- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
- The p_rlimit macro no longer exists.

working-set algorithm was removed in favor of using the per cpu caches
as the working set.
"scheduler" here has very little to do with scheduling. It is actually
the swapper, and it really must be the last SYSINIT'ed item like its
comment says, since proc0 metamorphoses into swapper by calling
scheduler() last in mi_start(), and scheduler() never returns.. Rev.1.29
of subr_4bsd.c broke this by adding another SI_ORDER_FIRST item
(kproc_start() for schedcpu_thread() onto the SI_SUB_RUN_SCHEDULER_LIST.
The sorting of SYSINITs with identical orders (at all levels) is
apparently nondeterministic, so this resulted in schedule() sometimes
being called second last and schedcpu_thread() not being called at all.
This quick fix just changes the code to almost match the comment
(SI_ORDER_FIRST -> SI_ORDER_ANY). "LAST" is misspelled "ANY", and
there is no way to ensure that there is only 1 very lst SYSINIT.
A more complete fix would remove the SYSINIT obfuscation.

free pages queue. This is presently needed by contigmalloc1().
- Move a sanity check against attempted double allocation of two pages
to the same vm object offset from vm_page_alloc() to vm_page_insert().
This provides better protection because double allocation could occur
through a direct call to vm_page_insert(), such as that by
vm_page_rename().
- Modify contigmalloc1() to hold the mutex synchronizing access to the
free pages queue while it scans vm_page_array in search of free pages.
- Correct a potential leak of pages by contigmalloc1() that I introduced
in revision 1.20: We must convert all cache queue pages to free pages
before we begin removing free pages from the free queue. Otherwise,
if we have to restart the scan because we are unable to acquire the
vm object lock that is necessary to convert a cache queue page to a
free page, we leak those free pages already removed from the free queue.
vm object hasn't changed, the desired page will be at or near the root
of the vm object's splay tree, making vm_page_lookup() cheap. (The only
lock required for vm_page_lookup() is already held.) If, however, the
vm object has changed and retry was requested, eliminating the generation
check also eliminates a pointless acquisition and release of the page
queues lock.
This guard page would have trapped the problems with the MFC of the PAE
support to RELENG_4 at an earlier point in the sequence of events.

mincore(2) should check that the page is valid, not just allocated.
Otherwise, it can return a false positive for a page that is not yet

between vm_map and vnode locks is that vm_map locks are acquired first. In
revision 1.150 mmap(2) was changed to pass a locked vnode into vm_mmap().
This creates a lock-order reversal when vm_mmap() calls one of the vm_map
routines that acquires a vm_map lock. The solution implemented herein is
to release the vnode lock in mmap() before calling vm_mmap() and reacquire
this lock if necessary in vm_mmap().
