make a series of modifications to the credential arguments relating
to file read and write operations to cliarfy which credential is
used for what:
- Change fo_read() and fo_write() to accept "active_cred" instead of
"cred", and change the semantics of consumers of fo_read() and
fo_write() to pass the active credential of the thread requesting
an operation rather than the cached file cred. The cached file
cred is still available in fo_read() and fo_write() consumers
via fp->f_cred. These changes largely in sys_generic.c.
For each implementation of fo_read() and fo_write(), update cred
usage to reflect this change and maintain current semantics:
- badfo_readwrite() unchanged
- kqueue_read/write() unchanged
pipe_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred rather
than td->td_ucred
- soo_read/write() unchanged
- vn_read/write() now authorize MAC using active_cred but
VOP_READ/WRITE() with fp->f_cred
Modify vn_rdwr() to accept two credential arguments instead of a
single credential: active_cred and file_cred. Use active_cred
for MAC authorization, and select a credential for use in
VOP_READ/WRITE() based on whether file_cred is NULL or not. If
file_cred is provided, authorize the VOP using that cred,
otherwise the active credential, matching current semantics.
Modify current vn_rdwr() consumers to pass a file_cred if used
in the context of a struct file, and to always pass active_cred.
When vn_rdwr() is used without a file_cred, pass NOCRED.
These changes should maintain current semantics for read/write,
but avoid a redundant passing of fp->f_cred, as well as making
it more clear what the origin of each credential is in file
descriptor read/write operations.
Follow-up commits will make similar changes to other file descriptor
operations, and modify the MAC framework to pass both credentials
to MAC policy modules so they can implement either semantic for
revocation.

The case in cpu_switch() where there isn't a higher priority thread
(choosethread() == curthread) uses r4 as the PCB context pointer. However, the
use of r4 after the label L2 is incorrect, since it was probably trashed by
the call to choosethread, and in any case was set up to curthread at the start
of the routine.
This condition will occur when an interrupt thread schedules a netisr, which
is a lower priority thread.
Another (probably unnecessary) difference is that I was paranoid about
register trashing, so I decided to save r2 and r13 as well.

In order to determine what to page out, the vm_daemon checks
reference bits on all pages belonging to all processes. Unfortunately,
the algorithm used reacted badly with shared pages; each shared page
would be checked once per process sharing it; this caused an O(N^2)
growth of tlb invalidations. The algorithm has been changed so that
each page will be checked only 16 times.
Prior to this change, a fork/sleepbomb of 1300 processes could cause
the vm_daemon to take over 60 seconds to complete, effectively
freezing the system for that time period. With this change
in place, the vm_daemon completes in less than a second. Any system
with hundreds of processes sharing pages should benefit from this change.
Note that the vm_daemon is only run when the system is under extreme
memory pressure. It is likely that many people with loaded systems saw
no symptoms of this problem until they reached the point where swapping
began.

are a really nasty interface that should have been killed long ago
when 'ptrace(PT_[SG]ETREGS' etc came along. The entity that they
operate on (struct user) will not be around much longer since it
is part-per-process and part-per-thread in a post-KSE world.
gdb does not actually use this except for the obscure 'info udot'
command which does a hexdump of as much of the child's 'struct user'
as it can get. It carries its own #defines so it doesn't break
compiles.
