b1fc0ec1a7 o Merge contents of struct pcred into struct ucred. Specifically, add the
real uid, saved uid, real gid, and saved gid to ucred, as well as the
  pcred->pc_uidinfo, which was associated with the real uid, only rename
  it to cr_ruidinfo so as not to conflict with cr_uidinfo, which
  corresponds to the effective uid.
o Remove p_cred from struct proc; add p_ucred to struct proc, replacing
  original macro that pointed.
  p->p_ucred to p->p_cred->pc_ucred.
o Universally update code so that it makes use of ucred instead of pcred,
  p->p_ucred instead of p->p_pcred, cr_ruidinfo instead of p_uidinfo,
  cr_{r,sv}{u,g}id instead of p_*, etc.
o Remove pcred0 and its initialization from init_main.c; initialize
  cr_ruidinfo there.
o Restruction many credential modification chunks to always crdup while
  we figure out locking and optimizations; generally speaking, this
  means moving to a structure like this:
        newcred = crdup(oldcred);
        ...
        p->p_ucred = newcred;
        crfree(oldcred);
  It's not race-free, but better than nothing.  There are also races
  in sys_process.c, all inter-process authorization, fork, exec, and
  exit.
o Remove sigio->sio_ruid since sigio->sio_ucred now contains the ruid;
  remove comments indicating that the old arrangement was a problem.
o Restructure exec1() a little to use newcred/oldcred arrangement, and
  use improved uid management primitives.
o Clean up exit1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup due to
  pcred removal.
o Clean up fork1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup and
  allocation.
o Clean up ktrcanset() to take into account changes, and move to using
  suser_xxx() instead of performing a direct uid==0 comparision.
o Improve commenting in various kern_prot.c credential modification
  calls to better document current behavior.  In a couple of places,
  current behavior is a little questionable and we need to check
  POSIX.1 to make sure it's "right".  More commenting work still
  remains to be done.
o Update credential management calls, such as crfree(), to take into
  account new ruidinfo reference.
o Modify or add the following uid and gid helper routines:
      change_euid()
      change_egid()
      change_ruid()
      change_rgid()
      change_svuid()
      change_svgid()
  In each case, the call now acts on a credential not a process, and as
  such no longer requires more complicated process locking/etc.  They
  now assume the caller will do any necessary allocation of an
  exclusive credential reference.  Each is commented to document its
  reference requirements.
o CANSIGIO() is simplified to require only credentials, not processes
  and pcreds.
o Remove lots of (p_pcred==NULL) checks.
o Add an XXX to authorization code in nfs_lock.c, since it's
  questionable, and needs to be considered carefully.
o Simplify posix4 authorization code to require only credentials, not
  processes and pcreds.  Note that this authorization, as well as
  CANSIGIO(), needs to be updated to use the p_cansignal() and
  p_cansched() centralized authorization routines, as they currently
  do not take into account some desirable restrictions that are handled
  by the centralized routines, as well as being inconsistent with other
  similar authorization instances.
o Update libkvm to take these changes into account.

2395531439 Introduce a global lock for the vm subsystem (vm_mtx).
vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level
vm operations.

faults can not be taken without holding Giant.

Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely.

Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the
vm mutex.

Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers.

FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor
changes (grabbing the vm lock when twiddling page properties).

a90ef2ae0f The kernel did not hold a vnode reference associated with the
`rootvnode' pointer, but vfs_syscalls.c's checkdirs() assumed that
it did. This bug reliably caused a panic at reboot time if any
filesystem had been mounted directly over /.

The checkdirs() function is called at mount time to find any process
fd_cdir or fd_rdir pointers referencing the covered mountpoint
vnode. It transfers these to point at the root of the new filesystem.
However, this process was not reversed at unmount time, so processes
with a cwd/root at a mount point would unexpectedly lose their
cwd/root following a mount-unmount cycle at that mountpoint.

This change should fix both of the above issues. Start_init() now
holds an extra vnode reference corresponding to `rootvnode', and
dounmount() releases this reference when the root filesystem is
unmounted just before reboot. Dounmount() now undoes the actions
taken by checkdirs() at mount time; any process cdir/rdir pointers
that reference the root vnode of the unmounted filesystem are
transferred to the now-uncovered vnode.

update native priority, it is diffcult to get right and likely
to end up horribly wrong.  Use an honestly wrong fixed value

d5a08a6065 Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly.
- All processes go into the same array of queues, with different
  scheduling classes using different portions of the array.  This
  allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into
  interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
  32.  We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
  may not be optimal.  The new run queue code was written with this
  in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
  constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter.  This
  is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues.  Implement
  wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
  the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
  propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
  symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
  This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
  it should yield.  We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority().  It should now have the desired
  effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
  idle loop.  It interfered with propogate_priority() because
  the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
  and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
  onto it.  The idle process should not do anything except idle.
  vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
  kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
  system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface.  Deliberately
  change its size by adjusting the spare fields.  It remained the same
  size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
  would parse the data incorrectly.  The size constraint should really
  be changed to an arbitrary version number.  Also add a debug.sizeof
  sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.

9ed346bab0 Change and clean the mutex lock interface.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

than freeing the structure when the resource consumption drops to zero.

37b087a645 Clean up some low level bootstrap code:
- stop using the evil 'struct trapframe' argument for mi_startup()
  (formerly main()).  There are much better ways of doing it.
- do not use prepare_usermode() - setregs() in execve() will do it
  all for us as long as the p_md.md_regs pointer is set.  (which is
  now done in machdep.c rather than init_main.c.  The Alpha port did it
  this way all along and is much cleaner).
- collect all the magic %cr0 etc register settings into one place and
  have the AP's call that instead of using magic numbers (!!) that keep
  changing over and over again.
- Make it safe to call kthread_create() earlier, including during the
  device probe sequence.  It doesn't need the callback mechanism that
  NetBSD's version uses.
- kthreads created this way are root-less as they exist before the root
  filesystem is mounted.  init(1) is set up so that it aquires the root
  pointers prior to running.  If other kthreads want filesystem acccess
  we can make this code more generic.
- set all threads start times once we have decided what time it is.
- init uses a trampoline rather than the evil prepare_usermode() hack.
- kern_descrip.c has a couple of tweaks to deal with forking when there
  is no rootdir or cwd etc.
- adjust the early SYSINIT() sequence so that a few prereqisites are in
  place. eg: make sure the run queue is initialized before doing forks.

With this, the USB code can easily create a kthread to do the device
tree discovery.  (I have tested it, it works nicely).

There are still some open issues before this is truely useful.
- tsleep() does not like working before the clock is running.  It
  sort-of tries to spin wait, but it can do more useful things now.
- stopping a kthread in kld code at unload time is "interesting" but
  we have a solution for that.

The Alpha code needs no changes for this.  It already uses pretty much the
same strategies, but a little cleaner.

c636255150 fix races in the uidinfo subsystem, several problems existed:
1) while allocating a uidinfo struct malloc is called with M_WAITOK,
   it's possible that while asleep another process by the same user
   could have woken up earlier and inserted an entry into the uid
   hash table.  Having redundant entries causes inconsistancies that
   we can't handle.

   fix: do a non-waiting malloc, and if that fails then do a blocking
   malloc, after waking up check that no one else has inserted an entry
   for us already.

2) Because many checks for sbsize were done as "test then set" in a non
   atomic manner it was possible to exceed the limits put up via races.

   fix: instead of querying the count then setting, we just attempt to
   set the count and leave it up to the function to return success or
   failure.

3) The uidinfo code was inlining and repeating, lookups and insertions
   and deletions needed to be in their own functions for clarity.

9dcbe2404a Convert DEVFS hooks in (most) drivers to make_dev().
Diskslice/label code not yet handled.

Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)

Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c

The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.

A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.

A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().

9c8b8baa38 Slight reorganization of kernel thread/process creation. Instead of using
SYSINIT_KT() etc (which is a static, compile-time procedure), use a
NetBSD-style kthread_create() interface.  kproc_start is still available
as a SYSINIT() hook.  This allowed simplification of chunks of the
sysinit code in the process.  This kthread_create() is our old kproc_start
internals, with the SYSINIT_KT fork hooks grafted in and tweaked to work
the same as the NetBSD one.

One thing I'd like to do shortly is get rid of nfsiod as a user initiated
process.  It makes sense for the nfs client code to create them on the
fly as needed up to a user settable limit.  This means that nfsiod
doesn't need to be in /sbin and is always "available".  This is a fair bit
easier to do outside of the SYSINIT_KT() framework.

df8abd0bb9 Slight tweak to fork1() calling conventions. Add a third argument so
the caller can easily find the child proc struct.  fork(), rfork() etc
syscalls set p->p_retval[] themselves.  Simplify the SYSINIT_KT() code
and other kernel thread creators to not need to use pfind() to find the
child based on the pid.  While here, partly tidy up some of the fork1()
code for RF_SIGSHARE etc.
