New Revision: 240813
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/240813

Log:
  Do not skip two elements of the tid_buffer when reusing the buffer
  slot. This eventually results in exhaustion of the tid space, causing
  new threads get tid -1 as identifier.
  
  The bad effect of having the thread id equal to -1 is that
  UMTX_OP_UMUTEX_WAIT returns EFAULT for a lock owned by such thread,
  because casuword cannot distinguish between literal value -1 read from
  the address and -1 returned as an indication of faulted
  access. _thr_umutex_lock() helper from libthr does not check for
  errors from _umtx_op_err(2), causing an infinite loop in
  mutex_lock_sleep().
  
  We observed the JVM processes hanging and consuming enormous amount of
  system time on machines with approximately 100 days uptime.
