When kern_yield() was introduced with the possibility to specify
a new priority, the behaviour changed by not lowering priority at all
in the consumers, making the yielding mechanism highly ineffective for
high priority kthreads like bufdaemon, syncer, vlrudaemon, etc.
There are no evidences that consumers could bear with such change in
semantic and this situation could finally lead to bugs similar to the
ones fixed in r244240.
Re-specify userland pri for kthreads involved.

manage a set of power-of-2 sized buffers for bus_dmamem_alloc().
This allows the caller to provide the back-end allocator uma allocator,
allowing full control of the memory pages backing the pool. For
convenience, it provides an optional builtin allocator that provides pages
allocated with the VM_MEMATTR_UNCACHEABLE attribute, for managing pools of
DMA buffers for BUS_DMA_COHERENT or BUS_DMA_NOCACHE.
This also allows the caller to specify a minimum alignment, and it ensures
that all buffers start on a boundary and have a length that's a multiple of
that value, to avoid using buffers that trigger partial cache line flushes.

This fixed panic where we hold mutex (process lock) and try to obtain sleepable
lock (vnode lock in expand_name()). The panic could occur when %I was used
in kern.corefile.
Additionally we avoid expand_name() overhead when coredumps are disabled.

yields, specify the user priority for the yield. Otherwise, a
higher-priority (kernel) thread could fall into the priority-inversion
with the thread owning the mutex lock.
On single-processor machines or UP kernels, do not loop adaptively
when the next vnode cannot be locked, instead yield unconditionally.
Restructure the iteration initializer and the iterator to remove code
duplication. Put the code to fetch and lock a vnode next to the
current marker, into the mnt_vnode_next_active() function, and use it
instead of repeating the loop.

kern_yield() is problematic than.
The owned mutex is the mount interlock, and it is in fact not needed
to guarantee the stability of the mount list of active vnodes, so fix
the the issue by only taking the mount interlock for MNT_REF and
MNT_REL operations.
While there, augment the unconditional yield by some amount of
spinning [1].

- As the comment report, CALLOUT_LOCAL_ALLOC cannot be checked
directly from the callout flags but might be checked by a cached
value. Hence, do so before to actually remove the callout, when
needed, in softclock_call_cc().
- In softclock_call_cc() also add a comment in the waiting and deferred
migration case explaining that the dereference should be safe
because of the migration dereference invariants.
Additively:
- In softclock_call_cc(), for the deferred migration case, move all the
accesses to callout structure after the comment stating the callout
must not be destroyed.
- For consistency with this last tweak, use cached c_flags for the
KASSERT() in the deferred migration case. It is not strictly necessary
but this way all the callout accesses happen after the above mentioned
comment, improving consistency.

this, make softclock_call_cc() return void, since it always return

Remove the assignment of cc->cc_next from callout_cc_del(), since the

If cancelling the migration, also clear the CALLOUT_DFRMIGRATION flag.

callout is started before kern_setitimer() acquires process mutex, but
looses a race and kern_setitimer() gets the process mutex before the
callout. Then, assuming that new specified struct itimerval has
it_interval zero, but it_value non-zero, the callout, after it starts
executing again, clears p->p_realtimer.it_value, but kern_setitimer()
already rescheduled the callout.
As the result of the race, both p_realtimer is zero, and the callout
is rescheduled. Then, in the exit1(), the exit code sees that it_value
is zero and does not even try to stop the callout. This allows the
struct proc to be reused and eventually the armed callout is
re-initialized. The consequence is the corrupted callwheel tailq.
Use process mutex to interlock the callout start, which fixes the race.
