This should be relatively immune to races caused by the user since the

suggestions from Greg Lehey some time ago. In the face of multiple
potential file formats, try and give a more sensible error than just
ENOEXEC.
XXX a good case can be made that the loading process is wrong - the linker
should locate the file first (using the search paths etc), then run the
loaders to see if they recognize it. While the present system allows for
the possibility of different search paths for different formats, we do not
use it and it just makes things more complicated than they need to be.

The argument about KLD's is bogus, klds can store a file in

circumstances.

shared signal handling when there is shared signal handling being
used.
This removes the main objection to making the shared signal handling
a standard ability in rfork() and friends and 'unconditionalising'
this code. (i.e. the allocation of an extra 328 bytes per process).
Signal handling information remains in the U area until such a time as
it's reference count would be incremented to > 1. At that point a new
struct is malloc'd and maintained in KVM so that it can be shared between
the processes (threads) using it.
A function to check the reference count and move the struct back to the U
area when it drops back to 1 is also supplied. Signal information is
therefore now swapable for all processes that are not sharing that
information with other processes. THis should addres the concerns raised
by Garrett and others.

There's something that's been bugging me for a while, so I decided to fix it.
FreeBSD now will DTRT WRT DDB and DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), at least
in my opinion. The behavior change is such that:
1. Nothing changes when debugger_on_panic != 0.
2. When DDB_UNATTENDED (!debugger_on_panic), if a panic occurs, the
machine will reboot. Also, if a trap occurs, the machine will
panic and reboot, unlike how it broke to DDB before. HOWEVER,
a trap inside DDB will not cause a panic, allowing full use
of DDB without having to worry about the machine being stuck
at a DDB prompt if something goes wrong during the day.
Patches for this behavior follow my signature, and it would
be a boon to anyone (like me) who uses DDB_UNATTENDED, but
actually wants the machine to panic on a trap (otherwise,
what's the use, if the machine causes a fatal trap rather than
a true panic, of debugger_on_panic?). The changes cause no
adverse behavior, but do involve two symbols becoming global

from an interrupt context and fsetown() wants to peek at curproc, call
malloc(..., M_WAITOK), and fiddle with various unprotected data structures.
The fix is to move the code that duplicates the F_SETOWN/FIOSETOWN state
of the original socket to the new socket from sonewconn() to accept1(),
since accept1() runs in the correct context. Deferring this until the
process calls accept() is harmless since the process can't do anything
useful with SIGIO on the new socket until it has the descriptor for that
socket.
One could make the case for not bothering to duplicate the
F_SETOWN/FIOSETOWN state and requiring the process to explicitly make the
fcntl() or ioctl() call on the new socket, but this would be incompatible
with the previous implementation and might break programs which rely on
the old semantics.
This bug was discovered by Andrew Gallatin <gallatin@cs.duke.edu>.
Many (mostly machine-dependent ones) are still missing. NIST-PCTS found
this bug for all the ioctls used to implement the POSIX tc* functions
(TIOCCBRK, TIOCDRAIN, TIOCSPGRP, TIOCSBRK, TIOCSTART and TIOCSTOP), and
I found FIOASYNC, TIOCCONS, TIOCEXCL, TIOCHPCL, TIOCNXCL, TIOCSCTTY and
TIOCSDRAINWAIT by inspection. TIOCSPGRP was ifdefed out for some reason.
Handle tcsetattr()'s historical speed conversions correctly and more
centrally:
- don't store speeds of 0 in the final termios struct. Drivers can now
depend on tp->t_ispeed and tp->t_ospeed giving the actual speed.
Applications can now depend on tcgetattr() being POSIX.1 conformant.
- convert from a proposed input speed of 0 to the proposed output speed
(except if that is 0, convert to the current output speed). Drivers
can now depend on the proposed input speed being nonzero.
- don't reject negative speeds. Negative speeds can't happen now that
speed_t is unsigned, and rejecting invalid speeds is a bug - tcsetattr()
is supposed to succeed if it can "perform any of the requested actions",
so it shouldn't fail in practice.
