better idea.

The thread "extra argument" for the lockmgr interface is going to be
removed in the near future, but for the moment, just let kernel run for
some days with this check on in order to find potential deadlocking
places around the kernel and fix them.
p_candebug() will return EAGAIN which, if the other process never
leaves execve(), will result in the sysctl spinning and never returning
to userspace. Processes should always eventually leave execve(), but
spinning in kernel while we wait is bad for countless reasons, and
particularly harmful if execve() itself is deadlocked.
Possibly we should return another error, or return a marker indicating
the thread is in execve() so it can be reported that way in userspace.

mounted FS' problems. These are more along the lines of 'avoiding an
avoidable panic' than a complete solution to removable devices. We
now close the barn door after the horse has gotten lose and has been
hit by a truck, as it were. The barn no longer catches fire in this
case, but the horse is still dead :-).
The vfs_bio.c fix causes us not to put a failed write back into the
dirty pool if the error returned was ENXIO. In that case, the buffer
is treated like any other clean buffer that's being retured. ENXIO
means the device isn't there anymore and will never be there again in
the future, so retrying is futile.
The vfs_mount.c fix treats 'ENXIO' as success for unmounting a file
system. If the device is gone, retrying later won't help and we'll
never be able to unmount the device.
These two are part of a larger patch set submitted by the author. The
other patches will be forth coming. I added comments to these two

dump using mechanically generated/extracted debugging output rather than
a simple memory dump. Current sources of debugging output are:
- DDB output capture buffer, if there is captured output to save
- Kernel message buffer
- Kernel configuration, if included in kernel
- Kernel version string
- Panic message
Textdumps are stored in swap/dump partitions as with regular dumps, but
are laid out as ustar files in order to allow multiple parts to be stored
as a stream of sequentially written blocks. Blocks are written out in
reverse order, as the size of a textdump isn't known a priori. As with
regular dumps, they will be extracted using savecore(8).
One new DDB(4) command is added, "textdump", which accepts "set",
"unset", and "status" arguments. By default, normal kernel dumps are
generated unless "textdump set" is run in order to schedule a textdump.
It can be canceled using "textdump unset" to restore generation of a
normal kernel dump.
Several sysctls exist to configure aspects of textdumps;
debug.ddb.textdump.pending can be set to check whether a textdump is
pending, or set/unset in order to control whether the next kernel dump
will be a textdump from userspace.
While textdumps don't have to be generated as a result of a DDB script
run automatically as part of a kernel panic, this is a particular useful
way to use them, as instead of generating a complete memory dump, a
simple transcript of an automated DDB session can be captured using the
DDB output capture and textdump facilities. This can be used to
generate quite brief kernel bug reports rich in debugging information
but not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely synchronized
source code. Most textdumps I generate are less than 100k including
the full message buffer. Using textdumps with an interactive debugging
session is also useful, with capture being enabled/disabled in order to
record some but not all of the DDB session.

mtx pool mutexes were chosen to preserve api compatibility with

This sysctl is present if either "options DDB" or "options STACK" is
compiled into the kernel. Having support for tracing the kernel
stacks of processes from user space makes it much easier to debug
(or understand) specific wmesg's while avoiding the need to enter
DDB in order to determine the path by which a process came to be
blocked on a particular wait channel or lock.

with existing users of stack(9).
Add new stack_save_td(9) function, which allows the capture of a stacktrace
of another thread rather than the current thread, which the existing
stack_save(9) was limited to. It requires that the thread be neither
swapped out nor running, which is the responsibility of the consumer to
enforce.
