In some cases, kern_envp is set by the architecture code and env_pos does
not contain the length of the static kernel environment. In these cases
r249408 causes the kernel to discard the environment.
Fix this by updating the check for empty static env to *kern_envp != '\0'
Reported by: np@
In case where there are no static kernel environment entries, the
function init_dynamic_kenv() adds an incorrect entry at position 0 of
the dynamic kernel environment. This in turn causes kenv(1) to print
and empty list even though there are dynamic entries added later.
Fix this by checking env_pos in init_dynamic_kenv() and adding dynamic
entries only if there are static entries.

Although native word padding (i.e. 8-byte on 64bit arch) looks to be
in agreement with standards, other parts of our code and other OSes
use 4-byte alignment.
This is not expected to change alignment for currently generated core
dump notes, as the notes look to consist of structures with sizes
multiple of 8 on 64-bit archs. But there are plans to add additional
notes, where 4-byte vs 8-byte alignment makes difference.

POSIX mqueue, compatibility ksem and POSIX shm create a file descriptor that
has close-on-exec set. However, they do this incorrectly, leaving a window
where a thread may fork and exec while the flag has not been set yet. The
race is easily reproduced on a multicore system with one thread doing
shm_open and close and another thread doing posix_spawnp and waitpid.
Set UF_EXCLOSE via falloc()'s flags argument instead. This also simplifies

No consumers need to find them there and it complicates the tree.
These flags are all FFS specific and could be moved out of the buf

1. If we wanted to send exactly as many bytes as the socket buffer is
sized for, the inner loop of kern_sendfile() would see that the
socket is full before seeing that it had no more bytes left to send.
This would cause it to return EAGAIN to the caller instead of
success. Fix by changing the order that these conditions are tested.
2. Simplify the calculation for the bytes to send in each iteration of
the inner loop of kern_sendfile()
3. Fix some calls with bogus arguments to sf_buf_ext(). These would

In physio, check if device can handle unmapped IO and pass an
appropriately mapped buffer to the driver strategy routine. The
only driver in the tree that can handle unmapped buffers is one
exposed by GEOM, so mark it as such with the new flag in the
driver cdevsw structure.
This fixes insta-panics on hosts, running dconschat, as /dev/fwmem
is an example of the driver that makes use of physio routine, but
bypasses the g_down thread, where the buffer gets mapped normally.

The scope of these callbacks is primarily to support actions that affect the
taskqueue's thread environments. They are entirely optional, and
consequently are introduced as a new API: taskqueue_set_callback().
This interface allows the caller to specify that a taskqueue requires a
callback and optional context pointer for a given callback type.
The callback types included in this commit can be used to register a
constructor and destructor for thread-local storage using osd(9). This
allows a particular taskqueue to define that its threads require a specific
type of TLS, without the need for a specially-orchestrated task-based
mechanism for startup and shutdown in order to accomplish it.
Two callback types are supported at this point:
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_INIT, called by every thread when it starts, prior
to processing any tasks.
- TASKQUEUE_CALLBACK_TYPE_SHUTDOWN, called by every thread when it exits,
after it has processed its last task but before the taskqueue is
reclaimed.
While I'm here:
- Add two new macros, TQ_ASSERT_LOCKED and TQ_ASSERT_UNLOCKED, and use them
in appropriate locations.
- Fix taskqueue.9 to mention taskqueue_start_threads(), which is a required
interface for all consumers of taskqueue(9).

UMTX_PROFILING should really analyze the distribution of locks as they
index entries in the umtxq_chains hash-table.
However, the current implementation does add/dec the length counters
for *every* thread insert/removal, measuring at all really userland
contention and not the hash distribution.
Fix this by correctly add/dec the length counters in the points where
it is really needed.
Please note that this bug brought us questioning in the past the quality
of the umtx hash table distribution.
To date with all the benchmarks I could try I was not able to reproduce
any issue about the hash distribution on umtx.

becoming too low, the softdep flush thread processes the workitems,
which frees the space in journal, and then unsuspends the fs. The
softdep_flush() and other workitem processing functions busy the
filesystem before iterating over the worklist, to prevent the parallel
unmount from freeing the mount data. The vfs_busy() is called with
MBF_NOWAIT flag.
Now, if the unmount is already started and the filesystem is suspended
due to low journal space, the journal is never flushed and filesystem
is never unsuspended, because vfs_busy(MBF_NOWAIT) call cannot succeed
for the unmounting fs, and softdep_flush() does not process the
workitems. Unmount needs to write metadata, where it hangs in the
"suspfs" state.
Move the vn_start_write() call in the dounmount() before setting the
MNTK_UNMOUNT flag. This practically ensures that softdep_flush()
processed the pending journal writes by making dounmount() wait for
the lift of the suspension.

we need to call ufs_checkpath() to walk from our new location to
the root of the filesystem to ensure that we do not encounter

I/O of reading the ".." entries by first looking them up in the
