thread specific informations.
In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

Eliminate the portion of the string buffer that was dedicated to storing
the interpreter name. The pointer to the interpreter name can simply be
made to point to the appropriate argument string.

shell command are stored in exec*()'s demand-paged string buffer. For
a "buildworld" on an 8GB amd64 multiprocessor, the new order reduces
the number of global TLB shootdowns by 31%. It also eliminates about
330k page faults on the kernel address space.
Change exec_shell_imgact() to use "args->begin_argv" consistently as
the start of the argument and environment strings. Previously, it
would sometimes use "args->buf", which is the start of the overall
buffer, but no longer the start of the argument and environment
strings. While I'm here, eliminate unnecessary passing of "&length"
to copystr(), where we don't actually care about the length of the
copied string.
Clean up the initialization of the exec map. In particular, use the
correct size for an entry, and express that size in the same way that
is used when an entry is allocated. The old size was one page too
large. (This discrepancy originated in 2004 when I rewrote
exec_map_first_page() to use sf_buf_alloc() instead of the exec map
for mapping the first page of the executable.)

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.
I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a
local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.

well-known race condition, which elimination was the reason for the
function appearance in first place. If sigmask supplied as argument to
pselect() enables a signal, the signal might be delivered before thread
called select(2), causing lost wakeup. Reimplement pselect() in kernel,
making change of sigmask and sleep atomic.
Since signal shall be delivered to the usermode, but sigmask restored,
set TDP_OLDMASK and save old mask in td_oldsigmask. The TDP_OLDMASK
should be cleared by ast() in case signal was not gelivered during
syscall execution.

for signal delivery.
Since sigsuspend() shall only return to usermode after a signal was
delivered, do cursig/postsig loop immediately after waiting for
signal, repeating the wait if wakeup was spurious due to race with
other thread fetching signal from the process queue before us. Add
thread_suspend_check() call to allow the thread to be stopped or killed
while in loop.
Modify last argument of kern_sigprocmask() from boolean to flags,
allowing the function to be called with locked proc. Convertion of the
callers that supplied 1 to the old argument will be done in the next
commit, and due to SIGPROCMASK_OLD value equial to 1, code is formally
correct in between.

FreeBSD 8, the compatibility shims should be built not just when FreeBSD 7
compatibility is requested, but also when compatibility with any older
FreeBSD version where that feature was present is requested.o
Without this patch, a kernel config that sets COMPAT_FREEBSD6 but not *7
would fail to build due to inconsistencies between the declaration of the
compatibility shims and their use in the SysV code.
There are similar errors in other *proto.h headers in the tree.
