by the second argument to be locked. We now use the thread ucred reference
for the credential checks in p_can*() as a result. p_canfoo() should now
no longer need Giant.
make sure it's a correct operation for devfs, do it only in the
ISLASTCN case. If we don't, we are assuming that the final file will
be in devfs, which is not true if another partition is mounted on top
of devfs or with special filenames (like /dev/net/../../foo).

the block to read and copy out. This removes the hack in
udf_readatoffset() for only reading one block at a time. WooHoo!
Remove a redundant test for fragmented fids in both udf_readdir()
and udf_lookup(). Add comment to both as to why the test is
written the way it is. Add a few more safety checks for brelse().
Thanks to Timothy Shimmin <tes@boing.melbourne.sgi.com> for pointing
out these problems.

move the declaration of sigio_lock and the definitions of SIGIO_*() to

of a process pointer.
- Move the p_candebug() at the start of procfs_control() a bit to make
locking feasible. We still perform the access check before doing
anything, we just now perform it after acquiring locks.
- Don't lock the sched_lock for TRACE_WAIT_P() and when checking to see if
p_stat is SSTOP. We lock the process while setting p_stat to SSTOP
so locking the process is sufficient to do a read to see if p_stat is
SSTOP or not.
Setting of timestamps on devices had no effect visible to userland
because timestamps for devices were set in places that are never used.
This broke:
- update of file change time after a change of an attribute
- setting of file access and modification times.
The VA_UTIMES_NULL case did not work. Revs 1.31-1.32 were supposed to
fix this by copying correct bits from ufs, but had little or no effect
because the old checks were not removed.
files. We didn't clear the update marks when we set the times, so
some of the settings were sometimes clobbered with the current time a
little later. This caused cp -p even by root to almost always fail
to preserve any times despite not reporting any errors in attempting
to preserve them.
Don't forget to set the archive attribute when we set the read-only
attribute. We should only set the archive attribute if we actually
change something, but we mostly don't bother avoiding setting it
elsewhere, so don't bother here yet.

most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

they aren't in the usual path of execution for syscalls and traps.
The main complication for this is that we have to set flags to control
ast() everywhere that changes the signal mask.
Avoid locking in userret() in most of the remaining cases.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

provided the latter is nonzero. At this point, the former is a fairly
arbitrary default value (DFTPHYS), so changing it to any reasonable
value specified by the device driver is safe. Using the maximum of
these limits broke ffs clustered i/o for devices whose si_iosize_max
is < DFLTPHYS. Using the minimum would break device drivers' ability
to increase the active limit from DFTLPHYS up to MAXPHYS.
Copied the code for this and the associated (unnecessary?) fixup of
mp_iosize_max to all other filesystems that use clustering (ext2fs and
msdosfs). It was completely missing.
