Ariff Abdullah e4e61333ff Last (again ?!?) major commit for RELENG_7, featuring total Giant
eradication in/from userland path, countless locking fixes, etc.

- General sleep call through msleep(9) has been converted to condvar(9)
  with better consistencies.
- Heavily guard every possible "slow path" entries (open(), close(),
  few ioctl()s, sysctls), but once it entering "fast path" (io, interrupt
  started), they are free to fly on their own.
- Rearrange locking sequences, resulting better concurrency and
  serialization. Large part doesn't even need locking at all, and will be
  removed in future. Less clutter, except in few places due to lock
  ordering.
- Anonymous mixer object creation/deletion to simplify mixer handling
  beyond typical mixer ioctls.
  Submitted by:		chibis (with modifications)
- Add few mix_[get|set|..] functions to avoid calling mixer_ioctl()
  directly using cryptic arguments.
- Locking fixes to avoid possible deadlock with (still under Giant) USB.
- Better simplex/duplex device handling.
- Recover mmap() functionality for recording, which has been lost
  since 2.2.x - 3.x (the introduction of newpcm). Full-duplex mmap still
  doesn't work (due to VM/page design), but people still can mmap
  both by opening each direction separately. mmaped playback is guarantee
  to work either way.
- New sysctl: "hw.snd.compat_linux_mmap" to allow PROT_EXEC page
  mapping, due to recent changes in linux compatibility layer which
  require it. All linux applications that using sound + mmap() (mostly games)
  require this to be enabled. Disabled by default.
- Other goodies.. too many, that will increase releng7 shareholder value
  and make users of releng6 (and below) cry ;)

* This commit should be atomic. If anything goes wrong (not counting problem
  originated from elsewhere), I will not hesitate to revert everything back
  within 12 hours. This substantial changes itself not a rocket science
  and the process has begun for almost 2 years, and lots of incremental
  changes are already in place during that period of time.
* Some issues does occur in snd_emu10kx (note the 'x') due to various
  internal locking issues and it is currently being worked on by chibis.

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.
