downward growing stacks more general.
Add (but don't activate) code to use the new stack facility
when running threads, (specifically the linux threads support).
This allows people to use both linux compiled linuxthreads, and also the
native FreeBSD linux-threads port.
The code is conditional on VM_STACK. Not using this will
produce the old heavily tested system.

"I've been having a problem running the patches [committed to current]
installed with the COMPAT_LINUX_THREADS option along
with the VM_STACK patches I did. I'm not sure what
the problem is, since it seemed to work before.
In any event, the attached patch fixes the problem for
me. While I've had no report of problems from anyone
else, possibly it would be wise to commit the patch
until the problem is found.
Also, there was some left-over junk in the linux_misc.c
file from some earlier work I did. The attached patch
cleans that up too."

The pointer was only wanted in one place in kern_exec.c. Applications

As a result, linux programs running in emulation mode can

for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

It can be integral or a struct in POSIX, so it is difficult to print,
but it is actually declared as unsigned long. Assume that it is
unsigned integral.
Fixed nearby bugs (in linux_alarm()):
- the itimer for the alarm was relative to the epoch instead of relative
to the boot time. This was harmless because the itimer's interval is 0.
- the seconds arg was not checked for validity before converting it to a
possibly different value.
- printf format errors.
Improvements:
Don't use splclock(). splsoftclock() suffices. Don't complicate things
by micro-optimizing interrupt latency.
Minor improvements:
Various micro-optimizations to exploit the specialness of the alarm itimer
and the value 0.
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command

"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.
Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).
A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.
Add a new nfs_curusec() function.
Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable.
Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the
one remaining call that passwd &time as args.
Change profiling in ncr.c to use ticks instead of time. Resolution is
the same.
Add new function "tvtohz()" to avoid the bogus "splfoo(), add time, call
hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.

I've worked to enhance the connect() patches.
I've just tested this with the Linux JDK appletviewer on an applet
that does a lot of connects, and it works as well as during my
previous tests.
The connect() patch is now a merge between my older patch and the
OpenBSD stuff. It ensures that any async error is returned by
connect() instead of getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR) as reasonnable
systems do.
There are also minor patches to implement IPPROTO_TCP for
get/setsocktopt(). These are also tested (with Linux Apache).

I would appreciate any feedback regarding these changes, as they'd
be very useful in 2.2.6.
