Correct a bug that should have wreaked havoc everywhere, but for
some reason only bit unlucky people who use `-march' optimizations.
The compiler cannot assist one in distinguishing between the two
function calls below.
int nsdispatch(void *, ...);
void *discard;
nsdispatch(&discard, ...); /* correct .. no, really! */
nsdispatch(discard, ...); /* Boom */
Robin provided me with a debugging environment in which I could see
what was going on.

The only place where we want to not hold topology is when we read
(or write) the label to disk: in the case of a disk error with a
long recovery time, holding topology would prevent open/close of
any disk device.
rename them appropriately. Protect both flags with both the proc lock
and the sched_lock.
- Protect p_profthreads with the proc lock.
- Remove Giant from profil(2).
- For the 4BSD scheduler, this means that all callers of the static
function resetpriority() now always hold sched_lock, so don't lock
sched_lock explicitly in that function.
kg_nice is now protected by both. Being protected by both means that
other places in the kernel that want to read kg_nice only need one of the
two locks.

In order to test this on a single CPU machine, you need to:
sysctl kern.threads.debug=1
sysctl kern.threads.virtual_cpu=2
lock level is 0. Thus far, the threads implementation doesn't use
mutexes or condition variables so the lock level should be 0.
Save the return value when trying to schedule a new thread and
use this to return an error from pthread_create().
Change the max sleep time for an idle KSE to 1 minute from 2 minutes.
Maintain a count of the number of KSEs within a KSEG.
With these changes scope system threads seem to work, but heavy
use of them crash the kernel (supposedly VM bugs).
race where a thread could assume that a process was swapped in by
PHOLD() when it actually wasn't fully swapped in yet.
- In faultin(), always msleep() if PS_SWAPPINGIN is set instead of doing
this check after bumping p_lock in the PS_INMEM == 0 case. Also,
sched_lock is only needed for setting and clearning swapping PS_*
flags and the swap thread inhibitor.
- Don't set and clear the thread swap inhibitor in the same loops as the
pmap_swapin/out_thread() since we have to do it under sched_lock.
Instead, mimic the treatment of the PS_INMEM flag and use separate loops
to set the inhibitors when clearing PS_INMEM and clear the inhibitors
when setting PS_INMEM.
- swapout() now returns with the proc lock held as it holds the lock
while adjusting the swapping-related PS_* flags so that the proc lock
can be used to test those flags.
- Only use the proc lock to check the swapping-related PS_* flags in
several places.
- faultin() no longer requires sched_lock to be held by callers.
- Rename PS_SWAPPING to PS_SWAPPINGOUT to be less ambiguous now that we
have PS_SWAPPINGIN.
their prototypes.
- Remove sched_lock locking from kse_purge() as all callers already lock
the sched_lock before calling it.
- Hold the proc lock slightly longer to protect P_SHOULDSTOP().
or sched_lock are sufficient to test this flag.
XXX: vinum should really be using a kernel process via kthread_create()
instead of this hack. I'm not even sure PS_INMEM can be clear at this
point anyways.
kern_sigprocmask() in the various binary compatibility emulators.
- Replace calls to sigsuspend(), sigaltstack(), sigaction(), and
sigprocmask() that used the stackgap with calls to the corresponding
kern_sig*() functions instead without using the stackgap.
OBJS list. This is needed to crunch any program that relies on the
correct .CURDIR setting, e.g. src/bin/csh.
