Mark most often used sysctl's as MPSAFE.
After running a `make buildkernel', I noticed most of the Giant locks in sysctl are only caused by a very small amount of sysctl's: - sysctl.name2oid. This one is locked by SYSCTL_LOCK, just like sysctl.oidfmt. - kern.ident, kern.osrelease, kern.version, etc. These are just constant strings. - kern.arandom, used by the stack protector. It is already protected by arc4_mtx. I also saw the following sysctl's show up. Not as often as the ones above, but still quite often: - security.jail.jailed. Also mark security.jail.list as MPSAFE. They don't need locking or already use allprison_lock. - kern.devname, used by devname(3), ttyname(3), etc. This seems to reduce Giant locking inside sysctl by ~75% in my primitive test setup.
