XXX: todo -- make chflags(1) use lchflags(2) when given the right options.

types. While I was here, I did a namespace sweep to expose the constants
and strucutures, and structure members described by SUSv2; documentation
updates coming shortly.
Fixes kern/8158.
Add kernel implementation of getcwd() which uses this cache, falling
back to reading the filesystem on a cache miss.
Along for the ride: add new VOP_FSYNC flag FSYNC_RECLAIM indicating
that a reclaim is being done, so only a "shallow" fsync is needed.
arguments passed to accept(), bind(), connect(), getpeername(), getsockname(),
getsockopt(), recvfrom(), sendto() and sendmsg() unsigned, which also elimiates
a few casts.
* Reflect the (now) signedness of msg_iovlen, which necessiates the addition
of a few casts.
* Increase the size of sigset_t to accomodate 128 signals -- adding new
versions of sys_setprocmask(), sys_sigaction(), sys_sigpending() and
sys_sigsuspend() to handle the changed arguments.
* Abstract the guts of sys_sigaltstack(), sys_setprocmask(), sys_sigaction(),
sys_sigpending() and sys_sigsuspend() into separate functions, and call them
from all the emulations rather than hard-coding everything. (Avoids uses
the stackgap crap for these system calls.)
* Add a new flag (p_checksig) to indicate that a process may have signals
pending and userret() needs to do the full (slow) check.
* Eliminate SAS_ALTSTACK; it's exactly the inverse of SS_DISABLE.
* Correct emulation bugs with restoring SS_ONSTACK.
* Make the signal mask in the sigcontext always use the emulated mask format.
* Store signals internally in sigaction structures, rather than maintaining a
bunch of little sigsets for each SA_* bit.
* Keep track of where we put the signal trampoline, rather than figuring it out
in *_sendsig().
* Issue a warning when a non-emulated sigaction bit is observed.
* Add missing emulated signals, and a native SIGPWR (currently not used).
* Implement the `not reset when caught' semantics for relevant signals.
Note: Only code touched by the i386 port has been modified. Other ports and
emulations need to be updated.
- pread() (#173) and pwrite() (#174), which are defined by XPG4.2. System
call numbers match Solaris.
- preadv() (#289) and pwritev() (#290), which are the positional cousins
of readv() and writev(), but not defined by any standard.
readlink() from type `int' to type `size_t'. This isn't an ABI change, since
the calling convention of our only LP64 platform (the Alpha) already promotes
this argument to a `long'.
This may not be the final action on this matter; readlink() still returns
an `int', which may change in a future revision of the standard.

and swapctl(). For the former three, they use an 'int' in their user-land
prototype which was a 'u_int' in the kernel, which screwed up automatic
generation/checking of lint syscall stubs. For the latter, the user-land
prototype uses a "const char *", but the syscall just used "char *".

to the stat(2) family and msync(2). This uses a primitive function
versioning scheme.
This reverts the libc shared library major version from 13 to 12, and
adds a few new interfaces to bring us to libc version 12.20.

* change in-kernel syscall prototypes to match user-land prototypes in
the following ways:
+ add 'const' where appropriate.
+ make the following "safe" type changes where appropriate:
caddr_t -> struct msghdr *
caddr_t -> struct sockaddr *
caddr_t -> void *
char * -> void *
int -> uid_t (safe because uid_t not used as index/count)
int -> gid_t (safe because gid_t not used as index/count)
u_int -> size_t
+ change "int" to "u_long" in flags arguments to chflags() and
fchflags(). This is safe because the arguments are used as
flag bits and there's nothing that would cause the top bit
of the int to be set yet, and because the user-land definitions
already specified u_long, so a u_long's worth of argument was
already being passed in.
wrong for a bunch of functions:
void: sys_exit, sys_sync
ssize_t: sys_read, sys_write, sys_recvmsg, sys_sendmsg,
sys_recvfrom, sys_readv, sys_writev, sys_sendto
long: sys_pathconf, sys_fpathconf
void *: sys_shmat
* Note that sys_open, sys_ioctl, and sys_fcntl are defined such that their
last argument is optional.
These changes should not have any real effect, because right now this
information is not actually used for anything.

It had implications that didn't occur to me at the time. *sigh*
- The functions that implement them and the argument names are
prepended with "sys_".
- Optional systems calls are "UNIMPL" if the support is not being
compiled into the kernel.
a boot string for firmware that can do this, such as the SPARC and
the sun3 models. It is currently silently ignored on all other
hardware now, however. The MD function "boot()" has been changed to
also take a char *.
and the "kernel.tar.Z" distribution on louie.udel.edu, which is older than
xntp 3.4y or 3.5a, but contains newer kernel source fragments.
This commit adds support for a new kernel configuration option, NTP.
If NTP is selected, then the system clock should be run at "HZ", which
must be defined at compile time to be one value from:
60, 64, 100, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
Powers of 2 are ideal; 60 and 100 are supported but are marginally less
accurate.
If NTP is not configured, there should be no change in behavior relative
to pre-NTP kernels.
These changes have been tested extensively with xntpd 3.4y on a decstation;
almost identical kernel mods work on an i386. No pulse-per-second (PPS)
line discipline support is included, due to unavailability of hardware
to test it.
With this in-kernel PLL support for NetBSD, both xntp 3.4y and xntp
3.5a user-level code need minor changes. xntp's prototype for
syscall() is correct for FreeBSD, but not for NetBSD.
no practical consequence on 32-bit systems. old prototype was
int profil(char *, int, int, int), and new one is int profile(char *,
size_t, u_long, u_int). the size_t is the size of the buffer,
and the u_long is the 'starting offset'. (I changed the last int
to u_int, because it's treated as a u_int everywhere, and isn't
logically a signed value.)
