ddb 'show locks' command. Thus, move witness_list() to the #ifdef DDB
section and remove extra checks for calling this function outside of
DDB. Also, witness_list() now returns void instead of returning an int.

Remove an incorrect comment. (Incrementing an object's reference count
does not prevent a process from exiting. The real concern here is that the

already handled by the VM system and sf_buf_free().)

- On receive, vm_map_lookup() needs to trigger the creation of a shadow
object. To make that happen, call vm_map_lookup() with PROT_WRITE
instead of PROT_READ in vm_pgmoveco().
- On send, a shadow object will be created by the vm_map_lookup() in
vm_fault(), but vm_page_cowfault() will delete the original page from
the backing object rather than simply letting the legacy COW mechanism
take over. In other words, the new page should be added to the shadow
object rather than replacing the old page in the backing object. (i.e.
vm_page_cowfault() should not be called in this case.) We accomplish
this by making sure fs.object == fs.first_object before calling
vm_page_cowfault() in vm_fault().

witness. Sleepable locks such as sx locks always come before all mutexes
including Giant. However, the static lock order list placed Giant before
the proctree and allproc sx locks. This resulted in witness creating a
cycle in its lock order "tree" (real trees don't have cycles) leading to
infinite recursion and eventually a double fault. To fix, put Giant after
sx locks in the lock order list.

modules to control access to these interfaces. Currently, they
protect access to IOPL on i386, and setting HAE on Alpha.
Additional checks might be required on other platforms to prevent
bypass of kernel security protections by unauthorized processes.

check properly initialized. This didn't affect any current MAC
modules since they didn't care what the flags argument was (as
they were primarily interested in the fact that it was a meta-data
write, not the contents of the write), but would be relevant to
future modules relying on that field.

- Use gbincore() and not incore() so that we can drop the vnode interlock
as we acquire the buflock.
- Use GB_LOCK_NOWAIT when getting bufs for read ahead clusters so that we
don't block on locked bufs.
- Convert a while loop to a howmany() that will most likely be faster on
modern processors. There is another while loop divide that was left
near by because it is operating on a 64bit int and is most likely faster.
- Cleanup the cluster_read() code a little to get rid of a goto and make
the logic clearer.

- Add a comment about special lock order rules and Giant near the top of
subr_witness.c. Specifically, this documents and explains the real lock
order relationship between Giant and sleepable locks (i.e. lockmgr locks
and sx locks). Basically, Giant can be safely acquired either before or
after sleepable locks and the case of Giant before a sleepable lock is
exempted as a special case.
- Add a new static function 'witness_list_lock()' that displays a single
line of information about a struct lock_instance. This is used to
make the output of witness messages more consistent and reduce some code
duplication.
- Fixup a few comments in witness_lock().
- Properly handle the Giant-before-sleepable-lock lock order exception in
a more general fashion and remove the no longer needed LI_SLEPT flag.
- Break up the last condition before assuming a reversal a bit to try
and make the logic less confusing in witness_lock().
- Axe WITNESS_SLEEP() now that LI_SLEPT is no longer needed and replace it
with a more general WITNESS_WARN() macro/function combination.
WITNESS_WARN() allows you to output a customized message out to the
console along with a list of held locks. It will optionally drop into
the debugger as well. You can exempt a single lock from the check by
passing it in as the second argument. You can also use flags to specify
if Giant should be exempt from the check, if all sleepable locks should
be exempt from the check, and if witness should panic if any non-exempt
locks are found.
- Make the witness_list() function static. Other areas of the kernel
should use the new WITNESS_WARN() instead.
- Declare some local variables at the top of the function instead of in a
nested block.
- Use mtx_owned() instead of masking off bits from mtx_lock manually.
- Read the value of mtx_lock into 'v' as a separate line rather than inside
an if statement for clarity. This code is hairy enough as it is.
