The symptom was that sometimes file systems would occasionally not appear
in output from 'df' or 'mount' if the system was busy. Resolution:
- Make mount locks work somewhat like vm_map locks.
- vfs_trybusy() now only fails if the mount is gone, or if someone is
unmounting the file system. Simple contention on mnt_lock doesn't
cause it to fail.
- vfs_busy() will wait even if the file system is being unmounted.
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.
- Do reference counting for 'struct mount'. Each vnode associated with a
mount takes a reference, and in turn the mount takes a reference to the
vfsops.
- Now that mounts are reference counted, replace the overcomplicated mount
locking inherited from 4.4BSD with a recursable rwlock.
vmspace information fails.
Return the nice value properly to userland via the /proc/<pid>/stat entry.
Use vm sizes from vmspace, rather than rusage structs, for the same
reasons as mentioned previously - see the comment in
kvm_proc.c::kvm_getproc2() about rusage values and zombie processes.
+ in /proc/<pid>/statm emulation, use the memory values from vmspace,
rather than struct rusage, since the rusage values appear to be 0 for
all processes except zombies. cf dsl's comment in
kvm_proc.c::kvm_getproc2()
+ in /proc/<pid>/stat, instead of returning the tv_sec value, return the
number of ticks we've had (roughly equivalent to the Linux jiffies).
Calculate these values from the tv_usec values.
Also:

Together, these changes allow htop to work on NetBSD.

Factor out some common code so that it can be used by a number of
functions.

be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
