Extend the support for exempting processes from being killed when swap is
exhausted. - Add a new protect(1) command that can be used to set or revoke protection from arbitrary processes. Similar to ktrace it can apply a change to all existing descendants of a process as well as future descendants. - Add a new procctl(2) system call that provides a generic interface for control operations on processes (as opposed to the debugger-specific operations provided by ptrace(2)). procctl(2) uses a combination of idtype_t and an id to identify the set of processes on which to operate similar to wait6(). - Add a PROC_SPROTECT control operation to manage the protection status of a set of processes. MADV_PROTECT still works for backwards compatability. - Add a p_flag2 to struct proc (and a corresponding ki_flag2 to kinfo_proc) the first bit of which is used to track if P_PROTECT should be inherited by new child processes.
