f3a8d2f93c Add security.jail.mount_allowed sysctl, which allows to mount and
unmount jail-friendly file systems from within a jail.
Precisely it grants PRIV_VFS_MOUNT, PRIV_VFS_UNMOUNT and
PRIV_VFS_MOUNT_NONUSER privileges for a jailed super-user.
It is turned off by default.

A jail-friendly file system is a file system which driver registers
itself with VFCF_JAIL flag via VFS_SET(9) API.
The lsvfs(1) command can be used to see which file systems are
jail-friendly ones.

There currently no jail-friendly file systems, ZFS will be the first one.
In the future we may consider marking file systems like nullfs as
jail-friendly.

4e7f640dfb Optimize sx locks to use simple atomic operations for the common cases of
obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks.  The algorithms for
manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks.  This patch
also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes.

A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be
specified to alter a given locks behavior.  The flags include SX_DUPOK,
SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature
to the similar flags for mutexes.

Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option.  Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.

The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels.  As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.

The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.

The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
disturbed.

8f27b08e87 Rename the cv_*wait*() functions to _cv_*wait*() and change their second
argument from a mutex to a lock_object.  Add cv_*wait*() wrapper macros
that accept either a mutex, rwlock, or sx lock as the second argument and
convert it to a lock_object and then call _cv_*wait*().  Basically, the
visible difference is that you can now use rwlocks and sx locks with
condition variables using the same API as with mutexes.
