kthread_add() takes the same parameters as the old kthread_create()
plus a pointer to a process structure, and adds a kernel thread
to that process.
kproc_kthread_add() takes the parameters for kthread_add,
plus a process name and a pointer to a pointer to a process instead of just
a pointer, and if the proc * is NULL, it creates the process to the
specifications required, before adding the thread to it.
All other old kthread_xxx() calls return, but act on (struct thread *)

any old kernel modules that are lying around and expect kthread_create()

This change introduces audit_proc_coredump() which is called by coredump(9)
to create an audit record for the coredump event. When a process
dumps a core, it could be security relevant. It could be an indicator that
a stack within the process has been overflowed with an incorrectly constructed
malicious payload or a number of other events.
The record that is generated looks like this:
header,111,10,process dumped core,0,Thu Oct 25 19:36:29 2007, + 179 msec
argument,0,0xb,signal
path,/usr/home/csjp/test.core
subject,csjp,csjp,staff,csjp,staff,1101,1095,50457,10.37.129.2
return,success,1
trailer,111
- We allocate a completely new record to make sure we arent clobbering
the audit data associated with the syscall that produced the core
(assuming the core is being generated in response to SIGABRT and not
an invalid memory access).
- Shuffle around expand_name() so we can use the coredump name at the very
beginning of the coredump call. Make sure we free the storage referenced
by "name" if we need to bail out early.
- Audit both successful and failed coredump creation efforts

After discussions with jeff, alc, (various Ironport people), david Xu,
and mostly Alfred (who found the problem) it has been demonstrated that this
is not needed for our implementations of threads and represents a real
(as in we've seen it happen a lot) deadlock danger.
Several points:
Since forking multiple threads is not allowed, and posix states that
any mutexes owned by othre threads wilol be owned in the child by
phantom threads, and therads shouldn't ba accessing shared structures without
protection, It can be proved that if this leads to the child process accessing
inconsistent data, it's a programming error.
The mode of thread_single() being used in fork() is the wrong one.
It is using SINGLE_NO_EXIT when it should be using SINGLE_BOUNDARY.
Even if this we used, System processes have no need to do it as they have
no userland to get inconsistent.
This commmit first fixes the above bugs to get tehm correct in CVS.
then removes them with #ifdef.
This is so that history contains the corrected version should it
be needed in the future.
This code may be needed if we implement the forkall() syscall from
Solaris. It may be needed for other non-posix thread libraries
at some time in the future, so let the code sit for a short while
while I do some work on it anyhow.
This removes a reproducible lockup in NFS.
It may be argued that maybe doing a fork while holding a vnode lock may
not be the best idea in th efirst place but it shouldn't cause a deadlock.
The removal has been running under soak test for several days now.
This removal should be seriously considered for 7.0 and RELENG_6.

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

- Implement one spin lock per thread-queue. Threads assigned to a
run-queue point to this lock via td_lock.
- Improve the facility for assigning threads to CPUs now that sched_lock
contention no longer dominates scheduling decisions on larger SMP
machines.
- Re-write idle time stealing in an attempt to make it less damaging to
general performance. This is still disabled by default. See
kern.sched.steal_idle.
- Call the long-term load balancer from a callout rather than sched_clock()
so there are no locks held. This is disabled by default. See
kern.sched.balance.
- Parameterize many scheduling decisions via sysctls. Try to document
these via sysctl descriptions.
- General structural and naming cleanups.
- Document each function with comments.

kernels exposed by the recent fixes to resource limits for 32-bit processes
on 64-bit kernels:
- Let ABIs expose their maximum stack size via a new pointer in sysentvec
and use that in preference to maxssiz during exec() rather than always
using maxssiz for all processses.
- Apply the ABI's limit fixup to the previous stack size when adjusting
RLIMIT_STACK to determine if the existing mapping for the stack needs to
be grown or shrunk (as well as how much it should be grown or shrunk).

- Adjust lock_profiling stubs semantic in the hard functions in order to be
more accurate and trustable
- Disable shared paths for lock_profiling. Actually, lock_profiling has a
subtle race which makes results caming from shared paths not completely
trustable. A macro stub (LOCK_PROFILING_SHARED) can be actually used for
re-enabling this paths, but is currently intended for developing use only.
- Use homogeneous names for automatic variables in hard functions regarding
lock_profiling
- Style fixes
- Add a CTASSERT for some flags building

ftruncate(), but without the pad arg.
There are several reasons for this. Consider 'mmap()'. On AMD64, the
function call (and syscall) ABI allow for 6 register arguments. Additional
arguments go on the stack. mmap(2) has 6 arguments. However, the syscall
definition has an extra 'int pad' argument. This pushes it to 7 arguments,
which means one must spill into the memory stack. Since the kernel API
doesn't match userland API, we have a hack in libc - libc/sys/mmap.c.
This implements the userland API by calling __syscall() with an extra
argument and the pad argument, for a total of 8 args. This is all
unnecessary and inconvenient for several things, including the kernel's
syscall handler code which now has to handle merging stack arguments with
register arguments. It is a big deal for certain 3rd party code.
I'm adding libc glue to make the transition totally painless. I had
intended to mark the old syscalls as COMPAT6, but the potential to shoot
your feet by building a new kernel without COMPAT_FREEBSD6 but with a
slighly older userland was too great. For now, they have manual
"freebsd6_" prefixes rather than being COMPAT6. They will go back to
being marked 'COMPAT6' after 7-stable starts.

Also, change the visibility of compat syscalls a slightly. Compat
syscalls were missing from 'syscalls.h' entirely. This additionally adds
them with their compat prefix. eg: SYS_freebsd6_mmap.
Also, the syscalls.c names strings have different prefixes to differentiate
syscalls. Instead of several "old.mmap" strings, there will now be a
"compat.mmap" and "compat6.mmap" etc. Before, both would have had the
same "old.mmap" label.

shall not be called while holding cdev mutex. devfs_inos unrhdr has cdev as
mutex, thus creating this LOR situation.
Postpone calling free() in kern/subr_unit.c:alloc_unr() and nested functions
until the unrhdr mutex is dropped. Save the freed items on the ppfree list
instead, and provide the clean_unrhdrl() and clean_unrhdr() functions to
clean the list.
Call clean_unrhdrl() after devfs_create() calls immediately before
dropping cdev mutex. devfs_create() is the only user of the alloc_unrl()
in the tree.
