caught this if semaphores were used more often in the kernel.

connection is to be established asynchronously, behave as in the
case of non-blocking mode:
- keep the SS_ISCONNECTING bit set thus indicating that
the connection establishment is in progress, which is the case
(clearing the bit in this case was just a bug);
- return EALREADY, instead of the confusing and unreasonable
EADDRINUSE, upon further connect(2) attempts on this socket
until the connection is established (this also brings our
connect(2) into accord with IEEE Std 1003.1.)
than i386 or AMD64, TP register points to thread mailbox, and they can not
atomically clear km_curthread in kse mailbox, in this case, thread retrieves
its thread pointer from TP register and sets flag TMF_NOUPCALL in its thread
mailbox to indicate a critical region.
use vrele() instead of vput() on the parent directory vnode returned
by namei() in the case where it is equal to the target vnode. This
handles namei()'s somewhat strange (but documented) behaviour of
not locking either vnode when the two vnodes are equal and LOCKPARENT
but not LOCKLEAF is specified.
Note that since a vnode double-unlock is not currently fatal, these
coding errors were effectively harmless.

malloc and mbuf allocation all not requiring Giant.
1) ostat, fstat and nfstat don't need Giant until they call fo_stat.
2) accept can copyin the address length without grabbing Giant.
3) sendit doesn't need Giant, so don't bother grabbing it until kern_sendit.
4) move Giant grabbing from each indivitual recv* syscall to recvit.
support routines in kern_acl.c:
- Define ACL_OVERRIDE_MASK and ACL_PRESERVE_MASK centrally in acl.h: the
mode bits that are (and aren't) stored in the ACL.
- Add acl_posix1e_acl_to_mode(): given a POSIX.1e extended ACL, generate
a compatibility mode (only the bits supported by the POSIX.1e ACL).
- acl_posix1e_newfilemode(): Given a requested creation mode and default
ACL, calculate the mode for the new file system object (only the bits
supported by the POSIX.1e ACL).

another thread. We use the td_oncpu member of the other field to locate
it's associated CPU and then search the that CPU's list of spin locks
contained in its per-CPU data. This is not always safe and may in fact
panic or just not work, but it is useful in at least one case.
on a non-blocking pipe in cases where select(2) returns the file
descriptor as ready for write. This in turns causes libc_r, for
one, to busy wait in such cases.
Note: it is a quick performance fix, a more complex fix might be
required in case this turns out to have unexpected side effects.

a long-standing mistake in the way a portion of a pipe's KVA is
allocated. Specifically, kmem_alloc_pageable() is inappropriate
for use in the "direct" case because it allows a preceding vm map entry
and vm object to be extended to support the new KVA allocation.
However, the direct case KVA allocation should not have a backing
vm object. This is corrected by using kmem_alloc_nofault().

Break out UFS2 and FFS extattr delete and list vnode operations from
setextattr and getextattr to deleteextattr and listextattr, which
cleans up the implementations, and makes the results more readable,
and makes the APIs more clear.

kern.file sysctl, don't return information about processes that
fail p_cansee(td, p). This prevents sockstat and related
programs from seeing file descriptors owned by processes not
in the same jail as the thread, as well as having implications
for MAC, etc.
This is a partial solution: it permits an information leak about
the number of descriptors in the sizing calculation (but this is
not new information, you can also get it from kern.openfiles),
and doesn't attempt to mask file descriptors based on the
properties of the descriptor, only the process referencing it.
However, it provides most of what you want under most
circumstances, without complicating the locking.

contain the filedescriptor number on opens from userland.
The index is used rather than a "struct file *" since it conveys a bit
more information, which may be useful to in particular fdescfs and /dev/fd/*
For now pass -1 all over the place.
