dca50049ce Reimplement futexes.
Old implemention used Giant to protect the kernel data structures,
but at the same time called malloc(M_WAITOK), that could cause the
calling thread to sleep and lost Giant protection. User-visible
result was the missed wakeup.

New implementation uses one sx lock per futex. The sx protects
the futex structures and allows to sleep while copyin or copyout
are performed.

Unlike linux, we return EINVAL when FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation
is requested and either caller specified futexes are equial or
second futex already exists. This is acceptable since the situation
can only occur from the application error, and glibc falls back to
old FUTEX_WAKE operation when FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE returns an error.

ada9604fd2 Remove support for FUTEX_REQUEUE operation.
Glibc does not use this operation since 2.3.3 version (Jun 2004),
as it is racy and replaced by FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation.
Glibc versions prior to 2.3.3 fall back to FUTEX_WAKE when
FUTEX_REQUEUE returned EINVAL.

Any application directly using FUTEX_REQUEUE without return
value checking are definitely broken.

Limit quantity of messages per process about unsupported
operation.

ac334eb30e Add stuff to support upcoming BMC/IPMI flashing of newer Dell machine
via the Linux tool.
     -  Add Linux shim to ipmi(4)
     -  Create a partitions file to linprocfs to make Linux fdisk see
        disks.  This file is dynamic so we can see disks come and go.
     -  Convert msdosfs to vfat in mtab since Linux uses that for
        msdosfs.
     -  In the Linux mount path convert vfat passed in to msdosfs
        so Linux mount works on FreeBSD.  Note that tasting works
        so that if da0 is a msdos file system
                /compat/linux/bin/mount /dev/da0 /mnt
        works.
     -  fix a 64it bug for l_off_t.
Grabing sh, mount, fdisk, df from Linux, creating a symlink of mtab to
/compat/linux/etc/mtab and then some careful unpacking of the Linux bmc
update tool and hacking makes it work on newer Dell boxes.  Note, probably
if you can't figure out how to do this, then you probably shouldn't be
doing it :-)

e1b708897e A better fix for handling different FPU initial control words for different
ABIs:
- Store the FPU initial control word in the pcb for each thread.
- When first using the FPU, load the initial control word after restoring
  the clean state if it is not the standard control word.
- Provide a correct control word for Linux/i386 binaries under
  FreeBSD/amd64.
- Adjust the control word returned for fpugetregs()/npxgetregs() when a
  thread hasn't used the FPU yet to reflect the real initial control
  word for the current ABI.
- The Linux/i386 ABI for FreeBSD/i386 now properly sets the right control
  word instead of trashing whatever the current state of the FPU is.

df2be82cec For all files including net/vnet.h directly include opt_route.h and
net/route.h.

Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.

We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.

This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.

72727e8d9f Don't make Linux stat() open character devices to resolve its name.
The existing code calls kern_open() to resolve the vnode of a pathname
right after a stat(). This is not correct, because it causes random
character devices to be opened in /dev. This means ls'ing a tape
streamer will cause it to rewind, for example. Changes I have made:

- Add kern_statat_vnhook() to allow binary emulators to `post-process'
  struct stat, using the proper vnode.

- Remove unneeded printf's from stat() and statfs().

- Make the Linuxolator use kern_statat_vnhook(), replacing
  translate_path_major_minor_at().

- Let translate_fd_major_minor() use vp->v_rdev instead of
  vp->v_un.vu_cdev.

Result:

	crw-rw-rw- 1 root root   0, 14 Feb 20 13:54 /dev/ptmx
	crw--w---- 1 root adm  136,  0 Feb 20 14:03 /dev/pts/0

	crw--w---- 1 ed   tty  136,  2 Feb 20 14:03 /dev/pts/2

Before this commit, ptmx also had a major number of 136, because it
silently allocated and deallocated a pseudo-terminal. Device nodes that
cannot be opened now have proper major/minor-numbers.

a964306db9 Last step of splitting up minor and unit numbers: remove minor().
Inside the kernel, the minor() function was responsible for obtaining
the device minor number of a character device. Because we made device
numbers dynamically allocated and independent of the unit number passed
to make_dev() a long time ago, it was actually a misnomer. If you really
want to obtain the device number, you should use dev2udev().

We already converted all the drivers to use dev2unit() to obtain the
device unit number, which is still used by a lot of drivers. I've
noticed not a single driver passes NULL to dev2unit(). Even if they
would, its behaviour would make little sense. This is why I've removed
the NULL check.

Ths commit removes minor(), minor2unit() and unit2minor() from the
kernel. Because there was a naming collision with uminor(), we can
rename umajor() and uminor() back to major() and minor(). This means
that the makedev(3) manual page also applies to kernel space code now.

I suspect umajor() and uminor() isn't used that often in external code,
but to make it easier for other parties to port their code, I've
increased __FreeBSD_version to 800062.

f3a9a195cb Push down Giant inside sysctl. Also add some more assertions to the code.
In the existing code we didn't really enforce that callers hold Giant
before calling userland_sysctl(), even though there is no guarantee it
is safe. Fix this by just placing Giant locks around the call to the oid
handler. This also means we only pick up Giant for a very short period
of time. Maybe we should add MPSAFE flags to sysctl or phase it out all
together.

I've also added SYSCTL_LOCK_ASSERT(). We have to make sure sysctl_root()
and name2oid() are called with the sysctl lock held.

9d3703b842 Mark uname(), getdomainname() and setdomainname() with COMPAT_FREEBSD4.
Looking at our source code history, it seems the uname(),
getdomainname() and setdomainname() system calls got deprecated
somewhere after FreeBSD 1.1, but they have never been phased out
properly. Because we don't have a COMPAT_FREEBSD1, just use
COMPAT_FREEBSD4.

Also fix the Linuxolator to build without the setdomainname() routine by
just making it call userland_sysctl on kern.domainname. Also replace the
setdomainname()'s implementation to use this approach, because we're
duplicating code with sysctl_domainname().

I wasn't able to keep these three routines working in our
COMPAT_FREEBSD32, because that would require yet another keyword for
syscalls.master (COMPAT4+NOPROTO). Because this routine is probably
unused already, this won't be a problem in practice. If it turns out to
be a problem, we'll just restore this functionality.

but p->p_emuldata is left as a dangling pointer to the just freed memory.

The check for W_EXIT in the loop scanning the child processes isn't safe

Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a

Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header

sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).

All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this

cc3116a938 Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.
The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

  The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
  make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
  device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
  in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
  TTY buffers.

  If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
  (still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
  implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

  With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
  the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
  where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
  the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
  used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

  The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
  posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

  One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
  to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
  Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
  used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

ff609f1187 Push down the major/minor conversion for pts/%u to improve consistency.
In the mpsafetty branch, Linux sshd seems to work properly inside a
jail. Some small modifications had to be made to the Linux compatibility
layer.

The Linux PTY routines always expect the device major number to be 136
or higher. Our code always set the major/minor number pair to 136:0.
This makes routines like ttyname() and ptsname() fail, because we'll end
up having ambiguous device numbers.

The conversion was not performed on all *stat() routines, which meant in
some cases the numbers didn't get transformed. By pushing the conversion
into linux_driver_get_major_minor(), the transformation will take place
on all calls.

* Thread-safe kernel RPC client - many threads can use the same RPC
  client handle safely with replies being de-multiplexed at the socket
  upcall (typically driven directly by the NIC interrupt) and handed
  off to whichever thread matches the reply. For UDP sockets, many RPC
  clients can share the same socket. This allows the use of a single
  privileged UDP port number to talk to an arbitrary number of remote
  hosts.

* Single-threaded kernel RPC server. Adding support for multi-threaded
  server would be relatively straightforward and would follow
  approximately the Solaris KPI. A single thread should be sufficient
  for the NLM since it should rarely block in normal operation.

* Kernel mode NLM server supporting cancel requests and granted
  callbacks. I've tested the NLM server reasonably extensively - it
  passes both my own tests and the NFS Connectathon locking tests
  running on Solaris, Mac OS X and Ubuntu Linux.

* Userland NLM client supported. While the NLM server doesn't have
  support for the local NFS client's locking needs, it does have to
  field async replies and granted callbacks from remote NLMs that the
  local client has contacted. We relay these replies to the userland
  rpc.lockd over a local domain RPC socket.

* Robust deadlock detection for the local lock manager. In particular
  it will detect deadlocks caused by a lock request that covers more
  than one blocking request. As required by the NLM protocol, all
  deadlock detection happens synchronously - a user is guaranteed that
  if a lock request isn't rejected immediately, the lock will
  eventually be granted. The old system allowed for a 'deferred
  deadlock' condition where a blocked lock request could wake up and
  find that some other deadlock-causing lock owner had beaten them to
  the lock.

* Since both local and remote locks are managed by the same kernel
  locking code, local and remote processes can safely use file locks
  for mutual exclusion. Local processes have no fairness advantage
  compared to remote processes when contending to lock a region that
  has just been unlocked - the local lock manager enforces a strict
  first-come first-served model for both local and remote lockers.
