Pre-rfork code assumed inherent locking of a process's file descriptor
array. However, with the advent of rfork() the file descriptor table
could be shared between processes. This patch closes over a dozen
serious race conditions related to one thread manipulating the table
(e.g. closing or dup()ing a descriptor) while another is blocked in
an open(), close(), fcntl(), read(), write(), etc...

int p_can(p1, p2, operation, privused)
which allows specification of subject process, object process,
inter-process operation, and an optional call-by-reference privused
flag, allowing the caller to determine if privilege was required
for the call to succeed. This allows jail, kern.ps_showallprocs and
regular credential-based interaction checks to occur in one block of
code. Possible operations are P_CAN_SEE, P_CAN_SCHED, P_CAN_KILL,
and P_CAN_DEBUG. p_can currently breaks out as a wrapper to a
series of static function checks in kern_prot, which should not
be invoked directly.
o Commented out capabilities entries are included for some checks.
o Update most inter-process authorization to make use of p_can() instead
of manual checks, PRISON_CHECK(), P_TRESPASS(), and
kern.ps_showallprocs.
o Modify suser{,_xxx} to use const arguments, as it no longer modifies
process flags due to the disabling of ASU.
o Modify some checks/errors in procfs so that ENOENT is returned instead
of ESRCH, further improving concealment of processes that should not
be visible to other processes. Also introduce new access checks to
improve hiding of processes for procfs_lookup(), procfs_getattr(),
procfs_readdir(). Correct a bug reported by bp concerning not
handling the CREATE case in procfs_lookup(). Remove volatile flag in
procfs that caused apparently spurious qualifier warnigns (approved by
bde).
o Add comment noting that ktrace() has not been updated, as its access
control checks are different from ptrace(), whereas they should
probably be the same. Further discussion should happen on this topic.

passing a zero-valued timeout, the code would always sleep for one tick.
Change code to avoid calling tsleep if we have no intention of sleeping.
Bring in bugfix from sys_select.c, r1.60 which also applies here.
Modify error handling slightly; passing in an invalid fd will now result
in EBADF returned in the eventlist, while an attempt to change a knote
which does not exist will result in ENOENT being returned. Previously
such attempts would fail silently without notification.

is not desired, then the user can register an EV_SIGNAL filter to
explicitly catch a signal event.
Change requested by: jayanth, ps, peter
"Why is kevent non-restartable after a signal?"
When re-adding an event, do not reset the event state. If the event was
pending, it will remain pending. This allows the user to change the udata
field after the event was registered, while not losing any events which
have already occurred.

Fix up some whitespace problems while I'm here too.

spl() protection in the case of a copyout error.
Add missing spl calls around the intial activation call that is
done when when the kevent is added.
Add two KASSERT macros to help catch errors in the future.
