traced by another process such as a debugger). The parent process does
need to check for matching orphan pids to avoid returning ECHILD if an
orphan has exited, but it should not return the exited status for the
child until after the debugger has detached from the orphan process
either explicitly or implicitly via wait().
Add two tests for for this case: one where the debugger is the direct
child (thus the parent has a non-empty children list) and one where
the debugger is not a direct child (so the only "child" of the parent
is the orphan).

In r256613, taskqueue_enqueue_locked() have been modified to release the
task queue lock before returning. In r276665, taskqueue_drain_all() will
call taskqueue_enqueue_locked() to insert the barrier task into the queue,
but did not reacquire the lock after it but later code expects the lock
still being held (e.g. TQ_SLEEP()).
The barrier task is special and if we release then reacquire the lock,
there would be a small race window where a high priority task could sneak
into the queue. Looking more closely, the race seems to be tolerable but
is undesirable from semantics standpoint.
To solve this, in taskqueue_drain_tq_queue(), instead of directly calling
taskqueue_enqueue_locked(), insert the barrier task directly without
releasing the lock.

serial line noise (such as unplugging a usb serial adapter) can look like
a break and drop a working system into the debugger. The alt break sequence
(<CR>~^B) works fine on both serial and non-serial consoles.

DragonflyBSD uses the FreeBSD wireless stack and drivers. Their malloc()
API is named differently, so they don't have userland/kernel symbol
clashes like we do (think libuinet.)
So, to make it easier for them and to port to other BSDs/other operating
systems, start hiding the malloc specific bits behind defines in
ieee80211_freebsd.h.
DragonflyBSD can now put these portability defines in their local
ieee80211_dragonflybsd.h.
This should be a great big no-op for everyone running wifi.
TODO:
* kill M_WAITOK - some platforms just don't want you to use it
* .. and/or handle it returning NULL rather than waiting forever.
* MALLOC_DEFINE() ?
* Migrate the well-known malloc names (eg M_TEMP) to net80211
namespace defines.
Smart NICs with firmware (eg wpi, iwn, the new atheros parts, the intel 7260
series, etc) support doing a lot of things in firmware. This includes but
isn't limited to things like scanning, sending probe requests and receiving
probe responses. However, net80211 doesn't know about any of this - it still
drives the whole scan/probe infrastructure itself.
In order to move towards suppoting smart NICs, the receive path needs to
know about the channel/details for each received packet. In at least
the iwn and 7260 firmware (and I believe wpi, but I haven't tried it yet)
it will do the scanning, power-save and off-channel buffering for you -
all you need to do is handle receiving beacons and probe responses on
channels that aren't what you're currently on. However the whole receive
path is peppered with ic->ic_curchan and manual scan/powersave handling.
The beacon parsing code also checks ic->ic_curchan to determine if the
received beacon is on the correct channel or not.[1]
So:
* add freq/ieee values to ieee80211_rx_stats;
* change ieee80211_parse_beacon() to accept the 'current' channel
as an argument;
* modify the iv_input() and iv_recv_mgmt() methods to include the rx_stats;
* add a new method - ieee80211_lookup_channel_rxstats() - that looks up
a channel based on the contents of ieee80211_rx_stats;
* if it exists, use it in the mgmt path to switch the current channel
(which still defaults to ic->ic_curchan) over to something determined
by rx_stats.
This is enough to kick-start scan offload support in the Intel 7260
driver that Rui/I are working on. It also is a good start for scan
offload support for a handful of existing NICs (wpi, iwn, some USB
parts) and it'll very likely dramatically improve stability/performance
there. It's not the whole thing - notably, we don't need to do powersave,
we should not scan all channels, and we should leave probe request sending
to the firmware and not do it ourselves. But, this allows for continued
development on the above features whilst actually having a somewhat
working NIC.
TODO:
* Finish tidying up how the net80211 input path works.
Right now ieee80211_input / ieee80211_input_all act as the top-level
that everything feeds into; it should change so the MIMO input routines
are those and the legacy routines are phased out.
* The band selection should be done by the driver, not by the net80211
layer.
* ieee80211_lookup_channel_rxstats() only determines 11b or 11g channels
for now - this is enough for scanning, but not 100% true in all cases.
If we ever need to handle off-channel scan support for things like
static-40MHz or static-80MHz, or turbo-G, or half/quarter rates,
then we should extend this.
[1] This is a side effect of frequency-hopping and CCK modes - you
can receive beacons when you think you're on a different channel.
In particular, CCK (which is used by the low 11b rates, eg beacons!)
is decodable from adjacent channels - just at a low SNR.
FH is a side effect of having the hardware/firmware do the frequency
hopping - it may pick up beacons transmitted from other FH networks
that are in a different phase of hopping frequencies.
