- Fix shmat return value on amd64: it uses no black magic with retval[0]
- Fix integer overflows in sysinfo
- Implement sysinfo, mmap2, sched_getparam, sched_getscheduler, mremap,
and madvise in COMPAT_LINUX32
- Fix improper types used in setgroups16/getgroups16
- Implement mmap2 for COMPAT_LINUX32
- Ifdef debug messages by DEBUG_LINUX
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
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@).
supported options can't get out of sync. This add support for the
linux __WCLONE and __WALL options (NetBSD version: WALTSIG and WALLSIG)
Add a diagnostic check to see if the one unhandled option (__WNOTHREAD) is
specified.
This should prevent linux processes from losing their children and creating
tons of zombie processes.
provide f_frsize. It cannot be actually used to GNU C statvfs() bug
in f_frsize != f_bsize case, so just keep pretending we don't support it.
Update comments and explain the situation in detail there.
- filesystem size is expressed in number of fragments, not blocks;
this fixes computed filesystem sizes for Linux df(1) and other Linux
binaries using statfs(2) for filesystems, which use different value
for frament and block, such as FFS
- use FS f_namemax instead of always using MAXNAMLEN
grow-down auto extend segment) by allocating segment sized at
current stack size limit, and offsetting requested/returned address
as required
due to how normal virtual memory management work, allocating the
full sized stack memory segment up-front actually requires exactly same
amount of VA space and physical memory as the Linux 'grow' scheme and the
'grow' scheme is quite a lot more difficult to use in applications correctly,
so it's not very apparent why Linux introduced this feature at all
this fixes Thomas Klausner's Heroes3 crash, and might also

this fixes linux Mozilla crashes with SuSE 9.1 libraries, and possibly
other linux applications using real threads
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
