Also, only ignore ENOMEM. We have to convert ENOMEM to no error condition

active network stack instance. Turning on options VIMAGE at compile
time yields the following changes relative to default kernel build:
1) V_ accessor macros for virtualized variables resolve to structure
fields via base pointers, instead of being resolved as fields in global
structs or plain global variables. As an example, V_ifnet becomes:
options VIMAGE: ((struct vnet_net *) vnet_net)->_ifnet
default build: vnet_net_0._ifnet
options VIMAGE_GLOBALS: ifnet
2) INIT_VNET_* macros will declare and set up base pointers to be used
by V_ accessor macros, instead of resolving to whitespace:
INIT_VNET_NET(ifp->if_vnet); becomes
struct vnet_net *vnet_net = (ifp->if_vnet)->mod_data[VNET_MOD_NET];
3) Memory for vnet modules registered via vnet_mod_register() is now
allocated at run time in sys/kern/kern_vimage.c, instead of per vnet
module structs being declared as globals. If required, vnet modules
can now request the framework to provide them with allocated bzeroed
memory by filling in the vmi_size field in their vmi_modinfo structures.
4) structs socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb and syncache_head are
extended to hold a pointer to the parent vnet. options VIMAGE builds
will fill in those fields as required.
5) curvnet is introduced as a new global variable in options VIMAGE
builds, always pointing to the default and only struct vnet.
6) struct sysctl_oid has been extended with additional two fields to
store major and minor virtualization module identifiers, oid_v_subs and
oid_v_mod. SYSCTL_V_* family of macros will fill in those fields
accordingly, and store the offset in the appropriate vnet container
struct in oid_arg1.
In sysctl handlers dealing with virtualized sysctls, the
SYSCTL_RESOLVE_V_ARG1() macro will compute the address of the target
variable and make it available in arg1 variable for further processing.
Unused fields in structs vnet_inet, vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw have
been deleted.

- Move the release of the sysctl sx lock after the vsunlock() in
userland_sysctl() to restore the original memlock behavior of
minimizing the amount of memory wired to handle sysctl requests.
MFC after: 1 week
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.

After running a `make buildkernel', I noticed most of the Giant locks in
sysctl are only caused by a very small amount of sysctl's:
- sysctl.name2oid. This one is locked by SYSCTL_LOCK, just like
sysctl.oidfmt.
- kern.ident, kern.osrelease, kern.version, etc. These are just constant
strings.
- kern.arandom, used by the stack protector. It is already protected by
arc4_mtx.
I also saw the following sysctl's show up. Not as often as the ones
above, but still quite often:
- security.jail.jailed. Also mark security.jail.list as MPSAFE. They
don't need locking or already use allprison_lock.
- kern.devname, used by devname(3), ttyname(3), etc.
This seems to reduce Giant locking inside sysctl by ~75% in my primitive
test setup.
When sysctl() is being called with a buffer that is too small, it will
return ENOMEM. Unfortunately the changes I made the other day sets the
error number to 0, because it just returns the error number of the
copyout(). Revert this part of the change.
It seems I forgot to remove `int error' from a single piece of code. I'm
also moving ogetkerninfo() to kern_xxx.c, because it belongs to the
class of compat system information system calls, not the generic sysctl
code.
In the existing code we didn't really enforce that callers hold Giant
before calling userland_sysctl(), even though there is no guarantee it
is safe. Fix this by just placing Giant locks around the call to the oid
handler. This also means we only pick up Giant for a very short period
of time. Maybe we should add MPSAFE flags to sysctl or phase it out all
together.
I've also added SYSCTL_LOCK_ASSERT(). We have to make sure sysctl_root()
and name2oid() are called with the sysctl lock held.

error is not EAGAIN. Several sysctls that inspect another process use
p_candebug() for checking access right for the curproc. p_candebug()
returns EAGAIN for some reasons, in particular, for the process doing
exec() now. If execing process tries to lock Giant, we get a livelock,
because sysctl handlers are covered by Giant, and often do not sleep.
Break the livelock by dropping Giant and allowing other threads to
execute in the EAGAIN loop.
Also, do not return EAGAIN from p_candebug() when process is executing,
