in the process. This is required for proper debugging of corefiles
created by 1:1 or M:N threaded processes. Add an XXX comment where
we should actually call a function that dumps MD specific notes.
An example of a MD specific note is the NT_PRXFPREG note for SSE
registers.
Since BFD creates non-annotated pseudo-sections for the first PRSTATUS
and FPREGSET notes (non-annotated in the sense that the name of the
section does not contain the pid/tid), make sure those sections describe
the initial thread of the process (i.e. the thread which tid equals the
pid). This is not strictly necessary, but makes sure that tools that use
the non-annotated section names will not change behaviour due to this
change.
The practical upshot of this all is that one can see the threads in
the debugger when looking at a corefile. For 1:1 threading this means
that *all* threads are visible.
is twofold:
1. When a 1:1 or M:N threaded process dumps core, we need to put the
register state of each of its kernel threads in the core file.
This can only be done by differentiating the pid field in the
respective note. For this we need the tid.
2. When thread support is present for remote debugging the kernel
with gdb(1), threads need to be identified by an integer due to
limitations in the remote protocol. This requires having a tid.
To minimize the impact of having thread IDs, threads that are created
as part of a fork (i.e. the initial thread in a process) will inherit
the process ID (i.e. tid=pid). Subsequent threads will have IDs larger
than PID_MAX to avoid interference with the pid allocation algorithm.
The assignment of tids is handled by thread_new_tid().
The thread ID allocation algorithm has been written with 3 assumptions
in mind:
1. IDs need to be created as fast a possible,
2. Reuse of IDs may happen instantaneously,
3. Someone else will write a better algorithm.
- ptrace_single_step() is no longer called with the proc lock held, so
don't try to unlock it and then relock it.
- Push Giant down into proc_rwmem() instead of forcing all the consumers
(including Alpha breakpoint support) to explicitly wrap calls to
proc_rwmem() with Giant.

not quite well by me - if kern.ps_argsopen was set to 0, users weren't
permitted to see arguments of even own processes.
But kern.ps_argsopen is going away, so just remove this check and leave
security checks for p_cansee() function.

frequently incompatible with locking, not just a bad idea
due to style(9).

and consume that interface in portalfs and fifofs instead. In the
new world order, unp_connect2() assumes that the unpcb mutex is
held, whereas uipc_connect2() validates that the passed sockets are
UNIX domain sockets, then grabs the mutex.
NB: the portalfs and fifofs code gets down and dirty with UNIX domain
sockets. Maybe this is a bad thing.
stuff was here (NFS) was fixed by Alfred in November. The only remaining
consumer of the stub functions was umapfs, which is horribly horribly
broken. It has missed out on about the last 5 years worth of maintenence
that was done on nullfs (from which umapfs is derived). It needs major
work to bring it up to date with the vnode locking protocol. umapfs really
needs to find a caretaker to bring it into the 21st century.

instead of ephemeral mappings using pmap_qenter() by the writer. The
writer is still, however, responsible for wiring the pages, just not
mapping them. Consequently, the allocation of KVA for the direct case is
unnecessary. Remove it and the sysctls limiting it, i.e.,
kern.ipc.maxpipekvawired and kern.ipc.amountpipekvawired. The number
of temporarily wired pages is still, however, limited by
kern.ipc.maxpipekva.
Note: On platforms lacking a direct virtual-to-physical mapping,
uiomove_fromphys() uses sf_bufs to cache ephemeral mappings. Thus,
the number of available sf_bufs can influence the performance of pipes
on platforms such i386. Surprisingly, I saw the greatest gain from this
change on such a machine: lmbench's pipe bandwidth result increased from
~1050MB/s to ~1850MB/s on my 2.4GHz, 400MHz FSB P4 Xeon.
long as there are still explicit uses of int, whether in types or
in function names (such as atomic_set_int() in sched_ule.c), we can
not change cpumask_t to be anything other than u_int. See also the

activation (i.e., applications are using libpthread). This is because
SCHED_ULE sometimes puts P_SA processes into ksq_next unnecessarily.
Which doesn't give fair amount of CPU time to processes which are
using scheduler-activation-based threads when other (semi-)CPU-intensive,
non-P_SA processes are running.
Further work will no doubt be done by jeffr at a later date.

the caller to copyout the status and rusage to userland if needed. This
lets us axe the 'compat' argument and hide all that functionality in
owait(), by the way. This also cleans up some locking in kern_wait()
since it no longer has to drop locks around copyout() since all the
copyout()'s are deferred.
- Convert owait(), wait4(), and the various ABI compat wait() syscalls to
use kern_wait() rather than wait1() or wait4(). This removes a bit
more stackgap usage.
