PCATCH means 'if we get a signal, interrupt me!" and tsleep returns
either EINTR or ERESTART depending on the circumstances. ERESTART is
"special" because it causes the system call to fail, but right as it
returns back to userland it tells the trap handler to move %eip back a
bit so that userland will immediately re-run the syscall.
This is a syscall restart. It only works for things like read() etc where
nothing has changed yet. Note that *userland* is tricked into restarting
the syscall by the kernel. The kernel doesn't actually do the restart. It
is deadly for things like select, poll, nanosleep etc where it might cause
the elapsed time to be reset and start again from scratch. So those
syscalls do this to prevent userland rerunning the syscall:
if (error == ERESTART) error = EINTR;
Fake "signals" like SIGTSTP from ^Z etc do not normally invoke userland
signal handlers. But, in -current, the PCATCH *is* being triggered and
tsleep is returning ERESTART, and the syscall is aborted even though no
userland signal handler was run.
That is the fault here. We're triggering the PCATCH in cases that we
shouldn't. ie: it is being triggered on *any* signal processing, rather
than the case where the signal is posted to userland.

in STABLE source, when psignal is posting a STOP signal to sleeping
process and the signal action of the process is SIG_DFL, system will
directly change the process state from SSLEEP to SSTOP, and when
SIGCONT is posted to the stopped process, if it finds that the process
is still on sleep queue, the process state will be restored to SSLEEP,
and won't wakeup the process.
this commit mimics the behaviour in STABLE source tree.

a kernel-internal kern_*() version and a wrapper that is called via
the syscall vector table. For paths and structure pointers, the
internal version either takes a uio_seg parameter or requires the
caller to copyin() the data to kernel memory as appropiate. This
will permit emulation layers to use these syscalls without having
to copy out translated arguments to the stack gap.

- Defer other blocking operations such as vrele()'s until after we
release locks.
- execsigs() now requires the proc lock to be held when it is called
rather than locking the process internally.
Turn the sigio sx into a mutex.
Sigio lock is really only needed to protect interrupts from dereferencing
the sigio pointer in an object when the sigio itself is being destroyed.
In order to do this in the most unintrusive manner change pgsigio's
sigio * argument into a **, that way we can lock internally to the
function.
SIGCHLD handler is SIG_IGN. This is a reimplementation of the
problematic revision 1.131 of kern_exit.c. To avoid accessing process
UPAGES, we set a new procsig flag when the SIGCHLD handler is SIG_IGN
and use that instead.
we can use td_ucred.
- In killpg1(), the proc lock is sufficient to check if p_stat is SZOMB
or not. We don't need sched_lock.
- Close some races in psignal(). In psignal() there is a big switch
statement based on p_stat. All the different cases are assuming that
the process (or thread) isn't going to change state out from under it.
To ensure this is true, just lock sched_lock for the entire switch. We
practically held it the entire time already anyways. This also
simplifies the locking somewhat and actually results in fewer lock
operations.
- Allow signotify() to be called with the sched_lock held since psignal()
now does that.
- Use td_ucred in a couple of places.
they aren't in the usual path of execution for syscalls and traps.
The main complication for this is that we have to set flags to control

macro. As a result, mandatory signal delivery policies will be
applied consistently across the kernel.
- Note that this subtly changes the protection semantics, and we should
watch out for any resulting breakage. Previously, delivery of SIGIO
in this circumstance was limited to situations where the subject was
privileged, or where one of the subject's (ruid, euid) matched one
of the object's (ruid, euid). In the new scenario, subject (ruid, euid)
are matched against the object's (ruid, svuid), and the object uid's
must be a subset of the subject uid's. Likewise, jail now affects
delivery, and special handling for P_SUGID of the object is present.
This change can always be reversed or tweaked if it proves to disrupt
application behavior substantially.

mutex releases to not require flags for the cases when preemption is
not allowed:
The purpose of the MTX_NOSWITCH and SWI_NOSWITCH flags is to prevent
switching to a higher priority thread on mutex releease and swi schedule,
respectively when that switch is not safe. Now that the critical section
API maintains a per-thread nesting count, the kernel can easily check
whether or not it should switch without relying on flags from the
programmer. This fixes a few bugs in that all current callers of
swi_sched() used SWI_NOSWITCH, when in fact, only the ones called from
fast interrupt handlers and the swi_sched of softclock needed this flag.
Note that to ensure that swi_sched()'s in clock and fast interrupt
handlers do not switch, these handlers have to be explicitly wrapped
in critical_enter/exit pairs. Presently, just wrapping the handlers is
sufficient, but in the future with the fully preemptive kernel, the
interrupt must be EOI'd before critical_exit() is called. (critical_exit()
can switch due to a deferred preemption in a fully preemptive kernel.)
I've tested the changes to the interrupt code on i386 and alpha. I have
not tested ia64, but the interrupt code is almost identical to the alpha
code, so I expect it will work fine. PowerPC and ARM do not yet have
interrupt code in the tree so they shouldn't be broken. Sparc64 is
broken, but that's been ok'd by jake and tmm who will be fixing the
interrupt code for sparc64 shortly.
