and assignment.
- Add a reference to a struct cpuset in each thread that is inherited from
the thread that created it.
- Release the reference when the thread is destroyed.
- Add prototypes for syscalls and macros for manipulating cpusets in
sys/cpuset.h
- Add syscalls to create, get, and set new numbered cpusets:
cpuset(), cpuset_{get,set}id()
- Add syscalls for getting and setting affinity masks for cpusets or
individual threads: cpuid_{get,set}affinity()
- Add types for the 'level' and 'which' parameters for the cpuset. This
will permit expansion of the api to cover cpu masks for other objects
identifiable with an id_t integer. For example, IRQs and Jails may be
coming soon.
- The root set 0 contains all valid cpus. All thread initially belong to
cpuset 1. This permits migrating all threads off of certain cpus to
reserve them for special applications.

implement shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) in the kernel:
- Each shared memory file descriptor is associated with a swap-backed vm
object which provides the backing store. Each descriptor starts off with
a size of zero, but the size can be altered via ftruncate(2). The shared
memory file descriptors also support fstat(2). read(2), write(2),
ioctl(2), select(2), poll(2), and kevent(2) are not supported on shared
memory file descriptors.
- shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) are now implemented as system calls that
manage shared memory file descriptors. The virtual namespace that maps
pathnames to shared memory file descriptors is implemented as a hash
table where the hash key is generated via the 32-bit Fowler/Noll/Vo hash
of the pathname.
- As an extension, the constant 'SHM_ANON' may be specified in place of the
path argument to shm_open(2). In this case, an unnamed shared memory
file descriptor will be created similar to the IPC_PRIVATE key for
shmget(2). Note that the shared memory object can still be shared among
processes by sharing the file descriptor via fork(2) or sendmsg(2), but
it is unnamed. This effectively serves to implement the getmemfd() idea
bandied about the lists several times over the years.
- The backing store for shared memory file descriptors are garbage
collected when they are not referenced by any open file descriptors or
the shm_open(2) virtual namespace.

I wonder if an inode reference should be stored with the pathname
to allow a validity check?

for kldstat(2).
This allows libdtrace to determine the exact file from which
a kernel module was loaded without having to guess.
The kldstat(2) API is versioned with the size of the
kld_file_stat structure, so this change creates version 2.
Add the pathname to the verbose output of kldstat(8) too.

result to select the appropriate syscall. This maintains userland

will have the .c wrappers still. If you define WITHOUT_SYSCALL_COMPAT,
the .c wrappers will go away and libc will make direct syscalls.
After 7-stable starts, the direct syscall method will be default.
