1. Process p1 is currently being swapped in.
2. Process p2 calls linux_ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, p1_pid, ...)
3. After acquiring a reference to FIRST_THREAD_IN_PROC(p1),
p2 blocks in faultin() while p1 finishes being swapped in.
This means p2 won't get back the lock on p1 until after p1's
threads are runnable.
4. After p1 is swapped in, the first thread in p1 exits.
5. p2 now uses its dangling reference to p1's first thread.
after loading such a kernel, "module_path" will be set to

setting. For the record, when automatically loading a
kernel (commands "boot" and "boot-conf"), the following is
tried, in this order:
path=/boot/${kernel} file=${bootfile}
path=/boot/${kernel} file=${kernel}

MP machines (hopefully). CPU timers are OK on UP machines but we
don't keep the timers in sync on MP machines so if the CPU's timer
is chosen as the primary timecounter it's possible for time to
not be monotonically increasing because different CPU's counters
may be used at different times. But the CPU's counters are otherwise
one of the higher quality counters available. So, on UP machines
we'll use a relatively high quality value but on MP machines we'll
use a quality that should prevent the CPU's counters from being chosen.

the new subr_unit.c code.
For now assert Giant in ttycreate() and ttyfree(). It is not obvious that
it will ever pay off to lock these with anything else.
Allocation is always lowest free unit number.
A mixed range/bitmap strategy for maximum memory efficiency. In
the typical case where no unit numbers are freed total memory usage
is 56 bytes on i386.
malloc is called M_WAITOK but no locking is provided (yet). A bit of
experience will be necessary to determine the best strategy. Hopefully
a "caller provides locking" strategy can be maintained, but that may
require use of M_NOWAIT allocation and failure handling.
A userland test driver is included.

pmap_copy(). This entails additional locking in pmap_copy() and the
addition of a "flags" parameter to the page table page allocator for
specifying whether it may sleep when memory is unavailable. (Already,
pmap_copy() checks the availability of memory, aborting if it is scarce.
In theory, another CPU could, however, allocate memory between
pmap_copy()'s check and the call to the page table page allocator,
causing the current thread to release its locks and sleep. This change
makes this scenario impossible.)

to make sure the pipe is ready. Some devices apparently don't support
the clear stall command however. So what happens when you issue such
devices a clear stall command? Typically, the command just times out.
This, at least, is the behavior I've observed with two devices that
I own: a Rio600 mp3 player and a T-Mobile Sidekick II.
It used to be that after the timeout expired, the pipe open operation
would conclude and you could still access the device, with the only
negative effect being a long delay on open. But in the recent past,
someone added code to make the timeout a fatal error, thereby breaking
the ability to communicate with these devices in any way.
I don't know exactly what the right solution is for this problem:
presumeably there is some way to determine whether or not a device
supports the 'clear stall' command beyond just issuing one and waiting
to see if it times out, but I don't know what that is. So for now,
I've added a special case to the error checking code so that the
timeout is once again non-fatal, thereby letting me use my two
devices again.
passing along socket information. This is required to work around a LOR with
the socket code which results in an easy reproducible hard lockup with
debug.mpsafenet=1. This commit does *not* fix the LOR, but enables us to do
so later. The missing piece is to turn the filter locking into a leaf lock
and will follow in a seperate (later) commit.
This will hopefully be MT5'ed in order to fix the problem for RELENG_5 in
forseeable future.

This changes the naming of USB serial devices to: /dev/ttyU%d and
/dev/cuaU%d for call-in and call-out devices respectively. (Please
notice: capital 'U')
Please also note that we now have .init and .lock devices for USB
serial ports. These are not persistent across device removal. devd(8)
can be used to configure them on attachment time.
These changes also improve the chances of the system surviving if
the USB device is unplugged at an inconvenient time. At least we
do not rip things apart while there are any threads in the device
driver anymore.
Remove cdevsw, rely on the tty generic one.
Don't make_dev(), use ttycreate() which does all the magic.
In detach, do close procesing if we ripped things apart

select(2), and discovered to my horror that ugen(4)'s bulk in/out support
is horribly lobotomized. Bulk transfers are done using the synchronous
API instead of the asynchronous one. This causes the following broken
behavior to occur:
- You open the bulk in/out ugen device and get a descriptor
- You create some other descriptor (socket, other device, etc...)
- You select on both the descriptors waiting until either one has
data ready to read
- Because of ugen's brokenness, you block in usb_bulk_transfer() inside
ugen_do_read() instead of blocking in select()
- The non-USB descriptor becomes ready for reading, but you remain blocked
on select()
- The USB descriptor becomes ready for reading
- Only now are you woken up so that you can ready data from either
descriptor.
The result is select() can only wake up when there's USB data pending. If
any other descriptor becomes ready, you lose: until the USB descriptor
becomes ready, you stay asleep.
The correct approach is to use async bulk transfers, so I changed
the read code to use the async bulk transfer API. I left the write
side alone for now since it's less of an issue.
Note that the uscanner driver has the same brokenness in it.
