RLIMIT_MEMLOCK results in ENOMEM, not EAGAIN.

e95ff34dac Merger of the quota64 project into head.
This joint work of Dag-Erling Smørgrav and myself updates the
FFS quota system to support both traditional 32-bit and new 64-bit
quotas (for those of you who want to put 2+Tb quotas on your users).

By default quotas are not compiled into the kernel. To include them
in your kernel configuration you need to specify:

options         QUOTA                   # Enable FFS quotas

If you are already running with the current 32-bit quotas, they
should continue to work just as they have in the past. If you
wish to convert to using 64-bit quotas, use `quotacheck -c 64';
if you wish to revert from 64-bit quotas back to 32-bit quotas,
use `quotacheck -c 32'.

There is a new library of functions to simplify the use of the
quota system, do `man quotafile' for details. If your application
is currently using the quotactl(2), it is highly recommended that
you convert your application to use the quotafile interface.
Note that existing binaries will continue to work.

Special thanks to John Kozubik of rsync.net for getting me
interested in pursuing 64-bit quota support and for funding
part of my development time on this project.

37abb66e2f Update xrefs from 4.3BSD to modern signal functions in various man pages.
sigvec(2) references have been updated to sigaction(2), sigsetmask(2) and
sigblock(2) to sigprocmask(2), sigpause(2) to sigsuspend(2).

Some legacy man pages still refer to them, that is OK.

b8933dba5f sigaltstack(2): document some modernizations:
* un-document 'struct sigaltstack' tag for stack_t as this is BSD-specific;
  this doesn't seem useful enough to document as such
* alternate stacks are per thread, not per process
* update error codes to what the kernel does and POSIX requires

4f08ecd7ed Rename st_*timespec fields to st_*tim for POSIX 2008 compliance.
A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.

This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.

I am also renaming st_birthtime to st_birthtim, even though it was a
local extension anyway. It seems Cygwin also has a st_birthtim.

According to POSIX open() must return ENOTDIR when the path name does

08e5013938 Current pselect(3) is implemented in usermode and thus vulnerable to
well-known race condition, which elimination was the reason for the
function appearance in first place. If sigmask supplied as argument to
pselect() enables a signal, the signal might be delivered before thread
called select(2), causing lost wakeup. Reimplement pselect() in kernel,
making change of sigmask and sleep atomic.

Since signal shall be delivered to the usermode, but sigmask restored,
set TDP_OLDMASK and save old mask in td_oldsigmask. The TDP_OLDMASK
should be cleared by ast() in case signal was not gelivered during
syscall execution.
