with newlock2 merge:
Replace the Mach-derived boolean_t type with the C99 bool type. A
future commit will replace use of TRUE and FALSE with true and false.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.

- Don't consider kernel threads when calculating the load average. Their
priorities are no longer adjusted by the scheduler, and their level of
activity is dependent upon running user processes.
- Change the (l->l_priority > PZERO) check in uvm_meter() to (l->l_flag &
L_SINTR). I think this check was originally intended to weed out
processes sleeping interruptably.

To verify that no nasty side effects of duplicate includes (or their
removal) have an effect here, I've compiled an i386/ALL kernel with
and without the patch, and the only difference in the resulting .o
files was in shifted line numbers in some assert() calls.
The comparison of the .o files was based on the output of "objdump -D".
Thanks to martin@ for the input on testing.
- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).

- complete workqueue(9) and fix its ipl problem, which is reported
to cause audio skipping.
- fix netbt (at least compilation problems) for some ports.
- fix PR/33218.
- LOCKPARENT is no longer relevant for lookup(), relookup() or VOP_LOOKUP().
these now always return the parent vnode locked. namei() works as before.
lookup() and various other paths no longer acquire vnode locks in the
wrong order via vrele(). fixes PR 32535.
as a nice side effect, path lookup is also up to 25% faster.
- the above allows us to get rid of PDIRUNLOCK.
- also get rid of WANTPARENT (just use LOCKPARENT and unlock it).
- remove an assumption in layer_node_find() that all file systems implement
a recursive VOP_LOCK() (unionfs doesn't).
- require that all file systems supply vfs_vptofh and vfs_fhtovp routines.
fill in eopnotsupp() for file systems that don't support being exported
and remove the checks for NULL. (layerfs calls these without checking.)
- in union_lookup1(), don't change refcounts in the ISDOTDOT case, just
adjust which vnode is locked. fixes PR 33374.
- apply fixes for ufs_rename() from ufs_vnops.c rev. 1.61 to ext2fs_rename().
dumpdev. this occurs when we try to set the dumpdev to a device
with no driver loaded. this fixes PR#34872.
in sys_swapctl, if bdevsw_lookup() fails, set dumpdev = NODEV
before calling cpu_dumpconf(). (this also fixes PR#34872.)
XXX: cpu_dumpconf() should probably be changed to take a dumpdev
XXX: and return an error in such cases, but that is a much more
XXX: intrusive change.
XXX2: this is only run-tested on sparc64 and compile tested on a
XXX2: couple of platforms.
- Add a few scopes to the kernel: system, network, and machdep.
- Add a few more actions/sub-actions (requests), and start using them as
opposed to the KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER place-holders.
- Introduce a basic set of listeners that implement our "traditional"
security model, called "bsd44". This is the default (and only) model we
have at the moment.
- Update all relevant documentation.
- Add some code and docs to help folks who want to actually use this stuff:
* There's a sample overlay model, sitting on-top of "bsd44", for
fast experimenting with tweaking just a subset of an existing model.
This is pretty cool because it's *really* straightforward to do stuff
you had to use ugly hacks for until now...
* And of course, documentation describing how to do the above for quick
reference, including code samples.
All of these changes were tested for regressions using a Python-based
testsuite that will be (I hope) available soon via pkgsrc. Information
about the tests, and how to write new ones, can be found on:
http://kauth.linbsd.org/kauthwiki
NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: *PLEASE* don't add any code that does any of the
following:
- Uses a KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER kauth(9) request,
- Checks 'securelevel' directly,
- Checks a uid/gid directly.
(or if you feel you have to, contact me first)
This is still work in progress; It's far from being done, but now it'll
be a lot easier.

Many thanks to YAMAMOTO Takashi, Matt Thomas, and Christos Zoulas for help
stablizing kauth(9).
Full credit for the regression tests, making sure these changes didn't break
anything, goes to Matt Fleming and Jaime Fournier.
Happy birthday Randi! :)

it also fixes a deadlock. (g_glock vs pages locking order)

executable mapping. Up to now, only R+W was requested from pmap_kenter_pa.
On most CPUs, we get an executable mapping anyway, due to lack of
hardware support or due to lazyness in the pmap implementation. Only
alpha does obey VM_PROT_EXECUTE, afaics.

Lots of comments and help from YAMAMOTO Takashi, also thanks to the PaX
author for being quick to recognize that something fishy's going on. :)
Hook up in mmap/vmcmd rather than (ugh!) uvm_map_protect().
Next time I suggest to commit a temporary solution just revoke my
commit bit.
* uvm_loanzero may call uvm_analloc which will return with anon->an_lock
locked. This lock is never dropped by uvm_loanzero and AFAICS the caller
doesn't drop it either.
any purpose (done by a macro, so we don't save any cycles for now)
-kill vm_fault_t; it is not needed for real faults, and for simulated
faults (wiring) it can be replaced by UVM internal flags
-remove <uvm/uvm_fault.h> from uvm_extern.h again
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
where pgo_get returns pages which don't belong to the uobj.
also fix an XXX in uvm_loananon and lock-unlock mismatch in uvm_loanuobj.
PR/28372, PR/32665 (Alan Barrett).
use pmap_is_referenced rather than pmap_clear_reference.
we don't need to clear the bit here as we'll do so when
moving pages back to inactive queue again. pointed by Chuck Silvers.
