- use splay tree for the pagefault check if the thread was running on
an upcall stack.
=> removes the limitation that all upcall stacks need to be
adjoining and that all upcall stacks have to be loaded with the
1st sys_sa_stacks call.
=> enables keeping information associated with a stack in the kernel
which makes it simpler to find out which LWP is using a stack.
=> allows increasing the SA_MAXNUMSTACKS without having to
allocate an array of that size.
of the sibling list so that find_stopped_child can be optimised to avoid
traversing the entire sibling list - helps when a process has a lot of
children.
- Modify locking in pfind() and pgfind() to that the caller can rely on the
result being valid, allow caller to request that zombies be findable.
- Rename pfind() to p_find() to ensure we break binary compatibility.
- Remove svr4_pfind since p_find willnow do the job.
- Modify some of the SMP locking of the proc lists - signals are still stuffed.

- kern_sa.c: sa_yield/sa_switch: detect if there are pending unblocked
upcalls.
- kern_sa.c: sa_unblock_userret/sa_setwoken: queue LWPs about to invoke
an unblocked upcall on the sa_wokenq. put queued LWPs in a state where
they can be put in the cache. notify LWP on the VP about pending
upcalls.
- kern_sa.c: sa_upcall_userret: check sa_wokenq for pending upcalls,
generate unblocked upcalls with multiple event sas
- kern_sa.c: sa_vp_repossess/sa_vp_donate: g/c, restore original

- prevent BLOCKED upcalls on double page faults and during upcalls
- make libpthread handle blocked threads which hold locks
- prevent UNBLOCKED upcalls from overtaking their BLOCKED upcall
this adds a new syscall sa_unblockyield

the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.

cached SA LWPs aren't counted in p_nlwps, it was possible for
them to not be cleaned up and remain on the alllwp list, pointing to a
dead proc.
need to reparent the process to initproc, so that child wouldn't
have its p_pptr pointer still pointing on the exited parent

didn't have this bug)
reparented back to original parent before it's killed.
This makes the original parent aware that the child has exited if
the debugger failed to wait() on the debugged zombie before exiting.
Since we clear tracing flags before killing the child, the reparenting
logic in wait4() wouldn't be triggered, so it's necessary to do it here.

kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals

do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale

gets reset properly when the old parent exits before the child. A flag
is set in old parent process when the child is reparented in ptrace(2).
If it's set when process is exiting, all running processes have their
'old parent process' pointer checked and reset if appropriate. Also
change to use 'struct proc *' pointer directly, rather than pid_t.

space is already torn down in uvmspace_free() when the vmspace
refrence count reaches 0. Move the shmexit() call into uvmspace_free().
Note that there is a beneficial side-effect of deferring the unmap
to uvmspace_free() -- on systems where TLB invalidations are
particularly expensive, the unmapping of the address space won't
have to cause TLB invalidations; uvmspace_free() is going to be
run in a context other than the exiting process's, so the "pmap is
active" test will evaluate to FALSE in the pmap module.
