as suser_td(td) works as well as suser_xxx(NULL, p->p_ucred, 0);
This simplifies upcoming changes to suser(), and causes this code
to use the right credential (well, largely) once the td->td_ucred
changes are complete. There remains some redundancy and oddness
in this code, which should be rethought after the next batch of
suser and credential changes.

those savings will be obscured with the impending commit of suser()
changes, and the result is increased code complexity. Also, once
p->p_ucred and td->td_ucred are distinguished, this will make
vfs_mount() use the correct thread credential, rather than the
process credential.
debug another process based on their respective {effective,additional,
saved,real} gid's. p1 is only permitted to debug p2 if its effective
gids (egid + additional groups) are a strict superset of the gids of
p2. This implements properly the security test previously incorrectly
implemented in kern_ktrace.c, and is consistent with the kernel
security policy (although might be slightly confusing for those more
familiar with the userland policy).
o Restructure p_candebug() logic so that various results are generated
comparing uids, gids, credential changes, and then composed in a
single check before testing for privilege. These tests encapsulate
the "BSD" inter-process debugging policy. Other non-BSD checks remain
seperate. Additional comments are added.

policy decision, whereas the P_INEXEC check has to do with "correctness"
regarding race conditions, rather than security policy.
Example: even if no security protections were enforced (the "uids are
advisory" model), removing P_INEXEC could result in incorrect operation
due to races on credential evaluation and modification during execve().

This sysctl requires addition of a new linker operation. Now,
linker_file_t's need to respond to "each_function_name" to export
their function symbols.
Note that the sysctl doesn't currently allow distinguishing multiple
symbols with the same name from different modules, but could quite
easily without a change to the linker operation. This will be a nicety
to have when it can be used.
