This is a somewhat conservative version of the patch - more fine tuning may be

was needed at preliminary version of the patch, where number of CPU ticks
was divided strictly on 16 seconds. Final code instead uses real interval
duration, so precise interval should not be important. Same time aliasing
issues around second boundary causes false positives, periodically logging
useless "t_delta ... too long/short" messages when HZ set below 256.
the maintenance of vm_pageout_deficit can be localized to just two places:
vm_page_alloc() and vm_pageout_scan().
This change also corrects an off-by-one error in the maintenance of
vm_pageout_deficit. Historically, the buffer cache functions, allocbuf()
and vm_hold_load_pages(), have not taken into account that vm_page_alloc()
already increments vm_pageout_deficit by one.

already allocated or out of the range, -1 is returned.

- Rename tdsignal() to tdsendsignal() and make it private to kern_sig.c.
- Add tdsignal() and tdksignal() routines that mirror psignal() and
pksignal() except that they accept a thread as an argument instead of
a process. They send a signal to a specific thread rather than to an
individual process.

shm syscalls, and initial check for the number of allocated segments
in the module deinitialization code, the following might happen:
after the check for active segment, while waiting for threads to
leave some other syscall, shmget(2) is called. Then, we can end
up with the shared segment that cannot be detached since sysvshm
module is unloaded.
Prevent the leak by rechecking and disclaiming a reference to the vm
object owned by sysvshm module, that might have grown during the drain.
