an excessive close() on one of these descriptors would cause
a memory for this descriptor to be allocated in the internal
descriptor table. When this descriptor gets used again, e.g.
through the call to open() or socket(), the descriptor would
be erroneously left in the blocking mode, and the whole
application would get stuck on a blocking operation, e.g.,
in accept(2).
Prevent this bug from happening by disallowing close() against
non-active descriptors (return -1 and set errno to EBADF in
this case).

there is no data to read anymore.

list is protected by a spinlock_t, but the dead list uses a pthread_mutex
because it is necessary to synchronize other threads with the garbage
collector thread. Lock/Unlock macros are used so it's easier to make
changes to the locks in the future.
The 'dead thread list' lock is intended to replace the gc mutex.
This doesn't have any practical ramifications. It simply makes it
clearer what the purpose of the lock is. The gc will use this lock,
instead of the gc mutex, to synchronize access to the dead list with
other threads.
Modify _pthread_exit() to use these two new locks instead of GIANT_LOCK,
and also to properly lock and protect thread state changes,
especially with respect to a joining thread.
The gc thread was also re-arranged to be more organized and less nested.
_pthread_join() was also modified to use the thread list locks. However,
locking and unlocking here needs special care because a thread could find
itself in a position where it's joining an exiting thread that is
waiting on the dead list lock, which this thread (joiner) holds. If the
joiner doesn't take care to lock *and* unlock in the same order they
(the joiner and the joinee) could deadlock against each other.

prime objectives are:
o Implement a syscall path based on the epc inststruction (see
sys/ia64/ia64/syscall.s).
o Revisit the places were we need to save and restore registers
and define those contexts in terms of the register sets (see
sys/ia64/include/_regset.h).
Secundairy objectives:
o Remove the requirement to use contigmalloc for kernel stacks.
o Better handling of the high FP registers for SMP systems.
o Switch to the new cpu_switch() and cpu_throw() semantics.
o Add a good unwinder to reconstruct contexts for the rare
cases we need to (see sys/contrib/ia64/libuwx)
Many files are affected by this change. Functionally it boils
down to:
o The EPC syscall doesn't preserve registers it does not need
to preserve and places the arguments differently on the stack.
This affects libc and truss.
o The address of the kernel page directory (kptdir) had to
be unstaticized for use by the nested TLB fault handler.
The name has been changed to ia64_kptdir to avoid conflicts.
The renaming affects libkvm.
o The trapframe only contains the special registers and the
scratch registers. For syscalls using the EPC syscall path
no scratch registers are saved. This affects all places where
the trapframe is accessed. Most notably the unaligned access
handler, the signal delivery code and the debugger.
o Context switching only partly saves the special registers
and the preserved registers. This affects cpu_switch() and
triggered the move to the new semantics, which additionally
affects cpu_throw().
o The high FP registers are either in the PCB or on some
CPU. context switching for them is done lazily. This affects
trap().
o The mcontext has room for all registers, but not all of them
have to be defined in all cases. This mostly affects signal
delivery code now. The *context syscalls are as of yet still
unimplemented.
Many details went into the removal of the requirement to use
contigmalloc for kernel stacks. The details are mostly CPU
specific and limited to exception_save() and exception_restore().
The few places where we create, destroy or switch stacks were
mostly simplified by not having to construct physical addresses
and additionally saving the virtual addresses for later use.
Besides more efficient context saving and restoring, which of
course yields a noticable speedup, this also fixes the dreaded
SMP bootup problem as a side-effect. The details of which are
still not fully understood.
This change includes all the necessary backward compatibility
code to have it handle older userland binaries that use the
break instruction for syscalls. Support for break-based syscalls
has been pessimized in favor of a clean implementation. Due to
the overall better performance of the kernel, this will still
be notived as an improvement if it's noticed at all.

Note that the syscall instruction clobbers %rcx, which is inconvenient
because it is the fourth syscall argument, so we use %r10 (another scratch
register) for the 4th syscall arg instead (I picked %r10 to be the same as
NetBSD). int 0x80 is still possible though, and it uses %rcx as usual.
Note that the syscall style syscall does *NOT* preserve all the registers,
unlike int 0x80. We do not preserve the scratch registers except for
%rdi and %rsi. int 0x80 does preserve everything but the return values.
