the kernel's pmap, since proc0 (and other that share its address space)
are kernel-only processes, and should never contain userspace mappings.
This makes it easier to detect errors, like entering user mappings
for kernel processes, in pmap modules, and makes some sense, considering
that kernel processes are really just "thread contexts" for the kernel.
(thus causing s_leader to become NULL) by storing the session ID separately
in the session structure. Export the session ID to userspace in the
eproc structure.

UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the rest of the MI portion changes.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
called "MACHINE_NEW_NONCONGIG". this is required for UVM, the new VM
system (also written by chuck) that is coming soon. adds new functions:
vm_page_physload() -- tell the VM system about an area of memory.
vm_physseg_find() -- returns index in vm_physmem array that this
address is in.
and several new versions of old functions/macros defined in vm_page.h.
this is the MI portion. sparc, and then later i386 portions to come.
all other ports need to change to this ASAP! (alpha is already being
worked on)
pseudo-device rnd # /dev/random and in-kernel generator
in config files.
o Add declaration to all architectures.
o Clean up copyright message in rnd.c, rnd.h, and rndpool.c to include
that this code is derived in part from Ted Tyso's linux code.
__VM_PMAP_HACK is defined (for temporary compatibility).
The __VM_PMAP_HACK code should be removed after all the
ports that define it have removed all vm_pmap references.
* prototype it before it is used (several ports compile with
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes), so this is _necessary_.
* conform to C syntax (yes, that's right, it wouldn't parse).
* make error check less error-prone, + style fixups.
- Run mountroot hooks before we attempt to mount the root device, and
destroy mountroot hooks after the root file system has been sucessfully
mounted.
- Don't panic if we can't mount root. Instead, set RB_ASKNAME and
call setroot(), which will prompt the operator for the root device
and file system type.
the client and server/shared data initialization into separate functions,
and calling the server/shared initialization directly from main().
Problem noted in PR #1308 (Kenneth Stailey) and PR #1780 (Chris Demetriou).
Fix suggested in PR #1780 by Chris Demetriou, and munged a bit by me,
and OK'd by Frank van der Linden <fvdl@netbsd.org>.
- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
