from struct proc, which are now unused (p_nthread already was).
Remove process flag P_KTHREADP which was untested and only set
in vfs_aio.c (it should use kthread_create). Move the yield
system call to kern_synch.c as kern_threads.c has been removed
completely.

lock. Otherwise, if we block on the backing mutex while releasing the
allproc lock, then when we resume, we will be at SRUN, and we will stay
that way all the way through cpu_exit. As a result, our parent will never
harvest us.
depend on MUTEX_DEBUG. The MUTEX_DEBUG option turns on extra assertions
and checks to verify that mutexes themselves are implemented properly.
The WITNESS option uses extra checks and diagnostics to verify that other
code is using mutexes properly.
passed vnode must be locked; this is the case because of calls
to VOP_GETATTR(), VOP_ACCESS(), and VOP_OPEN(). This becomes
more of an issue when VOP_ACCESS() gets a bit more complicated,
which it does when you introduce ACL, Capability, and MAC
support.

recently discussed at -hackers. The problem is a null-pointer
dereference that happens in kern/vfs_lookup.c when accessing ".."
with a v_mount entry for the current directory vnode of NULL. This
happens when a volume is forcibly unmounted, and the vnode for a
working directory in the mounted volume is cleared.

process is on the alternate stack or not. For compatibility
with sigstack(2) state is being updated if such is needed.
We now determine whether the process is on the alternate
stack by looking at its stack pointer. This allows a process
to siglongjmp from a signal handler on the alternate stack
to the place of the sigsetjmp on the normal stack. When
maintaining state, this would have invalidated the state
information and causing a subsequent signal to be delivered
on the normal stack instead of the alternate stack.

- Use a better test for determining when a process is running.
- Convert some checks to assertions.
- Remove unnecessary tests.
- Save the priority before acquiring a mutex rather than in msleep(9).
timeout. If DIAGNOSTIC is turned on, then display a message to the console
with a map of which CPUs failed to stop or restart. This gives an SMP box
at least a fighting chance of getting into DDB if one of the other CPUs has
interrupts disabled.
Alter consumers of this method to conform to the new convention.
Minor cosmetic adjustments to bus.h.
This isn't of concern as this interface isn't in use yet.
1) mpsafe (protect the refcount with a mutex).
2) reduce duplicated code by removing the inlined crdup() from crcopy()
and make crcopy() call crdup().
3) use M_ZERO flag when allocating initial structs instead of calling bzero
after allocation.
4) expand the size of the refcount from a u_short to an u_int, by using
shorts we might have an overflow.

a kevent upon completion of the I/O. Specifically, introduce a new type
of sigevent notification, SIGEV_EVENT. If sigev_notify is SIGEV_EVENT,
then sigev_notify_kqueue names the kqueue that should receive the event
and sigev_value contains the "void *" is copied into the kevent's udata
field.
In contrast to the existing interface, this one: 1) works on
the Alpha 2) avoids the extra copyin() call for the kevent because all
of the information needed is in the sigevent and 3) could be
applied to request a single kevent upon completion of an entire lio_listio().
