these syscalls are designed to set thread's scheduling parameters and

install custom pager functions didn't actually happen in practice (they
all just used the simple pager and passed in a local quit pointer). So,
just hardcode the simple pager as the only pager and make it set a global
db_pager_quit flag that db commands can check when the user hits 'q' (or a
suitable variant) at the pager prompt. Also, now that it's easy to do so,
enable paging by default for all ddb commands. Any command that wishes to
honor the quit flag can do so by checking db_pager_quit. Note that the
pager can also be effectively disabled by setting $lines to 0.
Other fixes:
- 'show idt' on i386 and pc98 now actually checks the quit flag and
terminates early.
- 'show intr' now actually checks the quit flag and terminates early.

callers can only set td->td_retval[0] if all the various copyout's succeed.
As a result of these changes, kern_semctl() no longer does copyin/copyout
(except for GETALL/SETALL) so simplify the locking to acquire the semakptr
mutex before the MAC check and hold it all the way until the end of the
big switch statement. The GETALL/SETALL cases have to temporarily drop it
while they do copyin/malloc and copyout. Also, simplify the SETALL case to

Both methods use the same control message type SCM_CREDS with the

I picked it up again. The scheduler is forked from ULE, but the
algorithm to detect an interactive process is almost completely
different with ULE, it comes from Linux paper "Understanding the
Linux 2.6.8.1 CPU Scheduler", although I still use same word
"score" as a priority boost in ULE scheduler.
Briefly, the scheduler has following characteristic:
1. Timesharing process's nice value is seriously respected,
timeslice and interaction detecting algorithm are based
on nice value.
2. per-cpu scheduling queue and load balancing.
3. O(1) scheduling.
4. Some cpu affinity code in wakeup path.
5. Support POSIX SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
Unlike scheduler 4BSD and ULE which using fuzzy RQ_PPQ, the scheduler
uses 256 priority queues. Unlike ULE which using pull and push, the
scheduelr uses pull method, the main reason is to let relative idle
cpu do the work, but current the whole scheduler is protected by the
big sched_lock, so the benefit is not visible, it really can be worse
than nothing because all other cpu are locked out when we are doing
balancing work, which the 4BSD scheduelr does not have this problem.
The scheduler does not support hyperthreading very well, in fact,
the scheduler does not make the difference between physical CPU and
logical CPU, this should be improved in feature. The scheduler has
priority inversion problem on MP machine, it is not good for
realtime scheduling, it can cause realtime process starving.

potential expensive socket refcount drop, which can lead to

effect of further reducing the number of cases where an in-progress

* Remove not-NULL check for the data argument from the mount(2) entry

filesystem being mounted to verify data. Or, in the case of procfs,
