rndsink(9):
- Simplify API.
- Simplify locking scheme.
- Add a man page.
- Avoid races in destruction.
- Avoid races in requesting entropy now and scheduling entropy later.
Periodic distribution of entropy to sinks reduces the need for the
last one, but this way we don't need to rely on periodic distribution
(e.g., in a future tickless NetBSD).
rndsinks_lock should probably eventually merge with the rndpool lock,
but we'll put that off for now.
cprng(9):
- Make struct cprng_strong opaque.
- Move rndpseudo.c parts that futz with cprng guts to subr_cprng.c.
- Fix kevent locking. (Is kevent locking documented anywhere?)
- Stub out rump cprng further until we can rumpify rndsink instead.
- Strip code to grovel through struct cprng_strong in fstat.
pps_ref_event() allows capturing PPS time stamps
that are not generated at precisely 1Hz (e. g.
by reading a precision clock via callout()).
This extension allows clock drivers to supply PPS
time-stamps and drive the kernel NTP PLL
without the overhead of interrupt-handling and
-processing.
in the RaspberryPI. The driver supports host mode and control, interrupt,
and bulk transfers only at this point.

Thanks to all who helped. Jared McNeill, Michael van Elst and other.
to the controller. This is compatible with the linux and FreeBSD
implementations.
Add the needed conversion for mfi ioctls in COMPAT_LINUX
Allocate a character major number, and create /dev/mfi0 by default
on amd64 and i386.
This allows (along with a hand-created /emul/linux/proc/devices file)
to run the MegaCLI linux binary provided by LSI.
Ported from OpenBSD
Known issues :
- contrary to OpenBSD one, only support pci at the moment, because I don't
have the necessary hardware to test PCMCIA / CARDUS Marvell Card
- not connected to pmf(9) (unable to test it)

PMP support in integrated to the atabus layer.
struct ata_channel's ch_drive[] is not dynamically allocated, and ch_ndrive
(renamed to ch_ndrives) closely reflects the size of the ch_drive[] array.
Add helper functions atabus_alloc_drives() and atabus_free_drives()
to manage ch_drive[]/ch_ndrives.
Add wdc_maxdrives to struct wdc_softc so that bus front-end can specify
how much drive they really support (master/slave or single).
ata_reset_drive() callback gains a uint32_t *sigp argument which,
when not NULL, will contain the signature of the device being reset.
While there, some cosmetic changes:
- added a drive_type enum to ata_drive_datas, and stop encoding the
probed drive type in drive_flags (we were out of drive flags anyway).
- rename DRIVE_ATAPIST to DRIVE_ATAPIDSCW to better reflect what this
really is
- remove ata_channel->ata_drives, it's redundant with the pointer in
ata_drive_datas
- factor out the interpretation of SATA signatures in sata_interpet_sig()
propagate these changes to the ATA HBA drivers, and add support for PMP
to ahcisata(4) and siisata(4).
Thanks to:
- Protocase (http://www.protocase.com/) which provided a system
with lots of controllers, SATA PMP and drive slots
- Conservation Genomics Laboratory, Department of Biology, New Mexico State
University for hosting the above system
- Brook Milligan, who set up remote access and has been very responsive
when SATA cable move was needed
is a global sysctl kern.maxlwp to control this, which is by default 2048.
The first lwp of each process or kernel threads are not counted against the
limit. To show the current resource usage per user, I added a new sysctl
that dumps the uidinfo structure fields.
