return through doreti to handle ast's. This is necessary for the
clock interrupts to work properly.
- Change the clock interrupts on the x86 to be fast instead of threaded.
This is needed because both hardclock() and statclock() need to run in
the context of the current process, not in a separate thread context.
- Kill the prevproc hack as it is no longer needed.
- We really need Giant when we call psignal(), but we don't want to block
during the clock interrupt. Instead, use two p_flag's in the proc struct
to mark the current process as having a pending SIGVTALRM or a SIGPROF
and let them be delivered during ast() when hardclock() has finished
running.
- Remove CLKF_BASEPRI, which was #ifdef'd out on the x86 anyways. It was
broken on the x86 if it was turned on since cpl is gone. It's only use
was to bogusly run softclock() directly during hardclock() rather than
scheduling an SWI.
- Remove the COM_LOCK simplelock and replace it with a clock_lock spin
mutex. Since the spin mutex already handles disabling/restoring
interrupts appropriately, this also lets us axe all the *_intr() fu.
- Back out the hacks in the APIC_IO x86 cpu_initclocks() code to use
temporary fast interrupts for the APIC trial.
- Add two new process flags P_ALRMPEND and P_PROFPEND to mark the pending
signals in hardclock() that are to be delivered in ast().

- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
- The ihandlers array is now gone. Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
that just contains SWI handlers.
- Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.

Add lockdestroy() and appropriate invocations, which corresponds to
lockinit() and must be called to clean up after a lockmgr lock is no
longer needed.
to accomodate the changes.
Here's a list of things that have changed (I may have left out a few); for a
relatively complete list, see http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/mtx_journal
* Remove old (once useful) mcluster code for MCLBYTES > PAGE_SIZE which
nobody uses anymore. It was great while it lasted, but now we're moving
onto bigger and better things (Approved by: wollman).
* Practically re-wrote the allocation macros in sys/sys/mbuf.h to accomodate
new allocations which grab the necessary lock.
* Make sure that necessary mbstat variables are manipulated with
corresponding atomic() routines.
* Changed the "wait" routines, cleaned it up, made one routine that does
the job.
* Generalized MWAKEUP() macro. Got rid of m_retry and m_retryhdr, as they
are now included in the generalized "wait" routines.
* Sleep routines now use msleep().
* Free lists have locks.
* etc... probably other stuff I'm missing...
Things to look out for and work on later:
* find a better way to (dynamically) adjust EXT_COUNTERS
* move necessity to recurse on a lock from drain routines by providing
lock-free lower-level version of MFREE() (and possibly m_free()?).
* checkout include of mutex.h in sys/sys/mbuf.h - probably violating
general philosophy here.
The code has been reviewed quite a bit, but problems may arise... please,

separately (nfs, cd9660 etc) or keept as a first element of structure
referenced by v_data pointer(ffs). Such organization leads to known problems
with stacked filesystems.
From this point vop_no*lock*() functions maintain only interlock lock.
vop_std*lock*() functions maintain built-in v_lock structure using lockmgr().
vop_sharedlock() is compatible with vop_stdunlock(), but maintains a shared
lock on vnode.
If filesystem wishes to export lockmgr compatible lock, it can put an address
of this lock to v_vnlock field. This indicates that the upper filesystem
can take advantage of it and use single lock structure for entire (or part)
of stack of vnodes. This field shouldn't be examined or modified by VFS code
except for initialization purposes.

specified extended attribute from a vnode, authorizing the change as
the kernel (NULL cred).

the 128-bit sigset_t changes by moving conditionally (rarely) executed

also time bloat, partly because the fast path through CURSIG() was

filesystem lookup() routine if it unlocks parent directory. This flag should
be carefully tracked by filesystems if they want to work properly with nullfs
and other stacked filesystems.
VFS takes advantage of this flag to perform symantically correct usage
of vrele() instead of vput() if parent directory already unlocked.
If filesystem fails to track this flag then previous codepath in VFS left
unchanged.
Convert UFS code to set PDIRUNLOCK flag if necessary. Other filesystmes will
be changed after some period of testing.
