"refreshing" the label on the vnode before use, just get the label
right from inception. For single-label file systems, set the label
in the generic VFS getnewvnode() code; for multi-label file systems,
leave the labeling up to the file system. With UFS1/2, this means
reading the extended attribute during vfs_vget() as the inode is
pulled off disk, rather than hitting the extended attributes
frequently during operations later, improving performance. This
also corrects sematics for shared vnode locks, which were not
previously present in the system. This chances the cache
coherrency properties WRT out-of-band access to label data, but in
an acceptable form. With UFS1, there is a small race condition
during automatic extended attribute start -- this is not present
with UFS2, and occurs because EAs aren't available at vnode

various functions in procfs depending on which ptrace operation was
requested. Most of these functions were themselves wrappers around
procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs(), with only some extra error checks,
which weren't necessary in the ptrace case anyway.
This commit moves procfs_rwmem() from procfs_mem.c into sys_process.c

directly in terms of procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs() instead of
having it fake up a struct uio and then call procfs_do{,db,fp}regs().
It also moves the prototypes for procfs_{read,write}_{,db,fp}regs()

possibly ever since pfind() was changed to lock the process it returns.

The core of the signalling code has been rewritten to operate
on the new sigset_t. No methodological changes have been made.
Most references to a sigset_t object are through macros (see
signalvar.h) to create a level of abstraction and to provide
a basis for further improvements.
The NSIG constant has not been changed to reflect the maximum
number of signals possible. The reason is that it breaks
programs (especially shells) which assume that all signals
have a non-null name in sys_signame. See src/bin/sh/trap.c
for an example. Instead _SIG_MAXSIG has been introduced to
hold the maximum signal possible with the new sigset_t.
struct sigprop has been moved from signalvar.h to kern_sig.c
because a) it is only used there, and b) access must be done
though function sigprop(). The latter because the table doesn't
holds properties for all signals, but only for the first NSIG
signals.
signal.h has been reorganized to make reading easier and to
add the new and/or modified structures. The "old" structures
are moved to signalvar.h to prevent namespace polution.
Especially the coda filesystem suffers from the change, because
it contained lines like (p->p_sigmask == SIGIO), which is easy
to do for integral types, but not for compound types.
NOTE: kdump (and port linux_kdump) must be recompiled.

I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

Add new function: suser(struct proc *), prototyped in <sys/proc.h>.
3:
s/suser_xxx(\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)->p_ucred, \&\1->p_acflag)/suser(\1)/
The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with
later.
There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left
as an exercise for Bruce.
More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.

Prior to the removal, they were entirely unused.
changes to the VM system to support the new swapper, VM bug
fixes, several VM optimizations, and some additional revamping of the
VM code. The specific bug fixes will be documented with additional
forced commits. This commit is somewhat rough in regards to code
cleanup issues.

is enough to satisfy things like StarOffice. This is a hack, but doing
it properly would be a LOT of work, and would require extensive grovelling
around in the user address space to find the argv[].

for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

The change a couple of days ago to ignore these numbers in statically
configured vfsconf structs was slightly premature because the cd9660,
cfs, devfs, ext2fs, nfs vfs's still used MOUNT_* instead of the number
in their vfsconf struct.
