Avoids a lot of casting and removes the need for some line breaks.
Removed a load of (caddr_t) casts from calls to copyin/copyout as well.

syscall sys_timer_settime()) to take an absolute value for realtime
timers. This avoids a pair of gratiuitous conversions with the
possibility that the timer's intermediate value would be 0.0, which
would signal timer_settime() to cancel the timer.
Adjust callers of timer_settime() to compensate; catch the case where
sys_timer_settime() with an absolute time value of now and a virtual
timer would also be subtracted down to a timer-cancelling 0.0.
This should fix the bug seen in libpthread's nanosleep() where certain
applications, such as xmms, would wedge with unexpired userlevel
alarms.
people would read that list in a more timely fashion!), change the new
64-bit memory reporting sysctl nodes to report bytes. This should not
be a problem, since it's only a week old, and no applications use the
new nodes yet.
be returning because the code path that calls is will very likely call
setrunnable() again on the returned thread, leading to a panic because
the thread returned is already at LSRUN. This fixes a problem where netbsd
would panic when using gdb (5.3) on a process with multiple lwp's like this:
% gdb program
(gdb) run
^C
(gdb) quit
We cannot store LWP pointers permanently in lock structures, for two reasons:
1) They are somewhat ephemeral. Dangling pointers are bad.
2) A different LWP may issue the unlock, and in this case, we were not actually
doing the unlock at all. This was causing processes to exit without undoing
fcntl(2) locks. Furthermore, the locks are process-specific to begin with,
so the test was just plain wrong.
Instead, we go back to storing a proc pointer for POSIX locks. In addition, we
add an extra pointer to the LWP, which is used in deadlock detection. After
the lock is granted, this pointer is 0ed and there is no reference to the LWP.

Also, teach ps how to show the names for all the uids, the rest of the

this alignment would have been backward into the dataspace covered by
MAXDSIZ. Now the alignment is done forward. XXX It is expected that
in the TOPDOWN case, VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS will make sure any address it
returns has the proper alignment for that architecure.
psection alignment. XXX If the psection alignment is greater than the page
alignment, extra pages may be mapped that will never be needed. This is
inefficient and wasteful of swap space and needs to be fixed.
VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS from elf*_makecmds to elf*_load_file. In load_file,
actually determine ahead of time how much space will be needed and pass
that to VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS. Now we have a relatistic starting address
so we can do the loading of psections normally with no extra topdown
code in load_psection. Also, if there is a gap in betweeen psections
zero map an inaccessible region between (just like ld.elf_so does) to
avoid inadvertant mmaps in the gap.
Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.

means that the dynamic linker gets mapped in at the top of available
user virtual memory (typically just below the stack), shared libraries
get mapped downwards from that point, and calls to mmap() that don't
specify a preferred address will get mapped in below those.
This means that the heap and the mmap()ed allocations will grow
towards each other, allowing one or the other to grow larger than
before. Previously, the heap was limited to MAXDSIZ by the placement
of the dynamic linker (and the process's rlimits) and the space
available to mmap was hobbled by this reservation.
This is currently only enabled via an *option* for the i386 platform
(though other platforms are expected to follow). Add "options
USE_TOPDOWN_VM" to your kernel config file, rerun config, and rebuild
your kernel to take advantage of this.
Note that the pmap_prefer() interface has not yet been modified to
play nicely with this, so those platforms require a bit more work
(most notably the sparc) before they can use this new memory
arrangement.
This change also introduces a VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS() macro that picks
the appropriate default address based on the size of the allocation or
the size of the process's text segment accordingly. Several drivers
and the SYSV SHM address assignment were changed to use this instead
of each one picking their own "default".
sa_switch() invocations while exiting. Test P_SA instead of L_SA, out
of paranoia. Avoids a possible remrunqueue panic reported by Havard
Eidnes.
Release the kernel lock before calling the userret function to exit in

Also, since the changes are pretty invasive, there little point in keeping

command from ddb. Defaults to ``on''.
* Change the semantics of proc_unstop() slightly, so that it is
responsible for making all stopped LWPs runnable, instead of
all-but-one. Return value is a LWP that can be interrupted if doing
so is necessary to take a signal. Adjust callers of proc_stop() to
the new, simpler semantics.
* When a non-continue signal is delivered to a stopped process and
there is a LWP sleeping interruptably, call setrunnable() (by way
of the 'out:' target in psignal1) instead of calling unsleep() so
that it becomes LSSTOP in issignal() and continuable by
proc_unstop(). Addresses PR kern/19990 by Martin Husemann, with
suggestions from enami tsugutomo.
