cpu could have been bogged down with non-transferable load and still not
migrated a new thread to an idle cpu. This required some benchmarking and
tuning to get right as the comment above it suggests.
- In sched_add(), do the idle check prior to the transfer check so that we
don't try to transfer load from an idle cpu. This fixes panics caused by
IPIs on UP machines running SMP kernels.

reassigning their v_ops field to specfs, detaching from the mountpoint, etc.
However, this is not sufficient. If we vclean() the vnode the pages owned
by the vnode are lost, potentially while buffers reference them. Implement
parts of vclean() seperately in vgonechrl() so that the pages and bufs
associated with a device vnode are not destroyed while in use.
- The new sched_balance_groups() function does intra-group balancing while
sched_balance() balances the available groups.
- Pick a random time between 0 ticks and hz * 2 ticks to restart each
balancing process. Each balancer has its own timeout.
- Pick a random place in the list of groups to start the search for lowest
and highest group loads. This prevents us from prefering a group based on
numeric position.
- Use a nasty hack to stop us from preferring cpu 0. The problem is that
softclock always runs on cpu 0, so it always has a little extra load. We
ignore this load in the balancer for now. In the future softclock should
run on a random cpu and these hacks can go away.
cpu are added to a group.
- Don't place a cpu into the kseq_idle bitmask until all cpus in that group
have idled.
- Prefer idle groups over idle group members in the new kseq_transfer()
function. In this way we will prefer to balance load across full cores
rather than add further load a partial core.
- Before a cpu goes idle, check the other group members for threads. Since
SMT cpus may freely share threads, this is cheap.
- SMT cores may be individually pinned and bound to now. This contrasts the
old mechanism where binding or pinning would have allowed a thread to run
on any available cpu.
- Remove some unnecessary logic from sched_switch(). Priority propagation
should be properly taken care of in sched_prio() now.
turnstile_unpend(). A racing thread that does not have TDI_LOCK set may
either be running on another CPU or it may be sitting on a run queue if it
was preempted during the very small window in turnstile_wait() between
unlocking the turnstile chain lock and locking sched_lock.
case of a turnstile having no threads is just one instance of the more
general case where the thread we are examining has been partially awakened
already in that it has been removed from the turnstile's blocked list but
still has TDI_LOCK set. We detect that case by checking to see if the
thread has already had a turnstile reassigned to it.

to have the kernel switch to a new thread, instead of doing it in
userland. It is in fact needed on ia64 where syscall restarts do not
return to userland first. It's completely handled inside the kernel.
As such, any context created by the kernel as part of an upcall and
caused by some syscall needs to be restored by the kernel.
Be sure to shift (long)1 << 33 and higher, not (int)1. Otherwise bad

and the mpo_create_cred() MAC policy entry point to
mpo_copy_cred_label(). This is more consistent with similar entry
points for creation and label copying, as mac_create_cred() was
called from crdup() as opposed to during process creation. For
a number of policies, this removes the requirement for special
handling when copying credential labels, and improves consistency.

forced unmount case. Otherwise, a file system that is referenced
only by process fd_cdir/fd_rdir references to the file system root
vnode will be successfully unmounted without the MNT_FORCE flag.
The previous behaviour was not compatible with the unmount semantics
required by amd(8), so file systems could be unexpectedly unmounted
while there were still references to the file system root directory.

very early (SI_SUB_TUNABLES - 1) and is responsible for setting mp_maxid.
cpu_mp_probe() is now called at SI_SUB_CPU and determines if SMP is
actually present and sets mp_ncpus and all_cpus. Splitting these up
allows an architecture to probe CPUs later than SI_SUB_TUNABLES by just
setting mp_maxid to MAXCPU in cpu_mp_setmaxid(). This could allow the
CPU probing code to live in a module, for example, since modules
sysinit's in modules cannot be invoked prior to SI_SUB_KLD. This is
needed to re-enable the ACPI module on i386.
- For the alpha SMP probing code, use LOCATE_PCS() instead of duplicating
its contents in a few places. Also, add a smp_cpu_enabled() function
to avoid duplicating some code. There is room for further code
reduction later since much of this code is also present in cpu_mp_start().
- All archs besides i386 still set mp_maxid to the same values they set it
to before this change. i386 now sets mp_maxid to MAXCPU.

1) is fixed by using spin locks instead.
2) is fixed by preallocating a FIFO (implemented with a STAILQ)

to be rather fast.

Apologies to: *
the MAC label referenced from 'struct socket' in the IPv4 and
IPv6-based protocols. This permits MAC labels to be checked during
network delivery operations without dereferencing inp->inp_socket
to get to so->so_label, which will eventually avoid our having to
grab the socket lock during delivery at the network layer.
This change introduces 'struct inpcb' as a labeled object to the
MAC Framework, along with the normal circus of entry points:
initialization, creation from socket, destruction, as well as a
delivery access control check.
For most policies, the inpcb label will simply be a cache of the
socket label, so a new protocol switch method is introduced,
pr_sosetlabel() to notify protocols that the socket layer label
has been updated so that the cache can be updated while holding
appropriate locks. Most protocols implement this using
pru_sosetlabel_null(), but IPv4/IPv6 protocols using inpcbs use
the the worker function in_pcbsosetlabel(), which calls into the
MAC Framework to perform a cache update.
Biba, LOMAC, and MLS implement these entry points, as do the stub
policy, and test policy.

The Gigabyte K8NPro (nVidia based) is also mind-numbingly hosed.

This directly violates the ACPI spec.

mac_copy_pipe_label() entry point, intended to copy the socket
label into temporary storage that doesn't require a socket lock
to be held (currently Giant).
- Implement mac_copy_socket_label() for various policies.
- Expose socket label allocation, free, internalize, externalize
entry points as non-static from mac_net.c.
- Use mac_socket_label_set() in __mac_set_fd().
MAC-aware applications may now use mac_get_fd(), mac_set_fd(), and
mac_get_peer() to retrieve and set various socket labels without
directly invoking the getsockopt() interface.
