The snp_target == NULL implies the snp_tty == NULL. Remove the code
that is put under snp_target == NULL and snp_tty != NULL clause.
In snpclose(), do the snp_detach() before scheduling the snp device
destruction. Otherwise, after the return from snpclose(), the snp
device is already removed from the snp_list, but tty is still in
snooped state. Any attempt to do i/o on such tty cause panic because
ttytosnp() returns NULL.

event handler, dev_clone, which accepts a credential argument.
Implementors of the event can ignore it if they're not interested,
and most do. This avoids having multiple event handler types and
fall-back/precedence logic in devfs.
This changes the kernel API for /dev cloning, and may affect third

We need the ttyopen() and ttyclose() for the new generic cdevsw

A number of modules return EINVAL in this instance, and I have left
those alone for now and instead taught MOD_QUIESCE to accept this
as "didn't do anything".
The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.
Remove the unused second argument from udev2dev().
Convert all remaining users of makedev() to use udev2dev(). The
semantic difference is that udev2dev() will only locate a pre-existing
dev_t, it will not line makedev() create a new one.
Apart from the tiny well controlled windown in D_PSEUDO drivers,
there should no longer be any "anonymous" dev_t's in the system
now, only dev_t's created with make_dev() and make_dev_alias()
Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
This commit adds a couple of functions for pseudodrivers to use for
implementing cloning in a manner we will be able to lock down (shortly).
Basically what happens is that pseudo drivers get a way to ask for
"give me the dev_t with this unit number" or alternatively "give
me a dev_t with the lowest guaranteed free unit number" (there is
unfortunately a lot of non-POLA in the exact numeric value of this
number, just live with it for now)
Managing the unit number space this way removes the need to use
rman(9) to do so in the drivers this greatly simplifies the code in
the drivers because even using rman(9) they still needed to manage
their dev_t's anyway.
I have taken the if_tun, if_tap, snp and nmdm drivers through the
mill, partly because they (ab)used makedev(), but mostly because
together they represent three different problems for device-cloning:
if_tun and snp is the plain case: just give me a device.
if_tap has two kinds of devices, with a flag for device type.
nmdm has paired devices (ala pty) can you can clone either of them.
thread being waken up. The thread waken up can run at a priority as
high as after tsleep().
- Replace selwakeup()s with selwakeuppri()s and pass appropriate
priorities.
- Add cv_broadcastpri() which raises the priority of the broadcast
threads. Used by selwakeuppri() if collision occurs.

Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

Problem:
selwakeup required calling pfind which would cause lock order
reversals with the allproc_lock and the per-process filedesc lock.
Solution:
Instead of recording the pid of the select()'ing process into the
selinfo structure, actually record a pointer to the thread. To
avoid dereferencing a bad address all the selinfo structures that
are in use by a thread are kept in a list hung off the thread
(protected by sellock). When a selwakeup occurs the selinfo is
removed from that threads list, it is also removed on the way out
of select or poll where the thread will traverse its list removing
all the selinfos from its own list.
Problem:
Previously the PROC_LOCK was used to provide the mutual exclusion
needed to ensure proper locking, this couldn't work because there
was a single condvar used for select and poll and condvars can
only be used with a single mutex.
Solution:
Introduce a global mutex 'sellock' which is used to provide mutual
exclusion when recording events to wait on as well as performing
notification when an event occurs.
Interesting note:
schedlock is required to manipulate the per-thread TDF_SELECT
flag, however if given its own field it would not need schedlock,
also because TDF_SELECT is only manipulated under sellock one
doesn't actually use schedlock for syncronization, only to protect
against corruption.
Proc locks are no longer used in select/poll.

snooped on. This causes all kinds of Bad Things(tm) to happen since
closing one session will clobber state that's needed for the other
one. This could theoretically be supported if the code was careful,
but until somebody implements that, preventing this will stop people
from unknowingly shooting themselves in the foot.
device cloned, and assign all further devices to depend on it. This
allows us to call dev_depends() on it at module unload time to get rid
of /dev/snp* (in the devfs case, anyway). For this to work, we must
not destroy the device at close time. [Idea stolen from if_tun.]
The above has the following sideaffects: (a) The snp device used by
watch(8) will remain after watch(8) exits. This is probably how it
should have been all along, and how it was before devfs came along.
(b) Module unload doesn't panic if there are any /dev/snp* devices
which haven't been used (and thus previously destroyed). Thus, we can
reenable the unload functionality disabled in rev. 1.65.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

probably harmless in this case, since the latter is called on tty
input, which is usually a result of some system call, so we've got
plenty of stack left. It's still nice to fix these things, though, in
case somebody ever decides this driver is a good example of something
(perhaps "what you probably shouldn't do").
