When a signal is being delivered to process, first find a sigwait
thread to deliver, POSIX's argument is speed of delivering signal
to sigwait thread is faster than other ways. A signal in its wait
set will cause sigwait to return the signal number, a signal not
in its wait set but in not blocked by the thread also causes sigwait
to return, but sigwait returns EINTR, sigwait is oneshot operation,
only one signal can be delivered to its wait set, when a signal is
delivered to the sigwait thread, the thread's sigwait state is canceled.
be delivered to that thread, regardless of whether it
has it masked or not.
Previously, if the targeted thread had the signal masked,
it would be put on the processes' siglist. If
another thread has the signal umasked or unmasks it before
the target, then the thread it was intended for would never
receive it.
This patch attempts to solve the problem by requiring callers
of tdsignal() to say whether the signal is for the thread or
for the process. If it is for the process, then normal processing
occurs and any thread that has it unmasked can receive it.
But if it is destined for a specific thread, it is put on
that thread's pending list regardless of whether it is currently
masked or not.
The new behaviour still needs more work, though. If the signal
is reposted for some reason it is always posted back to the
thread that handled it because the information regarding the
target of the signal has been lost by then.

o Add a tm_syncsig in thread mailbox, when a hardware trap occurs,

POSIX says siginfo pointer parameter can be NULL and if the

PT_DETACH ptrace(2) requests from functioning as advertised in the

under certain circumstances, pass an unwanted signal on to the traced

sometimes fail if you make it pass a signal that has "properties" that
differ from the properties of the signal that origionally caused the
traced process to be stopped. Since PT_KILL is nothing than
PT_CONTINUE with SIGKILL, it is broken too. In the PT_KILL case, this
leads to an unkillable process.

- Move struct sigacts out of the u-area and malloc() it using the
M_SUBPROC malloc bucket.
- Add a small sigacts_*() API for managing sigacts structures: sigacts_alloc(),
sigacts_free(), sigacts_copy(), sigacts_share(), and sigacts_shared().
- Remove the p_sigignore, p_sigacts, and p_sigcatch macros.
- Add a mutex to struct sigacts that protects all the members of the struct.
- Add sigacts locking.
- Remove Giant from nosys(), kill(), killpg(), and kern_sigaction() now
that sigacts is locked.
- Several in-kernel functions such as psignal(), tdsignal(), trapsignal(),
and thread_stopped() are now MP safe.

data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.
A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.
Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.
Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.
KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.
When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.
The code hasn't been tested under SMP by author due to lack of hardware.
