This change moves the buffer from struct pcpu to the stack to avoid
using the critical section which created a LOR in a couple of cases
due to interaction with the tty code and kqueue. The LOR can't be
fixed with the critical section and the pcpu buffer can't be used

Putting the buffer on the stack was my initial solution, but it was

For some reason lighttpd, that was used for testing the new sendfile code,

privilege for threads and credentials. Unlike the existing suser(9)
interface, priv(9) exposes a named privilege identifier to the privilege
checking code, allowing more complex policies regarding the granting of
privilege to be expressed. Two interfaces are provided, replacing the
existing suser(9) interface:
suser(td) -> priv_check(td, priv)
suser_cred(cred, flags) -> priv_check_cred(cred, priv, flags)
A comprehensive list of currently available kernel privileges may be
found in priv.h. New privileges are easily added as required, but the
comments on adding privileges found in priv.h and priv(9) should be read
before doing so.
The new privilege interface exposed sufficient information to the
privilege checking routine that it will now be possible for jail to
determine whether a particular privilege is granted in the check routine,
rather than relying on hints from the calling context via the
SUSER_ALLOWJAIL flag. For now, the flag is maintained, but a new jail
check function, prison_priv_check(), is exposed from kern_jail.c and used
by the privilege check routine to determine if the privilege is permitted
in jail. As a result, a centralized list of privileges permitted in jail
is now present in kern_jail.c.
The MAC Framework is now also able to instrument privilege checks, both
to deny privileges otherwise granted (mac_priv_check()), and to grant
privileges otherwise denied (mac_priv_grant()), permitting MAC Policy
modules to implement privilege models, as well as control a much broader
range of system behavior in order to constrain processes running with
root privilege.
The suser() and suser_cred() functions remain implemented, now in terms
of priv_check() and the PRIV_ROOT privilege, for use during the transition
and possibly continuing use by third party kernel modules that have not
been updated. The PRIV_DRIVER privilege exists to allow device drivers to
check privilege without adopting a more specific privilege identifier.
This change does not modify the actual security policy, rather, it
modifies the interface for privilege checks so changes to the security
policy become more feasible.

VM pages into mbufs as it can -- up to the free send socket buffer space.
The outer loop then drops the whole mbuf chain into the send socket buffer,
calls tcp_output() on it and then waits until 50% of the socket buffer are
free again to repeat the cycle. This way tcp_output() gets the full amount
of data to work with and can issue up to 64K sends for TSO to chop up in
the network adapter without using any CPU cycles. Thus it gets very efficient
especially with the readahead the VM and I/O system do.
The previous sendfile(2) code simply looped over the file, turned each 4K
page into an mbuf and sent it off. This had the effect that TSO could only
generate 2 packets per send instead of up to 44 at its maximum of 64K.

a lock to prevent interspersed strings written from different CPUs
at the same time.
To avoid putting a buffer on the stack or having to malloc one,
space is incorporated in the per-cpu structure. The buffer
size if 128 bytes; chosen because it's the next power of 2 size
up from 80 characters.
String writes to the console are buffered up the end of the line
or until the buffer fills. Then the buffer is flushed to all
console devices.
Existing low level console output via cnputc() is unaffected by
this change. ithread calls to log() are also unaffected to avoid
blocking those threads.
A minor change to the behaviour in a panic situation is that
console output will still be buffered, but won't be written to
a tty as before. This should prevent interspersed panic output
as a number of CPUs panic before we end up single threaded
running ddb.

with no regard for locking or consistency.
These replacement functions are smaller, O(1) and handle the Y2.1K

guess is that at some point during the Linux threads patches, the sigacts
object was torn down during exit1(), so this check was added to prevent
a panic for that race. However, the stuff that was actually committed to
the tree doesn't teardown sigacts until wait() making the above race moot.

DESIGN NOTES:
1. Linux permits a process to own multiple AIO queues (distinguished by
"context"), but FreeBSD creates only one single AIO queue per process.
My code maintains a request queue (STAILQ of queue(3)) per "context",
and throws all AIO requests of all contexts owned by a process into
the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue.
When the process calls io_destroy(2), io_getevents(2), io_submit(2) and
io_cancel(2), my code can pick out requests owned by the specified context
from the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue according to the per-context
request queues maintained by my code.
2. The request queue maintained by my code stores contrast information between
Linux IO control blocks (struct linux_iocb) and FreeBSD IO control blocks
(struct aiocb). FreeBSD IO control block actually exists in userland memory
space, required by FreeBSD native aio_XXXXXX(2).
3. It is quite troubling that the function io_getevents() of libaio-0.3.105
needs to use Linux-specific "struct aio_ring", which is a partial mirror
of context in user space. I would rather take the address of context in
kernel as the context ID, but the io_getevents() of libaio forces me to
take the address of the "ring" in user space as the context ID.
To my surprise, one comment line in the file "io_getevents.c" of
libaio-0.3.105 reads:
