- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise

- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
- don't use managed mappings/backing objects for wired memory allocations.
save some resources like pv_entry. also fix (most of) PR/27030.
- simplify kernel memory management API.
- simplify pmap bootstrap of some ports.
- some related cleanups.
0. Fix it by returning the peer's block size.
XXX: This is the minimal fix. Probably the buffer size should be initialized
somewhere else, but probably this would need some more code changes.
1. make fileops const
2. add 2 new negative errno's to `officially' support the cloning hack:
- EDUPFD (used to overload ENODEV)
- EMOVEFD (used to overload ENXIO)
3. Created an fdclone() function to encapsulate the operations needed for
EMOVEFD, and made all cloners use it.
4. Centralize the local noop/badop fileops functions to:
fnullop_fcntl, fnullop_poll, fnullop_kqfilter, fbadop_stat
do { ... } while(/*CONSTCOND*/0)
so that they can be used unadorned in if/else blocks, etc. This means
that you now *have* to put a ; at the end of the "call" to these
macros.
the number of bytes in the send queue, and FIONSPACE reports the
number of free bytes in the send queue. These ioctls permit applications
to monitor file descriptor transmission dynamics.
In examining prior art, FIONWRITE exists with the semantics given
here. FIONSPACE is provided so that programs may easily determine how
much space is left in the send queue; they do not need to know the
send queue size.
The fact that a write may block even if there is enough space in the
send queue for it is noted in the documentation.
FIONWRITE functionality may be used to implement TIOCOUTQ for Linux
emulation - Linux extended this ioctl to sockets, even though they are
not ttys.
to pool_init. Untouched pools are ones that either in arch-specific
code, or aren't initialiased during initial system startup.
Convert struct session, ucred and lockf to pools.
would be good) mostly copied from sysctl(3). This takes care of the
top-level, most of kern.* and hw.* (modulo the ath and bge stuff), and
all of proc.*.
If you don't want the added rodata in your kernel, use "options
SYSCTL_NO_DESCR" in your kernel config.
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
* introduce fsetown(), fgetown(), fownsignal() - this sets/retrieves/signals
the owner of descriptor, according to appropriate sematics
of TIOCSPGRP/FIOSETOWN/SIOCSPGRP/TIOCGPGRP/FIOGETOWN/SIOCGPGRP ioctl; use
these routines instead of custom code where appropriate
* make every place handling TIOCSPGRP/TIOCGPGRP handle also FIOSETOWN/FIOGETOWN
properly, and remove the translation of FIO[SG]OWN to TIOC[SG]PGRP
in sys_ioctl() & sys_fcntl()
* also remove the socket-specific hack in sys_ioctl()/sys_fcntl() and
pass the ioctls down to soo_ioctl() as any other ioctl

be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
Avoids a lot of casting and removes the need for some line breaks.
Removed a load of (caddr_t) casts from calls to copyin/copyout as well.
(approved by christos - he has a plan to remove caddr_t...)
Treat +ve numbers as process group ids and -ve as pids (see tcsetpgrp() in part of current session.
Treat +ve numbers as process group ids and -ve as pids - see tcsetpgrp(3).

conditions at points where it's necessary to access both the up-stream
and down-stream parts of the bi-directional pipe data structure. These
are marked `XXXSMP' in the code.
Also, since the changes are pretty invasive, there little point in keeping
all the "#ifdef FreeBSD" code around; so all of that has been stripped out.
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,

malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
