kthread_create(). Implement kthread_exit() (causes a thrad to exit).
Set P_NOCLDWAIT on kernel threads, which will cause any of their children
to be reparented to init(8) (which is already prepared to wait out orphaned
processes).
parents would be get remade, even if children were not really updated
by the commands executed for them. It also makes all the children have
the real modification time set if possible, so it should fix some other
timing weirdnesses...
- collapse childMade and make fields into flags and convert them to bits
CHILDMADE and REMAKE
- introduce FORCE flag that gets set in all the parents of a child that
has no sources and does not exist.
- set oodate if the FORCE flag is set, and not if CHILDMADE
- centralize the RECHECK into Make_Recheck() and use this in make.c and compat.c
- use Make_TimeStamp for all child -> parent timestamp propagations
a union mount.
eg.
src: FORCE
FORCE is a fake target that does not have sources. When FORCE is
considered made it gets updated with the current timestamp. If the
directory happens to have the same timestamp too, then it will not
be made because it is considered to be up-to-date with respect to
the child. This can happen because the time resolution is only in
seconds. It is more likely to happen on a union filesystem where
the timestamps take longer to update.
The fix is to consider the parent unmade when children have been
updated.
- cpu_set_kpc() now takes void *arg third argument, passed to the
entry point.
- cpu_fork() allows parent to be non-curproc iff parent is proc0.
When forking non-curproc, assume its state has already been saved.
- Adjust various pieces of machine-dependent code to account of all of this.

in the future):
- New function, fork_kthread(), takes entry point, argument for entry point,
and comment for new proc. May be called by any context, will fork the
thread from proc0 (requires slight changes to cpu_fork()).
- cpu_set_kpc() now takes a third argument, a void *arg to pass to the
thread entry point. Thread entry point now takes void * instead of
struct proc *.
- Create the pagedaemon and reaper kernel threads using fork_kthread().
