Attilio Rao 6aba400a70 Fix a deficiency in the selinfo interface:
If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.

That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.

Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
