this means we can no longer look at the vnode size to determine how many
pages to request in a fault, which is good since for NFS the size can change
out from under us on the server anyway. there's also a new flag UBC_UNMAP
for ubc_release(), so that the file system code can make the decision about
whether to cache mappings for files being used as executables.
- Reorganize console initialization code like i386 rather than cninit().
Note old pccons/opms and ofcons support still works.
XXX Xserver is not tested because XF86_4 doesn't have support
XXX for IGS CyberPro2010 on shark. (yet?)
"tradlittlemips" and "tradbigmips" vectors.
The old vectors are meant for IRIX with it prelink shared library
support, and changes to better support this in binutils 2.15 broke
shared library support under NetBSD. The "trad" vectors are what 32bit
Linux and OpenBSD also use.
These vectors are also compatible with older NetBSD-built shared
libraries and programs so no flag day is necessary (Yay!).
These changes from Nick Hudson. Help also from Charles Hannum.
foo_mountfs() to foo_mount(), to match the new mountroot API.
Also, for ext2fs and lfs, copy some restructuring from ffs to allow changing
file system parameters without specifying the device name.
(ntfs could use some more work.)
and just passes it on to the file system functions. This avoids opening and
closing the device several times.
Mentioned on tech-kern some time ago, IIRC. I've been running this for a
long time.
After exiting the try-again loop, make one more test of the lock
conditions, in case it was released while a signal handler kept the
thread busy past the alarm expiration.
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.
