o These changes remove a number of warning cases identified by the

o As these are new restrictions, we'll have to watch out carefully for
possible side effects on running code: they seem reasonable to me,

o p_cansignal() takes three arguments: subject process, object process,
and signal number, unlike p_cankill(), which only took into account
the processes and not the signal number, improving the abstraction
such that CANSIGNAL() from kern_sig.c can now also be eliminated;
previously CANSIGNAL() special-cased the handling of SIGCONT based
on process session. privused is now deprecated.
o The new p_cansignal() further limits the set of signals that may
be delivered to processes with P_SUGID set, and restructures the
access control check to allow it to be extended more easily.

toggle the P_SUGID bit explicitly, rather than relying on it being
set implicitly by other protection and credential logic. This feature
is introduced to support inter-process authorization regression testing
by simplifying userland credential management allowing the easy
isolation and reproduction of authorization events with specific
security contexts. This feature is enabled only by "options REGRESSION"
and is not intended to be used by applications. While the feature is
not known to introduce security vulnerabilities, it does allow
processes to enter previously inaccessible parts of the credential
state machine, and is therefore disabled by default. It may not
constitute a risk, and therefore in the future pending further analysis
(and appropriate need) may become a published interface.

and calls it an array of 'struct int' rather than 'int' or sysctl -a

versions return 4 integers: count, number of chains used, maximum chain

The raw forms are more useful for analyzing the hash distribution, while
the other form can be read easily by humans and stats loggers.

count drops to 0 in witness_destroy, set the w_name and w_file pointers

if a mutex of a given name is used only in a module, then as long as
all mutexes in the module are destroyed when the module is unloaded,
witness will not maintain stale references to the mutex's name in the
module's data section causing a panic later on when the w_name or w_file
field's are examined.

twice in witness_list() instead of using an evil goto.
- Adjust the 'show locks' command to take an optional parameter which
specifies the pid of a process to list the locks of. By default the
locks held by the current process are displayed.
The mbuf and mcluster free lists now each "own" a condition variable,

- Clean up minor indentention issues in sys/mbuf.h caused by previous

Don't use atomic operations for the stats updating, instead protect
the counts with the mbuf mutex. Most twiddling of the stats was
done right before or after releasing a mutex. By doing this we
reduce the number of locked ops needed as well as allow a sysctl
to gain a consitant view of the entire stats structure.
In the future...
This will allow us to chain common mbuf operations that would
normally need to aquire/release 2 or 3 of the locks to build an
mbuf with a cluster or external data attached into a single op
requiring only one lock.
Simplify the per-cpu locks that are planned.
There's also some if (1) code that should check if the "how"
operation specifies blocking/non-blocking behavior, we _could_ make
it so that we hold onto the mutex through calls into kmem_alloc
when non-blocking requests are made, but for safety reasons we
currently drop and reaquire the mutex around the calls.
Also, note that calling kmem_alloc is rare and only happens during
a shortage so drop/re-getting the mutex will not be a common
occurance.
Remove some #define's that seemed to obfuscate the code to me.
Remove an extranious comment.
Remove an XXX, including mutex.h isn't a crime.

operations on file descriptors, which complement the existing set of
calls, extattr_{delete,get,set}_file() which act on paths. In doing
so, restructure the system call implementation such that the two sets
of functions share most of the relevant code, rather than duplicating
it. This pushes the vnode locking into the shared code, but keeps
the copying in of some arguments in the system call code. Allowing
access via file descriptors reduces the opportunity for race
conditions when managing extended attributes.

locks were held, we could be preempted and switch CPU's in between the time
that we set a variable to the list of spin locks on our CPU and the time
that we checked that variable to ensure no spinlocks were held while
grabbing a sleep lock. Losing the race resulted in checking some other
CPU's spin lock list and bogusly panicing.
- Introduce lock classes and lock objects. Each lock class specifies a
name and set of flags (or properties) shared by all locks of a given
type. Currently there are three lock classes: spin mutexes, sleep
mutexes, and sx locks. A lock object specifies properties of an
additional lock along with a lock name and all of the extra stuff needed
to make witness work with a given lock. This abstract lock stuff is
defined in sys/lock.h. The lockmgr constants, types, and prototypes have
been moved to sys/lockmgr.h. For temporary backwards compatability,
sys/lock.h includes sys/lockmgr.h.
- Replace proc->p_spinlocks with a per-CPU list, PCPU(spinlocks), of spin
locks held. By making this per-cpu, we do not have to jump through
magic hoops to deal with sched_lock changing ownership during context
switches.
- Replace proc->p_heldmtx, formerly a list of held sleep mutexes, with
proc->p_sleeplocks, which is a list of held sleep locks including sleep
mutexes and sx locks.
- Add helper macros for logging lock events via the KTR_LOCK KTR logging
level so that the log messages are consistent.
- Add some new flags that can be passed to mtx_init():
- MTX_NOWITNESS - specifies that this lock should be ignored by witness.
This is used for the mutex that blocks a sx lock for example.
- MTX_QUIET - this is not new, but you can pass this to mtx_init() now
and no events will be logged for this lock, so that one doesn't have
to change all the individual mtx_lock/unlock() operations.
- All lock objects maintain an initialized flag. Use this flag to export
a mtx_initialized() macro that can be safely called from drivers. Also,
we on longer walk the all_mtx list if MUTEX_DEBUG is defined as witness
performs the corresponding checks using the initialized flag.
- The lock order reversal messages have been improved to output slightly
more accurate file and line numbers.

an extra PAL call, so remove it.
- Partially fix using mutexes with WITNESS in modules. Change all the
_mtx_{un,}lock_{spin,}_flags() macros to accept explicit file and line
parameters and rename them to use a prefix of two underscores. Inside
of kern_mutex.c, generate wrapper functions for
_mtx_{un,}lock_{spin,}_flags() (only using a prefix of one underscore)
that are called from modules. The macros mtx_{un,}lock_{spin,}_flags()
are mapped to the __mtx_* macros inside of the kernel to inline the
usual case of mutex operations and map to the internal _mtx_* functions
in the module case so that modules will use WITNESS and KTR logging if
the kernel is compiled with support for it.
