27fc24f84e Break out two more items explicitly from the old 'proc locking' entry: 
- Proc locking for debugging interfaces and procfs
- Proc locking for monitoring sysctls, such as those used by 'ps'

Since jhb has patches that cover this, I'll assign them to him for now.
Hopefully they're on the commit fast path, and we can remove these
RSN.  I'm attempting to remove the 'proc locking' task item, since it's
sufficiently broad as to not be very instructive for those reading the
task list.

2dffcf0338 Mark in three more pieces of on-going work: 
(1) Add the p_ucred -> td_ucred task explicitly, rather than relying on
    the larger "proc locking" task.  Assign to John since he just committed
    a bunch, and I don't know if he's done (it looks like he is, so should
    close this task).

(2) Add an item for the suser and p_can*() API switches to use thread
    instead of process pointers.  Since John has patches, and has indicated
    an impending commit, assign ownership to him.

(3) arr has indicated he's taking a stab at adding locking to the kernel
    linker and module structures.  Go ahead and assign ownership to him.

738d642269 Update SMP task list 
(1) Note that Alfred has completed "simple" locking for pipes: this
    includes small reads and writes that don't trigger VM optimizations,
    and the SIGIO, fsetown(), and related inter-process evil for pipes.
    Another item off the check-list for 5.0-RELEASE.

(2) Create two new tasks: sigio/setfown/... components of pipes.  Mark
    this as WIP, and assign to Alfred.  Create a VM optimizations pipe
    task without an owner: we'll probably get this for free as part
    of fine-grained VM locking when that happens.

0b17eb790c Note Matt's pushing down of Giant into the FreeBSD ABI in October of 2001. 
Note that the remaining ABIs have not yet had Giant pushed down, including
those I could find in a quick scan of the tree:

	Linux i386		\
	Linux AXP		/ Some of these may be overlapped

	OSF/1 AXP

0cca4ba83c Add a lock contention measuring tool to the list of desirable features 
without an owner.  To measure the effectiveness of our locking strategy,
optimality of mutex pools, etc, we'll need a tool that tells us what
locks are the "hottest", as well as other useful statistics such as
average latency to wait on a lock, perhaps throughput on the lock, etc.
This task will require some relatively in-depth analysis of what we need
to know, not just hacking, but should prove interesting and highly
valuable.

proc locking work, but I figured I might as well add it anyway.

84c9a07e37 o Add the pipe implementation to the list of targets to lock. It isn't 
mentioned in the list because details aren't, but this is complicated
  by the presence of VM magic in the pipe implementation.  However, VM
  isn't involved in small pipe operations, and small pipe operations are
  critical to the performance of large build operations involving make.
  It looks like pushing small pipe operations out from under giant would
  have a large impact on build performance, making this an appealing
  target as file_ops becomes safe.
