run queue for each cpu.
- Introduce kse stealing into the sched_choose() code. This helps balance
cpus better in cases where process turnover is high. This implementation
is fairly trivial and will likely be only a temporary measure until
something more sophisticated has been written.
data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.
A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.
Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.
Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.
KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.
When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.
The code hasn't been tested under SMP by author due to lack of hardware.

potential discontinuities in our UTC timescale.
Applications can monitor this variable if they want to be informed
about steps in the timescale. Slews (ntp and adjtime(2)) and
frequency adjustments (ntp) will not increment this counter, only
operations which set the clock. No attempt is made to classify
size or direction of the step.
correctly against PF_LOCAL. It seems that the test always fails then
sockaddr was not filled. So, I added else clause for workaround.
I doubt if it is right fix. However, it is better than nothing. I
found that NetBSD has same potential problem. But, fortunately,
NetBSD has equivalent else clause.

1. eliminate unnecessary loop which frees and re-allocates
the just allocated array
2. eliminate the newsize recomputation
3. eliminate unnecessary unlock and relock around free
4. correctly match the free with the malloc into M_KQUEUE instead of M_TEMP
5. eliminate conditional assignment of oldlist, which is equivalent to a
simple assignment
6. eliminate the oldlist temporary variable completely

metadata. This fixes module dependency resolution by the kernel linker on
sparc64, where the relocations for the metadata are different than on other
architectures; the relative offset is in the addend of an Elf_Rela record
instead of the original value of the location being patched.
Also fix printf formats in debug code.

Now that we approach making DEVFS standard, replace these tests

A straight #ifdef'ing would look quite messy, and make the file
quite unreadable, so instead I have simply added the DEVFS version
of the file at the top, protected by #ifndef NODEVFS.
Once we have removed NODEVFS option, we can retain 86 the 86 lines at
the top and drop the other 287 lines.

listen() on connected or connecting sockets would cause them to enter
a bad state; in the TCP case, this could cause sockets to go
catatonic or panics, depending on how the socket was connected.

of a process and call it in vmspace_dofree(). This way if it is missed
in exit1()'s early-resource-free it will still be caught when the zombie is
reaped.
Also fix a potential race in shmexit_myhook() by NULLing out
vmspace->vm_shm prior to calling shm_delete_mapping() and free().
