You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'
as the new kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs
structure, but an old kernel will not know about the new system
calls that support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel
after a `make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a
statfs system call to fail with a bad system call.

in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a
(struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using
a UMA zone (mac_label.c). This allows the size and shape of struct
label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel
objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE. This opens
the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence
changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies
at boot-time instead of compile-time. This also makes it easier to
embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching
with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures.
This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the
structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention
dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the
MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability.
While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it
will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data
structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable)
performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory
conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory.
NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a
result of this change. Because this is an API change, third party
MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&'
symbol.

destroy the mount point along with its locks. Mount struct has grown in
coplexity recently and depending on each failure path to destroy it
completely isn't working anymore.
2. Eliminate largely identical vfs_mount and vfs_unmount question by
moving the code to handle both cases into a newly introduced vfs_domount
function.
3. Simplify nfs_mount_diskless to always expect an allocated mount
struct and never attempt an allocation/destruction itself. The
vfs_allocroot allocation was there to support 'magic' swap space

turnstiles to implement blocking isntead of implementing a thread queue
directly. These turnstiles are somewhat similar to those used in Solaris 7
as described in Solaris Internals but are also different.
Turnstiles do not come out of a fixed-sized pool. Rather, each thread is
assigned a turnstile when it is created that it frees when it is destroyed.
When a thread blocks on a lock, it donates its turnstile to that lock to
serve as queue of blocked threads. The queue associated with a given lock
is found by a lookup in a simple hash table. The turnstile itself is
protected by a lock associated with its entry in the hash table. This
means that sched_lock is no longer needed to contest on a mutex. Instead,
sched_lock is only used when manipulating run queues or thread priorities.
Turnstiles also implement priority propagation inherently.
Currently turnstiles only support mutexes. Eventually, however, turnstiles
may grow two queue's to support a non-sleepable reader/writer lock
implementation. For more details, see the comments in sys/turnstile.h and
kern/subr_turnstile.c.
The two primary advantages from the turnstile code include: 1) the size
of struct mutex shrinks by four pointers as it no longer stores the
thread queue linkages directly, and 2) less contention on sched_lock in
SMP systems including the ability for multiple CPUs to contend on different
locks simultaneously (not that this last detail is necessarily that much of
a big win). Note that 1) means that this commit is a kernel ABI breaker,
so don't mix old modules with a new kernel and vice versa.

because RFNOWAIT was being passed to kproc_create.
The result was that shutdown took quite a bit longer because this
errant "child" would not respond to termination signals from init
at system shutdown.
RFNOWAIT dissassociates itself from the caller by attaching to init
as a parent proc. We could have had the taskqueue proc listen for
SIGKILL, but being able to SIGKILL a potentially critical system
process doesn't seem like a good idea.
free one sem_undo with un_cnt == 0 instead of all of them. This is a
temporary workaround until the SLIST_FOREACH_PREVPTR loop gets fixed so
that it doesn't cause cycles in semu_list when removing multiple adjacent
items. It might be easier to just use (doubly-linked) LISTs here instead
of complicated SLIST code to achieve O(1) removals.
This bug manifested itself as a complete lockup under heavy semaphore use
by multiple processes with the SEM_UNDO flag set.

This change is triggered by a need on ia64 to have another knob for
get_mcontext().
in the log message for kern_sched.c 1.83 (which should have been
repo-copied to preserve history for this file), the (4BSD) scheduler
algorithm only works right if stathz is nearly 128 Hz. The old
commit lock said 64 Hz; the scheduler actually wants nearly 16 Hz
but there was a scale factor of 4 to give the requirement of 64 Hz,
and rev.1.83 changed the scale factor so that the requirement became
128 Hz. The change of the scale factor was incomplete in the SMP
case. Then scheduling ticks are provided by smp_ncpu CPUs, and the
scheduler cannot tell the difference between this and 1 CPU providing
scheduling ticks smp_ncpu times faster, so we need another scale
factor of smp_ncp or an algorithm change.
This quick fix uses the scale factor without even trying to optimize
the runtime divisions required for this as is done for the other
scale factor.
The main algorithmic problem is the clamp on the scheduling tick counts.
This was 295; it is now approximately 295 * smp_ncpu. When the limit
is reached, threads get free timeslices and scheduling becomes very
unfair to the threads that don't hit the limit. The limit can be
reached and maintained in the worst case if the load average is larger
than (limit / effective_stathz - 1) / 2 = 0.65 now (was just 0.08 with
2 CPUs before this change), so there are algorithmic problems even for
a load average of 1. Fortunately, the worst case isn't common enough
for the problem to be very noticeable (it is mainly for niced CPU hogs
competing with less nice CPU hogs).

The patch worked because check for wantrem was not valid

0 and SCHED_SLP_RUN_MAX * 2. This allows us to simplify the algorithm
quite a bit. Before, it dealt with arbitrary values which required us
to do nasty integer division tricks that didn't quite work out correctly.
- Chnage sched_wakeup() to detect conditions where the slp+runtime could
exceed SCHED_SLP_RUN_MAX * 2. This can happen if we go to sleep for
longer than 6 seconds. In this case, we'll just clear the runtime and
set the sleep time to the max.
- Define a new function, sched_interact_fork() which updates the slp+runtime
of a newly forked thread. We want to limit the amount of history retained
from the parent so that we learn the child's behavior quickly. We don't,
however want to decay it to nothing. Previously, we would simply divide
each parameter by 100 whenever we forked. After a few forks the values
would reach 0 and tasks would not be considered interactive.
- Add another KTR entry, cleanup some existing entries.
- Remove a useless sched_interact_update() from sched_priority(). This is
already done by the callers that require it.
- Add an IPI based mechanism for migrating kses. This mechanism is
broken down into several components. This is intended to reduce cache
thrashing by eliminating most cases where one cpu touches another's
run queues.
- kseq_notify() appends a kse to a lockless singly linked list and
conditionally sends an IPI to the target processor. Right now this is
protected by sched_lock but at some point I'd like to get rid of the
global lock. This is why I used something more complicated than a
standard queue.
- kseq_assign() processes our list of kses that have been assigned to us
by other processors. This simply calls sched_add() for each item on the
list after clearing the new KEF_ASSIGNED flag. This flag is used to
indicate that we have been appeneded to the assigned queue but not
added to the run queue yet.
- In sched_add(), instead of adding a KSE to another processor's queue we
use kse_notify() so that we don't touch their queue. Also in sched_add(),
if KEF_ASSIGNED is already set return immediately. This can happen if
a thread is removed and readded so that the priority is recorded properly.
- In sched_rem() return immediately if KEF_ASSIGNED is set. All callers
immediately readd simply to adjust priorites etc.
- In sched_choose(), if we're running an IDLE task or the per cpu idle thread
set our cpumask bit in 'kseq_idle' so that other processors may know that
we are idle. Before this, make a single pass through the run queues of
other processors so that we may find work more immediately if it is
available.
- In sched_runnable(), don't scan each processor's run queue, they will IPI
us if they have work for us to do.
- In sched_add(), if we're adding a thread that can be migrated and we have
plenty of work to do, try to migrate the thread to an idle kseq.
- Simplify the logic in sched_prio() and take the KEF_ASSIGNED flag into
consideration.
- No longer use kseq_choose() to steal threads, it can lose it's last
argument.
- Create a new function runq_steal() which operates like runq_choose() but
skips threads based on some criteria. Currently it will not steal
PRI_ITHD threads. In the future this will be used for CPU binding.
- Create a kseq_steal() that checks each run queue with runq_steal(), use
kseq_steal() in the places where we used kseq_choose() to steal with
before.
