create kernel threads and call rfork(2) with RFTHREAD flag set in this case,
which puts parent and child into the same threading group. As a result
all threads that belong to the same program end up in the same threading
group.
This is similar to what linuxthreads port does, though in this case we don't
have a luxury of having access to the source code and there is no definite
way to differentiate linux_clone() called for threading purposes from other
uses, so that we have to resort to heuristics.
Allow SIGTHR to be delivered between all processes in the same threading
group previously it has been blocked for s[ug]id processes.
This also should improve locking of the same file descriptor from different
threads in programs running under linux compat layer.

1. Process p1 is currently being swapped in.
2. Process p2 calls linux_ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, p1_pid, ...)
3. After acquiring a reference to FIRST_THREAD_IN_PROC(p1),
p2 blocks in faultin() while p1 finishes being swapped in.
This means p2 won't get back the lock on p1 until after p1's
threads are runnable.
4. After p1 is swapped in, the first thread in p1 exits.
5. p2 now uses its dangling reference to p1's first thread.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
- The p_rlimit macro no longer exists.

is useless for threaded programs, multiple threads can not share same
stack.
The alternative signal stack is private for thread, no lock is needed,
the orignal P_ALTSTACK is now moved into td_pflags and renamed to
TDP_ALTSTACK.
For single thread or Linux clone() based threaded program, there is no
semantic changed, because those programs only have one kernel thread
in every process.

Move the 5 or so identical instances of ELF_RTLD_ADDR() into imgact_elf.c.
Supply an ia32_fixlimits function. Export the clip/default values to
sysctl under the compat.ia32 heirarchy.
Have mmap(0, ...) respect the current p->p_limits[RLIMIT_DATA].rlim_max
value rather than the sysctl tweakable variable. This allows mmap to
place mappings at sensible locations when limits have been reduced.
Have the imgact_elf.c ld-elf.so.1 placement algorithm use the same
method as mmap(0, ...) now does.
Note that we cannot remove all references to the sysctl tweakable
maxdsiz etc variables because /etc/login.conf specifies a datasize
of 'unlimited'. And that causes exec etc to fail since it can no
longer find space to mmap things.
- Move struct sigacts out of the u-area and malloc() it using the
M_SUBPROC malloc bucket.
- Add a small sigacts_*() API for managing sigacts structures: sigacts_alloc(),
sigacts_free(), sigacts_copy(), sigacts_share(), and sigacts_shared().
- Remove the p_sigignore, p_sigacts, and p_sigcatch macros.
- Add a mutex to struct sigacts that protects all the members of the struct.
- Add sigacts locking.
- Remove Giant from nosys(), kill(), killpg(), and kern_sigaction() now
that sigacts is locked.
- Several in-kernel functions such as psignal(), tdsignal(), trapsignal(),
and thread_stopped() are now MP safe.
