      Re-write of the x86 port debug support. This should give a significant · fa77470b
      dtc authored
      improvement in reliability necessary for breakpoint and single
      stepping to have a chance, and has been tested in the experimental
      code and works on FreeBSD and Linux.
      
      The code object for a given return address in now located with the help
      of the GC support function component_ptr_from_pc which can reliably
      locate the code objects. This uses a forward search of the heap so is
      rather slow - some caching will be needed for better performance.
      
      The stack parsing has been re-written using a backtracking search to
      improve the chance of finding a valid frame path given that the
      control changes between C and Lisp conventions.  The x86-lra hack is
      no longer necessary (was unreliable anyway) allowing x86 code to be
      more compact. The return address is now handled as a SAP which is
      acceptable because the code doesn't move with CGC, and GENCGC ensures
      that code objects in the dynamic heap with return addresses on the
      stack are not moved. However there are known problems under GENCGC
      when return addresses are move off the stack during some breakpoint
      operations in which case the code object may move.

      Add a check that objects obtained from the stack in · 54c1961a
      dtc authored
      sub-access-debug-var-slot (x86) are valid.  Debug variable locations
      are not always valid, and on the x86 there can be non-descriptor
      objects on the stack.
      
      Cleanup the sap-ref code in sub-access-debug-var-slot and
      sub-set-debug-var-slot which had been using convoluted code to work
      around sap-ref bugs that have since been fixed.

      common binaries to be run on both:
      
      * The immediate-stack storage class has been removed, this is
      unnecessary as the descriptor-stack SC can be used. It may have once
      been part of some GC stragety to reduce the number of stack slots that
      needed to be noted for a GC.
      
      * The object allocation has been abstracted and cleaned up. This
      should produce slightly faster smaller code with CGC, and can be
      compiled to support inline allocation with GENCGC.  CGC compiled code
      will run under GENCGC, and GENCGC binaries that don't use inline
      allocation will run under CGC.
      
      * A random hash is now placed in the unused symbol object slot (the
      symbol-hash slot). This saves flushing the info cache at each GC, and
      may have other uses for symbol based hash tables. Should help MP
      safety.
      
      * Common set of static symbols used by both CGC and GENCGC.
      
      * Corrections to the stack-ref VOP; now returns lisp objects not
      unsigned numbers. Required some patches to debug-int.
      
      * Inline unsigned/signed byte 32 to bignum allocation enabled.
      
      * Support for the x86 xadd instruction applied to instance slot and
      symbol values - may be handy for some MP code.
      
      * Bump up the FASL file version from 1 to 2.

      Done; moved eval-function data into the interpreted-function FIN, also
      added a closure slot so describe can access it easily. Revised patches
      below.
