process and "parent" process is more conducive to policy generation.
Previously, tracing of a given program worked something like this:
fork()
if (child)
execprogram()
else
dotracing()
That means that if you "systrace -a named", named would fork and
background itself, but you would never get your prompt back because
systrace didn't exit. Now it works like this:
fork()
if (interactive)
if (child)
execprogram()
else
dotracing()
else
if (parent)
execprogram()
else
fork()
if (parent)
exit(0)
setsid()
dotracing()
This makes it *much* easier to do automated policy generation for
tasks run from rc.d. Or, for that matter, makes it much easier to use
systrace with tasks run from rc.d.
Fix 2 bugs with MSG_WAITALL. The first is to not block forever if one is
trying to MSG_PEEK for more than the socket can hold. The second is that
before sleeping waiting for more data, upcall the protocol telling it you
have just received data so it can kick itself to re-fill the just drained
socket buffer.
* Keep pointers to the first and last mbufs of the last record in the
socket buffer.
* Use the sb_lastrecord pointer in the sbappend*() family of functions
to avoid traversing the packet chain to find the last record.
* Add a new sbappend_stream() function for stream protocols which
guarantee that there will never be more than one record in the
socket buffer. This function uses the sb_mbtail pointer to perform
the data insertion. Make TCP use sbappend_stream().
On a profiling run, this makes sbappend of a TCP transmission using
a 1M socket buffer go from 50% of the time to .02% of the time.
Thanks to Bill Sommerfeld and YAMAMOTO Takashi for their debugging
assistance!
Even though envp is not the POSIX way of crawling through the environment,
this will hopefully save someone from having to scratch their head
really hard with a crunched program using envp.

highlight this in the error message (as "[NOT FIXED]").
idea from discussion with itojun
- Do NOT run "cd /dev ; sh ./MAKEDEV all" with "fix makedev".
Just check/fix that /dev/MAKEDEV is up to date.
I don't think that the former behaviour was appropriate, especially as
part of a common "fix all" scenario.
compile directory is not under /usr/src/sys (i.e. when 'S' is not
'../../../..'). Pointed out by Robert Elz in PR 17384.
Thanks again to Andrew Brown for figuring out how to rip .depend apart.
