now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

statically configured entry of the same host. This bug was
due to the expiration timer was not cancelled when installing
the static entry. Since there exist a potential race condition
with respect to timer cancellation, simply check for the
LLE_STATIC bit inside the expiration function instead of
cancelling the active timer.

for the interface address. This marker is necessary to properly support
PPP types of links where multiple links can have the same local end
IP address. The IFA_RTSELF flag bit maps to the RTF_HOST value, which
was combined into the route flag bits during prefix installation in
IPv6. This inclusion causing the prefix route to be unusable. This
patch fixes this bug by excluding the IFA_RTSELF flag during route
installation.

It looks like I didn't implement this when I imported MPSAFE TTY.
Applications like mail(1) still use this. I think it's conceptually bad.

- use a uniform mtag format for all packets that exit and re-enter
the firewall in the middle of a rulechain. On reentry, all tags
containing reinject info are renamed to MTAG_IPFW_RULE so the
processing is simpler.
- make ipfw and dummynet use ip_len and ip_off in network format
everywhere. Conversion is done only once instead of tracking
the format in every place.
- use a macro FREE_PKT to dispose of mbufs. This eases portability.
On passing i also removed a few typos, staticise or localise variables,
remove useless declarations and other minor things.
Overall the code shrinks a bit and is hopefully more readable.
I have tested functionality for all but ng_ipfw and if_bridge/if_ethersubr.
For ng_ipfw i am actually waiting for feedback from glebius@ because
we might have some small changes to make.
For if_bridge and if_ethersubr feedback would be welcome
(there are still some redundant parts in these two modules that
I would like to remove, but first i need to check functionality).
Do by specifying ".../" with '-m' or MAKESYSPATH (new) environment variable.

Std 1003.1-2008. Both Linux and Solaris conforms to the new definitions,
so we better follow too (older glibc used old BSDish alphasort prototype
and corresponding type of the comparision function for scandir). While
there, change the definitions of the functions to ANSI C and fix several
style issues nearby.
Remove requirement for "sys/types.h" include for functions from manpage.
POSIX also requires that alphasort(3) sorts as if strcoll(3) was used,
but leave the strcmp(3) call in the function for now.
Adapt in-tree callers of scandir(3) to new declaration. The fact that
select_sections() from catman(1) could modify supplied struct dirent is
a bug.

processes to share semaphore by using shared memory area, in simplest case,
only one atomic operation is needed in userland, waiter flag is maintained by
kernel and userland only checks the flag, if the flag is set, user code enters
kernel and does a wakeup() call.
Move type definitions into file _umtx.h to minimize compiling time.
Also type names need to be prefixed with underline character, this would reduce
name conflict (still in progress).
