This changes the API and ABI.
o Modify system call semantics so that extattr_get_{fd,file}() return

be returned, unless the data pointer is NULL, in which case the

- Create a private list of active pmaps rather than abusing the list of all
processes when we need to look up pmaps. The process list needs a sx lock
and we can't be getting sx locks in the middle of cpu_switch()
(pmap_activate() can call pmap_get_asn() from cpu_switch()). Instead, we
protect the list with a spinlock. This also means the list is shorter
since a pmap can be used by more than one process and we could (at least
in thoery) dink with pmap's more than once, but now we only touch each
pmap once when we have to update all of them.

This change ensures that the filesystem is properly synced to disk

if the filesystem had been down-graded to read-only, the inode could
not be reclaimed, and thus was lost and had to be later recovered

mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:
The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe. Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer. This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs. Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called. (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)
I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha. I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha

this data was stored as global variables which is where the original name
came from. In an SMP world this data is per-CPU and ideally private to each
CPU outside of the context of debuggers. This also included combining

o Generally introduce mtx_lock()/mtx_unlock() calls throughout kern/
so as to enforce these protections, in particular, in kern_mib.c
protection sysctl access to the hostname and securelevel, as well as
kern_prot.c access to the securelevel for access control purposes.
o Rewrite linux emulator abstractions for accessing per-jail linux
mib entries (osname, osrelease, osversion) so that they don't return
a pointer to the text in the struct linux_prison, rather, a copy
to an array passed into the calls. Likewise, update linprocfs to
use these primitives.
o Update in_pcb.c to always use prison_getip() rather than directly
accessing struct prison.

you run out of mbuf address space.
kern/subr_mbuf.c: print a warning message when mb_alloc fails, again
rate-limited to at most once per second. This covers other
cases of mbuf allocation failures. Probably it also overlaps the
one handled in vm/vm_kern.c, so maybe the latter should go away.
This warning will let us gradually remove the printf that are scattered
across most network drivers to report mbuf allocation failures.
Those are potentially dangerous, in that they are not rate-limited and
can easily cause systems to panic.
Unless there is disagreement (which does not seem to be the case
judging from the discussion on -net so far), and because this is
sort of a safety bugfix, I plan to commit a similar change to STABLE
during the weekend (it affects kern/uipc_mbuf.c there).

It defaults to '1', which permits access, but if set to '0', requires
that the process making the sysctl() have appropriate privilege.
o Note that for this to be effective, access to this data via system
logs derived from /dev/klog must also be limited.

For an object type, we maintain a variable mb_mapfull. It is 0 by default
and is only raised to 1 in one place: when an mb_pop_cont() fails for
the first time, on the assumption that the reason for the failure is
due to the underlying map for the object (e.g. clust_map, mbuf_map) being
exhausted.
Problem and Changes:
Change how we define "mb_mapfull." It now means: "set to 1 when the first
mb_pop_cont() fails only in the kmem_malloc()-ing of the object, and
only if the call was with the M_TRYWAIT flag." This is a more conservative
definition and should avoid odd [but theoretically possible] situations
from occuring. i.e. we had set mb_mapfull to 1 thinking the map for the
object was actually exhausted when we _actually_ failed in malloc()ing
the space for the bucket structure managing the objects in the page
we're allocating.
The kernel certainly doesn't use _PATH_DEV or even /dev/ to find the device.
It cannot, since "/" has not been mounted. Maybe the only affect of using
/dev/ is that it gets put in the mounted-from name for "/", so that mount(8),
etc., display an absolute path before "/" has been remounted. Many have
never bothered typing the full path, and code that constructs a path in
rootdevnames[] never bothered to construct a full path, so the example
shouldn't have it.

vnodes. This will hopefully serve as a base from which we can
expand the MP code. We currently do not attempt to obtain any
mutex or SX locks, but the door is open to add them when we nail
down exactly how that part of it is going to work.
Replace uses of holdfp() with fget*() or fgetvp*() calls as appropriate
introduce fget(), fget_read(), fget_write() - these functions will take
a thread and file descriptor and return a file pointer with its ref
count bumped.
introduce fgetvp(), fgetvp_read(), fgetvp_write() - these functions will
take a thread and file descriptor and return a vref()'d vnode.
*_read() requires that the file pointer be FREAD, *_write that it be
FWRITE.
This continues the cleanup of struct filedesc and struct file access
routines which, when are all through with it, will allow us to then
make the API calls MP safe and be able to move Giant down into the fo_*
functions.
- Restore inferior() to being iterative rather than recursive.
- Assert that the proctree_lock is held in inferior() and change the one
caller to get a shared lock of it. This also ensures that we hold the
lock after performing the check so the check can't be made invalid out
from under us after the check but before we act on it.

Modify the nfs client side locking code to use vn_open_cred() passing
proc0's ucred instead of the old way which was to temporary raise
privs while running vn_open(). This should close the race hopefully.
as being valid. Previously only the magic number and the virtual
address were checked, but it makes little sense to require that
the virtual address is the same (the message buffer is located at
the end of physical memory), and checks on the msg_bufx and msg_bufr
indices were missing.

strategy routines turn-around and issue another high level I/O, such as
when MD turns around and issues a VOP_WRITE to vnode backing store, in order
to avoid deadlocking the dirty buffer draining code.
Remove a vprintf() warning from MD when the backing vnode is found to be
in-use. The syncer of buf_daemon could be flushing the backing vnode at
the time of an MD operation so the warning is not correct.

structure changes now rather then piecemeal later on. mnt_nvnodelist
currently holds all the vnodes under the mount point. This will eventually
be split into a 'dirty' and 'clean' list. This way we only break kld's once
rather then twice. nvnodelist will eventually turn into the dirty list
and should remain compatible with the klds.
