shared signal handling when there is shared signal handling being
used.
This removes the main objection to making the shared signal handling
a standard ability in rfork() and friends and 'unconditionalising'
this code. (i.e. the allocation of an extra 328 bytes per process).
Signal handling information remains in the U area until such a time as
it's reference count would be incremented to > 1. At that point a new
struct is malloc'd and maintained in KVM so that it can be shared between
the processes (threads) using it.
A function to check the reference count and move the struct back to the U
area when it drops back to 1 is also supplied. Signal information is
therefore now swapable for all processes that are not sharing that
information with other processes. THis should addres the concerns raised
by Garrett and others.

check off SYSINIT entries as they are run, and when more arrive, we re-sort
and restart (skipping the already-run entries).
This can *only* be done after KMEM (and malloc) is up and running - this is
fine because KLD is the only consumer of this and it's done after that.
The nice thing about this is that the SYSINIT's within preloaded KLD modules
are executed in their natural order. It should be possible to register
devices for the probes which follow, etc. (soon.. several key things
prevent this, such as use of linker sets for things like pci devices).
Fixed bitrot in K&R support (suword() now takes a long word).
Didn't fix corresponding bitrot in store.9 and fetch.9.
The correct types for the store and fetch families are problematic.
The `word' functions are unfortunately named and need to be split
to handle ints/longs/object pointers/function pointers. Storing
argv[] as longs is quite broken when longs are longer than pointers,
but usually works because it clobbers variables that will soon be
reinitialized.

Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.

Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid

Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()
This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

If you want to play with it, you can find the final version of the

If somebody makes LFS work again, adding it back is certainly

and it has suffered considerable bitrot since its somewhat haphazard
integration.
R.I.P
1) Start using TSM.
Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed.
Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack.
u_map is now superfluous.
2) vm_map's don't need to be reference counted. They always exist either
in the kernel or in a vmspace. The vmspaces are managed by reference
counts.
3) Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense.
4) No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's.
5) Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++.
6) Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator. Added
struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode. This saves a significant
amount of kva space and physical memory. Additionally, this enables
TSM for the zone managed memory.
7) Keep ioopt disabled for now.
8) Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept.
9) Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where
it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where
blocking might occur.
10) Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able
to make enough memory available (experimental.)
11) Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.)
12) Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp.
(experimental.)
13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c
code. Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations,
and clean up the cluster code.
14) Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM.
This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from
other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I
have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.)
This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary
step. Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and
there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of
non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)
noticed some major enhancements available for UP situations. The number
of UP TLB flushes is decreased much more than significantly with these
changes. Since a TLB flush appears to cost minimally approx 80 cycles,
this is a "nice" enhancement, equiv to eliminating between 40 and 160
instructions per TLB flush.
Changes include making sure that kernel threads all use the same PTD,
and eliminate unneeded PTD switches at context switch time.

Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks".
A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely
during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once
interrupt services are available. This callback will occur before
the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration
task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete
any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init.
System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered. The
hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task
is complete or the system boot can continue.

Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout
service. The new implemntaion is based on the work of
Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical
report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities".
The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one
outlined in the paper. The new function prototypes are:
struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *),
void *arg, int ticks);
void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg,
struct callout_handle handle);
If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the
callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout.
The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts
making this interface scale well even for applications that
keep 100s of callouts outstanding.
See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details.
- We now have enough per-cpu idle context, the real idle loop has been
revived (cpu's halt now with nothing to do).
- Some preliminary support for running some operations outside the
global lock (eg: zeroing "free but not yet zeroed pages") is present
but appears to cause problems. Off by default.
- the smp_active sysctl now behaves differently. It's merely a 'true/false'
option. Setting smp_active to zero causes the AP's to halt in the idle
loop and stop scheduling processes.
- bootstrap is a lot safer. Instead of sharing a statically compiled in
stack a number of times (which has caused lots of problems) and then
abandoning it, we use the idle context to boot the AP's directly. This
should help >2 cpu support since the bootlock stuff was in doubt.
- print physical apic id in traps.. helps identify private pages getting
out of sync. (You don't want to know how much hair I tore out with this!)
More cleanup to follow, this is more of a checkpoint than a
'finished' thing.
We now tsleep() in kthread_init() between start_init()
and prepare_usermode() while waiting for ALL the idle_loop()
processes to come online.

There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is

Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()
and allow the child to return up through the function call tree to return
to user mode - create a new execution context and have the new process
begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer
to each process's tss since the esp0 pointer is a 32 bit pointer, and the
sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.

Set PG_G on the UPAGES that are now in kernel context, and invalidate
them when swapping them out.
Move the upages object (upobj) from the vmspace to the proc structure.
Now that the UPAGES (pcb and kernel stack) are out of user space, make
rfork(..RFMEM..) do what was intended by sharing the vmspace
entirely via reference counting rather than simply inheriting the mappings.
