kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)

This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.

If it's set when process is exiting, all running processes have their

change to use 'struct proc *' pointer directly, rather than pid_t.

other code has this limit. Also while I am here, convert the magic 16 into

fix, since all this read-ahead business is XXXUBC anyway.
- remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is
required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range.
pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's
no longer any need to special-case it.
- eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode.
- rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the
high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work
has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS,
which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do.
writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which
allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc.
- use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed
on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar
to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the
pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked.
this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page,
and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16,
struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller.
- no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy
because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be
reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we
don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to
know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy
swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves.
- implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid
zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage.
- encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node,
which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data
for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages().
- eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore
now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation.
- enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages
instead of a modified copy.
- clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by
the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC).
- remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless.
instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate
pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they
are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it.
this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places.
The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my
decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5
and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5
source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.

between creation of a file descriptor and close(2) when using kernel
assisted threads. What we do is stick descriptors in the table, but
mark them as "larval". This causes essentially everything to treat
it as a non-existent descriptor, except for fdalloc(), which sees a
filled slot so that it won't (incorrectly) allocate it again. When
a descriptor is fully constructed, the code that has constructed it
marks it as "mature" (which actually clears the "larval" flag), and
things continue to work as normal.
While here, gather all the code that gets a descriptor from the table
into a fd_getfile() function, and call it, rather than having the
same (sometimes incorrect) code copied all over the place.

for async i/o requests, it used to be possible for the request to
be convert to sync, and the pager would return VM_PAGER_OK or VM_PAGER_PEND
to indicate whether the caller should perform post-i/o cleanup.
this is no longer allowed; pagers must now return 0 to indicate that
the async i/o was successfully started, and the caller never needs to
worry about doing the post-i/o cleanup.

which we disallow creation of page cache pages) and its on-disk EOF
(which marks the offset at which there is not (yet) data on disk that
we need to read when creating pages). for requests with PGO_PASTEOF,
the in-memory EOF maybe be much larger than the on-disk EOF.
- in genfs_getpages(), unbusy any pages that we don't free in the error path.
- in genfs_putpages(), if we get a bmap error, record that in the master buf.
- in the cases where we skip over the i/o loop, increment npages by ridx
so that when the cleanup code starts processing the pgs array at index 0
it'll actually process all of the pages.
- process the PG_RELEASED flag when unbusying pages.
- add some missing MP locking.
- use MIN() and MAX() instead of min() and max() since the latter are
functions which take arguments of type "int" but we call them with
values of type "off_t", so the values could be truncated.
- in the PGO_PASTEOF case, use the larger of the current file size and the
end of the requested range of pages as the file size for this request.
this fixes some problems with sparsing writes to large offsets.
- in genfs_getpages() don't start read-ahead if we get an error on the

with procfs's cmdline - from the PR:
The cmdline implementation in procfs is bogus. It's possible that
part of the fix is a workaround of a UVM problem - that is, when
(internally) accessing the top of the process VM (the end of the
args) a request for I/0 of a PAGE_SIZE'd block starting at less
than a PAGE_SIZE from the end of the mem space returns EINVAL
rather than the data that is available. Whether this is a bug
in UVM or not depends upon how it is defined to work, and I was
unable to determine that. (Simon Burge found that problem, and
provided the basis of the workaround/fix).
Then, the cmdline function is unable to read more than one
page of args, and a good thing too, as the way it is written
attempting to get more than that would reference into lala land.
And, on an attempt to read a lot of data when the above is
fixed, most of the data won't be returned, only the final block
of any read.
Tested on alpha, pmax, i386 and sparc.
a set of flags ("flags"). Two flags are defined, UPDATE_WAIT and
UPDATE_DIROP.
Under the old semantics, VOP_UPDATE would block if waitfor were set,
under the assumption that directory operations should be done
synchronously. At least LFS and FFS+softdep do not make this
assumption; FFS+softdep got around the problem by enclosing all relevant
calls to VOP_UPDATE in a "if(!DOINGSOFTDEP(vp))", while LFS simply
ignored waitfor, one of the reasons why NFS-serving an LFS filesystem
did not work properly.
Under the new semantics, the UPDATE_DIROP flag is a hint to the
fs-specific update routine that the call comes from a dirop routine, and
should be wait for, or not, accordingly.
Closes PR#8996.

Problem turned out to be due to improper handling of reads beyond EOF:
they should just return without error with the uio unchanged, and the
caller will recognize this as a zero-byte return (EOF).
The previous fix to protect directory reads against bogus uio_offset
values returned EINVAL, which broke mount -o union, which only
union'ed in the lower directory if the upper directory cleanly
returned EOF.
While we're here, protect kernfs as well.
