Add missing D_TTY flags to various drivers.
Complete asserts that dev_t's passed to ttyread(), ttywrite(),
ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() have (d_flags & D_TTY) and a struct tty
pointer.
Make ttyread(), ttywrite(), ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() the default
cdevsw methods for D_TTY drivers and remove the explicit initializations
in various drivers cdevsw structures.
- Rename temporary variable names ("tmp", "tmp2") to more informative
names ("load", "pctcpu", "rss", ...)
- Unclutter indentation and return paths: rather than lots of nested
ifs, simply return earlier if it's not going to work out. Simplify
general structure and avoid "deep" code.
- Comment on the thread/process selection and locking.
- Correct handling of "running"/"runnable" states, avoid "unknown"
that people were seeing for running processes. This was due to
a misunderstanding of the more complex state machine / inhibitors
behavior of KSE.
- Do perform ttyinfo() printing on KSE (P_SA) processes, it seems
generally to work.
While I initially attempted to formulate this as two commits (one
layout, the other content), I concluded that the layout changes were
really structural changes.

in slightly less usual states:
If the thread is on a run queue, display "running" if the thread is
actually running, otherwise, "runnable".
If the thread is sleeping, and it's on a sleep queue, display the
name of the queue, otherwise "unknown" -- previously, in this situation
we would display "iowait".
If the thread is waiting on a lock, display *lockname.
If the thread is suspended, display "suspended" -- previously, in
this situation we would display "iowait".
If the thread is waiting for an interrupt, display "intrwait" --
previously, in this situation we would display "iowait".
If the thread is in a state not handled by the above, display
"unknown" -- previously, we would print "iowait".
Among other things, this avoids displaying "iowait" when the foreground
process turns out to be suspended waiting for a debugger to properly
attach.
thread being waken up. The thread waken up can run at a priority as
high as after tsleep().
- Replace selwakeup()s with selwakeuppri()s and pass appropriate
priorities.
- Add cv_broadcastpri() which raises the priority of the broadcast
threads. Used by selwakeuppri() if collision occurs.

TIOCCONS console (e.g. xconsole) via a timeout routine instead of
calling into the tty code directly from printf(). This fixes a
number of cases where calling printf() at the wrong time (such as
with locks held) would cause a panic if xconsole is running.
The TIOCCONS message buffer is 8k in size by default, but this can
be changed with the kern.consmsgbuf_size sysctl. By default, messages
are checked for 5 times per second. The timer runs and the buffer
memory remains allocated only at times when a TIOCCONS console is
active.

- 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.

- signotify() now operates on a thread since unmasked pending signals are
stored in the thread.
- PS_NEEDSIGCHK moves to TDF_NEEDSIGCHK.

name instead. (e.g., SLOCK instead of SMTX, TD_ON_LOCK() instead of
TD_ON_MUTEX()) Eventually a turnstile abstraction will be added that
will be shared with mutexes and other types of locks. SLOCK/TDI_LOCK will
be used internally by the turnstile code and will not be specific to
mutexes. Making the change now ensures that turnstiles can be dropped
in at a later date without affecting the ABI of userland applications.
gets signals operating based on a TailQ, and is good enough to run X11,
GNOME, and do job control. There are some intricate parts which could be
more refined to match the sigset_t versions, but those require further
evaluation of directions in which our signal system can expand and contract
to fit our needs.
After this has been in the tree for a while, I will make in kernel API
changes, most notably to trapsignal(9) and sendsig(9), to use ksiginfo
more robustly, such that we can actually pass information with our
(queued) signals to the userland. That will also result in using a
struct ksiginfo pointer, rather than a signal number, in a lot of
kern_sig.c, to refer to an individual pending signal queue member, but
right now there is no defined behaviour for such.
CODAFS is unfinished in this regard because the logic is unclear in
some places.

be done internally.
Ensure that no one can fsetown() to a dying process/pgrp. We need
to check the process for P_WEXIT to see if it's exiting. Process
groups are already safe because there is no such thing as a pgrp
zombie, therefore the proctree lock completely protects the pgrp
from having sigio structures associated with it after it runs
funsetownlst.
Add sigio lock to witness list under proctree and allproc, but over
proc and pgrp.
Seigo Tanimura helped with this.
Turn the sigio sx into a mutex.
Sigio lock is really only needed to protect interrupts from dereferencing
the sigio pointer in an object when the sigio itself is being destroyed.
In order to do this in the most unintrusive manner change pgsigio's
sigio * argument into a **, that way we can lock internally to the
function.
- Use temporary variables to hold a pointer to a pgrp while we dink with it
while not holding either the associated proc lock or proctree_lock. It
is in theory possible that p->p_pgrp could change out from under us.
general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

Problem:
selwakeup required calling pfind which would cause lock order
reversals with the allproc_lock and the per-process filedesc lock.
Solution:
Instead of recording the pid of the select()'ing process into the
selinfo structure, actually record a pointer to the thread. To
avoid dereferencing a bad address all the selinfo structures that
are in use by a thread are kept in a list hung off the thread
(protected by sellock). When a selwakeup occurs the selinfo is
removed from that threads list, it is also removed on the way out
of select or poll where the thread will traverse its list removing
all the selinfos from its own list.
Problem:
Previously the PROC_LOCK was used to provide the mutual exclusion
needed to ensure proper locking, this couldn't work because there
was a single condvar used for select and poll and condvars can
only be used with a single mutex.
Solution:
Introduce a global mutex 'sellock' which is used to provide mutual
exclusion when recording events to wait on as well as performing
notification when an event occurs.
Interesting note:
schedlock is required to manipulate the per-thread TDF_SELECT
flag, however if given its own field it would not need schedlock,
also because TDF_SELECT is only manipulated under sellock one
doesn't actually use schedlock for syncronization, only to protect
against corruption.
Proc locks are no longer used in select/poll.

New locks are:
- pgrpsess_lock which locks the whole pgrps and sessions,
- pg_mtx which protects the pgrp members, and
- s_mtx which protects the session members.
Please refer to sys/proc.h for the coverage of these locks.
Changes on the pgrp/session interface:
- pgfind() needs the pgrpsess_lock held.
- The caller of enterpgrp() is responsible to allocate a new pgrp and
session.
- Call enterthispgrp() in order to enter an existing pgrp.
- pgsignal() requires a pgrp lock held.
