List devfs_dirents rather than vnodes off their shared struct cdev, this
saves a pointer field in the vnode at the expense of a field in the
devfs_dirent. There are often 100 times more vnodes so this is bargain.
In addition it makes it harder for people to try to do stypid things like
"finding the vnode from cdev".
Since DEVFS handles all VCHR nodes now, we can do the vnode related
cleanup in devfs_reclaim() instead of in dev_rel() and vgonel().
Similarly, we can do the struct cdev related cleanup in dev_rel()
instead of devfs_reclaim().

a socket from a regular socket to a listening socket able to accept new
connections. As part of this state transition, solisten() calls into the
protocol to update protocol-layer state. There were several bugs in this
implementation that could result in a race wherein a TCP SYN received
in the interval between the protocol state transition and the shortly
following socket layer transition would result in a panic in the TCP code,
as the socket would be in the TCPS_LISTEN state, but the socket would not
have the SO_ACCEPTCONN flag set.
This change does the following:
- Pushes the socket state transition from the socket layer solisten() to
to socket "library" routines called from the protocol. This permits
the socket routines to be called while holding the protocol mutexes,
preventing a race exposing the incomplete socket state transition to TCP
after the TCP state transition has completed. The check for a socket
layer state transition is performed by solisten_proto_check(), and the
actual transition is performed by solisten_proto().
- Holds the socket lock for the duration of the socket state test and set,
and over the protocol layer state transition, which is now possible as
the socket lock is acquired by the protocol layer, rather than vice
versa. This prevents additional state related races in the socket
layer.
This permits the dual transition of socket layer and protocol layer state
to occur while holding locks for both layers, making the two changes
atomic with respect to one another. Similar changes are likely require
elsewhere in the socket/protocol code.

Pull bufobj_invalbuf() out of vinvalbuf() and make g_vfs call it on

so->so_options when solisten() will succeed, rather than setting it
conditionally based on there not being queued sockets in the completed

completed queue before solisten() completes, the listen() system call

For TCP, this didn't happen in practice, as the TCP code will panic if
a new connection comes in after the tcpcb has been transitioned to a
listening state but the socket doesn't have SO_ACCEPTCONN set.
This is historical behavior resulting from bitrot since 4.3BSD, in which

Long term, it is worth looking at simply copying the data into

structure in the struct pointed to by the 3rd argument for IPC_STAT and
get rid of the 4th argument. The old way returned a pointer into the
kernel array that the calling function would then access afterwards
without holding the appropriate locks and doing non-lock-safe things like
copyout() with the data anyways. This change removes that unsafeness and
resulting race conditions as well as simplifying the interface.
- Implement kern_foo wrappers for stat(), lstat(), fstat(), statfs(),
fstatfs(), and fhstatfs(). Use these wrappers to cut out a lot of
code duplication for freebsd4 and netbsd compatability system calls.
- Add a new lookup function kern_alternate_path() that looks up a filename
under an alternate prefix and determines which filename should be used.
This is basically a more general version of linux_emul_convpath() that
can be shared by all the ABIs thus allowing for further reduction of
code duplication.
callout is first initialised, using a new function callout_init_mtx().
The callout system will acquire this mutex before calling the callout
function and release it on return.
In addition, the callout system uses the mutex to avoid most of the
complications and race conditions inherent in asynchronous timer
facilities, so mutex-protected callouts have much simpler semantics.
As long as the mutex is held when invoking callout_stop() or
callout_reset(), then these functions will guarantee that the callout
will be stopped, even if softclock() had already begun to process
the callout.
Existing Giant-locked callouts will automatically pick up the new
race-free semantics. This should close a number of race conditions
in the USB code and probably other areas of the kernel too.
There should be no change in behaviour for "MP-safe" callouts; these
still need to use the techniques mentioned in timeout(9) to avoid
race conditions.

Currently MemGuard can only take over malloc()/realloc()/free() for
particular (a) malloc type(s) and the code brought in with this
change manually instruments it to take over M_SUBPROC allocations
as an example. If you are planning to use it, for now you must:
1) Put "options DEBUG_MEMGUARD" in your kernel config.
2) Edit src/sys/kern/kern_malloc.c manually, look for
"XXX CHANGEME" and replace the M_SUBPROC comparison with
the appropriate malloc type (this might require additional
but small/simple code modification if, say, the malloc type
is declared out of scope).
3) Build and install your kernel. Tune vm.memguard_divisor
boot-time tunable which is used to scale how much of kmem_map
you want to allott for MemGuard's use. The default is 10,
so kmem_size/10.

2) Better instrumentation (e.g., boot-time) of MemGuard taking
over malloc types.
3) Teach UMA about MemGuard to allow MemGuard to override zone
allocations too.

schedulers a bit to ensure more correct handling of priorities and fewer
priority inversions:
- Add two functions to the sched(9) API to handle priority lending:
sched_lend_prio() and sched_unlend_prio(). The turnstile code uses these
functions to ask the scheduler to lend a thread a set priority and to
tell the scheduler when it thinks it is ok for a thread to stop borrowing
priority. The unlend case is slightly complex in that the turnstile code
tells the scheduler what the minimum priority of the thread needs to be
to satisfy the requirements of any other threads blocked on locks owned
by the thread in question. The scheduler then decides where the thread
can go back to normal mode (if it's normal priority is high enough to
satisfy the pending lock requests) or it it should continue to use the
priority specified to the sched_unlend_prio() call. This involves adding
a new per-thread flag TDF_BORROWING that replaces the ULE-only kse flag
for priority elevation.
- Schedulers now refuse to lower the priority of a thread that is currently
borrowing another therad's priority.
- If a scheduler changes the priority of a thread that is currently sitting
on a turnstile, it will call a new function turnstile_adjust() to inform
the turnstile code of the change. This function resorts the thread on
the priority list of the turnstile if needed, and if the thread ends up
at the head of the list (due to having the highest priority) and its
priority was raised, then it will propagate that new priority to the
owner of the lock it is blocked on.
Some additional fixes specific to the 4BSD scheduler include:
- Common code for updating the priority of a thread when the user priority
of its associated kse group has been consolidated in a new static
function resetpriority_thread(). One change to this function is that
it will now only adjust the priority of a thread if it already has a
time sharing priority, thus preserving any boosts from a tsleep() until
the thread returns to userland. Also, resetpriority() no longer calls
maybe_resched() on each thread in the group. Instead, the code calling
resetpriority() is responsible for calling resetpriority_thread() on
any threads that need to be updated.
- schedcpu() now uses resetpriority_thread() instead of just calling
sched_prio() directly after it updates a kse group's user priority.
- sched_clock() now uses resetpriority_thread() rather than writing
directly to td_priority.
- sched_nice() now updates all the priorities of the threads after the
group priority has been adjusted.

nice of 0. Doing so can cause an infinite loop because they should be
running, but a nice -20 process could prevent them from doing so.
- Add a new flag KEF_PRIOELEV to flag a thread that has had its priority
elevated due to priority propagation. If a thread has had its priority
elevated, we assume that it must go on the current queue and it must
get a slice.
- In sched_userret() if our priority was elevated and we shouldn't have
a timeslice, yield here until we should.

which holds on to just the data structure and the mutex. (The
existing refcount (fd_refcnt) holds onto the open files in the
descriptor.)
The fd_holdcnt is protected by fdesc_mtx, fd_refcnt by FILEDESC_LOCK.
Add fdhold(struct proc *) which gets a hold on the filedescriptors of
the specified proc..
Add fddrop(struct filedesc *) which drops the fd_holdcnt and if zero
destroys the mutex and frees the memory.
Initialize the fd_holdcnt to one in fdinit(). Normal operations on
the filedesc structure will not change it.
In fdfree() use fddrop() to dispose of the mutex and structure. Hold
the FILEDESC_LOCK() until we have cleaned out the contents and carefully
set the fields to null values during cleanup.
Use fdhold()/fddrop() in mountcheckdirs() and sysctl_kern_file().
for ensuring that a process' filedesc is not shared with anybody.
Use it in the two places which previously had private implmentations.
This collects all fd_refcnt handling in kern_descrip.c
nice value above 0, set it to 0 so that it may proceed with haste.
This is especially important on ULE, where adjusting the priority
does not guarantee that a thread will be granted a greater time slice.
specifically, vm_pgmoveco():
1. If vm_pgmoveco() sleeps on a busy page, it must redo the look up
because the page may have been freed.
2. If the receive buffer is copy-on-write due to, for example, a fork,
then although the first vm object in the shadow chain may not contain
a page there may still be one from a backing object that is mapped.
Thus, a pmap_remove() is required for the new page rather than the
backing object's page to been seen by the application.
Also, add some comments to vm_pgmoveco() and update some assertions.

completely. For some reason (that I am still curious about) we started to no
longer manage to finish the initialization before the timeouts run the first
time leading to panics when using uninitialized mutex etc.
The root of this problem is that we currently first link a domain to the
domains list and only later initialize the domain's protocols. This should
be reworked in the future, but with the current API it is not possible in
all situations. We settle with this lazy fix for now.

split the conversion of the remaining three filesystems out from the root
mounting changes, so in one go:
cd9660:
Convert to nmount.
Add omount compat shims.
Remove dedicated rootfs mounting code.
Use vfs_mountedfrom()
Rely on vfs_mount.c calling VFS_STATFS()
nfs(client):
Convert to nmount (the simple way, mount_nfs(8) is still necessary).
Add omount compat shims.
Drop COMPAT_PRELITE2 mount arg compatibility.
ffs:
Convert to nmount.
Add omount compat shims.
Remove dedicated rootfs mounting code.
Use vfs_mountedfrom()
Rely on vfs_mount.c calling VFS_STATFS()
Remove vfs_omount() method, all filesystems are now converted.
Remove MNTK_WANTRDWR, handling RO/RW conversions is a filesystem
task, and they all do it now.
Change rootmounting to use DEVFS trampoline:
vfs_mount.c:
Mount devfs on /. Devfs needs no 'from' so this is clean.
symlink /dev to /. This makes it possible to lookup /dev/foo.
Mount "real" root filesystem on /.
Surgically move the devfs mountpoint from under the real root
filesystem onto /dev in the real root filesystem.
Remove now unnecessary getdiskbyname().
kern_init.c:
Don't do devfs mounting and rootvnode assignment here, it was
already handled by vfs_mount.c.
Remove now unused bdevvp(), addaliasu() and addalias(). Put the
few necessary lines in devfs where they belong. This eliminates the
second-last source of bogo vnodes, leaving only the lemming-syncer.
Remove rootdev variable, it doesn't give meaning in a global context and
was not trustworth anyway. Correct information is provided by
statfs(/).
vfs_flagopt() for binary/boolean options.
vfs_getopts() for string options
vfs_filteropt() to check for unknown options.
vfs_scanopt() for scanf() like processing of options.
Also add function for setting the stat.f_mntfromname field.
Root filessytems (like NFS) don't have an associated disk device,
and even if they had, the exact semantics would be filesystem
dependent and should be implemented there.
