churn creates interesting code.
Fixes open(O_CREAT|O_TRUNC) on at least tmpfs and nfs to not fail
with ENOENT due to a racy removal of the newly created file.
Caught, as most bugs these days are, by a test run.
- since the size is unsigned, don't check just that it is > 0, but limit
it to the MAXSSIZ
- if the stack size is reduced because of aslr, make sure we reduce the
actual allocation by the same size so that the size does not wrap around.
NB: Must be pulled up to 5.x!
kernconfig_mutex. Update module subsystem to use this mutex rather than
its own internal (non-recursive) mutex. Make module_autoload() do its
own locking to be consistent with the rest of the module_xxx() calls.
Update module(9) man page appropriately.

necessary for vget() to handle VI_INACTNOW as a special case. Remove this

Getting another reference while the freelist is locked is an error. Replace

pipe subsystems. Avoids overhead of second selscan() on wake-up, and thus
improves performance on certain workloads (especially when polling on many

- update the linux syscall table for each platform.
- support new-style (NPTL) linux pthreads on all platforms.
clone() with CLONE_THREAD uses 1 process with many LWPs
instead of separate processes.
- move the contents of sys__lwp_setprivate() into a new
lwp_setprivate() and use that everywhere.
- update linux_release[] and linux32_release[] to "2.6.18".
- adjust placement of emul fork/exec/exit hooks as needed
and adjust other emul code to match.
- convert all struct emul definitions to use named initializers.
- change the pid allocator to allow multiple pids to refer to the same proc.
- remove a few fields from struct proc that are no longer needed.
- disable the non-functional "vdso" code in linux32/amd64,
glibc works fine without it.
- fix a race in the futex code where we could miss a wakeup after
a requeue operation.
- redo futex locking to be a little more efficient.
in the vnode. All LK_* flags move from sys/lock.h to sys/vnode.h. Calls
to vlockmgr() in file systems get replaced with VOP_LOCK() or VOP_UNLOCK().
Welcome to 5.99.34.
Discussed on tech-kern.
Rename real routines to proc_find() and pgrp_find(), remove PFIND_* flags
and have consistent behaviour. Provide proc_find_raw() for special cases.
Fix memory leak in sysctl_proc_corename().
COMPAT_LINUX: rework ptrace() locking, minimise differences between
different versions per-arch.
Note: while this change adds some formal cosmetics for COMPAT_DARWIN and
COMPAT_IRIX - locking there is utterly broken (for ages).
Fixes PR/43176.
allocations.
2. Add a new member mod_flags to the 'struct module *' and define
MODFLG_MUST_FORCE. If this flag is set and the entry is on the list
of builtins, it means that the module has been explicitly unloaded
and any re-loads will require the MODCTL_LOAD_FORCE flag. Provide a
module_require_force() method to set this flag; once set, it should
never be unset.
3. Rename original module_init2() to module_start_unload_thread() to be
more descriptive of what it does.
4. Add a new module_builtin_require_force() routine that sets the
MODFLG_MUST_FORCE flag for any module that has not yet successfully
been initialized. Call it after module_init_class(MODULE_CLASS_ANY)
to disable remaining built-in modules.
This makes built-in versions of the xxxVERBOSE modules work once more,
resolving breakage reported by jruoho@ and njoly@.
Discussed on tech-kern, and comments and suggestions implemented. No
additional discussion for last week. Tested only on amd64 systems, but
there's nothing here that should be port- or architecture-specific (no
more specific than existing module implementation) so others should not
break.

This will be used for devices that require firmware loaded

initialization (getting MAC address etc).

- VOP_LOCK(vp, flags): Limit the set of allowed flags to LK_EXCLUSIVE,
LK_SHARED and LK_NOWAIT. LK_INTERLOCK is no longer allowed as it
makes no sense here.
- VOP_ISLOCKED(vp): Remove the for some time unused return value
LK_EXCLOTHER. Mark this operation as "diagnostic only".
Making a lock decision based on this operation is no longer allowed.

note that the userland can notice the i/o completion and reuse the aiocb
