in the mbuf header.
* Use the new cached paddr feature of the pool_cache API to record
the physical address of mbuf clusters. (We cannot use a ctor for
clusters, since clusters have no constructed form; they are merely
buffers).
Bus_dma back-ends may use the cached physical addresses to save having to
extract the physical address from virtual.
* Provide space in m_ext recording the vm_page *'s for an SOSEND_LOAN_CHUNK-
sized non-cluster external buffer. Use this in the sosend_loan code to
save having to extract the physical address from virtual and then look
up the vm_page *'s.
* Provide an indication that an external buffer is mapped read-only at
the MMU. Set this flag for the external buffer in the sosend_loan
case, since loaned pages are always mapped read-only. Bus_dma back-ends
may use this information to save cache flushing, since a cache flush of
a read-only mapping is redundant on some architectures (the cache would
have already been flushed when making the mapping read-only).

objects. Clients of the pool_cache API must consistently use
the "paddr" variants or not, otherwise behavior is undefined.
Enable this on Alpha, ARM, MIPS, and x86. Other platforms must
define POOL_VTOPHYS() in the appropriate manner in order to enable
the feature.

checking against nprocs is wrong in any case btw - we do allow
maxproc higher than number of current processes, it would just mean
no new process could be started until number of processes would
be lower than the new limit
Avoids a lot of casting and removes the need for some line breaks.
Removed a load of (caddr_t) casts from calls to copyin/copyout as well.
(approved by christos - he has a plan to remove caddr_t...)
- #ifdef out a DIAGNOSTIC printf() that was too annoying (rule of thumb,
don't make DIAGNOSTIC printfs() that print *very* frequently...)
- fix DIAGNOSTIC test that would always get triggered on a new session.
lookup and allocation, and any dependency on NPROC or MAXUSERS.
NO_PID changed to -1 (and renamed NO_PGID) to remove artificial limit
on PID_MAX.
As discussed on tech-kern.
having some #ifdef UNION code in vfs_vnops.c, introduce variable
'vn_union_readdir_hook' which is set to address of appropriate
vn_readdir() hook by union filesystem when it's loaded & mounted
Treat +ve numbers as process group ids and -ve as pids (see tcsetpgrp() in part of current session.
Treat +ve numbers as process group ids and -ve as pids - see tcsetpgrp(3).

syscall sys_timer_settime()) to take an absolute value for realtime
timers. This avoids a pair of gratiuitous conversions with the
possibility that the timer's intermediate value would be 0.0, which
would signal timer_settime() to cancel the timer.
Adjust callers of timer_settime() to compensate; catch the case where
sys_timer_settime() with an absolute time value of now and a virtual
timer would also be subtracted down to a timer-cancelling 0.0.
This should fix the bug seen in libpthread's nanosleep() where certain
applications, such as xmms, would wedge with unexpired userlevel
alarms.
people would read that list in a more timely fashion!), change the new
64-bit memory reporting sysctl nodes to report bytes. This should not
be a problem, since it's only a week old, and no applications use the
new nodes yet.
be returning because the code path that calls is will very likely call
setrunnable() again on the returned thread, leading to a panic because
the thread returned is already at LSRUN. This fixes a problem where netbsd
would panic when using gdb (5.3) on a process with multiple lwp's like this:
% gdb program
(gdb) run
^C
(gdb) quit
