Aquire Giant slightly later for vnlru.
In the syncer, aquire the Giant only when a vnode belongs to the
non-MPsafe fs.
In both speedup_syncer() and syncer_shutdown(), remove the syncer thread from
the lbolt sleep queue after the syncer state is modified, not before.

This makes updates mounts such as:
"mount -u -o rdonly" work more like, "mount -u -o ro".
References to "-o rdonly" were changed to "-o ro" in revision 1.60 of
the mount(8) man page,
but some people still like to use "-o rdonly" since it was documented
in earlier versions of FreeBSD.

make the cred reference conditional on it being compiled in, this is not a fix

sending, once the locks are all unlocked to
do the copy's in, its possible that other
events could then raise the number of bytes
outstanding pushing it so not all the message
would fit. This would then cause us to send
only part of the message. This fix makes it
so we keep a "reserved" amount that can be
kept in mind when making calculations to send.
- rcv msg args with a NULL/NULL for to/tolen will return an error incorrectly
for the 1-2-1 model.
- We were not doing 0 len return correctly and not setting cantrcv more
correctly. Previouly we "fixed" this area by taking out the socantrcv
since we then could not get the data out. The correct rix is to still
flag the socket but alow a by-pass route to continue to read until
all data is consumed.

with insufficient protection mode.
For the i386 and amd64, create the tunable, machdep.prot_fault_translation,
with the following behaviour:
0 = autodetect the signal to be delivered on KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE
from vm_fault based on the ELF OSABI note:
no note or __FreeBSD_version < 700004 - SIGBUS/BUS_PAGE_FAULT
note, and __FreeBSD_version >= 700004 - SIGSEGV/SEGV_ACCERR
1 = always SIGBUS/BUS_PAGE_FAULT
2 = always SIGSEGV/SEGV_ACCERR
This would do mostly automatic correction of ABI breakage, with the exception
of the untaged binaries for 7-CURRENT/RELENG_7 before the note is fixed. For
them, sysctl would allow to run the binary with manual settings.

support its -k argument:
kern.proc.kstack - dump the kernel stack of a process, if debugging
is permitted.
This sysctl is present if either "options DDB" or "options STACK" is
compiled into the kernel. Having support for tracing the kernel
stacks of processes from user space makes it much easier to debug
(or understand) specific wmesg's while avoiding the need to enter
DDB in order to determine the path by which a process came to be
blocked on a particular wait channel or lock.
- Introduce per-architecture stack_machdep.c to hold stack_save(9).
- Introduce per-architecture machine/stack.h to capture any common
definitions required between db_trace.c and stack_machdep.c.
- Add new kernel option "options STACK"; we will build in stack(9) if it is
defined, or also if "options DDB" is defined to provide compatibility
with existing users of stack(9).
Add new stack_save_td(9) function, which allows the capture of a stacktrace
of another thread rather than the current thread, which the existing
stack_save(9) was limited to. It requires that the thread be neither
swapped out nor running, which is the responsibility of the consumer to
enforce.
Update stack(9) man page.

We used to allocate the domains 0-14 for userland, and leave the domain 15
for the kernel. Now supersections requires the use of domain 0, so we
switched the kernel domain to 0, and use 1-15 for userland.
How it's done currently, the kernel domain could be allocated for a
userland process.
So switch back to the previous way we did things, set the first available
domain to 0, and just add 1 to get the real domain number in the struct pmap.

1. A packet comes in that is to be forwarded
2. The destination of the packet is rewritten by some firewall code
3. The next link's MTU is too small
4. The packet has the DF bit set
Then the current code is such that instead of setting the next
link's MTU in the ICMP error, ip_next_mtu() is called and a guess
is sent as to which MTU is supposed to be tried next. This is because
in this case ip_forward() is called with srcrt set to 1. In that
case the ia pointer remains NULL but it is needed to get the MTU
of the interface the packet is to be sent out from.
Thus, we always set ia to the outgoing interface.

The RAS implementation would set the end address, then the start
address. These were used by the kernel to restart a RAS sequence if
it was interrupted. When the thread switching code ran, it would
check these values and adjust the PC and clear them if it did.
However, there's a small flaw in this scheme. Thread T1, sets the end
address and gets preempted. Thread T2 runs and also does a RAS
operation. This resets end to zero. Thread T1 now runs again and
sets start and then begins the RAS sequence, but is preempted before
the RAS sequence executes its last instruction. The kernel code that
would ordinarily restart the RAS sequence doesn't because the PC isn't
between start and 0, so the PC isn't set to the start of the sequence.
So when T1 is resumed again, it is at the wrong location for RAS to
produce the correct results. This causes the wrong results for the
atomic sequence.
The window for the first race is 3 instructions. The window for the
second race is 5-10 instructions depending on the atomic operation.
This makes this failure fairly rare and hard to reproduce.
Mutexs are implemented in libthr using atomic operations. When the
above race would occur, a lock could get stuck locked, causing many
downstream problems, as you might expect.
Also, make sure to reset the start and end address when doing a syscall, or
a malicious process could set them before doing a syscall.
