currently a spin lock. Apparently, the only reason for this is that
umtx_thread_exit() is called under the process spinlock, which put the
requirement on the umtx_lock. Note that the witness static order list
is wrong for the umtx_lock, umtx_lock is explicitely before any thread
lock, so it is also before sleepq locks.
Change umtx_lock to be the sleepable mutex. For the reason above, the
calls to umtx_thread_exit() are moved from thread_exit() earlier in
each caller, when the process spin lock is not yet taken.

This can happen if a signal or timeout removed the last waiter from
the queue, but there is still a thread in do_lock_pi() holding a reference
on the umtx_pi. The unlocking thread might not own the umtx_pi in this case,
but if it does, it must disown it to keep the ownership consistent between
the umtx_pi and the umutex.

in a separate word from the _count. This does not permit both items to
be updated atomically in a portable manner. As a result, sem_post()
must always perform a system call to safely clear _has_waiters.
This change removes the _has_waiters field and instead uses the high bit
of _count as the _has_waiters flag. A new umtx object type (_usem2) and
two new umtx operations are added (SEM_WAIT2 and SEM_WAKE2) to implement
these semantics. The older operations are still supported under the
COMPAT_FREEBSD9/10 options. The POSIX semaphore API in libc has
been updated to use the new implementation. Note that the new
implementation is not compatible with the previous implementation.
However, this only affects static binaries (which cannot be helped by
symbol versioning). Binaries using a dynamic libc will continue to work
fine. SEM_MAGIC has been bumped so that mismatched binaries will error
rather than corrupting a shared semaphore. In addition, a padding field
has been added to sem_t so that it remains the same size.

- When looping, check for the pending suspension. Otherwise, other
usermode thread which races with the looping one, could try to
prevent the process from stopping or exiting.
- Add missed checks for the faults from casuword*(). The code is
structured in a way which makes the loops exit if the specified
address is invalid, since both fuword() and casuword() return -1 on
the fault. But if the address is mapped readonly, the typical value
read by fuword() is different from -1, while casuword() returns -1.
Absent the checks for casuword() faults, this is interpreted as the
race with other thread and causes non-interruptible spinning in the
kernel.

Programs often do not expect an [EINTR] return from sem_wait() and POSIX
only allows it if the signal was installed without SA_RESTART. The timeout
in sem_timedwait() is absolute so it can be restarted normally.
The umtx call can be invoked with a relative timeout and in that case
[ERESTART] must be changed to [EINTR]. However, libc does not do this.
The old POSIX semaphore implementation did this correctly (before r249566),
unlike the new umtx one.
It may be desirable to avoid [EINTR] completely, which matches the pthread
functions and is explicitly permitted by POSIX. However, the kernel must
return [EINTR] at least for signals with SA_RESTART clear, otherwise pthread
cancellation will not abort a semaphore wait. In this commit, only restore
the 8.x behaviour which is also permitted by POSIX.

UMTX_PROFILING should really analyze the distribution of locks as they
index entries in the umtxq_chains hash-table.
However, the current implementation does add/dec the length counters
for *every* thread insert/removal, measuring at all really userland
contention and not the hash distribution.
Fix this by correctly add/dec the length counters in the points where
it is really needed.
Please note that this bug brought us questioning in the past the quality
of the umtx hash table distribution.
To date with all the benchmarks I could try I was not able to reproduce
any issue about the hash distribution on umtx.

application destroys semaphore after sem_wait returns. Just enter
kernel to wake up sleeping threads, only update _has_waiters if
it is safe. While here, check if the value exceed SEM_VALUE_MAX and
return EOVERFLOW if this is true.
a mutex after a thread has unlocked it, it event writes data to the mutex
memory to clear contention bit, there is a race that other threads
can lock it and unlock it, then destroy it, so it should not write
data to the mutex memory if there isn't any waiter.
The new operation UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE2 try to fix the problem. It
requires thread library to clear the lock word entirely, then
call the WAKE2 operation to check if there is any waiter in kernel,
and try to wake up a thread, if necessary, the contention bit is set again
by the operation. This also mitgates the chance that other threads find
the contention bit and try to enter kernel to compete with each other
to wake up sleeping thread, this is unnecessary. With this change, the
mutex owner is no longer holding the mutex until it reaches a point
where kernel umtx queue is locked, it releases the mutex as soon as
possible.
Performance is improved when the mutex is contensted heavily. On Intel
i3-2310M, the runtime of a benchmark program is reduced from 26.87 seconds
to 2.39 seconds, it even is better than UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE which is
deprecated now. http://people.freebsd.org/~davidxu/bench/mutex_perf.c
according to POSIX document, the clock ID may be dynamically allocated,
it unlikely will be in 64K forever. To make it future compatible, we
pack all timeout information into a new structure called _umtx_time, and
use fourth argument as a size indication, a zero means it is old code
using timespec as timeout value, but the new structure also includes flags
and a clock ID, so the size argument is different than before, and it is
non-zero. With this change, it is possible that a thread can sleep
on any supported clock, though current kernel code does not have such a
POSIX clock driver system.
UMTX_OP_WAIT. Upper 16bits is enough to hold a clock id, and lower
16bits is used to pass flags. The change saves a clock_gettime() syscall
from libthr.
The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.

calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel
entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also
fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function
psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future
MFCs that change syscalls.
