vfs_mount_alloc/vfs_mount_destroy functions and take care to completely
destroy the mount point along with its locks. Mount struct has grown in
coplexity recently and depending on each failure path to destroy it
completely isn't working anymore.
2. Eliminate largely identical vfs_mount and vfs_unmount question by
moving the code to handle both cases into a newly introduced vfs_domount
function.
3. Simplify nfs_mount_diskless to always expect an allocated mount
struct and never attempt an allocation/destruction itself. The
vfs_allocroot allocation was there to support 'magic' swap space
configuration for diskless clients that was already removed by PHK some
time ago.
4. Include a vfs_buildopts cleanups by Peter Edwards to validate the
sanity of nmount parameters passed from userland.

Introduce two new macros MNT_ILOCK(mp)/MNT_IUNLOCK(mp) to
operate on this mutex transparently.
Eventually new mutex will be protecting more fields in

specified directory is not found in the mount list. Before the
MNT_BYFSID changes, unmount(2) used to return ENOENT for a nonexistent
path and EINVAL for a non-mountpoint, but we can no longer distinguish
between these cases. Of the two error codes, EINVAL was more likely
to occur in practice, and it was the only one of the two that was
documented.
Update the manual page to match the current behaviour.

system by specifying the file system ID instead of a path. Use this
by default in umount(8). This avoids the need to perform any vnode
operations to look up the mount point, so it makes it possible to
unmount a file system whose root vnode cannot be looked up (e.g.
due to a dead NFS server, or a file system that has become detached
from the hierarchy because an underlying file system was unmounted).
It also provides an unambiguous way to specify which file system is
to be unmunted.
Since the ability to unmount using a path name is retained only for
compatibility, that case now just uses a simple string comparison
of the supplied path against f_mntonname of each mounted file system.

locks the mount point directory while waiting for vfs_busy to clear.
Meanwhile the unmount which holds the vfs_busy lock tried to lock
the mount point vnode. The fix is to observe that it is safe for the
unmount to remove the vnode from the mount point without locking it.
The lookup will wait for the unmount to complete, then recheck the
mount point when the vfs_busy lock clears.

Change the pieces of code which relied on mount->mnt_stat.f_owner
to check which user mounted the filesystem.
This became needed as the EA code needs to be able to allocate
blocks for "system" EA users like ACLs.
There seems to be some half-baked (probably only quarter- actually)
notion that the superuser for a given filesystem is the user who
mounted it, but this has far from been carried through. It is
unclear if it should be.

- v_vflag is protected by the vnode lock and is used when synchronization
with VOP calls is needed.
- v_iflag is protected by interlock and is used for dealing with vnode
management issues. These flags include X/O LOCK, FREE, DOOMED, etc.
- All accesses to v_iflag and v_vflag have either been locked or marked with
mp_fixme's.
- Many ASSERT_VOP_LOCKED calls have been added where the locking was not
clear.
- Many functions in vfs_subr.c were restructured to provide for stronger
locking.

linker_load_module() instead.
This fixes a bug where the kernel was unable to properly locate and
load a kernel module in vfs_mount() (and probably in the netgraph
code as well since it was using the same function). This is because
the linker_load_file() does not properly search the module path.

kernel access control.
Invoke the necessary MAC entry points to maintain labels on
mount structures. In particular, invoke entry points for
intialization and destruction in various scenarios (root,
non-root). Also introduce an entry point in the boot procedure
following the mount of the root file system, but prior to the
start of the userland init process to permit policies to
perform further initialization.

The file vfs_conf.c which was dealing with root mounting has
been repo-copied into vfs_mount.c to preserve history.
This makes nmount related development easier, and help reducing
the size of vfs_syscalls.c, which is still an enormous file.

environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up. The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.
This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).
