- Eliminate an odd, special-case feature:
if start == end == 0 then all pages are removed. Only one caller
used this feature and that caller can trivially pass the object's
size.
- Assert that the vm_object is locked on entry; don't bother testing
for a NULL vm_object.
- Style: Fix lines that are longer than 80 characters.
- Mark the ktrace() and utrace() syscalls as being MP safe.
- Validate the facs argument to ktrace() prior to doing any vnode
operations or acquiring any locks.
- Share lock the proctree lock over the entire section that calls
ktrsetchildren() and ktrops(). We already did this for process groups.
Doing it for the process case closes a small race where a process might
go away after we look it up. As a result of this, ktrstchildren() now
just asserts that the proctree lock is locked rather than acquiring the
lock itself.
- Add some missing comments to #else and #endif.
syscall return values should be cleared. The system calls
getcontext() and swapcontext() want to return 0 on success
but these contexts can be switched to at a later time so
the return values need to be cleared in the saved register
sets. Other callers of get_mcontext() would normally want
the context without clearing the return values.
Remove the i386-specific context saving from the KSE code.
get_mcontext() is not i386-specific any more.
Fix a bad pointer in the alpha get_mcontext() code. The
context was being bcopy()'d from &td->tf_frame, but tf_frame
is itself a pointer, so the thread was being copied instead.

Instead of applying the adjustment to processes with a start time of 1,
apply it to all processes with a start time of less than 3600.
None of this would be necessary if the start times were recorded in ticks
instead of seconds and microseconds.
don't include the kernel stacks of swapped-out threads in the page count,
but do include the alternate kernel stack. jhb provided some helpful
comments on this.

- Add a parameter to vm_pageout_flush() that tells vm_pageout_flush()
whether its caller has locked the vm_object. (This is a temporary
measure to bootstrap vm_object locking.)
whose p_stats->p_start has the magic value 1, replace it with boottime.
Some users were apparently confused by the fact that ps(1) reported a
start time in early 1970 for system processes.
do all the various sigstack dances, unlock the proc lock, and finally do
the copyout. This more closely resembles the behavior of
kern_sigaltstack() and closes a small race.
- Remove Giant from osigstack as it is no longer needed.
rename them appropriately. Protect both flags with both the proc lock
and the sched_lock.
- Protect p_profthreads with the proc lock.
- Remove Giant from profil(2).
- For the 4BSD scheduler, this means that all callers of the static
function resetpriority() now always hold sched_lock, so don't lock
sched_lock explicitly in that function.
kg_nice is now protected by both. Being protected by both means that
other places in the kernel that want to read kg_nice only need one of the
two locks.

- Remove sched_lock locking from kse_purge() as all callers already lock
the sched_lock before calling it.
- Hold the proc lock slightly longer to protect P_SHOULDSTOP().
o KMF_NOUPCALL
Ask kse_release to not return to userland upcall entry, but instead
direct returns to userland by using current thread's stack and return
address on stack. This flags is intended to be used by UTS in critical
region to wait another UTS thread to leave critical region, by using
kse_release with this flag to avoid spinnng and burning CPU. Also this
flags can be used by UTS to poll completed context when there is nothing
to do in userland and needn't restart from its entry like normal upcall.
o KMF_NOCOMPLETED
Ask kernel to not bring completed thread contexts back to userland when
doing upcall, this flags is intend to be used with above flag when an
upcall thread is in critical region and can not process completed contexts
at that time.

the poll bits when there's actually something in the queue.
Otherwise, select always returned '2' when there were no items to be
read, and '3' when there were. This would preclude being able to read
in a threaded (libc_r) program, as well as checking to see if there
were pending events or not.
