- Threads lifetime cycle, in particular, counting of the threads in
the process, and interlocking with process mutex and thread lock.
The main reason of this is that turnstile locks are after thread
locks, so you e.g. cannot unlock blockable mutex (think process
mutex) while owning thread lock.
- Virtual and profiling itimers, since the timers activation is done
from the clock interrupt context. Replace the p_slock by p_itimmtx
and PROC_ITIMLOCK().
- Profiling code (profil(2)), for similar reason. Replace the p_slock
by p_profmtx and PROC_PROFLOCK().
- Resource usage accounting. Need for the spinlock there is subtle,
my understanding is that spinlock blocks context switching for the
current thread, which prevents td_runtime and similar fields from
changing (updates are done at the mi_switch()). Replace the p_slock
by p_statmtx and PROC_STATLOCK().
The split is done mostly for code clarity, and should not affect
scalability.

- Dump an NT_X86_XSTATE note if XSAVE is in use. This note is designed
to match what Linux does in that 1) it dumps the entire XSAVE area
including the fxsave state, and 2) it stashes a copy of the current
xsave mask in the unused padding between the fxsave state and the
xstate header at the same location used by Linux.
- Teach readelf() to recognize NT_X86_XSTATE notes.
- Change PT_GET/SETXSTATE to take the entire XSAVE state instead of
only the extra portion. This avoids having to always make two
ptrace() calls to get or set the full XSAVE state.
- Add a PT_GET_XSTATE_INFO which returns the length of the current

and the current XSAVE mask (%xcr0).

The kernel tracks syscall users so that modules can safely unregister them.
But if the module is not unloadable or was compiled into the kernel, there is
no need to do this.
Achieve this by adding SY_THR_STATIC_KLD macro which expands to SY_THR_STATIC

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Make it really work for native FreeBSD programs. Before this it was broken

flag has been added instead of FUTEX_WAIT to replace the FUTEX_WAIT
logic which needs to do gettimeofday() calls before the futex syscall
to convert the absolute timeout to a relative timeout.
Before this the CLOCK_MONOTONIC used by the FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET op.
When the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is specified the timeout is an absolute
time, not a relative time. Rework futex_wait to handle this.
On the side fix the futex leak in error case and remove useless
parentheses.

call to freebsd32_convert_msg_in() with freebsd32_copyin_control() to
readin and convert in a single step. This makes it simpler to put all
the control messages in a single mbuf or mbuf cluster as per the
limitations imposed upon us by ip6_setpktopts().
The logic is as follows:
1. Go over the array of control messages to determine overall size
and include extra padding for proper alignment as we go.
2. Get a mbuf or mbuf cluster as needed or fail if the overall
(adjusted) size is larger than a cluster.
3. Go over the array of control messages again, but now copy them
into kernel space and into aligned offsets.
4. Update the length of the control message to take padding between
the header and the data into account (but not for padding added
between one control message and the next).

This fires off a kqueue note (of type sendfile) to the configured kqfd
when the sendfile transaction has completed and the relevant memory
backing the transaction is no longer in use by this transaction.
This is analogous to SF_SYNC waiting for the mbufs to complete -
except now you don't have to wait.
Both SF_SYNC and SF_KQUEUE should work together, even if it
doesn't necessarily make any practical sense.
This is designed for use by applications which use backing cache/store
files (eg Varnish) or POSIX shared memory (not sure anything is using
it yet!) to know when a region of memory is free for re-use. Note
it doesn't mark the region as free overall - only free from this
transaction. The application developer still needs to track which
ranges are in the process of being recycled and wait until all
pending transactions are completed.

for extending and reusing it.
The sendfile_sync wrapper is mostly just a "mbuf transaction" wrapper,
used to indicate that the backing store for a group of mbufs has completed.
It's only being used by sendfile for now and it's only implementing a
sleep/wakeup rendezvous. However, there are other potential signaling
paths (kqueue) and other potential uses (socket zero-copy write) where the
same mechanism would also be useful.
So, with that in mind:
* extract the sendfile_sync code out into sf_sync_*() methods
* teach the sf_sync_alloc method about the current config flag -
it will eventually know about kqueue.
* move the sendfile_sync code out of do_sendfile() - the only thing
it now knows about is the sfs pointer. The guts of the sync
rendezvous (setup, rendezvous/wait, free) is now done in the
syscall wrapper.
* .. and teach the 32-bit compat sendfile call the same.
This should be a no-op. It's primarily preparation work for teaching
the sendfile_sync about kqueue notification.
