setting ftick = ltick = ticks in schedinit().
- Update the priority when we are pulled off of the run queue and when we
are inserted onto the run queue so that it more accurately reflects our
present status. This is important for efficient priority propagation
functioning.
- Move the frequency test into sched_pctcpu_update() so we don't repeat it
each time we'd like to call it.
- Put some temporary work-around code in sched_priority() in case the tick
mechanism produces a bad priority. Eventually this should revert to an
assert again.
a spin mutex since it doesn't have an INTR_FAST interrupt handler.
Beyond that the driver is still under Giant anyway.
- Remove unneeded locking during attach across operations that can't be
called with locks held (such as bus_dma_tag_create()).

returning the length skipped in a ssize_t to using off_t for both. This
does not break any A[BP]Is, since compression_skip is entirely internal
to libarchive.
If a skip request is > SSIZE_MAX, don't pass it down to the client layer
skip function, since those still uses size_t / ssize_t. Instead, just
read the data and throw it away.
With this commit, libarchive/bsdtar should now successfully skip archive
entries of >2GB on 32-bit systems, but does so slower than necessary.
The performance will improve with a future A[BP]I breaking commit which
makes client layer skip functions use off_t.

the most recently chosen index. This significantly improves nice
behavior. This allows a lower priority thread to run some multiple of
times before the higher priority thread makes it to the front of
the queue. A nice +20 cpu hog now only gets ~5% of the cpu when running
with a nice 0 cpu hog and about 1.5% with a nice -20 hog. A nice
difference of 1 makes a 4% difference in cpu usage between two hogs.
- Track a seperate insert and removal index. When the removal index is
empty it is updated to point at the current insert index.
- Don't remove and re-add a thread to the runq when it is being adjusted
down in priority.
- Pull some conditional code out of sched_tick(). It's looking a bit
large now.
- Remove the double queue mechanism for timeshare threads. It was slow
due to excess cache lines in play, caused suboptimal scheduling behavior
with niced and other non-interactive processes, complicated priority
lending, etc.
- Use a circular queue with a floating starting index for timeshare threads.
Enforces fairness by moving the insertion point closer to threads with
worse priorities over time.
- Give interactive timeshare threads real-time user-space priorities and
place them on the realtime/ithd queue.
- Select non-interactive timeshare thread priorities based on their cpu
utilization over the last 10 seconds combined with the nice value. This
gives us more sane priorities and behavior in a loaded system as
compared to the old method of using the interactivity score. The
interactive score quickly hit a ceiling if threads were non-interactive
and penalized new hog threads.
- Use one slice size for all threads. The slice is not currently
dynamically set to adjust scheduling behavior of different threads.
- Add some new sysctls for scheduling parameters.
Bug fixes/Clean up:
- Fix zeroing of td_sched after initialization in sched_fork_thread() caused
by recent ksegrp removal.
- Fix KSE interactivity issues related to frequent forking and exiting of
kse threads. We simply disable the penalty for thread creation and exit
for kse threads.
- Cleanup the cpu estimator by using tickincr here as well. Keep ticks and
ltick/ftick in the same frequency. Previously ticks were stathz and
others were hz.
- Lots of new and updated comments.
- Many many others.
Tested on: up x86/amd64, 8way amd64.
- runq_add_pri allows the caller to position the thread at any rqindex
regardless of priority.
- runq_choose_from() chooses the lowest priority thread starting from a given
index. The index is updated with the rqindex of the chosen thread. This
routine is used to pick the lowest priority relative to a given index.
- runq_remove_idx() updates the index if the run queue that held the removed
thread is now empty.
of a socket() call with sockipprotoname() if the first parameter (domain)
is PF_INET or PF_INET6.
Old parsing behavior before this change:
ping6 CALL socket(PF_INET6,SOCK_RAW,0x3a)
New behavior after this change:
ping6 CALL socket(PF_INET6,SOCK_RAW,IPPROTO_ICMPV6)
of auto_or_type.
The old parsing code would incorrectly decode a socket() call in the
ping6 program as:
CALL socket(PF_PUP|PF_ECMA|PF_APPLETALK|PF_COIP|PF_SIP,SOCK_DGRAM,0)
The new parsing code decodes the same socket() call as:
CALL socket(PF_INET6,SOCK_DGRAM,0)
However, auto_if_type() uses if/else statements in C instead
of a single switch statement, when mapping an integer value to
a #define. For certain cases where multiple #define constants
alias to a single integer value, auto_if_type() makes things easier
to parse than auto_switch_type().
functions are required to skip the requested distance, so we can avoid
lots of bookkeeping which would otherwise be necessary.

to floating-point, the result is a quiet NaN. The current implementation
may return a signaling NaN, and the vendor has no plans for changing this,
for reasons explained in the comment I added.

is not easy to set the inclusion order so that there are no multiple
inclusions, yet you want to compile with high WARNS levels).
I am not sure if there is a standard for having a leading and/or trailing _
in the macro name, the usb code seems to use both.
There are still several unprotected headers here so it might be useful
to do the same thing on other files as well as the need arises.
