was developed as part of Google's Summer of Code 2005 program. This
change adds the kernel code, the mount_tmpfs utility, a regression test
suite and does all other related changes to integrate these.
The file-system is still *experimental*. Therefore, it is disabled by
default in all kernels. However, as typically done, a commented-out
entry is added in them to ease its setup.
Note that I haven't commited the required mountd(8) changes to be able
to export tmpfs file-systems because NFS support is still very unstable
and because, before enabling it, I'd like to do some other changes.
OK'ed by my project mentor, William Studenmund (wrstuden@).
#define clockframe somethingelse
to:
struct clockframe {
struct somethingelse cf_se;
};
and change access macros accordingly.
That means that, at least for that very issue, things will not go
ka-boomy if you don't have the actual definition of struct clockframe
before including systm.h.
and install ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-disklabel,
${TOOLDIR}/bin/${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM}-fdisk by "reaching over" to
the sources in ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/sbin/{disklabel fdisk}/.
To avoid clashes with a build-host's header files, especially on
*BSD, the host-tools versions of fdisk and disklabel search for
#includes such as disklabel.h, disklabel_acorn.h, disklabel_gpt.h,
and bootinfo.h in a new #includes namespace, nbinclude/. That is,
they #include <nbinclude/sys/disklabel.h>, <nbinclude/machine/disklabel.h>,
<nbinclude/sparc64/disklabel.h>, instead of <sys/disklabel.h> and
such. I have also updated the system headers to #include from
nbinclude/-space when HAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H is #defined.

- Add (also commented out) options BUFQ_PRIOCSCAN.
Suggested by perry and soda on tech-kern.
Please refer options(4) for details for these options.
-Wcast-qual differently, by instead changing the signatore of those
"functions" to take a "volatile struct timeval*" instead of a
"struct timeval*". Many places, these functions are called with
&time, and time is declared as volatile in <sys/kernel.h>. This
way we can get rid of all the ugly casts which now also triggered
warnings, and caused more code to be added to work around the
problem.

This has the benefit of allowing the copyright to be available
via dmesg(8) on platforms which need the `msgbuf' to be setup
in cpu_startup() before printed output is remembered.

process context ('reaper').
From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.
MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.
g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
