- 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.

Instead, mimic the treatment of the PS_INMEM flag and use separate loops
to set the inhibitors when clearing PS_INMEM and clear the inhibitors
when setting PS_INMEM.

This makes it trivial to map the stack non-executable for certain abis, on

- Check whether a process is a system process prior to dereferencing

The process allocator now caches and hands out complete process structures
*including substructures* .
i.e. it get's the process structure with the first thread (and soon KSE)
already allocated and attached, all in one hit.
For the average non threaded program (non KSE that is) the allocated thread and its stack remain attached to the process, even when the process is
unused and in the process cache. This saves having to allocate and attach it
later, effectively bringing us (hopefully) close to the efficiency
of pre-KSE systems where these were a single structure.

by pmap_qenter() and pmap_qremove() is pointless. In fact, it probably
leads to unnecessary pmap_page_protect() calls if one of these pages is
paged out after unwiring.
Note: setting PG_MAPPED asserts that the page's pv list may be
non-empty. Since checking the status of the page's pv list isn't any
harder than checking this flag, the flag should probably be eliminated.
Alternatively, PG_MAPPED could be set by pmap_enter() exclusively
rather than various places throughout the kernel.

- Assert that a process is not swapped out in runq functions and
swapout().
- Introduce thread_safetoswapout() for readability.
- In swapout_procs(), perform a test that may block (check of a

with the sched_lock held, providing a better atomicity.
except for the fact tha they are presently swapped out. Also add a process
flag to indicate that the process has started the struggle to swap
back in. This will be needed for the case where multiple threads
start the swapin action top a collision. Also add code to stop
a process fropm being swapped out if one of the threads in this
process is actually off running on another CPU.. that might hurt...

and use a single equivalent MI version. There are other cleanups
needed still.
While here, use the UMA zone hooks to keep a cache of preinitialized
proc structures handy, just like the thread system does. This eliminates
one dependency on 'struct proc' being persistent even after being freed.
There are some comments about things that can be factored out into
ctor/dtor functions if it is worth it. For now they are mostly just
doing statistics to get a feel of how it is working.

best path forward now is likely to change the lockmgr locks to simple
sleep mutexes, then see if any extra contention it generates is greater
than removed overhead of managing local locking state information,
cost of extra calls into lockmgr, etc.
Additionally, making the vm_map lock a mutex and respecting it properly
will put us much closer to not needing Giant magic in vm.
the motivation for saving and restoring the map->hint in useracc() is gone.
(The same tests that motivated this change in revision 1.57 now show that
there is no performance loss from removing it.) This was really a hack and
some day we would have had to add new synchronization here on map->hint
to maintain it.
While doing this, move it earlier in the sysinit boot process so that the
VM system can use it.
After that, the system is now able to use sx locks instead of lockmgr
locks in the VM system. To accomplish this, some of the more
questionable uses of the locks (such as testing whether they are
owned or not, as well as allowing shared+exclusive recursion) are
removed, and simpler logic throughout is used so locks should also be
easier to understand.
This has been tested on my laptop for months, and has not shown any
problems on SMP systems, either, so appears quite safe. One more
user of lockmgr down, many more to go :)
