remove the unconditional acquisition of Giant for extended attribute related
operations. If the file system is set as being MP safe and debug.mpsafevfs is
1, do not pickup Giant.
Mark the following system calls as being MP safe so we no longer pickup Giant
in the system call handler:
o extattrctl
o extattr_set_file
o extattr_get_file
o extattr_delete_file
o extattr_set_fd
o extattr_get_fd
o extattr_delete_fd
o extattr_set_link
o extattr_get_link
o extattr_delete_link
o extattr_list_file
o extattr_list_link
o extattr_list_fd
-Pass MPSAFE flags to namei(9) lookup and introduce vfslocked variable which
will keep track of any Giant acquisitions.
-Wrap any fd operations which manipulate vnodes in VFS_{UN}LOCK_GIANT
-Drop VFS_ASSERT_GIANT into function which operate on vnodes to ensure that
we are sufficiently protected.
I've tested these changes with various TrustedBSD MAC policies which use
extended attribute a lot on SMP and UP systems (thanks to Scott Long for
making some SMP hardware available to me for testing).

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 ``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.
