6429a5cb9b Fix a compiler warning so hash.h can be included in the kernel. This changes
the args for hash32_stre and hash32_strne but there are no consumers in the
base system and openbgpd does not use it which the initial import was for.

f3a8d2f93c Add security.jail.mount_allowed sysctl, which allows to mount and
unmount jail-friendly file systems from within a jail.
Precisely it grants PRIV_VFS_MOUNT, PRIV_VFS_UNMOUNT and
PRIV_VFS_MOUNT_NONUSER privileges for a jailed super-user.
It is turned off by default.

A jail-friendly file system is a file system which driver registers
itself with VFCF_JAIL flag via VFS_SET(9) API.
The lsvfs(1) command can be used to see which file systems are
jail-friendly ones.

There currently no jail-friendly file systems, ZFS will be the first one.
In the future we may consider marking file systems like nullfs as
jail-friendly.

4e7f640dfb Optimize sx locks to use simple atomic operations for the common cases of
obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks.  The algorithms for
manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks.  This patch
also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes.

A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be
specified to alter a given locks behavior.  The flags include SX_DUPOK,
SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature
to the similar flags for mutexes.

Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option.  Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.

The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels.  As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.

The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.

The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
disturbed.

8f27b08e87 Rename the cv_*wait*() functions to _cv_*wait*() and change their second
argument from a mutex to a lock_object.  Add cv_*wait*() wrapper macros
that accept either a mutex, rwlock, or sx lock as the second argument and
convert it to a lock_object and then call _cv_*wait*().  Basically, the
visible difference is that you can now use rwlocks and sx locks with
condition variables using the same API as with mutexes.

0929bf8e57 Add locking.9
This is supposed to be a brief overview of the locking primatives.
It is not yet complete and contains many place-holders for information
I do not know.

The locking is getting so diverse that I've lost track of it all.
We need this page to keep outselves in sync with what the primitives do.

note.. not part of the build yet.

e7573e7ad7 Allow threads to atomically release rw and sx locks while waiting for an
event.  Locking primitives that support this (mtx, rw, and sx) now each
include their own foo_sleep() routine.
- Rename msleep() to _sleep() and change it's 'struct mtx' object to a
  'struct lock_object' pointer.  _sleep() uses the recently added
  lc_unlock() and lc_lock() function pointers for the lock class of the
  specified lock to release the lock while the thread is suspended.
- Add wrappers around _sleep() for mutexes (mtx_sleep()), rw locks
  (rw_sleep()), and sx locks (sx_sleep()).  msleep() still exists and
  is now identical to mtx_sleep(), but it is deprecated.
- Rename SLEEPQ_MSLEEP to SLEEPQ_SLEEP.
- Rewrite much of sleep.9 to not be msleep(9) centric.
- Flesh out the 'RETURN VALUES' section in sleep.9 and add an 'ERRORS'
  section.
- Add __nonnull(1) to _sleep() and msleep_spin() so that the compiler will
  warn if you try to pass a NULL wait channel.  The functions already have
  a KASSERT to that effect.

f499e49c46 Correct descriptions of EINTR and ERESTART errors. Masked signals don't
interrupt sleeps.  Rather, unmasked signals interrupt restarts and can
either interrupt the system call by having it return EINTR in userland or
force the system call to be restarted.

e6b69890ed - Document cv_wait_unlock(9).
- Don't claim that the mutex is atomically reacquired when a cv_wait
  routine returns.  There's nothing atomic or magical about the lock
  reacquire.  The only magic is that we atomically drop the lock by
  placing the thread on the sleep queue before dropping the lock.

cc61ffc3fb - Sort functions in the order that rwlock(9) and mutex(9) use.
- Markup sx_unlock() as a function rather than saying it is a macro.
  The macro part is an implementation detail, and all the other sx_*lock()
  functions are actually macros, too.
- Use the same style as rwlock(9) and mutex(9) to markup sx_assert() and
  SX_SYSINIT() with respect to headers and kernel options.
- Add a missing MLINK.
