b89bc9e62b When a process has been waiting on a condition variable or mutex the
td_wmesg field in the thread structure points to the description string of
the condition variable or mutex. If the condvar or the mutex had been
initialized from a loadable module that was unloaded in the meantime,
td_wmesg may now point to invalid memory. Retrieving the process table now
may panic the kernel (or access junk). Setting the td_wmesg field to NULL
after unblocking on the condvar/mutex prevents this panic.

93a7aa79d6 Add code to ddb to allow backtracing an arbitrary thread.
(show thread {address})

Remove the IDLE kse state and replace it with a change in
the way threads sahre KSEs. Every KSE now has a thread, which is
considered its "owner" however a KSE may also be lent to other
threads in the same group to allow completion of in-kernel work.
n this case the owner remains the same and the KSE will revert to the
owner when the other work has been completed.

All creations of upcalls etc. is now done from
kse_reassign() which in turn is called from mi_switch or
thread_exit(). This means that special code can be removed from
msleep() and cv_wait().

kse_release() does not leave a KSE with no thread any more but
converts the existing thread into teh KSE's owner, and sets it up
for doing an upcall. It is just inhibitted from being scheduled until
there is some reason to do an upcall.

Remove all trace of the kse_idle queue since it is no-longer needed.
"Idle" KSEs are now on the loanable queue.

5715307f74 - Move p_cpulimit to struct proc from struct plimit and protect it with
sched_lock.  This means that we no longer access p_limit in mi_switch()
  and the p_limit pointer can be protected by the proc lock.
- Remove PRS_ZOMBIE check from CPU limit test in mi_switch().  PRS_ZOMBIE
  processes don't call mi_switch(), and even if they did there is no longer
  the danger of p_limit being NULL (which is what the original zombie check
  was added for).
- When we bump the current processes soft CPU limit in ast(), just bump the
  private p_cpulimit instead of the shared rlimit.  This fixes an XXX for
  some value of fix.  There is still a (probably benign) bug in that this
  code doesn't check that the new soft limit exceeds the hard limit.

48bfcddd94 Round out the facilty for a 'bound' thread to loan out its KSE
in specific situations. The owner thread must be blocked, and the
borrower can not proceed back to user space with the borrowed KSE.
The borrower will return the KSE on the next context switch where
teh owner wants it back. This removes a lot of possible
race conditions and deadlocks. It is consceivable that the
borrower should inherit the priority of the owner too.
that's another discussion and would be simple to do.

Also, as part of this, the "preallocatd spare thread" is attached to the
thread doing a syscall rather than the KSE. This removes the need to lock
the scheduler when we want to access it, as it's now "at hand".

DDB now shows a lot mor info for threaded proceses though it may need
some optimisation to squeeze it all back into 80 chars again.
(possible JKH project)

Upcalls are now "bound" threads, but "KSE Lending" now means that
other completing syscalls can be completed using that KSE before the upcall
finally makes it back to the UTS. (getting threads OUT OF THE KERNEL is
one of the highest priorities in the KSE system.) The upcall when it happens
will present all the completed syscalls to the KSE for selection.

551cf4e150 Rename the mutex thread and process states to use a more generic 'LOCK'
name instead.  (e.g., SLOCK instead of SMTX, TD_ON_LOCK() instead of
TD_ON_MUTEX())  Eventually a turnstile abstraction will be added that
will be shared with mutexes and other types of locks.  SLOCK/TDI_LOCK will
be used internally by the turnstile code and will not be specific to
mutexes.  Making the change now ensures that turnstiles can be dropped
in at a later date without affecting the ABI of userland applications.

1d56414515 - Adjust comment noting that handling of CPU limit exhaustion is done in
ast().
- Actually set KEF_ASTPENDING so ast() is called.  I think this is buggy
  for a process with multiple KSE's in that PS_XCPU is not a KSE event,
  it's a process-wide event.  IMO there really should probably be two
  ASTPENDING flags, one for per-process, and one for per-KSE.

- In swapout_procs(), perform a test that may block (check of a

c3b98db091 Thinking about it I came to the conclusion that the KSE states were incorrectly
formulated.  The correct states should be:
IDLE:  On the idle KSE list for that KSEG
RUNQ:  Linked onto the system run queue.
THREAD: Attached to a thread and slaved to whatever state the thread is in.

This means that most places where we were adjusting kse state can go away
as it is just moving around because the thread is..
The only places we need to adjust the KSE state is in transition to and from
the idle and run queues.

c86b6ff551 Change the preemption code for software interrupt thread schedules and
mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:

The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe.  Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer.  This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs.  Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called.  (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)

I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha.  I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha
code, so I expect it will work fine.  PowerPC and ARM do not yet have
interrupt code in the tree so they shouldn't be broken.  Sparc64 is
broken, but that's been ok'd by jake and tmm who will be fixing the
interrupt code for sparc64 shortly.

7e1f6dfe9d Modify the critical section API as follows:
- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
  prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
  count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
  a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
  to nesting level 0.  This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
  that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
  cpu_critical_enter/exit.  MI code such as device drivers and spin
  mutexes use the MI wrappers.  Note that since the MI wrappers store
  the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
  arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
  assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().
