- Restore inferior() to being iterative rather than recursive.
- Assert that the proctree_lock is held in inferior() and change the one
caller to get a shared lock of it. This also ensures that we hold the
lock after performing the check so the check can't be made invalid out
from under us after the check but before we act on it.

one to perform a vn_open using temporary/other/fake credentials.
Modify the nfs client side locking code to use vn_open_cred() passing
proc0's ucred instead of the old way which was to temporary raise
privs while running vn_open(). This should close the race hopefully.
as being valid. Previously only the magic number and the virtual
address were checked, but it makes little sense to require that
the virtual address is the same (the message buffer is located at
the end of physical memory), and checks on the msg_bufx and msg_bufr
indices were missing.

sysctl handlers to have access to the current thread, permitting work
on implementing td->td_ucred, migration of suser() to using struct
thread to derive the appropriate ucred, and allowing struct thread to be
passed down to other code, such as network code where td is not currently
available (and curproc is used).

strategy routines turn-around and issue another high level I/O, such as
when MD turns around and issues a VOP_WRITE to vnode backing store, in order
to avoid deadlocking the dirty buffer draining code.
Remove a vprintf() warning from MD when the backing vnode is found to be
in-use. The syncer of buf_daemon could be flushing the backing vnode at
the time of an MD operation so the warning is not correct.

be split into a 'dirty' and 'clean' list. This way we only break kld's once

This simplifies upcoming changes to suser(), and causes this code
to use the right credential (well, largely) once the td->td_ucred
changes are complete. There remains some redundancy and oddness
in this code, which should be rethought after the next batch of
suser and credential changes.

those savings will be obscured with the impending commit of suser()
changes, and the result is increased code complexity. Also, once
p->p_ucred and td->td_ucred are distinguished, this will make
vfs_mount() use the correct thread credential, rather than the
process credential.

gids (egid + additional groups) are a strict superset of the gids of
p2. This implements properly the security test previously incorrectly
implemented in kern_ktrace.c, and is consistent with the kernel
security policy (although might be slightly confusing for those more
familiar with the userland policy).
o Restructure p_candebug() logic so that various results are generated
comparing uids, gids, credential changes, and then composed in a

seperate. Additional comments are added.

policy decision, whereas the P_INEXEC check has to do with "correctness"
regarding race conditions, rather than security policy.
Example: even if no security protections were enforced (the "uids are
advisory" model), removing P_INEXEC could result in incorrect operation
due to races on credential evaluation and modification during execve().
