KSE Milestone 2
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

UPAGES as a constant is gone in KSE. We are going to have to trust

Check for the PS_SINTR flag in the right field of struct kinfo_proc
(ki_sflag).

Depollute headers now that the VM headers DTRT.

Compensate for header dethreading.

Small optimization: set use_ampm only when needed

Use AM/PM time only when available in locale

Catch up to new priority interface.

Use decimal point from locale

- Catch up to new proc flags.

Change the proc information returned from the kernel so that it
no longer contains kernel specific data structures, but rather
only scalar values and structures that are already part of the
kernel/user interface, specifically rusage and rtprio. It no
longer contains proc, session, pcred, ucred, procsig, vmspace,
pstats, mtx, sigiolst, klist, callout, pasleep, or mdproc. If
any of these changed in size, ps, w, fstat, gcore, systat, and
top would all stop working. The new structure has over 200 bytes
of unassigned space for future values to be added, yet is nearly
100 bytes smaller per entry than the structure that it replaced.

Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).

This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.

For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".

Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.

Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.

It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.

A few notes:

I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.

The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.

mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.

/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.

Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.

There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.

Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!

Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

Have fun...

Look at p_lock instead of P_NOSWAP etc as an indicator of unswappability.
(While here, put a #ifndef pgtok around the macro that gets a redefinition
warning)

Fix formatting of %CPU value on alpha.

Submitted by: Hidetoshi Shimokawa <simokawa@sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp>

Portability fixes when sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).

Fixed printf format errors (second round with non-i386 typedefs).

Oops, the previous log message should have read "Fixed type mismatches -
don't assume that time_t is long".

Fixed printf format errors.

Fixed imperfections in previous commit (a poor variable name,
excessive 64-bit arithmetic, and excessive changes).

Some cleanups related to timecounters and weird ifdefs in <sys/time.h>.

Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.

Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.

Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.

Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.

Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.

Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()

This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

WARNING: Programs which muck about with struct proc in userland
will have to be fixed.
