code (listing is given at
the end of this letter): mmap() anonymous private read-only
memory, fork() and mlock() this memory only in one process.
Here we have: COW, NEEDS_COPY, read-only memory in both
processes, but in one process it is USER_WIRED.
Greetings,
I have two questions or comments about of user-wired memory
(system 5.3).
First question. If memory is user-wired, read-only and COW,
then it is impossible to change protection for this memory:
1. mprotect() calls vm_map_protect(), which change entry->protection
to writeable.
2.
