create kernel threads and call rfork(2) with RFTHREAD flag set in this case,
which puts parent and child into the same threading group. As a result
all threads that belong to the same program end up in the same threading
group.
This is similar to what linuxthreads port does, though in this case we don't
have a luxury of having access to the source code and there is no definite
way to differentiate linux_clone() called for threading purposes from other
uses, so that we have to resort to heuristics.
Allow SIGTHR to be delivered between all processes in the same threading
group previously it has been blocked for s[ug]id processes.
This also should improve locking of the same file descriptor from different
threads in programs running under linux compat layer.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
- The p_rlimit macro no longer exists.

- signotify() now operates on a thread since unmasked pending signals are
stored in the thread.
- PS_NEEDSIGCHK moves to TDF_NEEDSIGCHK.
- add wrappers for mmap2(2) and ftruncate64(2) system calls;
- don't spam console with printf's when VFAT_READDIR_BOTH ioctl(2) is invoked;
- add support for SOUND_MIXER_READ_STEREODEVS ioctl(2);
- make msgctl(IPC_STAT) and IPC_SET actually working by converting from
BSD msqid_ds to Linux and vice versa;
- properly return EINVAL if semget(2) is called with nsems being negative.

This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create. Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created. Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main

o Introduce private types for use in linux syscalls for two reasons:
1. establish type independence for ease in porting and,
2. provide a visual queue as to which syscalls have proper
prototypes to further cleanup the i386/alpha split.
Linuxulator types are prefixed by 'l_'. void and char have not
been "virtualized".
o Provide dummy functions for all syscalls and remove dummy functions
or implementations of truely obsolete syscalls.
o Sanitize the shm*, sem* and msg* syscalls.
o Make a first attempt to implement the linux_sysctl syscall. At this
time it only returns one MIB (KERN_VERSION), but most importantly,
it tells us when we need to add additional sysctls :-)
o Bump the kenel version up to 2.4.2 (this is not the same as the
KERN_VERSION MIB, BTW).
o Implement new syscalls, of which most are specific to i386. Our
syscall table is now up to date with Linux 2.4.2. Some highlights:
- Implement the 32-bit uid_t and gid_t bases syscalls.
- Implement a couple of 64-bit file size/offset bases syscalls.
o Fix or improve numerous syscalls and prototypes.
o Reduce style(9) violations while I'm here. Especially indentation
inconsistencies within the same file are addressed. Re-indenting

It was observed that installing a RH 7.1 runtime environment

process is on the alternate stack or not. For compatibility
with sigstack(2) state is being updated if such is needed.
We now determine whether the process is on the alternate
stack by looking at its stack pointer. This allows a process
to siglongjmp from a signal handler on the alternate stack
to the place of the sigsetjmp on the normal stack. When
maintaining state, this would have invalidated the state
information and causing a subsequent signal to be delivered
on the normal stack instead of the alternate stack.

The SVR4 and iBCS2 modules continue to have a minsigstksz of

not known at this time. Other ABI modules use the real
values.

stacks near the top of their address space. If their TOS is greater
than vm_maxsaddr, vm_map_growstack() will confuse the thread stack
with the process stack and deliver a SEGV if they attempt to grow the
thread stack past their current stacksize rlimit. To avoid this,
adjust vm_maxsaddr upwards to reflect the current stacksize rlimit
rather than the maximum possible stacksize. It would be better to
adjust the mmap'ed region, but some apps (again, IBM's JDK 1.3) do not
check mmap's return value..
This commit (in conjunction with setting MINSIGSTKSZ to 2048 &

This fixes two problems with linux_sigaltstack()
o ss == 0 is perfectly valid use, so do not fail in this case.
o Fix flag handling:
- Our SS_DISABLE is 4, linux's is 2, so we need conversion routines.
These conversion routines will be needed by linux_rt_sendsig()
and linux_rt_sigreturn (forthcoming), so they are not static.
- Linux's flag 0 historically meant SS_ONSTACK according to a comment
in their linux/kernel/signal.c file.
Among other things, this fixes a warning from Sun's JDK 1.3:
"Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: cannot uninstall alt signal stack"
