c6d31b8306 AST: rework
Make most AST handlers dynamically registered.  This allows to have
subsystem-specific handler source located in the subsystem files,
instead of making subr_trap.c aware of it.  For instance, signal
delivery code on return to userspace is now moved to kern_sig.c.

Also, it allows to have some handlers designated as the cleanup (kclear)
type, which are called both at AST and on thread/process exit.  For
instance, ast(), exit1(), and NFS server no longer need to be aware
about UFS softdep processing.

The dynamic registration also allows third-party modules to register AST
handlers if needed.  There is one caveat with loadable modules: the
code does not make any effort to ensure that the module is not unloaded
before all threads processed through AST handler in it.  In fact, this
is already present behavior for hwpmc.ko and ufs.ko.  I do not think it
is worth the efforts and the runtime overhead to try to fix it.

b319171861 setitimer: Fix exit race
We use the p_itcallout callout, interlocked by the proc lock, to
schedule timeouts for the setitimer(2) system call.  When a process
exits, the callout must be stopped before the process struct is
recycled.

Currently we attempt to stop the callout in exit1() with the call
_callout_stop_safe(&p->p_itcallout, CS_EXECUTING).  If this call returns
0, then we sleep in order to drain the callout.  However, this happens
only if the callout is not scheduled at all.  If the callout thread is
blocked on the proc lock, then exit1() will not block and the callout
may execute after the process has fully exited, typically resulting in a
panic.

I cannot see a reason to use the CS_EXECUTING flag here.  Instead, use
the regular callout_stop()/callout_drain() dance to halt the callout.

46dd801acb Add userland boot profiling to TSLOG
On kernels compiled with 'options TSLOG', record for each process ID:
* The timestamp of the fork() which creates it and the parent
process ID,
* The first path passed to execve(), if any,
* The first path resolved by namei, if any, and
* The timestamp of the exit() which terminates the process.

Expose this information via a new sysctl, debug.tslog_user.

On kernels lacking 'options TSLOG' (the default), no information is
recorded and the sysctl does not exist.

Note that recording namei is needed in order to obtain the names of
rc.d scripts being launched, as the rc system sources them in a
subshell rather than execing the scripts.

With this commit it is now possible to generate flamecharts of the
entire boot process from the start of the loader to the end of
/etc/rc.  The code needed to perform this processing is currently
found in github: https://github.com/cperciva/freebsd-boot-profiling

FreeBSD dequeued siginfo from the beginning, so we cannot change the

f52979098d Fix a pair of races in SIGIO registration
First, funsetownlst() list looks at the first element of the list to see
whether it's processing a process or a process group list.  Then it
acquires the global sigio lock and processes the list.  However, nothing
prevents the first sigio tracker from being freed by a concurrent
funsetown() before the sigio lock is acquired.

Fix this by acquiring the global sigio lock immediately after checking
whether the list is empty.  Callers of funsetownlst() ensure that new
sigio trackers cannot be added concurrently.

Second, fsetown() uses funsetown() to remove an existing sigio structure
from a file object.  However, funsetown() uses a racy check to avoid the
sigio lock, so two threads may call fsetown() on the same file object,
both observe that no sigio tracker is present, and enqueue two sigio
trackers for the same file object.  However, if the file object is
destroyed, funsetown() will only remove one sigio tracker, and
funsetownlst() may later trigger a use-after-free when it clears the
file object reference for each entry in the list.

Fix this by introducing funsetown_locked(), which avoids the racy check.

c5bc28b273 Fix several issues with process group orphanage.
Attempt of adding assertions that pgrp->pg_jobc counters do not
underflow in r361967, reverted in r362910, points out bugs in the
handling of job control.  Peter Holm was able to narrow down the
problem to very easy reproduction with timeout(1) which uses reaping.

The following list of problems with calculation of pg_jobs which
directs SIGHUP/SIGCONT delivery for orphaned process group was
identified:
- Re-calculation of the orphaned status for children of exiting parent
  was wrong, but mostly unnoticed when all children were reparented to
  init(8).  When child can be reparented to a different process which
  could affect the child' job control state, it was not properly
  accounted for in pg_jobc.
- Lockless check for exiting process' parent process group is racy
  because nothing prevents the parent from changing its group
  membership.
- Exited process is left in the process group, until waited. This
  affects other calculations of pg_jobc.

Split handling of job control status on process changing its process
group, and process exiting.  Calculate increments and decrements for
pg_jobs by exact checking the orphanage instead of assuming process
group membership for children and parent.  Move the call to killjobc()
later under the proctree_lock.  Mark exiting process in killjobc()
with a new flag P_TREE_GRPEXITED and skip it for all pg_jobc
calculations after the flag is set.

Add checker that independently recalculates pg_jobc value and compares
it with the memoized process group state. This is enabled under INVARIANTS.

8e49361164 procdesc: allow to collect status through wait(1) if process is traced
The debugger like truss(1) depends on the wait(2) syscall. This syscall
waits for ALL children. When it is waiting for ALL child's the children
created by process descriptors are not returned. This behavior was
introduced because we want to implement libraries which may pdfork(1).

The behavior of process descriptor brakes truss(1) because it will
not be able to collect the status of processes with process descriptors.

To address this problem the status is returned to parent when the
child is traced. While the process is traced the debugger is the new parent.
In case the original parent and debugger are the same process it means the
debugger explicitly used pdfork() to create the child. In that case the debugger
should be using kqueue()/pdwait() instead of wait().

Add test case to verify that. The test case was implemented by markj@.

The patch below implements trivial bitmaps which gets rid of the problem.
Dedicated lock is introduced to manage IDs.

While here a bug was discovered: all processes would inherit reap id from
the first process spawned by init. This had a side effect of keeping the
ID used and when allocation rolls over to the beginning it keeps being
skipped.

The patch is loosely based on initial work by mjoras@.

1e9a1bf589 proc: create a dedicated lock for zombproc to ligthen the load on allproc_lock
waitpid always takes proctree to evaluate the list, but only takes allproc
if it can reap. With this patch allproc is no longer taken, which helps during
poudriere -j 128.

e3d3e8289b Revert "fork: fix use-after-free with vfork"
This unreliably breaks libc handling of vfork where forking succeded,
but execve did not.

vfork code in libc performs waitpid with WNOHANG in case of failed exec.
With the fix exit codepath was waking up the parent before the child
fully transitioned to a zombie. Woken up parent would waitpid, which
could find a not-yet-zombie child and fail to reap it due to the WNOHANG
flag.

While removing the flag fixes the problem, it is not an option due to older
releases which would still suffer from the kernel change.

Revert the fix until a solution can be worked out.

Note that while use-after-free which gets back due to the revert is a real
bug, it's side-effects are limited due to the fact that struct proc memory
is never released by UMA.
