o Add a mutex (sb_mtx) to struct sockbuf. This protects the data in a
socket buffer. The mutex in the receive buffer also protects the data
in struct socket.
o Determine the lock strategy for each members in struct socket.
o Lock down the following members:
- so_count
- so_options
- so_linger
- so_state
o Remove *_locked() socket APIs. Make the following socket APIs
touching the members above now require a locked socket:

yields incorrect behaviour. The hardwiring was present in the very
first commit that implemented msgrcv() (revision 1.4) and hasn't been
changed since. The native implementation was complete at that time,
so there doesn't seem to be a reason for the hardwiring from a
technical point of view.

VOP_OPEN() and doing lots of manual checking. This would further
centralize use of the name functions, and once the MAC code is integrated,
meaning few extraneous MAC checks scattered all over the place. I don't
have time to fix this now, but want to make sure it doesn't get
forgotten. Anyone interested in fixing this should feel free.

- Change sysctl_out_proc() to require that the process is locked when it
is called and to drop the lock before it returns. If this proves too
complex we can change sysctl_out_proc() to simply acquire the lock at
the very end and have the calling code drop the lock right after it
returns.
- Lock the process we are going to export before the p_cansee() in the
loop in sysctl_kern_proc() and hold the lock until we call
sysctl_out_proc().
- Don't call p_cansee() on the process about to be exported twice in
the aforementioned loop.
they aren't in the usual path of execution for syscalls and traps.
The main complication for this is that we have to set flags to control
ast() everywhere that changes the signal mask.
Avoid locking in userret() in most of the remaining cases.

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.

There is still some locations where the PROC lock should be held
in order to prevent inconsistent views from outside (like the
proc->p_fd fix for kern/vfs_syscalls.c:checkdirs()) that can be
fixed later.

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.

this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main
thread of a process via the linked list of threads rather than
assuming that it is embedded in the process. It IS still embeded there
but remove all teh code that assumes that in preparation for the next commit
which will actually move it out.

interfaces we encounter. In Linux, all addresses are returned for
which gifconf handlers are installed. This boils down to AF_DECnet
and AF_INET. We care mostly about AF_INET for now. Adding additional
families is simple enough.
Returning the addresses is important for RPC clients to function
properly. Andrew found in some reference code that the logic that
handles the retransmission looks for an interface that's up and has
an AF_INET address. This obviously failed as we didn't return any
addresses at all.
Note also that with this change we don't return interfaces that don't
have AF_INET addresses, whereas before we returned any interface
present in the system. This is in line with what Linux does (modulo
interfaces with only AF_DECnet addresses of course :-)
