- Do reference counting for 'struct mount'. Each vnode associated with a
mount takes a reference, and in turn the mount takes a reference to the
vfsops.
- Now that mounts are reference counted, replace the overcomplicated mount
locking inherited from 4.4BSD with a recursable rwlock.
int foo(struct lwp *l, void *v, register_t *retval)
to:
int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.
The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.
quick consensus on tech-kern
that use struct ifreq which have not been explicitly versioned.
If someone feels like fixing it with a list aproach, I think below is
a complete list - the one used in the previous version missed a lot of them.

values of the SS_ONSTACK and SS_DISABLE constants.
Use it to shorten the source files when this action is replicated.
Actually, given the monstrous complexity of sigaltstack1() there is
probably a much better way to do this...
once the 'address' has been copied into an mbuf.
Add extra flags for 'struct msghdr.msg_flags' to indicate that the address
and control are already in mbufs, and that the uio structure is in userspace
for sending data, rename sendit() to do_sys_sendmsg() to ensure no old code
passes in random flags.
Changes to compat code to use new functions - removing some stackgap use.
Fix a 'use after free' in compat_43_sys_recvmsg.
I ***THINK*** the code that converts 'cmsg' formatted data is borked!
svr4_stream.c ought to be generated from svr4_32_stream.c during the build.
compatibility with the older ioctls. This avoids stack smashing and
abuse of "struct sockaddr" when ioctls placed "struct sockaddr_foo's" that
were longer than "struct sockaddr".
XXX: Some of the emulations might be broken; I tried to add code for
them but I did not test them.
and 'rusage' without having to copy data to/from stackgap buffers.
The old split (find_stopped_child) could be removed.
amd64 seems to run netbsd32, linux and linux32 emulations. sparc64 compiles.
which can either be copied directly to userspace, or converted then copied.
Saves replicating a lot of code in the compat functions (esp. for
getvfsstat) at a cast of an extra function call in the non-emulated case -
which is unlikely to be measurable given the other costs of the actions
involved (even on vax).
Remove dofhstat() and dofhstatvfs() (and the last caller).
Remove some redundant stackgap_init() calls.
avoid having to allocate space in the 'stackgap'
- which is very LWP unfriendly.
The additional code for non-emulation namei() is trivial, the reduction for
the emulations is massive.
The vnode for a processes emulation root is saved in the cwdi structure
during process exec.
If the emulation root the TRYEMULROOT flag are set, namei() will do an initial
search for absolute pathnames in the emulation root, if that fails it will
retry from the normal root.
".." at the emulation root will always go to the real root, even in the middle
of paths and when expanding symlinks.
Absolute symlinks found using absolute paths in the emulation root will be
relative to the emulation root (so /usr/lib/xxx.so -> /lib/xxx.so links
inside the emulation root don't need changing).
If the root of the emulation would be returned (for an emulation lookup), then
the real root is returned instead (matching the behaviour of emul_lookup,
but being a cheap comparison here) so that programs that scan "../.."
looking for the root dircetory don't loop forever.
The target for symbolic links is no longer mangled (it used to get the
CHECK_ALT_xxx() treatment, so could get /emul/xxx prepended).
CHECK_ALT_xxx() are no more. Most of the change is deleting them, and adding
TRYEMULROOT to the flags to NDINIT().
A lot of the emulation system call stubs could now be deleted.
sys_stat() and friends, instead use do_sys_stat() and do_sys_fstat()
that write the answer into a kernel buffer (on stack) that can be
converted to the correct form and written the userspace.
I've test compiled a few kernels, and tested i386 netbsd1.6 ls.
Given I think I've fixed some bugs, it might be 50-50 with new ones.
