* introduce fsetown(), fgetown(), fownsignal() - this sets/retrieves/signals
the owner of descriptor, according to appropriate sematics
of TIOCSPGRP/FIOSETOWN/SIOCSPGRP/TIOCGPGRP/FIOGETOWN/SIOCGPGRP ioctl; use
these routines instead of custom code where appropriate
* make every place handling TIOCSPGRP/TIOCGPGRP handle also FIOSETOWN/FIOGETOWN
properly, and remove the translation of FIO[SG]OWN to TIOC[SG]PGRP
in sys_ioctl() & sys_fcntl()
* also remove the socket-specific hack in sys_ioctl()/sys_fcntl() and
pass the ioctls down to soo_ioctl() as any other ioctl
change discussed on tech-kern@
during a read(v)/write(v). If that happeded, we either passed a NULL
pointer or a pointer to something uninitialized as iov to ktrace,
or we got a memory leak. In read/write (w/o -v) we zero-initialize
the iov now to limit damage, in the -v calls the (dynamically allocated)
pointer is checked after the I/O.
- 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

- add simple lock for the list
- make get function remove the item from the list
- eliminate superfluous functions
thanks to enami and matt for the feedback.

TODO:
1. since timer stuff gets called from an interrupt context, we could
preallocate ksiginfo_t's from the pool, so we don't need a kmem
pool.
2. probably the sa signal delivery syscall can be changed to take
a ksiginfo_t so we can use only one pool.
3. maybe when we add realtime signal support, add a resource limit
on the number of ksiginfo_t's a process can allocate.
and exit(): we have to lookup the entry in the private copy
again, otherwise the wrong list is manipulated.
should fix a panic on postgres shutdown reported by Marc Recht
being here, improve sone debug messages
shminfo.shmseg, in view of the fact that only few processes utilize a
significant fraction of it:
-turn the table into a linked list, elements allocated from a pool(9)
-On fork(), just bump a refcount instead of copying the list; it will
be decremented on exit() and exec(). Only copy if an attach or detach
takes place in between, which is rarely the case.
