In the case of the thread being on a sleepqueue or a turnstile, the
sched_lock was acquired (without the aid of the td_lock interface) and
the td_lock was dropped. This was going to break locking rules on other
threads willing to access to the thread (via the td_lock interface) and
modify his flags (allowed as long as the container lock was different
by the one used in sched_switch).
In order to prevent this situation, while sched_lock is acquired there
the td_lock gets blocked. [0]
- Merge the ULE's internal function thread_block_switch() into the global
thread_lock_block() and make the former semantic as the default for
thread_lock_block(). This means that thread_lock_block() will not
disable interrupts when called (and consequently thread_unlock_block()
will not re-enabled them when called). This should be done manually
when necessary.
Note, however, that ULE's thread_unblock_switch() is not reaped
because it does reflect a difference in semantic due in ULE (the
td_lock may not be necessarilly still blocked_lock when calling this).
While asymmetric, it does describe a remarkable difference in semantic
that is good to keep in mind.

syscall arguments are collected before ptracestop() is called. As a
consequence, debugger cannot modify syscall or its arguments.
For i386, amd64 and ia32 on amd64 MD syscall(), reread syscall number
and arguments after ptracestop(), if debugger modified anything in the
process environment. Since procfs stopeven requires number of syscall
arguments in p_xstat, this cannot be solved by moving stop/trace point
before argument fetching.
Move the code to read arguments into separate function
fetch_syscall_args() to avoid code duplication. Note that ktrace point
for modified syscall is intentionally recorded twice, once with original
arguments, and second time with the arguments set by debugger.
PT_TO_SCX stop is executed after cpu_syscall_set_retval() already.

I've noticed many applications do a bad job at timekeeping, for several
reasons:
- Applications like screen(1) don't update time records when restoring
the old user login record.
- Many applications only set ut_tv.tv_sec, not ut_tv.tv_usec.
This causes many problems for tools such as ac(8), which require the
timestamps to be properly ordered. This is why I've decided to let the
utmpx code obtain valid timestamps itself.
Instead of trying to reference-count them and free them as soon
as they are no longer needed, we now just keep them around and free
them all when we release the archive object. This fixes a number
of minor memory leaks, especially when reading damaged archives.
. Properly allocate all IO space resources. These cards scatter their
IO addresses over a range of 0x1600 bytes, and they require an
additional address for "special interrupt handling".
. Implement the "special interrupt handling" per the GPIB-PCIIA
Technical Reference Manual; this was apparently not declared for the
clone card this driver has been originally implemented for, but it
turned out to be needed for both, an original NI brand PCII/PCIIA
card as well as the Axiom AX5488 clone.
. Add some diagnostic messages for various resource allocation etc.
failures during probe.
. Add some comments about the structure of the IO address space that
is used by these cards.

- Sync SYNOPSIS with usage().
- Use an alternative way to represent short and long options which have
same semantics.

o Force the ebase to be 0x80000000 (the base that we're booted with may
need to be respected in the future).
o Initialize the clock early so we can initialize the console early
o use panic where we can now use it.
o Tag some code for parsing the boot records as belonging in the cavium sdk.
o remove support for booting on ancient boards...
# we make it further in bootstrapping now: interrupts being enabled in the

implementation of heartbeat interval was 2 but there was typo which
caused the heartbeat is sent approximately every 5 seconds. This
caused unintended controller reset by firmware because firmware
thought OS was crashed.

Basically the msg ring interrupt was being re-enabled
inside a spinlock as the thread set it self up for rescheduling.
This won't work since inside the re-enable is another
spin lock.. which means on return from the reenable
the interrupts have been reenabled. Thus you would
get a clock int and end up panicing holding a spin
lock to long :-o
loopback.
- Change the meaning of "mix" OSS control. Now it controls loopback level,
according to comments in soundcard.h.
- Allow AD1981HD codecs to use playback mixer. Now driver should be able to
really use it.
- Fix bug in shared muters operation.
the Cavium version of the boot loader puts data just after &end, so
our rounding up to the next page in clearing memory overwrote their
data, which meant we'd get a lot of wrong values for parameters to the
system.
While I'm here, remove argc/argv parsing. Those values aren't passed
in via a0 and a1, so it was a guaranted panic on some boards.
- Constify geom_config_get() name argument.
- Add void keyword for usage().
- Initialize mdunit to NULL.
- Don't call md_prthumanval() at all if length is NULL.
