Add AH_REGOPS_FUNC to a few opt_ah.h that don't have it in this version

Ultimately, this should make future imports even easier, and individual ports

the NFS support for each file system.
- Implement an interface for VFS (called VFS hooks) so that several kernel

At the moment, this only provides support for unmount and is used to
destroy NFS exports lists from the file systems being unmounted, though it
has room for extension.

The file-system is still *experimental*. Therefore, it is disabled by

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

This is enabled on a per-mount basis with the MNT_MAGICLINKS mount
flag. It can be enabled at mountroot() time by building the kernel
with the ROOTFS_MAGICLINKS option.
The following magic strings are supported by the implementation:
@machine value of MACHINE for the system
@machine_arch value of MACHINE_ARCH for the system
@hostname the system host name, as set with sethostname()
@domainname the system domain name, as set with setdomainname()
@kernel_ident the kernel config file name
@osrelease the releaes number of the OS
@ostype the name of the OS (always "NetBSD" for NetBSD)
Example usage:

Support for a.out coredumps is now conditional on EXEC_AOUT, EXEC_COFF,
EXEC_ECOFF, or EXEC_MACHO, or LKM. Since coredump_netbsd is the only user

so the EXEC_AOUT option in std.i386 can be overridden.

audio framework
Summary of changes:
* struct audio_params
- remove sw_code, factor, factor_denom, hw_sample_rate,
hw_encoding ,hw_precision, and hw_channels. Conversion information
is conveyed by stream_filter_list_t.
- change the type of sample_rate: u_long -> u_int
- add `validbits,' which represents the valid data size in
precision bits. It is required in order to distinguish 24/32bit
from 24/24bit or 32/32bit.
* audio_hw_if
- add two parameters to set_params()
stream_filter_list_t *pfil, stream_filter_list *rfil
A HW driver should set filter recipes for requested formats
- constify audio_params parameters of trigger_output() and
trigger_input(). They represent audio formats for the hardware.
- make open() and close() optional
- add int (AUMODE_PLAY or AUMODE_RECORD) and audio_params_t parameters
to round_blocksize()
* sw_code is replaced with stream_filter_t.
stream_filer_t converts audio data in an input buffer and writes
into another output buffer unlike sw_code, which converts data in
single buffer.
converters in dev/auconv.c, dev/mulaw.c, dev/aurateconv.c,
dev/tc/bba.c, dev/ic/msm6258.c, and arch/arm/iomd/vidcaudio.c are
reimplemented as stream_filter_t
* MI audio
- audiosetinfo() builds filter pipelines from stream_filter_list_t
filled by audio_hw_if::set_params()
- audiosetinfo() returns with EINVAL if mmapped and set_params()
requests filters
- audio_write(), audio_pint(), and audio_rint() invoke a filter
pipeline.
- ioctl() for FIONREAD, AUDIO_WSEEK, AUDIO_GETIOFFS,
AUDIO_GETOOFFS, and audio_prinfo::{seek,samples} for
AUDIO_GETINFO handle values for a buffer nearest to userland.
* add `struct device *' parameter to ac97_attach()
* all of audio HW drivers follow audio_hw_if and ac97 changes
NAME
tap - virtual Ethernet device
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device tap
DESCRIPTION
The tap driver allows the creation and use of virtual Ethernet devices.
Those interfaces appear just as any real Ethernet NIC to the kernel, but
can also be accessed by userland through a character device node in order
to read frames being sent by the system or to inject frames.
In that respect it is very similar to what tun(4) provides, but the added
Ethernet layer allows easy integration with machine emulators or virtual
Ethernet networks through the use of bridge(4) with tunneling.
``Qui tacet consentire videtur.''
disklabels nested inside an MBR "NetBSD" or "386BSD" partition (first
one found is considered authoritative for the disk), or in one of several
known locations for various NetBSD platforms. It can read native or other-
endian disklabels (code is there, but not tested).
If you want to play with this, exercise caution; you can't currently

infrastructure that allows new ones to be added. The discovery methods
are prioritized, and only one can exist at a given priority.
The DKWEDGE_METHOD_GPT option causes GPT support to be included. GPT is
at priority 0; we prefer GPT above all others.
calls to ensure that the vnode lock state is as expected when the VOP
call is made. Modify vnode_if.src to set the expected state according
to the documenting lock table for each VOP. Modify vnode_if.sh to emit
the checks.
Notes:
- The checks are only performed if the vnode has the VLOCKSWORK bit
set. Some file systems (e.g. specfs) don't even bother with vnode
locks, so of course the checks will fail.
- We can't actually run with VNODE_LOCKDEBUG because there are so many
vnode locking problems, not the least of which is the "use SHARED for
VOP_READ()" issue, which screws things up for the entire call chain.
Inspired by similar changes in OpenBSD, but implemented differently.

to only call pckbc_machdep_cnattach() if this is present. This allows
pckbc_machdep_cnattach() to be omitted entirely on most ports, where it only
returns ENXIO anyway.

pckbc on sparc, where pckbc_machdep_cnattach() mysteriously returns 0 rather

kern_uuid.c that are meant to be used by (currently nonexistent) other
things in the kernel. Added syscall to COMPAT_FREEBSD as well, though
that's currently not useful, as any program new enough to use this call
also uses other syscalls we don't (yet) emulate.

The attribute is named `opencrypto'. The pseudo-device is renamed to
"crypto", which has a dependency on "opencrypto". The sys/conf/majors
entry and pseudo-device attach entrypoint are updated to match the
new pseudo-device name.
Fast IPsec (sys/netipsec/files.ipsec) now lists a dependency on the
"opencrypto" attribute. Drivers for crypto accelerators (ubsec,
hifn775x) also pull in opencrypto, as providers of opencrypto transforms.
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.
Uses a hook in spec_strategy() to save data written from a mounted
file system to its block device and a hook in dounmount().
Not enabled by default in any kernel config.

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.
Gcc-3.3 produces valid warnings in most cases and uncovers bugs. In the

This adds a device (atabus) between IDE controllers and wd or atapibus, to
have each ATA channel show up in the device tree. Later there will be atabus
devices in /dev, so that we can do IOCTL on them.
Each atabus has its own kernel thread, to handle operations that needs polling,
e.g. reset and others.
Device probing on each bus it defered to the atabus thread creation.
This allows to do the reset and basic device probes in parallel, which reduce
boot time on systems with several pciide controllers.
