aio code and are registered via the recently added SYSCALL32_*() helpers.
- Since the aio code likes to invoke fuword and suword a lot down in the
"bowels" of system calls, add a structure holding a set of operations for
things like storing errors, copying in the aiocb structure, storing
status, etc. The 32-bit system calls use a separate operations vector to
handle fuword32 vs fuword, etc. Also, the oldsigevent handling is now
done by having seperate operation vectors with different aiocb copyin
routines.
- Split out kern_foo() functions for the various AIO system calls so the
32-bit front ends can manage things like copying in and converting
timespec structures, etc.
- For both the native and 32-bit aio_suspend() and lio_listio() calls,
just use copyin() to read the array of aiocb pointers instead of using
a for loop that iterated over fuword/fuword32. The error handling in
the old case was incomplete (lio_listio() just ignored any aiocb's that
it got an EFAULT trying to read rather than reporting an error), and
possibly slower.

`kn_sdata' member of the newly registered knote. The problem is that
this member is overwritten by a call to kevent(2) with the EV_ADD flag,
targetted at the same kevent/knote. For instance, a userland application
may set the pointer to NULL, leading to a panic.
A testcase was provided by the submitter.

td_ru. This removes the requirement for per-process synchronization in
statclock() and mi_switch(). This was previously supported by
sched_lock which is going away. All modifications to rusage are now
done in the context of the owning thread. reads proceed without locks.
- Aggregate exiting threads rusage in thread_exit() such that the exiting
thread's rusage is not lost.
- Provide a new routine, rufetch() to fetch an aggregate of all rusage
structures from all threads in a process. This routine must be used
in any place requiring a rusage from a process prior to it's exit. The
exited process's rusage is still available via p_ru.
- Aggregate tick statistics only on demand via rufetch() or when a thread
exits. Tick statistics are kept in the thread and protected by sched_lock
until it exits.

Implement the linux_io_* syscalls (AIO). They are only enabled if the native
AIO code is available (either compiled in to the kernel or as a module) at
the time the functions are used. If the AIO stuff is not available there
will be a ENOSYS.

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:
Ben will hate me for this

2. Decrease kaio_buffer_count in biohelper rather than
doing it in aio_bio_done_notify.
3. In aio_bio_done_notify, don't send notification if KAIO_RUNDOWN

4. Use assignment to initialize aiothreadflags.

have started aio, instead, initialize aio management structure
if it hasn't been done, the reason to adjust this behavior is
to make it a bit friendly for threaded program, consider two
threads, one submits aio_write, and another just calls
aio_waitcomplete to wait any I/O to be completed and recycle the
aio requests, before submitter doing any I/O, the recycler wants
to wait in kernel. This also fixes inconsistency with other aio
syscalls.
- Use curthread for calls to knlist_delete() and add a big comment
explaining why as well as appropriate assertions.
- Use TAILQ_FOREACH and TAILQ_FOREACH_SAFE instead of handrolling them.
- Use fget() family of functions to lookup file objects instead of
grovelling around in file descriptor tables.
- Destroy the aio_freeproc mutex if we are unloaded.

notifications when LIO operations completed. These were the problems
with LIO event complete notification:
- Move all LIO/AIO event notification into one general function
so we don't have bugs in different data paths. This unification
got rid of several notification bugs one of which if kqueue was
used a SIGILL could get sent to the process.
- Change the LIO event accounting to count all AIO request that
could have been split across the fast path and daemon mode.
The prior accounting only kept track of AIO op's in that
mode and not the entire list of operations. This could cause
a bogus LIO event complete notification to occur when all of
the fast path AIO op's completed and not the AIO op's that
ended up queued for the daemon.
Suggestions from: alc
make the b_iodone callback responsible for setting it if it is needed.
Previously, it was set unconditionally by bufdone() without holding
whichever lock is shared by the b_iodone callback and the corresponding
top-half function. Consequently, in a race, the top-half function could
conclude that operation was done before the b_iodone callback finished.
See, for example, aio_physwakeup() and aio_fphysio().
Note: I don't believe that the other, more widely-used b_iodone callbacks
are affected.

- Introducing the possibility of using locks different than mutexes
for the knlist locking. In order to do this, we add three arguments to
knlist_init() to specify the functions to use to lock, unlock and
check if the lock is owned. If these arguments are NULL, we assume
mtx_lock, mtx_unlock and mtx_owned, respectively.
- Using the vnode lock for the knlist locking, when doing kqueue operations
on a vnode. This way, we don't have to lock the vnode while holding a
mutex, in filt_vfsread.
