inter-process signalling ceased to preserve and return that value,
instead always returning EPERM. This meant that it was possible
to "probe" the pid space for processes that were not otherwise
visible. This change reverts that reversion.

on committing to these while they were in the Attic after they had been
removed. I think this was because he had the file checked out and already
'modified' while markm cvs rm'ed them, and cvs screws up when trying to
"merge" the modifications with the "rm". And after that the client
state was sufficiently hosed to keep it messed up. Yay CVS! (CVS is
very fragile for adding and removing files remotely)
The existence of these files was pointed out by: ru
be done internally.
Ensure that no one can fsetown() to a dying process/pgrp. We need
to check the process for P_WEXIT to see if it's exiting. Process
groups are already safe because there is no such thing as a pgrp
zombie, therefore the proctree lock completely protects the pgrp
from having sigio structures associated with it after it runs
funsetownlst.
Add sigio lock to witness list under proctree and allproc, but over
proc and pgrp.
Seigo Tanimura helped with this.
Don't try to create a vm object before the file system has a chance to finish
initializing it. This is incorrect for a number of reasons. Firstly, that
VOP requires a lock which the file system may not have initialized yet. Also,
open and others will create a vm object if it is necessary later.
killed by SIGSYS for unimlemented syscalls is bad enough.

sys/time.h rev.1.53, etc. Zero out the entire struct clkinfo and not
just the new spare part of it so that there is no possibility of leaking
kernel stack context to userland.
- Reorder fork1() to do malloc() and other blocking operations prior to
acquiring the needed process locks.
- The new process inherit's the credentials of curthread, not the
credentials of the old process.
- Document a really weird race that will come up with KSE allows multiple
kernel threads per process.
exit1() we don't have to release it until we acquire schd_lock to
call cpu_throw().
- Since we can switch at any time due to preemption or a lock release
prior to acquiring sched_lock, don't update switchtime and switchticks
until the very end of exit1() after we have acquired sched_lock.
- Interlock the proctree_lock and proc lock in wait1() and exit1() to
avoid lost wakeups when a parent blocks waiting for a child to exit at
the bottom of wait1(). In exit1() the proc lock interlocked with
proctree_lock (and released after acquiring sched_lock) is that of
the parent process.
- In wait1() use an exclusive lock of proctree lock while we are
looking for a process to harvest. This allows us to completely
remove all references to the process once we've found one (i.e.,
disconnect it from pgrp's, session's, zombproc list, and it's parent's
children list) "atomically" without needing to worry about a lock
upgrade.
- We don't need sched_lock to test if p_stat is SZOMB or SSTOP when holding
the proc lock since the proc lock is always held with p_stat is set to
SZOMB or SSTOP.
- Protect nprocs with an xlock of the allproc_lock.
locks the process.
- Defer other blocking operations such as vrele()'s until after we
release locks.
- execsigs() now requires the proc lock to be held when it is called
rather than locking the process internally.
mallochash. Mallochash is going to go away as soon as I introduce the
kfree/kmalloc api and partially overhaul the malloc wrapper. This can't happen
until all users of the malloc api that expect memory to be aligned on the size
of the allocation are fixed.
Implement the following checks on freed memory in the bucket path:
- Slab membership
- Alignment
- Duplicate free
This previously was only done if we skipped the buckets. This code will slow
down INVARIANTS a bit, but it is smp safe. The checks were moved out of the
normal path and into hooks supplied in uma_dbg.
Turn the sigio sx into a mutex.
Sigio lock is really only needed to protect interrupts from dereferencing
the sigio pointer in an object when the sigio itself is being destroyed.
In order to do this in the most unintrusive manner change pgsigio's
sigio * argument into a **, that way we can lock internally to the
function.
