ddb: allow specifying the exact address of the symtab and strtab

When the FreeBSD kernel is loaded from Xen the symtab and strtab are
not loaded the same way as the native boot loader. This patch adds
three new global variables to ddb that can be used to specify the
exact position and size of those tables, so they can be directly used
as parameters to db_add_symbol_table. A new helper is introduced, so callers
that used to set ksym_start and ksym_end can use this helper to set the new
variables.

It also adds support for loading them from the Xen PVH port, that was
previously missing those tables.

ddb/db_main.c:
- Add three new global variables: ksymtab, kstrtab, ksymtab_size that
can be used to specify the position and size of the symtab and
strtab.
- Use those new variables in db_init in order to call db_add_symbol_table.
- Move the logic in db_init to db_fetch_symtab in order to set ksymtab,
kstrtab, ksymtab_size from ksym_start and ksym_end.

ddb/ddb.h:
- Add prototype for db_fetch_ksymtab.
- Declate the extern variables ksymtab, kstrtab and ksymtab_size.

x86/xen/pv.c:
- Add support for finding the symtab and strtab when booted as a Xen
PVH guest. Since Xen loads the symtab and strtab as NetBSD expects
to find them we have to adapt and use the same method.

Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

Add textdump(4) facility, which provides an alternative form of kernel
dump using mechanically generated/extracted debugging output rather than
a simple memory dump. Current sources of debugging output are:

- DDB output capture buffer, if there is captured output to save
- Kernel message buffer
- Kernel configuration, if included in kernel
- Kernel version string
- Panic message

Textdumps are stored in swap/dump partitions as with regular dumps, but
are laid out as ustar files in order to allow multiple parts to be stored
as a stream of sequentially written blocks. Blocks are written out in
reverse order, as the size of a textdump isn't known a priori. As with
regular dumps, they will be extracted using savecore(8).

One new DDB(4) command is added, "textdump", which accepts "set",
"unset", and "status" arguments. By default, normal kernel dumps are
generated unless "textdump set" is run in order to schedule a textdump.
It can be canceled using "textdump unset" to restore generation of a
normal kernel dump.

Several sysctls exist to configure aspects of textdumps;
debug.ddb.textdump.pending can be set to check whether a textdump is
pending, or set/unset in order to control whether the next kernel dump
will be a textdump from userspace.

While textdumps don't have to be generated as a result of a DDB script
run automatically as part of a kernel panic, this is a particular useful
way to use them, as instead of generating a complete memory dump, a
simple transcript of an automated DDB session can be captured using the
DDB output capture and textdump facilities. This can be used to
generate quite brief kernel bug reports rich in debugging information
but not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely synchronized
source code. Most textdumps I generate are less than 100k including
the full message buffer. Using textdumps with an interactive debugging
session is also useful, with capture being enabled/disabled in order to
record some but not all of the DDB session.

Add a simple scripting facility to DDB(4), allowing the user to
define a set of named scripts. Each script consists of a list of DDB
commands separated by ";"s that will be executed verbatim. No higher
level language constructs, such as branching, are provided for:
scripts are executed by sequentially injecting commands into the DDB
input buffer.

Four new commands are present in DDB: "run" to run a specific script,
"script" to define or print a script, "scripts" to list currently
defined scripts, and "unscript" to delete a script, modeled on shell
alias commands. Scripts may also be manipulated using sysctls in the
debug.ddb.scripting MIB space, although users will prefer to use the
soon-to-be-added ddb(8) tool for usability reasons.

Scripts with certain names are automatically executed on various DDB
events, such as entering the debugger via a panic, a witness error,
watchdog, breakpoint, sysctl, serial break, etc, allowing customized
handling.

Simplify the pager support in DDB. Allowing different db commands to
install custom pager functions didn't actually happen in practice (they
all just used the simple pager and passed in a local quit pointer). So,
just hardcode the simple pager as the only pager and make it set a global
db_pager_quit flag that db commands can check when the user hits 'q' (or a
suitable variant) at the pager prompt. Also, now that it's easy to do so,
enable paging by default for all ddb commands. Any command that wishes to
honor the quit flag can do so by checking db_pager_quit. Note that the
pager can also be effectively disabled by setting $lines to 0.

Other fixes:
- 'show idt' on i386 and pc98 now actually checks the quit flag and
terminates early.
- 'show intr' now actually checks the quit flag and terminates early.

Add two helper functions: db_lookup_thread() and db_lookup_proc(). They
take the addr value passed to a ddb command and attempt to use it to
lookup a struct thread * or struct proc *, respectively. Each function
first reparses the passed in value as if it was an ID entered in base 10.
For threads the ID is treated as a thread ID, for proceses the ID is
treated as a PID. If a thread or proc matching the ID is found, it is
returned. For db_lookup_thread(), if the check_pid argument is true and
it didn't find a thread with a matching thread ID, it will treat the ID as
a PID and look for a matching process. If it finds one it returns the
first thread in the process. If none of the ID lookups succeeded, then
the functions assume that the passed in address is a thread or proc
pointer, respectively. This allows one to use tids, pids, or structure
pointers interchangeably in ddb functions that want to lookup threads or
processes if desired.

Clean up the way we handle auxiliary commands for a given ddb command
table. Previously, the ddb code knew of each linker set of auxiliary
commands and which explicit command list they were tied to. These changes
add a simple command_table struct that contains both the static list of
commands and the pointers for any auxiliary linker set of additional
commands. This also makes it possible for other arbitrary command tables
to be defined in other parts of the kernel w/o having to edit ddb itself.

The DB_SET macro has also been trimmed down to just creating an entry in
a linker set. A new DB_FUNC macro does what the old DB_SET did which is
to not only add an entry to the linker set but also to include a function
prototype for the function being added. With these changes, it's now also
possible to create aliases for ddb functions using DB_SET() directly if
desired.
