is useless for threaded programs, multiple threads can not share same
stack.
The alternative signal stack is private for thread, no lock is needed,
the orignal P_ALTSTACK is now moved into td_pflags and renamed to
TDP_ALTSTACK.
For single thread or Linux clone() based threaded program, there is no
semantic changed, because those programs only have one kernel thread
in every process.

Since all callers either passed 0 or 1 for clear_ret, define bit 0 in
the flags for use as clear_ret. Reserve bits 1, 2 and 3 for use by MI
code for possible (but unlikely) future use. The remaining bits are for
use by MD code.
This change is triggered by a need on ia64 to have another knob for
get_mcontext().
- Move struct sigacts out of the u-area and malloc() it using the
M_SUBPROC malloc bucket.
- Add a small sigacts_*() API for managing sigacts structures: sigacts_alloc(),
sigacts_free(), sigacts_copy(), sigacts_share(), and sigacts_shared().
- Remove the p_sigignore, p_sigacts, and p_sigcatch macros.
- Add a mutex to struct sigacts that protects all the members of the struct.
- Add sigacts locking.
- Remove Giant from nosys(), kill(), killpg(), and kern_sigaction() now
that sigacts is locked.
- Several in-kernel functions such as psignal(), tdsignal(), trapsignal(),
and thread_stopped() are now MP safe.

syscall return values should be cleared. The system calls
getcontext() and swapcontext() want to return 0 on success
but these contexts can be switched to at a later time so
the return values need to be cleared in the saved register
sets. Other callers of get_mcontext() would normally want
the context without clearing the return values.
Remove the i386-specific context saving from the KSE code.
get_mcontext() is not i386-specific any more.
Fix a bad pointer in the alpha get_mcontext() code. The
context was being bcopy()'d from &td->tf_frame, but tf_frame
is itself a pointer, so the thread was being copied instead.

a pointer that is in user space. It will be used as the basic primitive
for a kernel supported user space lock implementation.
- Implement this function in x86's support.s
- Provide stubs that return -1 in all other architectures. Implementations
will follow along shortly.

a follow on commit to kern_sig.c
- signotify() now operates on a thread since unmasked pending signals are
stored in the thread.
- PS_NEEDSIGCHK moves to TDF_NEEDSIGCHK.
- Change all consumers to pass in a thread.
Right now this does not cause any functional changes but it will be important
later when signals can be delivered to specific threads.
where physical addresses larger than virtual addresses, such as i386s
with PAE.
- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

sysctls to MI code; this reduces code duplication and makes all of them
available on sparc64, and the latter two on powerpc.
The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.
not look like the prerequisites to fill it in properly will be in the tree
for the upcoming release, but it's mostly done, so there is no need for these
to stay around to remind us.
