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.
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
Make some variables and functions static when not used outside of a module.
Make variables in headers extern.
Delete the unused db_find_watchpoint() function.
DDB_ONPANIC. Lets user ignore breaks but enter DDB on panic. Intended
for machines where debug on panic is useful, but DDB entry is not,
(public-access console, or terminal-servers which send spurious breaks)
Add new ddb hook, console_debugger(), which decides whether or not to
ignore console ddb requests. Console drivers should be updated to call
console_debugger(), not Debugger(), in response to serial-console
break or ddb keyboard sequence.
