generate unblocked upcalls in sa_unblock_userret(), before signal

Also defer getting state for preempted upcalls because on some ports

its state is saved:
- don't sa_putcachelwp() in sa_vp_repossess/sa_vp_donate
- only defer saving the event LWP's state
- sa_putcachelwp() after the interrupted LWP's state is saved
-obey ELF_LINK_ADDR in ELF_load_file()
-set ELF_LINK_ADDR in the probe() function if needed
-make ELF_NULL_ADDR the default, so that probe() functions dont need

-allocate buffer for interpreter name only if needed
initialized. Update the txp(4) to compensate.
- Statically initialize the TCP timer callout handles in the tcpcb
template. We still use callout_setfunc(), but that call is now much
less expensive. Add a comment that the compiler is likely to unroll
the loop (so don't sweat that it's there).

static binary: otool). Dynamic binaires have a pointer to the Mach-O
header on the top of the stack, static binaries don't have this, and
having it produced a crash.
One bugfix: the EXEC_MACHO code assumes that entry = NULL means that
the entry point has not been found in the load commands seen so far.
Therefore we need to initialized entry to NULL if we want a static binary
to discover it. (dynamic binaries were forced to iscover it because when
the intepreter load command is found, entry is updated whatever its
value was before).
One hack: Both COMPAT_MACH and COMPAT_DARWIN are willing to run Mach-O
binaries. COMPAT_MACH fails for dynamic binaries because it cannot find
the interpreter in /emul/mach. For static binaires, it will accept them
(and for Darwin static binaries, this will cause a failure). Until we
rite a test for matchinf Darwin static binaries, just swap the order of
COMPAT_MACH and COMPAT_DARWIN in the exec switch so that COMPAT_DARWIN
is tried first (this will have the advantage of speeding up program
startup). EXECSW_PRIO_{FIRST_LAST} does not seem to work...
file system.
The function vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a file
system, allows any file system modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the file system to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
complete.
From FreeBSD with slight modifications.

<sys/bootblock.h>:
* Added definitions for the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by
a variety of systems (primarily i386), including the format
of the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB).
This information was cribbed from a variety of sources
including <sys/disklabel_mbr.h> which this is a superset of.
As part of this, some data structure elements and #defines
were renamed to be more "namespace friendly" and consistent
with other bootblocks and MBR documentation.
Update all uses of the old names to the new names.
<sys/disklabel_mbr.h>:
* Deprecated in favor of <sys/bootblock.h> (the latter is more
"host tool" friendly).
amd64 & i386:
* Renamed /usr/mdec/bootxx_dosfs to /usr/mdec/bootxx_msdos, to
be consistent with the naming convention of the msdosfs tools.
* Removed /usr/mdec/bootxx_ufs, as it's equivalent to bootxx_ffsv1
and it's confusing to have two functionally equivalent bootblocks,
especially given that "ufs" has multiple meanings (it could be
a synonym for "ffs", or the group of ffs/lfs/ext2fs file systems).
* Rework pbr.S (the first sector of bootxx_*):
+ Ensure that BPB (bytes 11..89) and the partition table
(bytes 446..509) do not contain code.
+ Add support for booting from FAT partitions if BOOT_FROM_FAT
is defined. (Only set for bootxx_msdos).
+ Remove "dummy" partition 3; if people want to installboot(8)
these to the start of the disk they can use fdisk(8) to
create a real MBR partition table...
+ Compile with TERSE_ERROR so it fits because of the above.
Whilst this is less user friendly, I feel it's important
to have a valid partition table and BPB in the MBR/PBR.
* Renamed /usr/mdec/biosboot to /usr/mdec/boot, to be consistent
with other platforms.
* Enable SUPPORT_DOSFS in /usr/mdec/boot (stage2), so that
we can boot off FAT partitions.
* Crank version of /usr/mdec/boot to 3.1, and fix some of the other
entries in the version file.
installboot(8) (i386):
* Read the existing MBR of the filesystem and retain the BIOS
Parameter Block (BPB) in bytes 11..89 and the MBR partition
table in bytes 446..509. (Previously installboot(8) would
trash those two sections of the MBR.)
mbrlabel(8):
* Use sys/lib/libkern/xlat_mbr_fstype.c instead of homegrown code
to map the MBR partition type to the NetBSD disklabel type.
Test built "make release" for i386, and new bootblocks verified to work
(even off FAT!).
Right now the only flag is used to indicate if a ksiginfo_t is a
result of a trap. Add a predicate macro to test for this flag.
* Add initialization macros for ksiginfo_t's.
* Add accssor macro for ksi_trap. Expands to 0 if the ksiginfo_t was
not the result of a trap. This matches the sigcontext trapcode semantics.
* In kpsendsig(), use KSI_TRAP_P() to select the lwp that gets the signal.
Inspired by Matthias Drochner's fix to kpsendsig(), but correctly handles
the case of non-trap-generated signals that have a > 0 si_code.
This patch fixes a signal delivery problem with threaded programs noted by
Matthias Drochner on tech-kern.
As discussed on tech-kern. Reviewed and OK's by Christos.
* 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.

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.

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.

Fixes a bug where by calling shutdown() on a socket with knotes
will cause the kernel to panic when the kernel closes the socket.
Other access, such as calling kevent() may also trigger the panic.

also, add (currently unused) seqnr field to struct

and make the stack and heap non-executable by default. the changes
fall into two basic catagories:
- pmap and trap-handler changes. these are all MD:
= alpha: we already track per-page execute permission with the (software)
PG_EXEC bit, so just have the trap handler pay attention to it.
= i386: use a new GDT segment for %cs for processes that have no
executable mappings above a certain threshold (currently the
bottom of the stack). track per-page execute permission with
the last unused PTE bit.
= powerpc/ibm4xx: just use the hardware exec bit.
= powerpc/oea: we already track per-page exec bits, but the hardware only
implements non-exec mappings at the segment level. so track the
number of executable mappings in each segment and turn on the no-exec
segment bit iff the count is 0. adjust the trap handler to deal.
= sparc (sun4m): fix our use of the hardware protection bits.
fix the trap handler to recognize text faults.
= sparc64: split the existing unified TSB into data and instruction TSBs,
and only load TTEs into the appropriate TSB(s) for the permissions.
fix the trap handler to check for execute permission.
= not yet implemented: amd64, hppa, sh5
- changes in all the emulations that put a signal trampoline on the stack.
instead, we now put the trampoline into a uvm_aobj and map that into
the process separately.
originally from openbsd, adapted for netbsd by me.
- Write label to all netbsd (type 169) mbr partitions (even if they don't
already have a label).
- Update any label found in sector LABELSECTOR and sector 0.
Latter change makes DIOCWDINFO (etc) work on raidframe (fixing bin/22529).
The patch below (hopefully) improves some signaling problems
found by Nathan.
It also contains some cleanup of the sa_upcall_userret() function
removing any sleep calls using PCATCH.
Unblocked threads now only use an upcall stack after they
acquire the virtual CPU.
This prevents unblocked threads from stealing all available
upcall stacks.
Tested by Nick Hudson.
