convert to or from timeval frequently.
Introduce function itimer_accept() to ack a timer signal in signal
acceptance code, this allows us to return more fresh overrun counter
than at signal generating time. while POSIX says:
"the value returned by timer_getoverrun() shall apply to the most
recent expiration signal delivery or acceptance for the timer,.."
I prefer returning it at acceptance time.
Introduce SIGEV_THREAD_ID notification mode, it is used by thread
libary to request kernel to deliver signal to a specified thread,
and in turn, the thread library may use the mechanism to implement
SIGEV_THREAD which is required by POSIX.
Timer signal is managed by timer code, so it can not fail even if
signal queue is full filled by sigqueue syscall.
clock are supported. I have plan to merge XSI timer ITIMER_REAL and other
two CPU timers into the new code, current three slots are available for

The SIGEV_THREAD notification type is not supported yet because our
sigevent struct lacks of two member fields:
sigev_notify_function
sigev_notify_attributes
I have found the sigevent is used in AIO, so I won't add the two members
unless the AIO code is adjusted.

the raw values including for child process statistics and only compute the
system and user timevals on demand.
- Fix the various kern_wait() syscall wrappers to only pass in a rusage
pointer if they are going to use the result.
- Add a kern_getrusage() function for the ABI syscalls to use so that they
don't have to play stackgap games to call getrusage().
- Fix the svr4_sys_times() syscall to just call calcru() to calculate the
times it needs rather than calling getrusage() twice with associated
stackgap, etc.
- Add a new rusage_ext structure to store raw time stats such as tick counts
for user, system, and interrupt time as well as a bintime of the total
runtime. A new p_rux field in struct proc replaces the same inline fields
from struct proc (i.e. p_[isu]ticks, p_[isu]u, and p_runtime). A new p_crux
field in struct proc contains the "raw" child time usage statistics.
ruadd() has been changed to handle adding the associated rusage_ext
structures as well as the values in rusage. Effectively, the values in
rusage_ext replace the ru_utime and ru_stime values in struct rusage. These
two fields in struct rusage are no longer used in the kernel.
- calcru() has been split into a static worker function calcru1() that
calculates appropriate timevals for user and system time as well as updating
the rux_[isu]u fields of a passed in rusage_ext structure. calcru() uses a
copy of the process' p_rux structure to compute the timevals after updating
the runtime appropriately if any of the threads in that process are
currently executing. It also now only locks sched_lock internally while
doing the rux_runtime fixup. calcru() now only requires the caller to
hold the proc lock and calcru1() only requires the proc lock internally.
calcru() also no longer allows callers to ask for an interrupt timeval
since none of them actually did.
- calcru() now correctly handles threads executing on other CPUs.
- A new calccru() function computes the child system and user timevals by
calling calcru1() on p_crux. Note that this means that any code that wants
child times must now call this function rather than reading from p_cru
directly. This function also requires the proc lock.
- This finishes the locking for rusage and friends so some of the Giant locks
in exit1() and kern_wait() are now gone.
- The locking in ttyinfo() has been tweaked so that a shared lock of the
proctree lock is used to protect the process group rather than the process
group lock. By holding this lock until the end of the function we now
ensure that the process/thread that we pick to dump info about will no
longer vanish while we are trying to output its info to the console.

* Obtain/release schedlock around calls to calcru.
* Sort switch cases which do not cascade per style(9).
* Sort local variables per style(9).
* Remove "superfluous" whitespace.
* Cleanup handling of NULL uap->tp in clock_getres(). It would probably
be better to return EFAULT like clock_gettime() does by passing the
pointer to copyout(), but I presume it was written to not fail on
purpose in the original code. I'll defer to -standards on this one.

Apply the change as a continuous slew rather than as a series of
discrete steps and make it possible to adjust arbitraryly huge
amounts of time in either direction.
In practice this is done by hooking into the same once-per-second
loop as the NTP PLL and setting a suitable frequency offset deducting
the amount slewed from the remainder. If the remaining delta is
larger than 1 second we slew at 5000PPM (5msec/sec), for a delta
less than a second we slew at 500PPM (500usec/sec) and for the last
one second period we will slew at whatever rate (less than 500PPM)
it takes to eliminate the delta entirely.
The old implementation stepped the clock a number of microseconds
every HZ to acheive the same effect, using the same rates of change.
Eliminate the global variables tickadj, tickdelta and timedelta and
their various use and initializations.
This removes the most significant obstacle to running timecounter and
NTP housekeeping from a timeout rather than hardclock.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.
