we no longer need to guard against access from hardware interrupt handlers.
Additionally, if cloning a process with CLONE_SIGHAND, arrange to have the
child process share the parent's lock so that signal state may be kept in
sync. Partially addresses PR kern/37437.
proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.
instead of doing it in syscall_intern().
Note that syscall_intern() must still be called when the flags change
since many ports use a different copy of the syscall entry code when
tracing is enabled.
Instead of passing the (un)real system call code and syscall table pointer,
just pass the number of arguments - which is what ktrace really wants.

Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).

emulation lookups.
If doing a lookup relative to the emulation root, prepend the emulation root
to the traced filename.
While here pass the filename length through to the ktrace code since namei()
knows the length and ktr_namei() would have to call strlen().
Note: that if namei() is being called during execve processing, the emulation
root name isn't available and "/emul/???" is used. Also namei() has to use
strlen() to get the lenght on the emulatoon root - even though it is a
compile-time constant string.
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.

First, remove process_checkioperm() calls from MD code. Similar checks
using kauth(9) routines (on the process scope, using appropriate action)
are done in the callers.
Add secmodel back-end to handle each subsystem.

time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via

- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.

shortcut to the process of the passed lwp paniced the kernel since lwp
could/can be passwd as NULL in VOP_WRITE().
This was happening when ktracing to NFS. The function ktrwrite() set the
uio_lwp to NULL and then calls VOP_WRITE() with this argument. nfs_write()
then accessed lwp *l->l_proc wich paniced.
Thanks to David Laight for his help on tracking it down.
