4a338afd7a Move a bunch of flags from the KSE to the thread.
I was in two minds as to where to put them in the first case..
I should have listenned to the other mind.

b565fb9e6f headers should not really include "opt_foo.h" (in this case opt_posix.h).
remove it from the header and add it to the files that require it.

b40ce4165d KSE Milestone 2
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

688ebe120c - Close races with signals and other AST's being triggered while we are in
the process of exiting the kernel.  The ast() function now loops as long
  as the PS_ASTPENDING or PS_NEEDRESCHED flags are set.  It returns with
  preemption disabled so that any further AST's that arrive via an
  interrupt will be delayed until the low-level MD code returns to user
  mode.
- Use u_int's to store the tick counts for profiling purposes so that we
  do not need sched_lock just to read p_sticks.  This also closes a
  problem where the call to addupc_task() could screw up the arithmetic
  due to non-atomic reads of p_sticks.
- Axe need_proftick(), aston(), astoff(), astpending(), need_resched(),
  clear_resched(), and resched_wanted() in favor of direct bit operations
  on p_sflag.
- Fix up locking with sched_lock some.  In addupc_intr(), use sched_lock
  to ensure pr_addr and pr_ticks are updated atomically with setting
  PS_OWEUPC.  In ast() we clear pr_ticks atomically with clearing
  PS_OWEUPC.  We also do not grab the lock just to test a flag.
- Simplify the handling of Giant in ast() slightly.

fb919e4d5a Undo part of the tangle of having sys/lock.h and sys/mutex.h included in
other "system" header files.

Also help the deprecation of lockmgr.h by making it a sub-include of
sys/lock.h and removing sys/lockmgr.h form kernel .c files.

Sort sys/*.h includes where possible in affected files.

6caa8a1501 Overhaul of the SMP code. Several portions of the SMP kernel support have
been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made
to support Alpha SMP.

- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
  into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively.  hardclock()
  and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
  that UP systems will run as before.  For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
  to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
  main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt.  For the alpha
  4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
  we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
  functions on the secondaries.  For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
  usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
  to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
  *_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
  involve less hackery.  Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
  sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s).  AST IPIs now just basically
  return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
  astpending or needresched flags themselves.  This also removes the loop in
  forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
  around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
  a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
  implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
  header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's.   The IPI API's from
  machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
  SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
  Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.

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.

36e9f877df Commit major SMP cleanups and move the BGL (big giant lock) in the
syscall path inward.  A system call may select whether it needs the MP
    lock or not (the default being that it does need it).

    A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
    has been removed.  'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
    locking around the cpl has been removed.  The conditional
    separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
    interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
    Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
    interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
    contemplated.

    Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
    lock.  For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
    the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
    save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.

    This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
    to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
    It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
    mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
    transition to occur.

    This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
    the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
    path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls.  The real
    performance gains will come later.

9f79feec16 Fixed some type mismatches. p_retval[0] in struct proc has type
register_t, so pointers to it must be passed around as `register_t *',
not as `int *'.  The type mismatches were non-benign on alphas, but
the broken code is normally only configured by LINT.

aebde78243 1. Add new defs for mins and maxs for the POSIX flavor priorities. They
end up being the same, but it doesn't look like you're comparing
apples and oranges.

2. Use need_resched instead of reset_priority.  This isn't right
either, since for example you'll round-robin against equal priority FIFO
processes when lowering the priority of another process,
but this works better and a real fix needs to be in kern_synch and
not out here.

3. This is not a device driver: copyin/copyout the structure.
