on a process's pending signals, use the signal queue flattener,
ksiginfo_to_sigset_t, on the process, and on a local sigset_t, and then work
with that as needed.
gets signals operating based on a TailQ, and is good enough to run X11,
GNOME, and do job control. There are some intricate parts which could be
more refined to match the sigset_t versions, but those require further
evaluation of directions in which our signal system can expand and contract
to fit our needs.
After this has been in the tree for a while, I will make in kernel API
changes, most notably to trapsignal(9) and sendsig(9), to use ksiginfo
more robustly, such that we can actually pass information with our
(queued) signals to the userland. That will also result in using a
struct ksiginfo pointer, rather than a signal number, in a lot of
kern_sig.c, to refer to an individual pending signal queue member, but
right now there is no defined behaviour for such.
CODAFS is unfinished in this regard because the logic is unclear in
some places.

that a particular device driver is not Giant-challenged.
SPECFS will DROP_GIANT() ... PICKUP_GIANT() around calls to the
driver in question.
Notice that the interrupt path is not affected by this!
This does _NOT_ work for drivers accessed through cdevsw->d_strategy()
ie drivers for disk(-like), some tapes, maybe others.

This makes it trivial to map the stack non-executable for certain abis, on

wasn't doing. Rather than just lock and unlock the vnode around the call
to VOP_FSYNC(), implement rwatson's suggestion to lock the file vnode
in kern_link() before calling VOP_LINK(), since the other filesystems
also locked the file vnode right away in their link methods. Remove the
locking and and unlocking from the leaf filesystem link methods.

v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.
Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

accept an 'active_cred' argument reflecting the credential of the thread
initiating the ioctl operation.
- Change fo_ioctl() to accept active_cred; change consumers of the
fo_ioctl() interface to generally pass active_cred from td->td_ucred.
- In fifofs, initialize filetmp.f_cred to ap->a_cred so that the
invocations of soo_ioctl() are provided access to the calling f_cred.
Pass ap->a_td->td_ucred as the active_cred, but note that this is
required because we don't yet distinguish file_cred and active_cred
in invoking VOP's.
- Update kqueue_ioctl() for its new argument.
- Update pipe_ioctl() for its new argument, pass active_cred rather
than td_ucred to MAC for authorization.
- Update soo_ioctl() for its new argument.
- Update vn_ioctl() for its new argument, use active_cred rather than
td->td_ucred to authorize VOP_IOCTL() and the associated VOP_GETATTR().
