d56a374cac MPsafe fixes:
use SYSINIT to initialize pipe_zone.
use PIPE_LOCK to protect kevent ops.

98b979a712 First rev at making pipe(2) pipe's MPsafe.
Both ends of the pipe share a pool_mutex, this makes allocation
and deadlock avoidance easy.

Remove some un-needed FILE_LOCK ops while I'm here.

There are some issues wrt to select and the f{s,g}etown code that
we'll have to deal with, I think we may also need to move the calls
to vfs_timestamp outside of the sections covered by PIPE_LOCK.

844237b396 SMP Lock struct file, filedesc and the global file list.
Seigo Tanimura (tanimura) posted the initial delta.

I've polished it quite a bit reducing the need for locking and
adapting it for KSE.

Locks:

1 mutex in each filedesc
   protects all the fields.
   protects "struct file" initialization, while a struct file
     is being changed from &badfileops -> &pipeops or something
     the filedesc should be locked.

1 mutex in each struct file
   protects the refcount fields.
   doesn't protect anything else.
   the flags used for garbage collection have been moved to
     f_gcflag which was the FILLER short, this doesn't need
     locking because the garbage collection is a single threaded
     container.
  could likely be made to use a pool mutex.

1 sx lock for the global filelist.

struct file *	fhold(struct file *fp);
        /* increments reference count on a file */

struct file *	fhold_locked(struct file *fp);
        /* like fhold but expects file to locked */

struct file *	ffind_hold(struct thread *, int fd);
        /* finds the struct file in thread, adds one reference and
                returns it unlocked */

struct file *	ffind_lock(struct thread *, int fd);
        /* ffind_hold, but returns file locked */

I still have to smp-safe the fget cruft, I'll get to that asap.

e028603b7e With Alfred's permission, remove vm_mtx in favor of a fine-grained approach
(this commit is just the first stage).  Also add various GIANT_ macros to
formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal
fashion. These macros will allow us to test fine-grained locks to a degree
before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.

0df006928d - Assert that the vm mutex is held in pipe_free_kmem().
- Don't release the vm mutex early in pipespace() but instead hold it
  across vm_object_deallocate() if vm_map_find() returns an error and
  across pipe_free_kmem() if vm_map_find() succeeds.
- Add a XXX above a zfree() since zalloc already has its own locking,

a3f0842419 Introduce a global lock for the vm subsystem (vm_mtx).
vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level
vm operations.

faults can not be taken without holding Giant.

Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely.

Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the
vm mutex.

Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers.

FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor
changes (grabbing the vm lock when twiddling page properties).

4285179bde Remove an 'optimization' I hope to never see again.
The pipe code could not handle running out of kva, it would panic
if that happened.  Instead return ENFILE to the application which
is an acceptable error return from pipe(2).

There was some slightly tricky things that needed to be worked on,
namely that the pipe code can 'realloc' the size of the buffer if
it detects that the pipe could use a bit more room.  However if it
failed the reallocation it could not cope and would panic.  Fix
this by attempting to grow the pipe while holding onto our old
resources.  If all goes well free the old resources and use the
new ones, otherwise continue to use the smaller buffer already
allocated.

While I'm here add a few blank lines for style(9) and remove
'register'.

77880079dd Fix two problems with pipe_write():
1. Data written beyond end of pipe buffer, causing kernel memory corruption.

    - Check that space is still valid after obtaining the pipe lock.

    - Defer the calculation of transfer size until the pipe
      lock has been obtained.

    - Update the pipe buffer pointers while holding the pipe lock.

 2. Writes of size <= PIPE_BUF not always atomic.

    - Allow an internal write to span two contiguous segments,
      so writes of size <= PIPE_BUF can be kept atomic
      when wrapping around from the end to the start of the
      pipe buffer.

140cb4ff83 This is what was "fdfix2.patch," a fix for fd sharing. It's pretty
far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for
changes.  The biggest change is that now, you don't use
	fp->f_ops->fo_foo(fp, bar)
but instead
	fo_foo(fp, bar),
which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit.
Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided.  Each does what it
seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the
fd is freed as well.

3defb6d13f Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs:
1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to
   "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others.
   This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by
   Terry Lambert.
   Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit
   byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the
   pagers and their callers to deal with this properly.
2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that
   caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing
   the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers.
   There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by
   macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay,
   however.

Added comments about other implicit initializations, mostly for struct
stat.

Fixed initialization of st_mode.  S_IFSOCK was for when pipes were sockets.
It is probably safe to fix the bogus S_ISFIFO() now that pipes can be
distinguished from sockets in all cases.

Don't return ENOSYS for inappropriate ioctls.

276899d730 Improve the performance for pipe(2) again. Also include some
fixes for previous version of new pipes from Bruce Evans.  This
new version:

Supports more properly the semantics of select (BDE).
Supports "OLD_PIPE" correctly (kern_descrip.c, BDE).
Eliminates incorrect EPIPE returns (bash 'pipe broken' messages.)
Much faster yet, currently tuned relatively conservatively -- but now
	gives approx 50% more perf than the new pipes code did originally.
	(That was about 50% more perf than the original BSD pipe code.)

Known bugs outstanding:
	No support for async io (SIGIO).  Will be included soon.

Next to do:
	Merge support for FIFOs.
