I tested this, and it works!

No more `kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled' messages, and also,
thankfully, no more panics.  (Related to this anyway, I'm still getting
freelist corruption related things).

Yeah, just trying to cover up the problem and march on usually doesn't work
out very well in computing.. or anywhere else, really..

This is because ast() calls addupc_task() with sched_lock held.
addupc_task() calls copyin() and copyin() sometimes traps to fault in the
profiling buffer.

This seems to be just a bug in ast().  userret() is missing the bug.

I think this is caused by the same bug.

"kernel trap  with interrupts disabled"

should be fatal (the case of trap 12 (only) _is_ fatal in my version),
but the kernel attempts to fix the problem and continue.  This sort
of worked when things were locked by disabling interrupts.  Now, things
may be locked by a spinlock as well as by disabling interrupts, and
the corresponding fixup would be to release the spinlock.  But this
is more obviously wrong.

Speaking of which, the rather ugly test program I wrote is available from:
