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.
to have KFS or PFS differentiators. Further I have wrapped the enum in
procfs in "#ifdef _KERNEL" as it is done in kernfs.

and look for "Mismatched enums in include files" in the list.
* Remove the "lwp *" argument that was added to vget(). Turns out
that nothing actually used it!
* Remove the "lwp *" arguments that were added to VFS_ROOT(), VFS_VGET(),
and VFS_FHTOVP(); all they did was pass it to vget() (which, as noted
above, didn't use it).
* Remove all of the "lwp *" arguments to internal functions that were added
just to appease the above.
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
- Under chroot it displays only the visible filesystems with appropriate paths.
- The statfs f_mntonname gets adjusted to contain the real path from root.
- While was there, fixed a bug in ext2fs, locking problems with vfs_getfsstat(),
and factored out some of the vfsop statfs() code to copy_statfs_info(). This
fixes the problem where some filesystems forgot to set fsid.
- Made coda look more like a normal fs.
are vput()/vrele()d as necessary - some filesystems did use the wrong
one for some ops, and it's just safer to not take the chance

* do not set *vpp unless successful, otherwise we'd trigger
DIAGNOSTIC panic in lookup(9) on error return
* on error, make sure to free malloc'ed memory and ungetnewvnode() the
previously acquired vnode

gets reset properly when the old parent exits before the child. A flag
is set in old parent process when the child is reparented in ptrace(2).
If it's set when process is exiting, all running processes have their
'old parent process' pointer checked and reset if appropriate. Also
change to use 'struct proc *' pointer directly, rather than pid_t.
