changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.
2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.
3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.
4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.
5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.
6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.

remove the unconditional acquisition of Giant for extended attribute related
operations. If the file system is set as being MP safe and debug.mpsafevfs is
1, do not pickup Giant.
Mark the following system calls as being MP safe so we no longer pickup Giant
in the system call handler:
o extattrctl
o extattr_set_file
o extattr_get_file
o extattr_delete_file
o extattr_set_fd
o extattr_get_fd
o extattr_delete_fd
o extattr_set_link
o extattr_get_link
o extattr_delete_link
o extattr_list_file
o extattr_list_link
o extattr_list_fd
-Pass MPSAFE flags to namei(9) lookup and introduce vfslocked variable which
will keep track of any Giant acquisitions.
-Wrap any fd operations which manipulate vnodes in VFS_{UN}LOCK_GIANT
-Drop VFS_ASSERT_GIANT into function which operate on vnodes to ensure that
we are sufficiently protected.
I've tested these changes with various TrustedBSD MAC policies which use
extended attribute a lot on SMP and UP systems (thanks to Scott Long for
making some SMP hardware available to me for testing).

call mmap() to create a shared space, and then initialize umtx on it,
after that, each thread in different processes can use the umtx same
as threads in same process.
2. introduce a new syscall _umtx_op to support timed lock and condition
variable semantics. also, orignal umtx_lock and umtx_unlock inline
functions now are reimplemented by using _umtx_op, the _umtx_op can
use arbitrary id not just a thread id.
Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.
Use kern_open() to implement creat() rather than taking the long route
through open(). Mark creat as MPSAFE.
While I'm at it, mark nosys() (syscall 0) as MPSAFE, for all the
difference it will make.
after the additions made for the new statfs structure (version
1.157). These must be updated in a separate checkin after
syscalls.master has been checked in so that they reflect its
new CVS identity. As these are purely derived files, it is not
clear to me why they are under CVS at all. I presume that it has
something to do with having `make world' operate properly.
handling clean and functional as 5.x evolves. This allows some of the
nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.
Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.
Tested on: i386, alpha, ia64. Compiled on sparc64 (a few days ago).

The uuidgen command, by means of the uuidgen syscall, generates one
or more Universally Unique Identifiers compatible with OSF/DCE 1.1
version 1 UUIDs.
From the Perforce logs (change 11995):
Round of cleanups:
o Give uuidgen() the correct prototype in syscalls.master
o Define struct uuid according to DCE 1.1 in sys/uuid.h
o Use struct uuid instead of uuid_t. The latter is defined
in sys/uuid.h but should not be used in kernel land.
o Add snprintf_uuid(), printf_uuid() and sbuf_printf_uuid()
to kern_uuid.c for use in the kernel (currently geom_gpt.c).
o Rename the non-standard struct uuid in kern/kern_uuid.c
to struct uuid_private and give it a slightly better definition
for better byte-order handling. See below.
o In sys/gpt.h, fix the broken uuid definitions to match the now
compliant struct uuid definition. See below.
o In usr.bin/uuidgen/uuidgen.c catch up with struct uuid change.
A note about byte-order:
The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.
environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up. The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.
This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).

Remove the explicit call to aio_proc_rundown() from exit1(), instead AIO
will use at_exit(9).
Add functions at_exec(9), rm_at_exec(9) which function nearly the
same as at_exec(9) and rm_at_exec(9), these functions are called
on behalf of modules at the time of execve(2) after the image
activator has run.
Use a modified version of tegge's suggestion via at_exec(9) to close
an exploitable race in AIO.
Fix SYSCALL_MODULE_HELPER such that it's archetecuterally neutral,
the problem was that one had to pass it a paramater indicating the
number of arguments which were actually the number of "int". Fix
it by using an inline version of the AS macro against the syscall
arguments. (AS should be available globally but we'll get to that
later.)
Add a primative system for dynamically adding kqueue ops, it's really
not as sophisticated as it should be, but I'll discuss with jlemon when
he's around.
