Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.
We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.
This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.

The existing code calls kern_open() to resolve the vnode of a pathname
right after a stat(). This is not correct, because it causes random
character devices to be opened in /dev. This means ls'ing a tape
streamer will cause it to rewind, for example. Changes I have made:
- Add kern_statat_vnhook() to allow binary emulators to `post-process'
struct stat, using the proper vnode.
- Remove unneeded printf's from stat() and statfs().
- Make the Linuxolator use kern_statat_vnhook(), replacing
translate_path_major_minor_at().
- Let translate_fd_major_minor() use vp->v_rdev instead of
vp->v_un.vu_cdev.

When a negative cache entry is hit during a pathname lookup, the parent

negative cache entries for that parent are purged and the lookup falls
back to using the RPC. This required adding a new cache_purge_negative()

the correct behaviour (sorting by distance from the current head position
in the scan direction) and bioq_insert_head() and bioq_insert_tail()
have a well defined (and useful) behaviour, especially when intermixed
with calls to bioq_disksort().
In particular:
- fix a bug in the existing bioq_disksort() that did not use the
current head position correctly;
- redefine semantics of bioq_insert_head() and bioq_insert_tail().
bioq_insert_tail() can now be used as a barrier
between previous and subsequent calls to bioq_disksort().
The code is heavily documented in the source code so please refer
to that for the details.
Much of this code comes from Fabio Checconi. Also thanks to Kirk
for feedback on the (re)definition of bioq_insert_tail().
NOTE: in the current tree there is only a handful of files which
intermix calls to bioq_disksort() with bioq_insert_head() and
bioq_insert_tail(). The ordering of the queue in these situation
was not specified (nor easy to figure out) before, so I doubt any
of that code could be affected by the specification of the API.
Also note that the current implementation is significantly simpler
than the previous one (also used in ata_sort_queue()).
It would be useful to reimplement ata_sort_queue() using
the same code used in bioq_disksort().

Just like the old TTY layer, the current MPSAFE TTY layer does not make
any attempt to serialize calls of write(). Data is copied into the
kernel in 256 (TTY_STACKBUF) byte chunks. If a write() call occurs at
the same time, the data may interleave. This is especially likely when
the TTY starts blocking, because the output queue reaches the high
watermark.
I've implemented this by adding a new flag, TTY_BUSY_OUT, which is used
to mark a TTY as having a thread stuck in write(). Because I don't want
non-blocking processes to be possibly blocked by a sleeping thread, I'm
still allowing it to bypass the protection. According to this message,
the Linux kernel returns EAGAIN in such cases, but I think that's a
little too restrictive:

from the parent to the child process if they have an operation vector
of &badfileops. This narrows a set of races involving system calls that
allocate a new file descriptor, potentially block for some extended
period, and then return the file descriptor, when invoked by a threaded
program that concurrently invokes fork(2). Similar approches are used
in both Solaris and Linux, and the wideness of this race was introduced
in FreeBSD when we moved to a more optimistic implementation of
accept(2) in order to simplify locking.
A small race necessarily remains because the fork(2) might occur after
the finit() in accept(2) but before the system call has returned, but
that appears unavoidable using current APIs. However, this race is
vastly narrower.
The fix can be validated using the newfileops_on_fork regression test.

Back in 1.1 of kern_sysctl.c the sysctl() routine wired the "old" userland
buffer for most sysctls (everything except kern.vnode.*). I think to prevent
issues with wiring too much memory it used a 'memlock' to serialize all
sysctl(2) invocations, meaning that only one user buffer could be wired at
a time. In 5.0 the 'memlock' was converted to an sx lock and renamed to
'sysctl lock'. However, it still only served the purpose of serializing
sysctls to avoid wiring too much memory and didn't actually protect the
sysctl tree as its name suggested. These changes expand the lock to actually
protect the tree.
Later on in 5.0, sysctl was changed to not wire buffers for requests by
default (sysctl_handle_opaque() will still wire buffers larger than a single
page, however). As a result, user buffers are no longer wired as often.
However, many sysctl handlers still wire user buffers, so it is still
desirable to serialize userland sysctl requests. Kernel sysctl requests
are allowed to run in parallel, however.
- Expose sysctl_lock()/sysctl_unlock() routines to exclusively lock the
sysctl tree for a few places outside of kern_sysctl.c that manipulate
the sysctl tree directly including the kernel linker and vfs_register().
- sysctl_register() and sysctl_unregister() require the caller to lock
the sysctl lock using sysctl_lock() and sysctl_unlock(). The rest of
the public sysctl API manage the locking internally.
- Add a locked variant of sysctl_remove_oid() for internal use so that
external uses of the API do not need to be aware of locking requirements.
- The kernel linker no longer needs Giant when manipulating the sysctl
tree.
- Add a missing break to the loop in vfs_register() so that we stop looking
at the sysctl MIB once we have changed it.

When we leave the console TTY constantly open, we never reset the
termios attributes. This causes output processing, echoing, etc. not to
be reset to the proper values when going into single user mode after the
system has booted. It also causes nl-to-crnl-conversion not to take
place during shutdown, which causes a `staircase effect'.
This patch adds a new TTY flag, TF_OPENED_CONS, which is set when the
TTY is opened through /dev/console. Because the flags are only used by
the kernel and the pstat(8) utility, I've decided to renumber the TTY
flags. This shouldn't be an issue, because the TTY layer is not yet part
of a stable release.

Right now we only have a very small amount of drivers that use clists,
but we still allocate 50 cblocks as slush space, which allows drivers to
temporarily overcommit their storage. Most of the drivers don't allow
this anyway.
I've performed the following changes:
- We don't allocate any cblocks on startup.
- I've removed the DDB command, because it has nothing useful to print
now. You can obtain the amount of allocated blocks by running `vmstat
-m | grep clist'.
- I've removed cfreecount, which is now unused.
- The old code first tries to allocate using M_NOWAIT, followed by
M_WAITOK. This doesn't make any sense, so just remove this logic. It
seems the drivers allow us to sleep anyway.
We can even remove ccmax from clist_alloc_cblocks and c_cbmax from
struct clist, but this breaks binary compatibility.
This reduces the amount of allocated cblocks on my system from 54 to 4.
The TTY buffers used the standard <sys/queue.h> lists. Unfortunately
they have a big shortcoming. If you want to have a double linked list,
but no tail pointer, it's still not possible to obtain the previous
element in the list. Inside the buffers we don't need them. This is why
I switched to custom linked list macros. The macros will also keep track
of the amount of items in the list. Because it doesn't use a sentinel,
we can just initialize the queues with zero.
In its simplest form (the output queue), we will only keep two
references to blocks in the queue, namely the head of the list and the
last block in use. All free blocks are stored behind the last block in
use.
I noticed there was a very subtle bug in the previous code: in a very
uncommon corner case, it would uma_zfree() a block in the queue before
calling memcpy() to extract the data from the block.
