"retro" computers, but NetBSD also runs a growing number of rare
and retro add-on cards. With this patch, NetBSD supports the IDEC
Supervision/16, a black&white image capture board for the 16-bit
ISA bus. Approximate date of manufacture: 1991. Total instances
known to be in use throughout the world: one.
Coming soon; isvctl(8), the utility program for capturing 8-bit,

them in the mi "files" file, and remove include statements from md files.
These shouldn't pull in additional kernel code when not in use, so it
shouldn't do any harm except a risk of namespace collisions which
should be easy to fix.
host controller implementations, start with two little functions
which fake up string descriptors (which were inconststent, language
table fetching didn't interoperate with other code in the tree)
Introduce a per-FS rename lock and new vfsops to manipulate it.
Get this lock while renaming. Also add another relookup() in do_sys_rename,
which is a hack to kludge around some of the worst deficiencies of
ufs_rename.

- All three functions are included in the kernel by default.
They call a backend function cpu_in_cksum after possibly
computing the checksum of the pseudo header.
- cpu_in_cksum is the core to implement the one-complement sum.
The default implementation is moderate fast on most platforms
and provides a 32bit accumulator with 16bit addends for L32 platforms
and a 64bit accumulator with 32bit addends for L64 platforms.
It handles edge cases like very large mbuf chains (could happen with
native IPv6 in the future) and provides a good base for new native
implementations.
- Modify i386 and amd64 assembly to use the new interface.
This disables the MD implementations on !x86 until the conversion is
done. For Alpha, the portable version is faster.
compiled with -g. For the initial set, netbsd on amd64 grows by around
80KB. This allows much easier use of GDB for post-mortem debugging as
it can understand the layout of data structures. The additional data can
be strip(1)ped off normally for size constraint environments.
for config_time.h and athhal_options.h.
Note: we still copy param.c because I'm told that we should still support
people editing that on a per-compile basis.
Add schedctl(8) - a program to control scheduling of processes and threads.
Notes:
- This is supported only by SCHED_M2;
- Migration of LWP mechanism will be revisited;

For PIE executables(*) randomization is enabled for:
1. The program itself
2. All shared libraries
3. The data segment
4. The stack
(*) To generate a PIE executable:
- compile everything with -fPIC
- link with -shared-libgcc -Wl,-pie
This feature is experimental, and might change. To use selectively add
options PAX_ASLR=0
in your kernel.
Currently we are using 12 bits for the stack, program, and data segment and
16 or 24 bits for mmap, depending on __LP64__.
