b61ce5b0e6 - Move all of the PS_ flags into either p_flag or td_flags.
- p_sflag was mostly protected by PROC_LOCK rather than the PROC_SLOCK or
   previously the sched_lock.  These bugs have existed for some time.
 - Allow swapout to try each thread in a process individually and then
   swapin the whole process if any of these fail.  This allows us to move
   most scheduler related swap flags into td_flags.
 - Keep ki_sflag for backwards compat but change all in source tools to
   use the new and more correct location of P_INMEM.

ad1e7d285a Threading cleanup.. part 2 of several.
Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs.  Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.

Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.

The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.

The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.

Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.

19e9205a23 Simplify the pager support in DDB. Allowing different db commands to
install custom pager functions didn't actually happen in practice (they
all just used the simple pager and passed in a local quit pointer).  So,
just hardcode the simple pager as the only pager and make it set a global
db_pager_quit flag that db commands can check when the user hits 'q' (or a
suitable variant) at the pager prompt.  Also, now that it's easy to do so,
enable paging by default for all ddb commands.  Any command that wishes to
honor the quit flag can do so by checking db_pager_quit.  Note that the
pager can also be effectively disabled by setting $lines to 0.

Other fixes:
- 'show idt' on i386 and pc98 now actually checks the quit flag and
  terminates early.
- 'show intr' now actually checks the quit flag and terminates early.

c9a08d1cad - Overhaul the 'ps' command in ddb to be mostly readable again. :) It is
now back to using fixed-size columns for output and each line of output
  should fit in 80 columns on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.  In
  general the output is close to that of the userland ps(1) with the
  exception that the 'wmesg' field is mostly similar to the "state" field
  in top(1) in that it will show either a wmesg, a lock name (prefixed with
  an *), "CPU xx" (for a running thread), or nothing if none of those three
  conditions are true.  It also respects td_name when listing threads in
  a multithreaded process.  There is a somewhat evilly-defined PTR64 macro
  I use to make account for the change in the size of the 'wchan' column
  in the formatted output (wchan is now the only pointer in the ps output
  and is available so it can be passed to 'show sleepq', 'show turnstile',
  or 'show lock').
- Add two new commands "show proc [process]" and "show thread [thread]"
  that show details about the specified process or thread (specified
  either by pid/tid or pointer), respectively.  If an address it not
  specified, it uses the current kdb thread.

d39d4a6e64 - Change the ddb paging "support" to use a variable (db_lines_per_page) to
control the number of lines per page rather than a constant.  The variable
  can be examined and changed in ddb as '$lines'.  Setting the variable to
  0 will effectively turn off paging.
- Change db_putchar() to force out pending whitespace before outputting
  newlines and carriage returns so that one can rub out content on the
  current line via '\r     \r' type strings.
- Change the simple pager to rub out the --More-- prompt explicitly when
  the routine exits.
- Add some aliases to the simple pager to make it more compatible with
  more(1): 'e' and 'j' do a single line.  'd' does half a page, and
  'f' does a full page.

ed062c8d66 Refactor a bunch of scheduler code to give basically the same behaviour
but with slightly cleaned up interfaces.

The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler
private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great
one is #defined as the other at this time.

The KSE (or td_sched) structure is  now allocated per thread and has no
allocation code of its own.

Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters
rather than using KSE structures as tokens.

Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c
is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the
scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure.

The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's
queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure.
(per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the
scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except
the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental
schedulers with completely different internal structuring.

A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that
notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp
should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also
used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with
10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process
with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above
NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many
onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop
their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated.

Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as
linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance
but I will work to recover as much of it as I can.

Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly.
exit and exec code now transitions a process back to
'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.

37224cd3fc Mega update for the KDB framework: turn DDB into a KDB backend.
Most of the changes are a direct result of adding thread awareness.
Typically, DDB_REGS is gone. All registers are taken from the
trapframe and backtraces use the PCB based contexts. DDB_REGS was
defined to be a trapframe on all platforms anyway.
Thread awareness introduces the following new commands:
	thread X	switch to thread X (where X is the TID),
	show threads	list all threads.

The backtrace code has been made more flexible so that one can
create backtraces for any thread by giving the thread ID as an
argument to trace.

With this change, ia64 has support for breakpoints.

44f3b09204 Switch the sleep/wakeup and condition variable implementations to use the
sleep queue interface:
- Sleep queues attempt to merge some of the benefits of both sleep queues
  and condition variables.  Having sleep qeueus in a hash table avoids
  having to allocate a queue head for each wait channel.  Thus, struct cv
  has shrunk down to just a single char * pointer now.  However, the
  hash table does not hold threads directly, but queue heads.  This means
  that once you have located a queue in the hash bucket, you no longer have
  to walk the rest of the hash chain looking for threads.  Instead, you have
  a list of all the threads sleeping on that wait channel.
- Outside of the sleepq code and the sleep/cv code the kernel no longer
  differentiates between cv's and sleep/wakeup.  For example, calls to
  abortsleep() and cv_abort() are replaced with a call to sleepq_abort().
  Thus, the TDF_CVWAITQ flag is removed.  Also, calls to unsleep() and
  cv_waitq_remove() have been replaced with calls to sleepq_remove().
- The sched_sleep() function no longer accepts a priority argument as
  sleep's no longer inherently bump the priority.  Instead, this is soley
  a propery of msleep() which explicitly calls sched_prio() before
  blocking.
- The TDF_ONSLEEPQ flag has been dropped as it was never used.  The
  associated TDF_SET_ONSLEEPQ and TDF_CLR_ON_SLEEPQ macros have also been
  dropped and replaced with a single explicit clearing of td_wchan.
  TD_SET_ONSLEEPQ() would really have only made sense if it had taken
  the wait channel and message as arguments anyway.  Now that that only
  happens in one place, a macro would be overkill.

0dbb100b9b Move UPCALL related data structure out of kse, introduce a new
data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.

A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.

Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.

Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.

KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.

When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.

The code hasn't been tested under SMP by author due to lack of hardware.

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.

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.

Style fix: use explicit an comparison with NULL for all null pointer

db_interface.c:
Fixed ddb's handling of traps from with ddb on i386's only.

This was mostly fixed in rev.1.27 (by longjmp()'ing back to the top

mostly never worked for other arches, since rev.1.27 has not been ported

cases should be handled at a lower level to provided better control and
simplify unwinding of state.

Implementation details: don't pretend to maintain db_active in a nested
way -- ddb cannot be reentered in a nested way.  Use db_active instead
of the db_global_jmpbuf_valid flag and longjmp()'s return value for things
related to reentering ddb.  [re]entering is still not atomic enough.

  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

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.
