special signal-delivery protections for setugid processes. In the
event that a system is relying on "unusual" signal delivery to
processes that change their credentials, this can be used to work
around application problems.
Also, add SIGALRM to the set of signals permitted to be delivered to
setugid processes by unprivileged subjects.

between these cases. Of the two error codes, EINVAL was more likely
to occur in practice, and it was the only one of the two that was
documented.

out of cdregister() and daregister(), which are run from interrupt context.
The sysctl code does blocking mallocs (M_WAITOK), which causes problems
if malloc(9) actually needs to sleep.
The eventual fix for this issue will involve moving the CAM probe process
inside a kernel thread. For now, though, I have fixed the issue by moving
dynamic sysctl variable creation for these two drivers to a task queue
running in a kernel thread.
The existing task queues (taskqueue_swi and taskqueue_swi_giant) run in
software interrupt handlers, which wouldn't fix the problem at hand. So I
have created a new task queue, taskqueue_thread, that runs inside a kernel
thread. (It also runs outside of Giant -- clients must explicitly acquire
and release Giant in their taskqueue functions.)
scsi_cd.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from cdregister(), and
move it to a new function, cdsysctlinit(). Queue
cdsysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once we
have fully registered the cd(4) driver instance.
scsi_da.c: Remove sysctl variable creation code from daregister(), and
move it to move it to a new function, dasysctlinit().
Queue dasysctlinit() to the taskqueue_thread taskqueue once
we have fully registered the da(4) instance.
taskqueue.h: Declare the new taskqueue_thread taskqueue, update some
comments.
subr_taskqueue.c:
Create the new kernel thread taskqueue. This taskqueue
runs outside of Giant, so any functions queued to it would
need to explicitly acquire/release Giant if they need it.
cd.4: Update the cd(4) man page to talk about the minimum command

default_timeout and minimum_cmd_size sysctl variables/loader
tunables. Remove references to /dev/r???, they aren't used
any longer.

Changes from the original implementation:
- Fragmentation is handled by the function m_fragment, which can
be called from whereever fragmentation is needed. Note that this
function is wrapped in #ifdef MBUF_STRESS_TEST to discourage non-testing
use.
- m_fragment works slightly differently from the old fragmentation
code in that it allocates a seperate mbuf cluster for each fragment.
This defeats dma_map_load_mbuf/buffer's feature of coalescing adjacent
fragments. While that is a nice feature in practice, it nerfed the
usefulness of mbuf_stress_test.
- Add two modes of random fragmentation. Chains with fragments all of
the same random length and chains with fragments that are each uniquely
random in length may now be requested.

Notes:
1. We don't lock domain list traversals as this is safe until we start
removing domains.
2. The calculation of max_datalen in net_init_domain appears safe as
noone depends on max_hdr and max_datalen having consistent values.
3. Giant is still held for fast and slow timeouts; this must stay until
each timeout routine is properly locked (coming soon).

- The buffer returned by incore() is not locked and should not be sent to
brelse(). Use getblk() with the new GB_NOCREAT flag to preserve the
desired semantics.
sockets into machine-dependent files. The rationale for this
migration is illustrated by the modified amd64 allocator. It uses the
amd64's direct map to avoid emphemeral mappings in the kernel's
address space. On an SMP, the emphemeral mappings result in an IPI
for TLB shootdown for each transmitted page. Yuck.
Maintainers of other 64-bit platforms with direct maps should be able
to use the amd64 allocator as a reference implementation.
- Surround all accesses of the BKGRD{WAIT,INPROG} flags with the vnode
interlock.
- Don't use the B_LOCKED flag and QUEUE_LOCKED for background write
buffers. Check for the BKGRDINPROG flag before recycling or throwing
away a buffer. We do this instead because it is not safe for us to move
the original buffer to a new queue from the callback on the background
write buffer.
- Remove the B_LOCKED flag and the locked buffer queue. They are no longer
used.
- The vnode interlock is used around checks for BKGRDINPROG where it may
not be strictly necessary. If we hold the buf lock the a back-ground
write will not be started without our knowledge, one may only be
completed while we're not looking. Rather than remove the code, Document
two of the places where this extra locking is done. A pass should be
done to verify and minimize the locking later.

would be if we didn't call tc_windup over the end of day on the day of

A timecounter will be selected when registered if its quality is
not negative and no less than the current timecounters.
Add a sysctl to report all available timecounters and their qualities.
Give the dummy timecounter a solid negative quality of minus a million.
Give the i8254 zero and the ACPI 1000.
The TSC gets 800, unless APM or SMP forces it negative.
Other timecounters default to zero quality and thereby retain current
selection behaviour.

check for permissions, do it for all requests, not the known requests.
Later when we actually service the request we deal with the invalid
requests we previously caught earlier.
This commit changes the behaviour of the ptrace(2) interface for
boundary cases such as an unknown request without proper permissions.
Previously we would return EINVAL. Now we return EBUSY or EPERM.
Platforms need to define __HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP when they have MD
requests. This makes the prototype of cpu_ptrace() visible and
introduces a call to this function for all requests greater or
equal to PT_FIRSTMACH.
