jail, which is less restrictive but allows for more flexible
jail usage (for those who are willing to make the sacrifice).
The default is off, but allowing raw sockets within jails can
now be accomplished by tuning security.jail.allow_raw_sockets
to 1.
Turning this on will allow you to use things like ping(8)
or traceroute(8) from within a jail.
The patch being committed is not identical to the patch
in the PR. The committed version is more friendly to
APIs which pjd is working on, so it should integrate
into his work quite nicely. This change has also been
presented and addressed on the freebsd-hackers mailing
list.

sched_ule, in January 2004. Looking at this, "pagezero" is (one of) the
culprit(s). We had no provision for processes with P_NOLOAD set. With
pagezero not running at PRI_ITHD, kseq_load_{add,rem} count pagezero as
another-normal-process, thus the "expected-plus-one" load reported in
the above thread.

Specifically, we used to enable the source after locking sched_lock
and just before we had already decided to do a context switch.
This meant that an ithread could never process more than one interrupt
per context switch. Enabling earlier in the loop before sched_lock is
acquired allows an ithread to handle multiple interrupts per context
switch if interrupts fire very rapidly. For the case of heavy interrupt
load this can reduce the number of context switches (and thus overhead)
as well as reduce interrupt latency.
- Now that we can handle multiple interrupts per context switch, add simple
interrupt storm protection to threaded interrupts. If X number of
consecutive interrupts are triggered before the itherad voluntarily
yields to another thread, then the interrupt thread will sleep with the
associated interrupt source disabled (masked) for 1/10th of a second.
The default value of X is 500, but it can be tweaked via the tunable/
sysctl hw.intr_storm_threshold. If an interrupt storm is detected, then
a message is output to the kernel console on the first occurrence per
interrupt thread. Interrupt storm protection can be disabled completely
by setting this value to 0. There is no scientific reasoning for the
1/10th of a second or 500 interrupts values, so they may require tweaking
at some point in the future.

count is protected by the mutex that protects the condition, so the count
does not require any extra locking or atomic operations. It serves as an
optimization to avoid calling into the sleepqueue code at all if there are
no waiters.
Note that the count can get temporarily out of sync when threads sleeping
on a condition variable time out or are aborted. However, it doesn't hurt
to call the sleepqueue code for either a signal or a broadcast when there
are no waiters, and the count is never out of sync in the opposite
direction unless we have more than INT_MAX sleeping threads.
to awaken all waiters when a contested mutex is released instead of just
the highest priority waiter. If the various threads are awakened in
sequence then each thread may acquire and release the lock in question
without contention resulting in fewer expensive unlock and lock
operations. This old behavior of waking just the highest priority is
still used if this option is specified. Making the algorithm conditional
on a kernel option will allows us to benchmark both cases later and
determine which one should be used by default.

in the process. This is required for proper debugging of corefiles
created by 1:1 or M:N threaded processes. Add an XXX comment where
we should actually call a function that dumps MD specific notes.
An example of a MD specific note is the NT_PRXFPREG note for SSE
registers.
Since BFD creates non-annotated pseudo-sections for the first PRSTATUS
and FPREGSET notes (non-annotated in the sense that the name of the
section does not contain the pid/tid), make sure those sections describe
the initial thread of the process (i.e. the thread which tid equals the
pid). This is not strictly necessary, but makes sure that tools that use
the non-annotated section names will not change behaviour due to this
change.
The practical upshot of this all is that one can see the threads in
the debugger when looking at a corefile. For 1:1 threading this means
that *all* threads are visible.
is twofold:
1. When a 1:1 or M:N threaded process dumps core, we need to put the
register state of each of its kernel threads in the core file.
This can only be done by differentiating the pid field in the
respective note. For this we need the tid.
2. When thread support is present for remote debugging the kernel
with gdb(1), threads need to be identified by an integer due to
limitations in the remote protocol. This requires having a tid.
To minimize the impact of having thread IDs, threads that are created
as part of a fork (i.e. the initial thread in a process) will inherit
the process ID (i.e. tid=pid). Subsequent threads will have IDs larger
than PID_MAX to avoid interference with the pid allocation algorithm.
The assignment of tids is handled by thread_new_tid().
The thread ID allocation algorithm has been written with 3 assumptions
in mind:
1. IDs need to be created as fast a possible,
2. Reuse of IDs may happen instantaneously,
3. Someone else will write a better algorithm.
- ptrace_single_step() is no longer called with the proc lock held, so
