New Revision: 277970
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/277970

Log:
  The dependency chain for priority-inheritance mutexes could be
  subverted by userspace into cycle.  Both umtx_propagate_priority() and
  umtx_repropagate_priority() would then loop infinitely, owning the
  spinlock.
  
  Check for the cycle using standard Floyd' algorithm before doing the
  pass in the affected functions.  Add simple check for condition of
  tricking the thread into a wait for itself, which could be easily
  simulated by usermode without race.
