freebsd kernel with SKQ

Lawrence Stewart 91a5ebde45 Fix a race in the manipulation of the V_tcp_sack_globalholes global variable,
which is currently not protected by any type of lock. When triggered, the bug
would sometimes cause a panic when the TCP activity to an affected machine
eventually slowed during a lull. The panic only occurs if INVARIANTS is compiled
into the kernel, and has laid dormant for some time as a result of INVARIANTS
being off by default except in FreeBSD-CURRENT.

Switch to atomic operations in the locations where the variable is changed.
Reads have not been updated to be protected by atomics, so there is a
possibility of accounting errors in any given calculation where the variable is
read. This is considered unlikely to occur in the wild, and will not cause
serious harm on rare occasions where it does.

Thanks to Robert Watson for debugging help.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
