Introduce a new virtualization container, provisionally named vprocg, to hold
virtualized instances of hostname and domainname, as well as a new top-level
virtualization struct vimage, which holds pointers to struct vnet and struct
vprocg. Struct vprocg is likely to become replaced in the near future with
a new jail management API import.

As a consequence of this change, change struct ucred to point to a struct
vimage, instead of directly pointing to a vnet.

Merge vnet / vimage / ucred refcounting infrastructure from p4 / vimage
branch.

Permit kldload / kldunload operations to be executed only from the default
vimage context.

This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE kernel
builds.

Change the curvnet variable from a global const struct vnet *,

should be set

Change the curvnet variable from a global const struct vnet *,
previously always pointing to the default vnet context, to a
dynamically changing thread-local one. The currvnet context
should be set on entry to networking code via CURVNET_SET() macros,
and reverted to previous state via CURVNET_RESTORE(). Recursions
on curvnet are permitted, though strongly discuouraged.

This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE
kernel builds, where CURVNET_* macros expand to whitespace.

The curthread->td_vnet (aka curvnet) variable's purpose is to be an
indicator of the vnet context in which the current network-related
operation takes place, in case we cannot deduce the current vnet
context from any other source, such as by looking at mbuf's
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif->if_vnet, sockets's so->so_vnet etc. Moreover, so
far curvnet has turned out to be an invaluable consistency checking
aid: it helps to catch cases when sockets, ifnets or any other
vnet-aware structures may have leaked from one vnet to another.

The exact placement of the CURVNET_SET() / CURVNET_RESTORE() macros
was a result of an empirical iterative process, whith an aim to
reduce recursions on CURVNET_SET() to a minimum, while still reducing
the scope of CURVNET_SET() to networking only operations - the
alternative would be calling CURVNET_SET() on each system call entry.
In general, curvnet has to be set in three typicall cases: when
processing socket-related requests from userspace or from within the
kernel; when processing inbound traffic flowing from device drivers
to upper layers of the networking stack, and when executing
timer-driven networking functions.

This change also introduces a DDB subcommand to show the list of all
vnet instances.

Several threads in a process may do vfork() simultaneously. Then, all
parent threads sleep on the parent' struct proc until corresponding
child releases the vmspace. Each sleep is interlocked with proc mutex of
the child, that triggers assertion in the sleepq_add(). The assertion
requires that at any time, all simultaneous sleepers for the channel use
the same interlock.

Silent the assertion by using conditional variable allocated in the
child. Broadcast the variable event on exec() and exit().

Since struct proc * sleep wait channel is overloaded for several
unrelated events, I was unable to remove wakeups from the places where
cv_broadcast() is added, except exec().

MFp4:
Bring in updated jail support from bz_jail branch.

This enhances the current jail implementation to permit multiple
addresses per jail. In addtion to IPv4, IPv6 is supported as well.
Due to updated checks it is even possible to have jails without
an IP address at all, which basically gives one a chroot with
restricted process view, no networking,..

SCTP support was updated and supports IPv6 in jails as well.

Cpuset support permits jails to be bound to specific processor
sets after creation.

Jails can have an unrestricted (no duplicate protection, etc.) name
in addition to the hostname. The jail name cannot be changed from
within a jail and is considered to be used for management purposes
or as audit-token in the future.

DDB 'show jails' command was added to aid debugging.

Proper compat support permits 32bit jail binaries to be used on 64bit
systems to manage jails. Also backward compatibility was preserved where
possible: for jail v1 syscalls, as well as with user space management
utilities.

Both jail as well as prison version were updated for the new features.
A gap was intentionally left as the intermediate versions had been
used by various patches floating around the last years.

Bump __FreeBSD_version for the afore mentioned and in kernel changes.

Do the pargs_hold() on the copy of the pointer to the p_args of the
child process immediately after bulk bcopy() without dropping the
process lock.

Since process is not single-threaded when forking, dropping and
reacquiring the lock allows an other thread to change the process title
of the parent in between, and results in hold being done on the invalid
pointer. The problem manifested itself as the double free of the old
p_args.

The kqueue_register() function assumes that it is called from the top of
the syscall code and acquires various event subsystem locks as needed.
The handling of the NOTE_TRACK for EVFILT_PROC is currently done by
calling the kqueue_register() from filt_proc() filter, causing recursive
entrance of the kqueue code. This results in the LORs and recursive
acquisition of the locks.

Implement the variant of the knote() function designed to only handle
the fork() event. It mostly copies the knote() body, but also handles
the NOTE_TRACK, removing the handling from the filt_proc(), where it
causes problems described above. The function is called from the fork1()
instead of knote().

When encountering NOTE_TRACK knote, it marks the knote as influx
and drops the knlist and kqueue lock. In this context call to
kqueue_register is safe from the problems.

An error from the kqueue_register() is reported to the observer as
NOTE_TRACKERR fflag.

Fix for the panic("vm_thread_new: kstack allocation failed") and
silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()
when the kmem_alloc_nofault() failed to allocate address space. Both
functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.

As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.

The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).

reversed from the new scheme. Also, make object types more
consistent and remove spaces from object types that contain
multiple parts ("posix_sem" -> "posixsem") to make mechanical

some entry point names.

Take out the single-threading code in fork.
After discussions with jeff, alc, (various Ironport people), david Xu,
and mostly Alfred (who found the problem) it has been demonstrated that this
is not needed for our implementations of threads and represents a real
(as in we've seen it happen a lot) deadlock danger.

Several points:
Since forking multiple threads is not allowed, and posix states that
any mutexes owned by othre threads wilol be owned in the child by
phantom threads, and therads shouldn't ba accessing shared structures without
protection, It can be proved that if this leads to the child process accessing
inconsistent data, it's a programming error.

The mode of thread_single() being used in fork() is the wrong one.
It is using SINGLE_NO_EXIT when it should be using SINGLE_BOUNDARY.

Even if this we used, System processes have no need to do it as they have
no userland to get inconsistent.

This commmit first fixes the above bugs to get tehm correct in CVS.
then removes them with #ifdef.
This is so that history contains the corrected version should it
be needed in the future.
This code may be needed if we implement the forkall() syscall from
Solaris. It may be needed for other non-posix thread libraries
at some time in the future, so let the code sit for a short while
while I do some work on it anyhow.

This removes a reproducible lockup in NFS.
It may be argued that maybe doing a fork while holding a vnode lock may
not be the best idea in th efirst place but it shouldn't cause a deadlock.
The removal has been running under soak test for several days now.

This removal should be seriously considered for 7.0 and RELENG_6.

Note. There is code in the core-dumping code that may have a similar problem
with coredumping threaded processes
