After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

This makes it possible to support ftruncate() on non-vnode file types in
the future.
- 'struct fileops' grows a 'fo_truncate' method to handle an ftruncate() on
a given file descriptor.
- ftruncate() moves to kern/sys_generic.c and now just fetches a file
object and invokes fo_truncate().
- The vnode-specific portions of ftruncate() move to vn_truncate() in
vfs_vnops.c which implements fo_truncate() for vnode file types.
- Non-vnode file types return EINVAL in their fo_truncate() method.

- Introduce a finit() which is used to initailize the fields of struct file
in such a way that the ops vector is only valid after the data, type,
and flags are valid.
- Protect f_flag and f_count with atomic operations.
- Remove the global list of all files and associated accounting.
- Rewrite the unp garbage collection such that it no longer requires
the global list of all files and instead uses a list of all unp sockets.
- Mark sockets in the accept queue so we don't incorrectly gc them.

previously conditionally acquired Giant based on debug.mpsafenet. As that
has now been removed, they are no longer required. Removing them
significantly simplifies error-handling in the socket layer, eliminated
quite a bit of unwinding of locking in error cases.
While here clean up the now unneeded opt_net.h, which previously was used
for the NET_WITH_GIANT kernel option. Clean up some related gotos for
consistency.

and flags with an sxlock. This leads to a significant and measurable
performance improvement as a result of access to shared locking for
frequent lookup operations, reduced general overhead, and reduced overhead
in the event of contention. All of these are imported for threaded
applications where simultaneous access to a shared file descriptor array
occurs frequently. Kris has reported 2x-4x transaction rate improvements
on 8-core MySQL benchmarks; smaller improvements can be expected for many
workloads as a result of reduced overhead.
- Generally eliminate the distinction between "fast" and regular
acquisisition of the filedesc lock; the plan is that they will now all
be fast. Change all locking instances to either shared or exclusive
locks.
- Correct a bug (pointed out by kib) in fdfree() where previously msleep()
was called without the mutex held; sx_sleep() is now always called with
the sxlock held exclusively.
- Universally hold the struct file lock over changes to struct file,
rather than the filedesc lock or no lock. Always update the f_ops
field last. A further memory barrier is required here in the future
(discussed with jhb).
- Improve locking and reference management in linux_at(), which fails to
properly acquire vnode references before using vnode pointers. Annotate
improper use of vn_fullpath(), which will be replaced at a future date.
In fcntl(), we conservatively acquire an exclusive lock, even though in
some cases a shared lock may be sufficient, which should be revisited.
The dropping of the filedesc lock in fdgrowtable() is no longer required
as the sxlock can be held over the sleep operation; we should consider
removing that (pointed out by attilio).

- Move all the svr4 socket cache code into svr4_socket.c, specifically
move svr4_delete_socket() over from streams.c. Make the socket cache
entry structure and svr4_head private to svr4_socket.c as a result.
- Add a mutex to protect the svr4 socket cache.
- Change svr4_find_socket() to copy the sockaddr_un struct into a
caller-supplied sockaddr_un rather than giving the caller a pointer to
our internal one. This removes the one case where code outside of
svr4_socket.c could access data in the cache.
- Add an eventhandler for process_exit and process_exec to purge the cache
of any entries for the exiting or execing process.
- Add methods to init and destroy the socket cache and call them from the
svr4 ABI module's event handler.
- Conditionally grab Giant around socreate() in streamsopen().
- Use fdclose() instead of inlining it in streamsopen() when handling
socreate() failure.
- Only allocate a stream structure and attach it to a socket in
streamsopen(). Previously, if a svr4 program performed a stream
operation on an arbitrary socket not opened via the streams device,
we would attach streams state data to it and change f_ops of the
associated struct file while it was in use. The latter was especially
not safe, and if a program wants a stream object it should open it via
the streams device anyway.
- Don't bother locking so_emuldata in the streams code now that we only
touch it right after creating a socket (in streamsopen()) or when
tearing it down when the file is closed.
- Remove D_NEEDGIANT from the streams device as it is no longer needed.
Use this in all the places where sleeping with the lock held is not
an issue.
The distinction will become significant once we finalize the exact
lock-type to use for this kind of case.

table, acquiring the necessary locks as it works. It usually returns
two references to the new descriptor: one in the descriptor table
and one via a pointer argument.
As falloc releases the FILEDESC lock before returning, there is a
potential for a process to close the reference in the file descriptor
table before falloc's caller gets to use the file. I don't think this
can happen in practice at the moment, because Giant indirectly protects
closes.
To stop the file being completly closed in this situation, this change
makes falloc set the refcount to two when both references are returned.
This makes life easier for several of falloc's callers, because the
first thing they previously did was grab an extra reference on the
file.
