in r276564, change path type to char * (pathnames are always char *).
And remove bogus casts of malloc().
kern___getcwd() internally doesn't actually use or support u_char *

These changes are not visible to libc as libc/gen/getcwd.c misdeclares
__getcwd() as taking a plain char * path.
While here remove _SYS_SYSPROTO_H_ for __getcwd() syscall as

- Threads lifetime cycle, in particular, counting of the threads in
the process, and interlocking with process mutex and thread lock.
The main reason of this is that turnstile locks are after thread
locks, so you e.g. cannot unlock blockable mutex (think process
mutex) while owning thread lock.
- Virtual and profiling itimers, since the timers activation is done
from the clock interrupt context. Replace the p_slock by p_itimmtx
and PROC_ITIMLOCK().
- Profiling code (profil(2)), for similar reason. Replace the p_slock
by p_profmtx and PROC_PROFLOCK().
- Resource usage accounting. Need for the spinlock there is subtle,
my understanding is that spinlock blocks context switching for the
current thread, which prevents td_runtime and similar fields from
changing (updates are done at the mi_switch()). Replace the p_slock
by p_statmtx and PROC_STATLOCK().
The split is done mostly for code clarity, and should not affect
scalability.

- Dump an NT_X86_XSTATE note if XSAVE is in use. This note is designed
to match what Linux does in that 1) it dumps the entire XSAVE area
including the fxsave state, and 2) it stashes a copy of the current
xsave mask in the unused padding between the fxsave state and the
xstate header at the same location used by Linux.
- Teach readelf() to recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes.
- Change PT_GET/SETXSTATE to take the entire XSAVE state instead of
only the extra portion. This avoids having to always make two
ptrace() calls to get or set the full XSAVE state.
- Add a PT_GET_XSTATE_INFO which returns the length of the current
XSTATE save area (so the size of the buffer needed for PT_GETXSTATE)
and the current XSAVE mask (%xcr0).

The kernel tracks syscall users so that modules can safely unregister them.
But if the module is not unloadable or was compiled into the kernel, there is
no need to do this.

using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically
created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic
SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data
pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence
there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a

syscalls themselves are tightly coupled with the network stack and
therefore should not be in the generic socket code.
The following four syscalls have been marked as NOSTD so they can be
dynamically registered in sctp_syscalls_init() function:
sys_sctp_peeloff
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg_iov
sys_sctp_generic_recvmsg
The syscalls are also set up to be dynamically registered when COMPAT32
option is configured.
As a side effect of moving the SCTP syscalls, getsock_cap needs to be
made available outside of the uipc_syscalls.c source file. A proper
prototype has been added to the sys/socketvar.h header file.
API tests from the SCTP reference implementation have been run to ensure
compatibility. (http://code.google.com/p/sctp-refimpl/source/checkout)
