functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.
As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno

with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.
The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),

thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack

Requested by: rwatson
Discussed with: rwatson
Implement the linux_io_* syscalls (AIO). They are only enabled if the native
AIO code is available (either compiled in to the kernel or as a module) at
the time the functions are used. If the AIO stuff is not available there
will be a ENOSYS.
From the submitter:
---snip---
DESIGN NOTES:
1. Linux permits a process to own multiple AIO queues (distinguished by
"context"), but FreeBSD creates only one single AIO queue per process.
My code maintains a request queue (STAILQ of queue(3)) per "context",
and throws all AIO requests of all contexts owned by a process into
the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue.
When the process calls io_destroy(2), io_getevents(2), io_submit(2) and
io_cancel(2), my code can pick out requests owned by the specified context
from the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue according to the per-context
request queues maintained by my code.
2. The request queue maintained by my code stores contrast information between
Linux IO control blocks (struct linux_iocb) and FreeBSD IO control blocks
(struct aiocb). FreeBSD IO control block actually exists in userland memory
space, required by FreeBSD native aio_XXXXXX(2).
3. It is quite troubling that the function io_getevents() of libaio-0.3.105
needs to use Linux-specific "struct aio_ring", which is a partial mirror
of context in user space. I would rather take the address of context in
kernel as the context ID, but the io_getevents() of libaio forces me to
take the address of the "ring" in user space as the context ID.
To my surprise, one comment line in the file "io_getevents.c" of
libaio-0.3.105 reads:
Ben will hate me for this

I suggest to not unload the linux module after testing this, there are
some "<defunct>" processes hanging around after exiting (they aren't

linux module. They are in state Z and some of them consume CPU according
to ps. But I don't trust the CPU part, the idle threads gets too much CPU
that this may be possible (accumulating idle, X and 2 defunct processes
results in 104.7%, this looks to much to be a rounding error).

Add back in a scheme to emulate old type major/minor numbers via hooks into
stat, linprocfs to return major/minors that Linux app's expect. Currently
only /dev/null is always registered. Drivers can register via the Linux
type shim similar to the ioctl shim but by using
linux_device_register_handler/linux_device_unregister_handler functions.
The structure is:
struct linux_device_handler {
char *bsd_driver_name;
char *linux_driver_name;
char *bsd_device_name;
char *linux_device_name;
int linux_major;
int linux_minor;
int linux_char_device;
};
Linprocfs uses this to display the major number of the driver. The
soon to be available linsysfs will use it to fill in the driver name.
Linux_stat uses it to translate the major/minor into Linux type values.
Note major numbers are dynamically assigned via passing in a -1 for
the major number so we don't need to keep track of them.
This is somewhat needed due to us switching to our devfs. MegaCli
will not run until I add in the linsysfs and mfi Linux compat changes.

- Reorder the events in exit(2) slightly so that we trigger the S_EXIT
stop event earlier. After we have signalled that, we set P_WEXIT and
then wait for any processes with a hold on the vmspace via PHOLD to
release it. PHOLD now KASSERT()'s that P_WEXIT is clear when it is
invoked, and PRELE now does a wakeup if P_WEXIT is set and p_lock drops
to zero.
- Change proc_rwmem() to require that the processing read from has its
vmspace held via PHOLD by the caller and get rid of all the junk to
screw around with the vmspace reference count as we no longer need it.
- In ptrace() and pseudofs(), treat a process with P_WEXIT set as if it
doesn't exist.
- Only do one PHOLD in kern_ptrace() now, and do it earlier so it covers
FIX_SSTEP() (since on alpha at least this can end up calling proc_rwmem()
to clear an earlier single-step simualted via a breakpoint). We only
do one to avoid races. Also, by making the EINVAL error for unknown
requests be part of the default: case in the switch, the various
switch cases can now just break out to return which removes a _lot_ of
duplicated PRELE and proc unlocks, etc. Also, it fixes at least one bug
where a LWP ptrace command could return EINVAL with the proc lock still
held.
- Changed the locking for ptrace_single_step(), ptrace_set_pc(), and
ptrace_clear_single_step() to always be called with the proc lock
held (it was a mixed bag previously). Alpha and arm have to drop
the lock while the mess around with breakpoints, but other archs
avoid extra lock release/acquires in ptrace(). I did have to fix a
couple of other consumers in kern_kse and a few other places to
hold the proc lock and PHOLD.

5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will

6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.
