Split the sysctl setup routine into two routines, one for each
"subtree". Perhaps it's a little pedantic, but it's cleaner. Also,
assert that the "kern" and "vm" nodes exist.
process context ('reaper').
From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.
MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.
g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
an offset between ss_sp and struct sa_stackinfo_t (located in struct
__pthread_st) when calling sa_register. The kernel increments the
sast_gen counter in struct sastack when an upcall stack is used.
libpthread increments the sasi_stackgen counter in struct
sa_stackinfo_t when an upcall stack is freed. The kernel compares the
two counters to decide if a stack is free or in use.
- add struct sa_stackinfo_t with sasi_stackgen to count stack use in
userland
- add sast_gen to struct sastack to count stack use in kernel
- add SA_FLAG_STACKINFO to enable the stackinfo_offset argument in the
sa_register syscall
- add sa_stackinfo_offset to struct sadata for offset between ss_sp
and struct sa_stackinfo_t
- add ssize_t stackinfo_offset argument to sa_register, initialize
struct sadata's sa_stackinfo_offset from it if SA_FLAG_STACKINFO is
set
- add sa_getstack, sa_getstack0, sa_stackused and sa_setstackfree
functions to find/use/free upcall stacks and use these where
appropriate
- don't record stack for upcall in sa_upcall0
- pass sau to sa_switchcall instead of l2 (l2 = curlwp in sa_switchcall)
- add sa_vp_blocker to struct sadata to pass recently blocked lwp to
sa_switchcall
- delay finding a stack for blocked upcalls to sa_switchcall
- add sa_stacknext to struct sadata pointing to next most likely free
upcall stack; also g/c sa_stackslist in struct sadata and sast_list
in struct sastack
- add L_SA_WOKEN flag: LWP is on sa_woken queue
- add L_SA_RECYCLE flag: LWP should be recycled in sa_setwoken
- replace l_upcallstack with L_SA_WOKEN/L_SA_RECYCLE/L_SA_BLOCKING
flags
- g/c now unused sast_blocker in struct sastack
- make sa_switchcall, sa_upcall0 and sa_upcall_getstate static in
kern_sa.c
- call sa_upcall_userret only once in userret
- split sa_makeupcalls out of sa_upcall_userret and use to process
the sa_upcalls queue
- on process exit: mark LWPs sleeping in saunblock interruptible; also
there are no LWPs sleeping on l->l_upcallstack anymore; also clear
sa_wokenq_head to prevent unblocked upcalls
additional changes:
- cleanup timerupcall sa_vp == curlwp check
- add check in sa_yield if we didn't block on our way here and we
wouldn't any longer be the LWP on the VP
- invalidate sa_vp_ofaultaddr after resolving pagefault
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
need the data in the mbuf later and m_clget() changes some fields
overlaid to regular mbuf data. Instead, rearange code a bit, create
data into a new allocated buffer and and use MEXTADD to attach it to
the mbuf, if the mbuf internal space is not sufficient.
This fixes a crash on sparc64 (and probably all other archs where
sizeof(int) != sizeof(struct file *)) when running
regress/sys/kern/unfdpass.

being requested so that (1) the uniprocessor case and the
multiprocessor case are more similar and (2) so that we return ENOENT
when a non-existent processor is requested (which is both more
sensible and follows the general order of things anyway).
domainname. Note that there's no need to copy rnode since we're not
changing any of it, nor protecting anything from change.
Thanks to martin for initial work.
fit what it does.
The softsignal feature is used in Darwin to trace processes. When the
traced process gets a signal, this raises an exception. The debugger will
receive the exception message, use ptrace with PT_THUPDATE to pass the
signal to the child or discard it, and then it will send a reply to the
exception message, to resume the child.
With the hook at the beginnng of kpsignal2, we are in the context of the
signal sender, which can be the kill(1) command, for instance. We cannot
afford to sleep until the debugger tells us if the signal should be
delivered or not.
Therefore, the hook to generate the Mach exception must be in the traced
process context. That was we can sleep awaiting for the debugger opinion
about the signal, this is not a problem. The hook is hence located into
issignal, at the place where normally SIGCHILD is sent to the debugger,
whereas the traced process is stopped. If the hook returns 0, we bypass
thoses operations, the Mach exception mecanism will take care of notifying
the debugger (through a Mach exception), and stop the faulting thread.
exec case, as the emulation already has the ability to intercept that
with the e_proc_exec hook. It is the responsability of the emulation to
take appropriaye action about lwp_emuldata in e_proc_exec.

Additionaly, rearange code for better readability (from Andrew).
