correspond to the commit log. It changed the maxswzone and maxbcache
parameters from int to long, without changing the extern definitions
in <sys/buf.h>.
In fact it's a good thing it did not, because other parts of the system
are not yet ready for this, and on large-memory sparc machines it causes
severe filesystem damage if you try.
The worst effect of the change was that the tunables controlling the
above variables stopped working. These were necessary to allow such
large sparc64 machines (with >12GB RAM) to boot, since sparc64 did not
set a hard-coded upper limit on these parameters and they ended
up overflowing an int, causing an infinite loop at boot in bufinit().

changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.
2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.
3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.
4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.
5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.
6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.

notifications when LIO operations completed. These were the problems
with LIO event complete notification:
- Move all LIO/AIO event notification into one general function
so we don't have bugs in different data paths. This unification
got rid of several notification bugs one of which if kqueue was
used a SIGILL could get sent to the process.
- Change the LIO event accounting to count all AIO request that
could have been split across the fast path and daemon mode.
The prior accounting only kept track of AIO op's in that
mode and not the entire list of operations. This could cause
a bogus LIO event complete notification to occur when all of
the fast path AIO op's completed and not the AIO op's that
ended up queued for the daemon.

possible for do_execve() to call exit1() rather than returning. As a
result, the sequence "allocate memory; call kern_execve; free memory"
can end up leaking memory.
This commit documents this astonishing behaviour and adds a call to
exec_free_args() before the exit1() call in do_execve(). Since all
the users of kern_execve() in the tree use exec_free_args() to free
the command-line arguments after kern_execve() returns, this should
be safe, and it fixes the memory leak which can otherwise occur.

o Axe poll in trap.
o Axe IFF_POLLING flag from if_flags.
o Rework revision 1.21 (Giant removal), in such a way that
poll_mtx is not dropped during call to polling handler.
This fixes problem with idle polling.
o Make registration and deregistration from polling in a
functional way, insted of next tick/interrupt.
o Obsolete kern.polling.enable. Polling is turned on/off
with ifconfig.
Detailed kern_poll.c changes:
- Remove polling handler flags, introduced in 1.21. The are not
needed now.
- Forget and do not check if_flags, if_capenable and if_drv_flags.
- Call all registered polling handlers unconditionally.
- Do not drop poll_mtx, when entering polling handlers.
- In ether_poll() NET_LOCK_GIANT prior to locking poll_mtx.
- In netisr_poll() axe the block, where polling code asks drivers
to unregister.
- In netisr_poll() and ether_poll() do polling always, if any
handlers are present.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() remove a lot of error hiding code. Assert
that arguments are correct, instead.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() use standard return values in case of
error or success.
- Introduce poll_switch() that is a sysctl handler for kern.polling.enable.
poll_switch() goes through interface list and enabled/disables polling.
A message that kern.polling.enable is deprecated is printed.
Detailed driver changes:
- On attach driver announces IFCAP_POLLING in if_capabilities, but
not in if_capenable.
- On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled.
- In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING
flag. If there is no, then unlocks and returns.
- In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to
be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then
obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts.
- In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable.
If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious
interrupts.

Add a new private thread flag to indicate that the thread should
not sleep if runningbufspace is too large.
Set this flag on the bufdaemon and syncer threads so that they skip
the waitrunningbufspace() call in bufwrite() rather than than
checking the proc pointer vs. the known proc pointers for these two
threads. A way of preventing these threads from being starved for
I/O but still placing limits on their outstanding I/O would be
desirable.
Set this flag in ffs_copyonwrite() to prevent bufwrite() calls from
blocking on the runningbufspace check while holding snaplk. This
prevents snaplk from being held for an arbitrarily long period of
time if runningbufspace is high and greatly reduces the contention
for snaplk. The disadvantage is that ffs_copyonwrite() can start
a large amount of I/O if there are a large number of snapshots,
which could cause a deadlock in other parts of the code.
Call runningbufwakeup() in ffs_copyonwrite() to decrement runningbufspace
before attempting to grab snaplk so that I/O requests waiting on
snaplk are not counted in runningbufspace as being in-progress.
Increment runningbufspace again before actually launching the
original I/O request.
Prior to the above two changes, the system could deadlock if enough
I/O requests were blocked by snaplk to prevent runningbufspace from
falling below lorunningspace and one of the bawrite() calls in
ffs_copyonwrite() blocked in waitrunningbufspace() while holding
snaplk.

Now that Giant is acquired in uprintf() and tprintf(), the caller no
longer leads to acquire Giant unless it also holds another mutex that
would generate a lock order reversal when calling into these functions.
Specifically not backed out is the acquisition of Giant in nfs_socket.c

the lock order with Giant.
This aligns this code more with the eventual locking of ttys.

the vast majority of cases, these functions are called without mutexes
held, meaning that in all but two cases, there will be no ordering
issues with doing this, and it will eliminate the need for changes in
the caller. In two cases, mutexes are held, so Giant must be acquired
before those mutexes such that uprintf() and tprintf() recurse Giant
rather than generating a lock order reversal.
