that is priority is rasied. Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,

This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).
XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,

XXX spl*() functions are fixed.

Schroder <perseant@hitl.washington.edu>, unlock the mounted on
vnode before we call VFS_ROOT so that we cover the case where the new
root vnode shares a lock with the mounted-on vnode. Note that we have
asserted vfs_busy on the new fs before unlocking, so no other process can
steal the mount out from under us.
The problem was due to an interaction between the doomed unmounts done by
amd and getnewvnode.
I convinced myself that it's ok for getnewvnode() to do a sleeping vfs_busy().
Tested with multiple builds running while another process attempted to unmount

to the ACQUIRE() macro (compiler can [and does] optimize the constant

to call printf() to display debugging information (and thus deadlock
on recursion into the kprintf_slock).
- Now compatible with MULTIPROCESSOR (requires other changes not yet
committed, but which will be later today).
- In addition to tracking simple locks, track exclusive spin locks.
- Count spin locks like we do sleep locks (in the cpu_info for this
CPU).
- Lock debug lists are now TAILQs, so as to make the locking order
more obvious when dumping the list.
Also, some suggestions from Bill Sommerfeld:
- SIMPLELOCK_LOCKED and SIMPLELOCK_UNLOCKED constants, which may be
defined in <machine/lock.h> (default to 1 and 0, respectively). This
makes it easier to support architectures which use test-and-clear
rather than test-and-set.
- Add __attribute__((__aligned__)) to the `lock_data' member of the
simplelock structure. This makes it easier to support architectures
which can only perform atomic operations on very-well-aligned memory
locations. NOTE: This changes the size of struct simplelock, and
will cause a version bump.

Use a read lock every where else, including within schedcpu() (interrupt
context). Note that holding the write lock implies blocking schedcpu()
from running (blocks softclock).
PID allocation is now MP-safe.
Note this actually fixes a bug on single processor systems that was probably
extremely difficult to tickle; it was possible that schedcpu() would run
off a bad pointer if the right clock interrupt happened to come in the
middle of a LIST_INSERT_HEAD() or LIST_REMOVE() to/from allproc.
and PID allocation MP-safe. A new process state is added: SDEAD. This
state indicates that a process is dead, but not yet a zombie (has not
yet been processed by the process reaper).
SDEAD processes exist on both the zombproc list (via p_list) and deadproc
(via p_hash; the proc has been removed from the pidhash earlier in the exit
path). When the reaper deals with a process, it changes the state to
SZOMB, so that wait4 can process it.
Add a P_ZOMBIE() macro, which treats a proc in SZOMB or SDEAD as a zombie,
and update various parts of the kernel to reflect the new state.

- When the exit signal is specified to be 0, don't just assume they
meant SIGCHLD. In the Linux world, this appears to mean "don't deliver

the exit signal to SIGCHLD if reparenting to initproc.
A very simple clone(2) test program now works, and the MpegTV package

bug which keeps it from working properly).
getnewvnode now checks this bit, and it if's set makes sure a vnode's not
locked before removing it from the free list.
