Problem:
selwakeup required calling pfind which would cause lock order
reversals with the allproc_lock and the per-process filedesc lock.
Solution:
Instead of recording the pid of the select()'ing process into the
selinfo structure, actually record a pointer to the thread. To
avoid dereferencing a bad address all the selinfo structures that
are in use by a thread are kept in a list hung off the thread
(protected by sellock). When a selwakeup occurs the selinfo is
removed from that threads list, it is also removed on the way out
of select or poll where the thread will traverse its list removing
all the selinfos from its own list.
Problem:
Previously the PROC_LOCK was used to provide the mutual exclusion
needed to ensure proper locking, this couldn't work because there
was a single condvar used for select and poll and condvars can
only be used with a single mutex.
Solution:
Introduce a global mutex 'sellock' which is used to provide mutual
exclusion when recording events to wait on as well as performing
notification when an event occurs.
Interesting note:
schedlock is required to manipulate the per-thread TDF_SELECT
flag, however if given its own field it would not need schedlock,
also because TDF_SELECT is only manipulated under sellock one
doesn't actually use schedlock for syncronization, only to protect
against corruption.
Proc locks are no longer used in select/poll.

snooped on. This causes all kinds of Bad Things(tm) to happen since
closing one session will clobber state that's needed for the other
one. This could theoretically be supported if the code was careful,
but until somebody implements that, preventing this will stop people
from unknowingly shooting themselves in the foot.
device cloned, and assign all further devices to depend on it. This
allows us to call dev_depends() on it at module unload time to get rid
of /dev/snp* (in the devfs case, anyway). For this to work, we must
not destroy the device at close time. [Idea stolen from if_tun.]
The above has the following sideaffects: (a) The snp device used by
watch(8) will remain after watch(8) exits. This is probably how it
should have been all along, and how it was before devfs came along.
(b) Module unload doesn't panic if there are any /dev/snp* devices
which haven't been used (and thus previously destroyed). Thus, we can
reenable the unload functionality disabled in rev. 1.65.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

probably harmless in this case, since the latter is called on tty
input, which is usually a result of some system call, so we've got
plenty of stack left. It's still nice to fix these things, though, in
case somebody ever decides this driver is a good example of something
(perhaps "what you probably shouldn't do").

Add a slightly different safetybelt under nostop for tty drivers.
Add some missing FreeBSD tags

d_stop moved to struct tty.
d_reset already unused.
d_devtotty linkage now provided by dev_t->si_tty.
These fields will be removed from struct cdevsw together with

The changes in this patch consist of:
initialize dev->si_tty in *_open()
initialize tty->t_stop
remove devtotty functions
rename ttpoll to ttypoll
a few adjustments to these changes in the generic code
a bump of __FreeBSD_version
add a couple of FreeBSD tags

Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)
Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c
The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.
A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.
A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().
The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.
Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c

Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".

I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the

Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.

Add new function: suser(struct proc *), prototyped in <sys/proc.h>.
3:
s/suser_xxx(\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)->p_ucred, \&\1->p_acflag)/suser(\1)/
The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with
later.
There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left

More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.

Fixed nonblocking mode. It was per-device instead of per-file.
Don't depend on gcc's misfeature of rewriting char args in old-style
