* Simultaneous playback and mixing of multiple streams
* Playback streams can be of different encoding, frequency, precision
and number of channels
* Simultaneous recording to different formats
* One audio device per process
* Sysctls to set the common format frequency, precision and channels
* Independent mixer controls for recording/playback per stream
* Utilizes little cpu time for multiple streams / good performance
* Compatible with existing programs that use OSS/NetBSD audio
* Changes to audioctl(1) to allow specifying process id for corresponding
audio device
various sysctl/procfs interfaces that allow it to be interrogated.
(This is rather than the temporary parent's pid when a process is
being traced and has been reparented.)
XXX The ppid in elf32 core files has not been similarly adjusted,
XXX Should it be ?
1 - ptrace(2) syscall for native emulation
2 - common ptrace(2) syscall code (shared with compat_netbsd32)
3 - support routines that are shared with PROCFS and/or KTRACE
* Add module glue for #1 and #2. Both modules will be built-in to the
kernel if "options PTRACE" is included in the config file (this is
the default, defined in sys/conf/std).
* Mark the ptrace(2) syscall as modular in syscalls.master (generated
files will be committed shortly).
* Conditionalize all remaining portions of PTRACE code on a new kernel
option PTRACE_HOOKS.
XXX Instead of PROCFS depending on 'options PTRACE', we should probably
just add a procfs attribute to the sys/kern/sys_process.c file's
entry in files.kern, and add PROCFS to the "#if defineds" for
process_domem(). It's really confusing to have two different ways
of requiring this file.
modules).
This implementation requires changes to a base kernel in order to
update the set of "special" modules, kinda defeating the purpose of
having modules in the first place. The new method will use dummy
modules (with name tap and tun) which will depend on the real
modules with the if_ prefix.
Coming soon to a NetBSD near you.
while specfc wants to auto-load modules without the prefix. For modules
which can be loaded both ways (ie, if_tap and if_tun), provide a simple
conversion table for specfs so it can auto-load the if_ module.
This table should always be quite small, and the auto-load operation is
relatively infrequent, so the additional overhead of comparing names should
be tolerable.

for this is to create yet another version of disklabel that is 64 bit friendly.

The previous worked by luck, it took the first sizeof(void *) bytes
of struct vnode as key.

- move the syncer into kern/vfs_subr.c.
- change the syncer to process the mountlist and VFS_SYNC as appropriate.
- use an API for mount points similiar to the API for vnodes:
- vfs_syncer_add_to_worklist(struct mount *mp) to add
- vfs_syncer_remove_from_worklist(struct mount *mp) to remove a mount.

means that zero is returned, and the kernel keeps mounting (and it
probably ends up in a deadlock/memory corruption somewhere).
2) 'nentries' and 'gnentries' are int and user-controlled, and there's no
check to ensure they are greater than zero. Since they are used to
compute the size of two copyin's, a user can control the copied size
by giving a negative value (like 128-2^29), and thus overwrite kernel
memory.
Both triggerable from root only.
