Previously, symlinks in FreeBSD were artificially limited to PATH_MAX-2.
Add a short test case to verify the change.

This shortens the lock hold time while not affecting corretness.
All the woken up threads end up competing can lose the race against
a completely unrelated thread getting the lock anyway.
clock_ts_to_ct has a KASSERT that the converted year fits into four
digits. By default (sysctl debug.allow_insane_settime is 0) the kernel
disallows a time too far in the future, using a value of 9999 366-day
years. However, clock_settime is epoch-relative and the assertion will
fail with a tv_sec corresponding to some 8030 years.
Avoid trying to be too clever, and just use a limit of 8000 365-day
years past the epoch.

The PT_DETACH case above the sendsig: label already looped over all
threads clearing flags in td_dbgflags. Reuse this loop to clear
TDB_SUSPEND and move the logic out of the sendsig: block.
Most of the conditionals in the 'sendsig:' block are now only different
for PT_ATTACH vs other continue requests. Pull the PT_ATTACH-specific
logic up into the PT_ATTACH case and simplify the 'sendsig:' block. This
also permits moving the unlock of proctree_lock above the sendsig: label
since PT_KILL doesn't hold the lock and and the other cases all fall
through to the label.

This fixes a panic when attaching to an already-stopped process after
r325028. While here, clean up a few other things in the control flow
of the 'sendsig' section:
- Only check for P_STOPPED_TRACE rather than either of P_STOPPED_SIG
or P_STOPPED_TRACE for most ptrace requests. The signal handling
code in kern_sig.c never sets just P_STOPPED_SIG for a traced
process, so if P_STOPPED_SIG is stopped, P_STOPPED_TRACE should be
set anyway. Remove a related debug printf. Assuming P_STOPPED_TRACE
permits simplifications in the 'sendsig:' block.
- Move the block to clear the pending thread state up into a new
block conditional on P_STOPPED_TRACE and handle delivering pending
signals to the reporting thread and clearing the reporting thread's
state in this block.
- Consolidate case to send a signal to the process in a single case
for PT_ATTACH. The only case that could have been in the else before
was a PT_ATTACH where P_STOPPED_SIG was not set, so both instances
of kern_psignal() collapse down to just PT_ATTACH.

This introduces a facility to EVENTHANDLER(9) for explicitly defining a
reference to an event handler list. This is useful since previously all
invokers of events had to do a locked traversal of the global list of
event handler lists in order to find the appropriate event handler list.
By keeping a pointer to the appropriate list an invoker can avoid this
traversal completely. The pointer is initialized with SYSINIT(9) during
the eventhandler stage. Users registering interest in events do not need
to know if the event is backed by such a list, since the list is added
to the global list of lists. As with lists that are not pre-defined it
is safe to register for the events before the list has been created.
This converts the process_* and thread_* events to using the new
facility, as these are events whose locked traversals end up showing up
significantly in ports build workflows (and presumably other workflows
with many short lived threads/procs). It may be advantageous to convert
other events to using the new facility.
The el_flags field is now unused, but leave it be so that this revision
can be MFC'd.

similar to the kernel memory allocator.
This simplifies NUMA allocation because the domain will be known at wait
time and races between failure and sleeping are eliminated. This also
reduces boilerplate code and simplifies callers.
A wait primitive is supplied for uma zones for similar reasons. This
eliminates some non-specific VM_WAIT calls in favor of more explicit
sleeps that may be satisfied without new pages.

Since the case of an empty chain was already covered, it si very likely
that the existing entry is matching. Skipping readlocking saves on lock
upgrade.
It is used on each new entry addition to decide whether to whack an existing
negative entry in order to prevent a blow out in size, but the parameter was
set years ago and never revisited.
Building with poudriere results in about 400 evictions per second which
unnecessarily grab entries from the hot list.
With the new parameter there are next to no evictions of the sort.
When multiple threads wish to report a tracing event to a debugger,
both threads call ptracestop() and one thread will win the race to be
the reporting thread (p->p_xthread). The debugger uses PT_LWPINFO
with the process ID to determine which thread / LWP is reporting an
event and the details of that event. This event is cleared as a side
effect of the subsequent ptrace event that resumed the process
(PT_CONTINUE, PT_STEP, etc.). However, ptrace() was clearing the
event identified by the LWP ID passed to the resume request even if
that wasn't the 'p_xthread'. This could result in clearing an event
that had not yet been observed by the debugger and leaving the
existing event for 'p_thread' pending so that it was reported a second
time.
Specifically, if the debugger stopped due to a software breakpoint in
one thread, but then switched to another thread that was used to
resume (e.g. if the user switched to a different thread and issued a
step), the resume request (PT_STEP) cleared a pending event (if any)
for the thread being stepped. However, the process immediately
stopped and the first thread reported it's breakpoint event a second
time. The debugger decremented the PC for "both" breakpoint events
which resulted in the PC now pointing into the middle of an
instruction (on x86) and a SIGILL fault when the process was resumed a
second time.
To fix, always clear the pending event for 'p_xthread' when resuming a
process. ptrace() still honors the requested LWP ID when enabling
single-stepping (PT_STEP) or setting a different PC (PT_CONTINUE).
