Do not use kl_locked() method to assert either lock ownership or the
fact that curthread does not own the lock. For shared locks, ownership
is not recorded, e.g. VOP_ISLOCKED can return LK_SHARED for the shared
lock not owned by curthread, causing false positives in kqueue subsystem
assertions about knlist lock.
Remove kl_locked method from knlist lock vector, and add two separate
assertion methods kl_assert_locked and kl_assert_unlocked, that are
supposed to use proper asserts. Change knlist_init accordingly.
Add convenience function knlist_init_mtx to reduce number of arguments
for typical knlist initialization.

The handling of the NOTE_TRACK for EVFILT_PROC is currently done by
calling the kqueue_register() from filt_proc() filter, causing recursive
entrance of the kqueue code. This results in the LORs and recursive
acquisition of the locks.
Implement the variant of the knote() function designed to only handle
the fork() event. It mostly copies the knote() body, but also handles
the NOTE_TRACK, removing the handling from the filt_proc(), where it
causes problems described above. The function is called from the fork1()
instead of knote().
When encountering NOTE_TRACK knote, it marks the knote as influx
and drops the knlist and kqueue lock. In this context call to
kqueue_register is safe from the problems.
An error from the kqueue_register() is reported to the observer as
NOTE_TRACKERR fflag.

This makes it possible to support ftruncate() on non-vnode file types in
the future.
- 'struct fileops' grows a 'fo_truncate' method to handle an ftruncate() on
a given file descriptor.
- ftruncate() moves to kern/sys_generic.c and now just fetches a file
object and invokes fo_truncate().
- The vnode-specific portions of ftruncate() move to vn_truncate() in
vfs_vnops.c which implements fo_truncate() for vnode file types.
- Non-vnode file types return EINVAL in their fo_truncate() method.

- Track individual selecters on a per-descriptor basis such that there

- Protect the selinfo (per descriptor) structure with a mtx pool mutex.
mtx pool mutexes were chosen to preserve api compatibility with
existing code which does nothing but bzero() to setup selinfo
structures.
- Use a per-thread wait channel rather than a global wait channel.
- Hide select implementation details in a seltd structure which is
opaque to the rest of the kernel.
- Provide a 'selsocket' interface for those kernel consumers who wish to

and flags with an sxlock. This leads to a significant and measurable
performance improvement as a result of access to shared locking for
frequent lookup operations, reduced general overhead, and reduced overhead
in the event of contention. All of these are imported for threaded
applications where simultaneous access to a shared file descriptor array
occurs frequently. Kris has reported 2x-4x transaction rate improvements
on 8-core MySQL benchmarks; smaller improvements can be expected for many
workloads as a result of reduced overhead.
- Generally eliminate the distinction between "fast" and regular
acquisisition of the filedesc lock; the plan is that they will now all
be fast. Change all locking instances to either shared or exclusive
locks.
- Correct a bug (pointed out by kib) in fdfree() where previously msleep()
was called without the mutex held; sx_sleep() is now always called with
the sxlock held exclusively.
- Universally hold the struct file lock over changes to struct file,
rather than the filedesc lock or no lock. Always update the f_ops
field last. A further memory barrier is required here in the future
(discussed with jhb).
- Improve locking and reference management in linux_at(), which fails to
properly acquire vnode references before using vnode pointers. Annotate
improper use of vn_fullpath(), which will be replaced at a future date.
In fcntl(), we conservatively acquire an exclusive lock, even though in
some cases a shared lock may be sufficient, which should be revisited.
The dropping of the filedesc lock in fdgrowtable() is no longer required
as the sxlock can be held over the sleep operation; we should consider
removing that (pointed out by attilio).

where the lock would be dropped and later reacquired. The optimization
was broken when kevent's were moved from UFS to VFS and the knote list
lock for a vnode kevent became the lockmgr vnode lock. If one tried
to use a kqueue that contained events for a kqueue fd followed by a vnode,
then the kq global lock would end up being held when the vnode lock was
acquired which could result in sleeping with a mutex held (and subsequent
panics) if the vnode lock was contested.

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
- 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.
