o Allow callers of m_extadd() to allocate their own reference
m_ext.ref_cnt pointer, rather than having the mbuf system allocate it
with a malloc() in the critical path. This speeds m_extadd() up, and
also simplifies locking (malloc() may need Giant).
A driver or subsystem wishing to take use its own ref counter must
initialize m_ext.ref_cnt to point to its ref counter prior to
calling m_extadd(), and it must use EXT_EXTREF as its external type.
Eg:
m->m_ext.ref_cnt = my_ref_cnt_ptr;
m_extadd(.....,EXT_EXTREF);

this was causing filedesc work to be very painful.
In order to make this work split out sigio definitions to thier own header
(sigio.h) which is included from proc.h for the time being.
take pointers to filedesc structures instead of threads. This makes
it more clear that they do not do any voodoo with the thread/proc
or anything other than the filedesc passed in or returned.
Remove some XXX KSE's as this resolves the issue.

convention for compatibility)
o eliminate the use of timersub in ratecheck
Note that flood ping tests indicate ppsratecheck is inaccurate (but on the
conservative side) with this revised implementation. If more accuracy is
needed we'll have to introduce an alternate interface or increase the
overhead.

were sometimes propagated using M_COPY_PKTHDR which actually did
something between a "move" and a "copy" operation. This is replaced
by M_MOVE_PKTHDR (which copies the pkthdr contents and "removes" it
from the source mbuf) and m_dup_pkthdr which copies the packet
header contents including any m_tag chain. This corrects numerous
problems whereby mbuf tags could be lost during packet manipulations.
These changes also introduce arguments to m_tag_copy and m_tag_copy_chain
to specify if the tag copy work should potentially block. This
introduces an incompatibility with openbsd which we may want to revisit.
Note that move/dup of packet headers does not handle target mbufs
that have a cluster bound to them. We may want to support this;
for now we watch for it with an assert.
Finally, M_COPYFLAGS was updated to include M_FIRSTFRAG|M_LASTFRAG.

call is in progress on the vnode. When vput() or vrele() sees a
1->0 reference count transition, it now return without any further
action if this flag is set. This flag is necessary to avoid recursion
into VOP_INACTIVE if the filesystem inactive routine causes the
reference count to increase and then drop back to zero. It is also
used to guarantee that an unlocked vnode will not be recycled while
blocked in VOP_INACTIVE().
There are at least two cases where the recursion can occur: one is
that the softupdates code called by ufs_inactive() via ffs_truncate()
can call vput() on the vnode. This has been reported by many people
as "lockmgr: draining against myself" panics. The other case is
that nfs_inactive() can call vget() and then vrele() on the vnode
to clean up a sillyrename file.

to treat desiredvnodes much more like a limit than as a vague concept.
On a 2GB RAM machine where desired vnodes is 130k, we run out of
kmem_map space when we hit about 190k vnodes.
If we wake up the vnode washer in getnewvnode(), sleep until it is done,
so that it has a chance to offer us a washed vnode. If we don't sleep
here we'll just race ahead and allocate yet a vnode which will never
get freed.
In the vnodewasher, instead of doing 10 vnodes per mountpoint per
rotation, do 10% of the vnodes distributed evenly across the
mountpoints.
(show thread {address})
Remove the IDLE kse state and replace it with a change in
the way threads sahre KSEs. Every KSE now has a thread, which is
considered its "owner" however a KSE may also be lent to other
threads in the same group to allow completion of in-kernel work.
n this case the owner remains the same and the KSE will revert to the
owner when the other work has been completed.
All creations of upcalls etc. is now done from
kse_reassign() which in turn is called from mi_switch or
thread_exit(). This means that special code can be removed from
msleep() and cv_wait().
kse_release() does not leave a KSE with no thread any more but
converts the existing thread into teh KSE's owner, and sets it up
for doing an upcall. It is just inhibitted from being scheduled until
there is some reason to do an upcall.
Remove all trace of the kse_idle queue since it is no-longer needed.
"Idle" KSEs are now on the loanable queue.
The duplication is caused by the fact that imgact_elf.c is included
by both imgact_elf32.c and imgact_elf64.c and both are compiled by
default on ia64. Consequently, we have two seperate copies of the
elf_legacy_coredump variable due to them being declared static, and
two entries for the same sysctl in the linker set, both referencing
the unique copy of the elf_legacy_coredump variable. Since the second
sysctl cannot be registered, one of the elf_legacy_coredump variables
can not be tuned (if ordering still holds, it's the ELF64 related one).
The only solution is to create two different sysctl variables, just
like the elf<32|64>_trace sysctl variables. This unfortunately is an
(user) interface change, but unavoidable. Thus, on ELF32 platforms
the sysctl variable is called elf32_legacy_coredump and on ELF64
platforms it is called elf64_legacy_coredump. Platforms that have
both ELF formats have both sysctl variables.
These variables should probably be retired sooner rather than later.
