The suspension helpers are now put into file system specific operations.
This means every file system not supporting these helpers cannot be suspended
and therefore snapshots are no longer possible.
Implemented for file systems of type ffs.
The new API is enabled on a kernel option NEWVNGATE. This option is
not enabled by default in any kernel config.
Presented and discussed on tech-kern with much input from
Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@netbsd.org> and YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@netbsd.org>.
Welcome to 4.99.9 (new vfs op vfs_suspendctl).
Add kern_exit_43.c to VARSTACK -- it isn't, really, but it causes an error
because it has a 0-element array on the stack and SSP always emits the
error that it is not protecting such a small array (ssp-buffer-size=0 is
not supported, so, really, it should not emit this error!).
- make fileassoc_t a pointer and remove FILEASSOC_INVAL.
- clean up kern_fileassoc.c. unify duplicated code.
- unexport fileassoc_init using RUN_ONCE(9).
- plug memory leaks in fileassoc_file_delete and fileassoc_table_delete.
- always call callbacks, regardless of the value of the associated data.
ok'ed by elad.
Notable changes:
* Fixes PR 34268.
* Separates the code from gif(4) (which is more cleaner).
* Allows the usage of STP (Spanning Tree Protocol).
* Removed EtherIP implementation from gif(4)/tap(4).
Some input from Christos.
XXX: We still install rmd160.h and sha2.h in /usr/include/crypto, unlike
the other hash functions which get installed in /usr/include for compatibility.
subsystems, based on work by YAMAMOTO Takashi. This is intended to
be used by other subsystems (such as the proc_*() or lwp_*() routines)
rather than directly by consumers.

not use it

remove pseudo-device btdev(4) and inherent limitations
add bthub(4) which autoconfigures at bluetooth controllers as they
are enabled. bluetooth devices now attach here.
btdevctl(8) and its cache is updated to handle new semantics
etc/rc.d/btdevctl is updated to configure devices from a list
in /etc/bluetooth/btdevctl.conf
- Add a few scopes to the kernel: system, network, and machdep.
- Add a few more actions/sub-actions (requests), and start using them as
opposed to the KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER place-holders.
- Introduce a basic set of listeners that implement our "traditional"
security model, called "bsd44". This is the default (and only) model we
have at the moment.
- Update all relevant documentation.
- Add some code and docs to help folks who want to actually use this stuff:
* There's a sample overlay model, sitting on-top of "bsd44", for
fast experimenting with tweaking just a subset of an existing model.
This is pretty cool because it's *really* straightforward to do stuff
you had to use ugly hacks for until now...
* And of course, documentation describing how to do the above for quick
reference, including code samples.
All of these changes were tested for regressions using a Python-based
testsuite that will be (I hope) available soon via pkgsrc. Information
about the tests, and how to write new ones, can be found on:
http://kauth.linbsd.org/kauthwiki
NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: *PLEASE* don't add any code that does any of the
following:
- Uses a KAUTH_GENERIC_ISSUSER kauth(9) request,
- Checks 'securelevel' directly,
- Checks a uid/gid directly.
(or if you feel you have to, contact me first)
This is still work in progress; It's far from being done, but now it'll
be a lot easier.

Many thanks to YAMAMOTO Takashi, Matt Thomas, and Christos Zoulas for help
stablizing kauth(9).
Full credit for the regression tests, making sure these changes didn't break
anything, goes to Matt Fleming and Jaime Fournier.
Happy birthday Randi! :)
is defined. if this option is present in the Makefile CFLAGS and we are
using GCC4, build kern_synch.c with -fno-reorder-blocks, so that this
actually works.
XXX be nice if KERN_SYNCH_BPENDTSLEEP_LABEL was a normal 'defflag' option
XXX but for now take the easy way out and make it checkable in CFLAGS.
The PIOBM is used by only one driver (will be added later,
stay tuned) and intruduce an attribute "ata_piobm" so that
it will be conditionally compiled in.
The "ata_dma" (busmastering transfer using ATA DMA mode) and
"ata_udma" (busmastering transfer using ATA Ultra DMA mode)
attributes are also added for consistency, but unused for now.
