- implement SIMPLEQ_REMOVE(head, elm, type, field). whilst it's O(n),
this mirrors the functionality of SLIST_REMOVE() (the other
singly-linked list type) and FreeBSD's STAILQ_REMOVE()
- remove the unnecessary elm arg from SIMPLEQ_REMOVE_HEAD().

- remove notes about SIMPLEQ not supporting arbitrary element removal
- use SIMPLEQ_FOREACH() instead of home-grown for loops
- use SIMPLEQ_EMPTY() appropriately
- use SIMPLEQ_*() instead of accessing sqh_first,sqh_last,sqe_next directly
- reorder manual page; be consistent about how the types are listed

enough to be useful, and broadening it so that it did would have meant
that operations possibly requiring synchronous disk activity would have
to be done in splbio(). This clearly was not going to work.
Worked around this in the LFS case by having lfs_cluster_callback put an
extra hold on the vnode before calling biodone(), and taking the hold
off without HOLDRELE's problematic list swapping. lfs_vunref() will take
care of that---in thread context---on the next write if need be.
Also, ensure that the list walking in lfs_{writevnodes,segunlock,gather}
takes into account the possibility that the list may change
underneath it (possibly because it itself deleted an element).
Tested on i386, test-compiled on alpha.
by default, and can be enabled by adding the SOSEND_LOAN option to your
kernel config. The SOSEND_COUNTERS option can be used to provide some
instrumentation.
Use of this option, combined with an application that does large enough
writes, gets us zero-copy on the TCP and UDP transmit path.
closed, open those fds to /dev/null.
XXX: This needs to be fixed in a better way. The kernel should not need to
know about /dev/null or special case 0, 1, 2.
This generates more useful information of a process who catches SIGINFO,
rather than always printing "runnable" (the process is marked runnable
because of the signal).
Inspired by the behavior of BSD/OS.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.

is a more general inferior I/D space I/O mechanism. FreeBSD and
OpenBSD have also added PT_IO.

back in rev. 1.51, bread() and breadn() were changed to assume that
if B_DONE is set on a buffer returned by bio_doread(), that the buffer
must have already been in the cache, and thus the overall bread() should
return success. but if the requested buffer is not in the cache and
is past the end of the device, bounds_check_with_label() will set B_ERROR
on the buffer and the caller will call biodone(), which will cause bread()
to think the buffer was already in the cache and thus return success.
to fix this, undo rev. 1.51 and instead have biowait() treat both B_DONE
and B_DELWRI as indicators that it doesn't need to sleep waiting for an
i/o to complete.
Changes:
* MP locking changes (mostly FreeBSD specific)
XXXSMP the MP locking macros are noops on NetBSD for now
* kevent fix (FreeBSD rev. 1.87): when the last reader/writer
disconnects, ensure that anybody who is waiting for the kevent
on the other end of the pipe gets EV_EOF
* kill __P
first. This is necessary to avoid warnings with -fshort-enums. Casting
to an int really should be enough, but turns out not to be.
This change will be documented in doc/HACKS.
m_reclaim() to match the drain hook signature. This allows us to
delete m_retry() and m_retryhdr(), as the pool allocator will now
perform the reclaimation step for us.

and the latter, while there was some code tested the bit, was woefully
incomplete and also unused by anything. Besides, PR_STATIC functionality
could be better handled by backend allocators anyhow.

pool_set_drain_hook(). This hook is called in three cases:
* When a pool has hit the hard limit, just before either erroring
out or sleeping.
* When a backend allocator fails to allocate memory.
* Just before trying to reclaim pages in pool_reclaim().
This hook requests the client to try and free some items back to
the pool.

deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

header to distinguish between o32, n32 and n64 ABIs. We now use this.
This suppress the need of the mips_option test, which had some fake positive.
This also removes the mandatory ordering of n32 vs o32 in the exec switch
(exec_conf.c)
since bounds_check_with_label() will truncate a buffer that crosses
the end of the partition. adjust the assertion to account for this.

rounded up to respect boundary limits, adjust newstart and last before
skiping to the next region. Otherwise we may check the same candidate
region against the start of the next region, no the one immediatly following
the hole, leading to corrupted map.
This fixes the panic seen on sparc64 with scsi drivers, and probably fixes
PR 15489.
easy, convenient dropping into DDB at the "root device: " prompt.
Useful if your console can't do it w/o actually taking an interrupt
and you want to, say, look at the boot messages.
as an added measure to make sure that we can execute a binary.
These default to (1) if elf_machdep.h does not override them.
On Sun2, ELF32_EHDR_FLAGS_OK() checks for the presense of EF_M68000,
since the 68010 cannot run binaries for the 68020-and-up.

current value would flush the cache :-/

successfully changed
ltsleep() is calling CURSIG() which can call issignal() and issignal()
could not deal with being called from a locked context. This happens
when a process receives SIGTTIN, and issignal() calls psignal() to
post SIGCHLD to the parent.
XXX: It is really messy to have issignal() handle the job control
functionality and the whole signal interlocking protocol needs to
be re-designed. For now this fix (provided by enami) does the trick.
I've been running with this fix for weeks, and atatat has stress-tested
the kernel running ~30 make kernels...
expecting pmap_kenter_pa() to be used to replace an existing mapping,
plus it just seems like a bad idea to keep around mappings of pages
that may be freed and reused.
uint32_t namei_hash(const char *p, const char **ep)
which determines the equivalent MI hash32_str() hash for p.
If *ep != NULL, calculate the hash to the character before ep.
If *ep == NULL, calculate the has to the first / or NUL found, and
point *ep to that location.
- Use namei_hash() to calculate cn_hash in lookup() and relookup().
Hash distribution goes from 35-40% to 55-70%, with similar profiled
time spent in cache_lookup() and cache_enter() on my P3-600.
- Use namei_hash() to calculate cn_hash in nfs_readdirplusrpc(),
insetad of homegrown code (that differed from that in lookup() !)
namei_hash() has better spread and is faster than previous code
(which used a non-constant multiplication).
in f_flag of struct file
for now, keep former f_iflags of struct file as _f_spare0, it will be g/c'ed
when struct file will be changed (this will happen soon)
VOP_PUTPAGES() just because the vnode has no pages. layered filesystems
will want to pass these calls on through to the underlying filesystem,
and non-layered filesystems may need to remove the vnode from the
syncer queues. fix up MP locking and add some locking assertions.

(__HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP) and procfs (__HAVE_PROCFS_MACHDEP).
These changes will allow platforms like x86 (XMM) and PowerPC
(AltiVec) to export extended register sets in a sane manner.
* Use __HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers (standard
FP + SSE/SSE2) using PT_{GET,SET}XMMREGS (in the machdep
ptrace request space).
* Use __HAVE_PROCFS_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers via
/proc/N/xmmregs in procfs.
case when the requested memory size can't ever be granted - instead
of panic, malloc(9) would return failure (NULL).
Note kernel code should do proper bound checking, rather than
depend on M_CANFAIL. This flag is only supposed to be used in very
special cases, where common bound checking is not appropriate.
Discussed on tech-kern@, name ``M_CANFAIL'' suggested by Chuck Cranor.
