(show thread {address})
Remove the IDLE kse state and replace it with a change in
the way threads sahre KSEs. Every KSE now has a thread, which is
considered its "owner" however a KSE may also be lent to other
threads in the same group to allow completion of in-kernel work.
n this case the owner remains the same and the KSE will revert to the
owner when the other work has been completed.
All creations of upcalls etc. is now done from
kse_reassign() which in turn is called from mi_switch or
thread_exit(). This means that special code can be removed from
msleep() and cv_wait().
kse_release() does not leave a KSE with no thread any more but
converts the existing thread into teh KSE's owner, and sets it up
for doing an upcall. It is just inhibitted from being scheduled until
there is some reason to do an upcall.
Remove all trace of the kse_idle queue since it is no-longer needed.
"Idle" KSEs are now on the loanable queue.
The duplication is caused by the fact that imgact_elf.c is included
by both imgact_elf32.c and imgact_elf64.c and both are compiled by
default on ia64. Consequently, we have two seperate copies of the
elf_legacy_coredump variable due to them being declared static, and
two entries for the same sysctl in the linker set, both referencing
the unique copy of the elf_legacy_coredump variable. Since the second
sysctl cannot be registered, one of the elf_legacy_coredump variables
can not be tuned (if ordering still holds, it's the ELF64 related one).
The only solution is to create two different sysctl variables, just
like the elf<32|64>_trace sysctl variables. This unfortunately is an
(user) interface change, but unavoidable. Thus, on ELF32 platforms
the sysctl variable is called elf32_legacy_coredump and on ELF64
platforms it is called elf64_legacy_coredump. Platforms that have
both ELF formats have both sysctl variables.
These variables should probably be retired sooner rather than later.
skipping read-only pages, which can result in valuable non-text-related
data not getting dumped, the ELF loader and the dynamic loader now mark
read-only text pages NOCORE and the coredump code only checks (primarily) for
complete inaccessibility of the page or NOCORE being set.
Certain applications which map large amounts of read-only data will
produce much larger cores. A new sysctl has been added,
debug.elf_legacy_coredump, which will revert to the old behavior.
This commit represents collaborative work by all parties involved.
The PR contains a program demonstrating the problem.

resource starvation we clean-up as much of the vmspace structure as we
can when the last process using it exits. The rest of the structure
is cleaned up when it is reaped. But since exit1() decrements the ref
count it is possible for a double-free to occur if someone else, such as
the process swapout code, references and then dereferences the structure.
Additionally, the final cleanup of the structure should not occur until
the last process referencing it is reaped.
This commit solves the problem by introducing a secondary reference count,
calling 'vm_exitingcnt'. The normal reference count is decremented on exit
and vm_exitingcnt is incremented. vm_exitingcnt is decremented when the
process is reaped. When both vm_exitingcnt and vm_refcnt are 0, the
structure is freed for real.

they may be the only viable ones to flush. Thus it will now wait for
an inode lock if the other alternatives will result in rollbacks (and
immediate redirtying of the buffer). If only buffers with rollbacks
are available, one will be flushed, but then the buffer daemon will
wait briefly before proceeding. Failing to wait briefly effectively
deadlocks a uniprocessor since every other process writing to that
filesystem will wait for the buffer daemon to clean up which takes
close enough to forever to feel like a deadlock.

unused. Replace it with a dm_mount back-pointer to the struct mount
that the devfs_mount is associated with. Export that pointer to MAC
Framework entry points, where all current policies don't use the
pointer. This permits the SEBSD port of SELinux's FLASK/TE to compile
out-of-the-box on 5.0-CURRENT with full file system labeling support.

converting from individual vnode locks to the snapshot
lock, be sure to pass any waiting processes along to the
new lock as well. This transfer is done by a new function
in the lock manager, transferlockers(from_lock, to_lock);

his help in pounding on snapshots beyond all reason and
finding this deadlock.

1) Record all device events when devctl is enabled, rather than just when
devd has devctl open. This is necessary to prevent races between when
a device arrives, and when devd starts.
2) Add hw.bus.devctl_disable to disable devctl, this can also be set as a
tunable.
3) Fix async support. Reset nonblocking and async_td in open. remove
async flags.
4) Free all memory when devctl is disabled.
