This works similarly to the existing gzip compression support, but
zstd is typically faster and gives better compression ratios.
Support for this functionality must be configured by adding ZSTDIO to
one's kernel configuration file. dumpon(8)'s new -Z option is used to
configure zstd compression for kernel dumps. savecore(8) now recognizes
and saves zstd-compressed kernel dumps with a .zst extension.

We currently use a set of subroutines in kern_gzio.c to perform
compression of user and kernel core dumps. In the interest of adding
support for other compression algorithms (zstd) in this role without
complicating the API consumers, add a simple compressor API which can be
used to select an algorithm.
Also change the (non-default) GZIO kernel option to not enable
compressed user cores by default. It's not clear that such a default
would be desirable with support for multiple algorithms implemented,
and it's inconsistent in that it isn't applied to kernel dumps.

The reschedule_signals() function is called when the calling thread

find a thread which might have the signal not blocked. If no such

reasonable change than to change sigtd() interface, due to other uses

When a thread enters ptracestop(), for example because it had received
SIGSTOP from ptrace(PT_ATTACH), it attempts to suspend other threads in
the same process. In the case of a thread sleeping interruptibly in an
SBDRY section, sig_suspend_threads() must wake the thread and allow it to

Suppose a traced process is stopped in ptracestop() due to receipt of a
SIGSTOP signal, and is awaiting orders from the tracing process on how
to handle the signal. Before sending any such orders, the tracing
process exits. This should kill the traced process. But suppose a second
thread handles the SIGKILL and proceeds to exit1(), calling
thread_single(). The first thread will now awaken and will have a chance
to check once more if it should go to sleep due to the SIGSTOP. It must
not sleep after P_SINGLE_EXIT has been set; this would prevent the
SIGKILL from taking effect, leaving a stopped orphan behind after the
tracing process dies.
Also add new tests for this condition.

When a thread is stopped in ptracestop(), the ptrace(2) user may request

target. Due to a way issignal() selects the next signal to deliver
and report, if the simultaneous or already pending another signal
exists, that signal might be reported by the next waitpid(2) call.
This causes minor annoyance for debuggers, which must be prepared to
take any signal as the first event, then filter SIGSTOP later.
More importantly, for tools like gcore(1), which attach and then
detach without processing events, SIGSTOP might leak to be delivered
after PT_DETACH. This results in the process being unintentionally
stopped after detach, which is fatal for automatic tools.
The solution is to force SIGSTOP to be the first signal reported after
the attach. Attach code is modified to set P2_PTRACE_FSTP to indicate
that the attaching ritual was not yet finished, and issignal() prefers
SIGSTOP in that condition. Also, the thread which handles
P2_PTRACE_FSTP is made to guarantee to own p_xthread during the first
waitpid(2). All that ensures that SIGSTOP is consumed first.
Additionally, if P2_PTRACE_FSTP is still set on detach, which means
that waitpid(2) was not called at all, SIGSTOP is removed from the
queue, ensuring that the process is resumed on detach.
In issignal(), when acting on STOPing signals, remove the signal from
queue before suspending. Otherwise parallel attach could result in
ptracestop() acting on that STOP as if it was the STOP signal from the
attach. Then SIGSTOP from attach leaks again.
As a minor refactoring, some bits of the common attach code is moved
to new helper proc_set_traced().

ptrace() now stores a mask of optional events in p_ptevents. Currently
this mask is a single integer, but it can be expanded into an array of
integers in the future.
Two new ptrace requests can be used to manipulate the event mask:
PT_GET_EVENT_MASK fetches the current event mask and PT_SET_EVENT_MASK
sets the current event mask.
The current set of events include:
- PTRACE_EXEC: trace calls to execve().
- PTRACE_SCE: trace system call entries.
- PTRACE_SCX: trace syscam call exits.
- PTRACE_FORK: trace forks and auto-attach to new child processes.
- PTRACE_LWP: trace LWP events.
The S_PT_SCX and S_PT_SCE events in the procfs p_stops flags have
been replaced by PTRACE_SCE and PTRACE_SCX. PTRACE_FORK replaces
P_FOLLOW_FORK and PTRACE_LWP replaces P2_LWP_EVENTS.
The PT_FOLLOW_FORK and PT_LWP_EVENTS ptrace requests remain for
compatibility but now simply toggle corresponding flags in the
event mask.
While here, document that PT_SYSCALL, PT_TO_SCE, and PT_TO_SCX both
modify the event mask and continue the traced process.

exiting (NOTE_EXIT->knlist_remove_inevent()), two things happen:
- knote kn_knlist pointer is reset
- INFLUX knote is removed from the process knlist.
And, there are two consequences:
- KN_LIST_UNLOCK() on such knote is nop
- there is nothing which would block exit1() from processing past the
knlist_destroy() (and knlist_destroy() resets knlist lock pointers).
Both consequences result either in leaked process lock, or
dereferencing NULL function pointers for locking.
Handle this by stopping embedding the process knlist into struct proc.
Instead, the knlist is allocated together with struct proc, but marked
as autodestroy on the zombie reap, by knlist_detach() function. The
knlist is freed when last kevent is removed from the list, in
particular, at the zombie reap time if the list is empty. As result,
the knlist_remove_inevent() is no longer needed and removed.
Other changes:
In filt_procattach(), clear NOTE_EXEC and NOTE_FORK desired events
from kn_sfflags for knote registered by kernel to only get NOTE_CHILD
notifications. The flags leak resulted in excessive
NOTE_EXEC/NOTE_FORK reports.
Fix immediate note activation in filt_procattach(). Condition should
be either the immediate CHILD_NOTE activation, or immediate NOTE_EXIT
report for the exiting process.
In knote_fork(), do not perform racy check for KN_INFLUX before kq
lock is taken. Besides being racy, it did not accounted for notes
just added by scan (KN_SCAN).

Code needing to look at process's credentials (as opposed to thred's) is

Places which possibly had to take the proc lock anyway still use the proc
pointer to access limits.
tdsigwakeup() increases the priority of the low-priority threads, to
give them a chance to be terminated timely. Also, kernel allows user
to signal kernel processes. The combined effect is that signalling
idle process bump a priority of the selected delivery thread, which
starts eating CPU.
Check for the delivery thread be an idle thread and do not raise its
priority then.
The signal delivery to the kernel threads must be opt-in feature.
Kernel thread should explicitely declare the ability to handle signals
directed to it. E.g., nfsd threads check for signal as an indication
of exit request.
Most threads do not handle signals at all, and queuing the signal to
them causes odd side-effects. Most innocent consequence is the memory
leak due to queued ksiginfo, which is never deleted from the sigqueue.
Code to prevent even queuing signals to the kernel threads is trivial,
but it requires careful examination of each call to kproc/kthread
creation to decide should the signalling be allowed. The commit is a
stop-gap measure which fixes the immediate case for now.
