application wishes to request high precision time stamps be returned:
Alias Existing
CLOCK_REALTIME_PRECISE CLOCK_REALTIME
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE CLOCK_MONOTONIC
CLOCK_UPTIME_PRECISE CLOCK_UPTIME
Add experimental low-precision clockid_t names corresponding to these
clocks, but implemented using cached timestamps in kernel rather than
a full time counter query. This offers a minimum update rate of 1/HZ,
but in practice will often be more frequent due to the frequency of
time stamping in the kernel:
New clockid_t name Approximates existing clockid_t
CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST CLOCK_REALTIME
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST CLOCK_MONOTONIC
CLOCK_UPTIME_FAST CLOCK_UPTIME
Add one additional new clockid_t, CLOCK_SECOND, which returns the
current second without performing a full time counter query or cache
lookup overhead to make sure the cached timestamp is stable. This is
intended to support very low granularity consumers, such as time(3).
The names, visibility, and implementation of the above are subject
to change, and will not be MFC'd any time soon. The goal is to
expose lower quality time measurement to applications willing to
sacrifice accuracy in performance critical paths, such as when taking
time stamps for the purpose of rescheduling select() and poll()
timeouts. Future changes might include retrofitting the time counter
infrastructure to allow the "fast" time query mechanisms to use a
different time counter, rather than a cached time counter (i.e.,
TSC).
NOTE: With different underlying time mechanisms exposed, using
different time query mechanisms in the same application may result in
relative non-monoticity or the appearance of clock stalling for a
single clockid_t, as a cached time stamp queried after a precision
time stamp lookup may be "before" the time returned by the earlier
live time counter query.
This shouldn't happen as far as the self-id buffer is vaild but
some people have this problem.

- In ifc_name2unit(), disallow leading zeroes in a unit.
Exploit: ifconfig lo01 create
- In ifc_name2unit(), properly handle overflows. Otherwise,
either of two local panic()'s can occur, either because
no interface with such a name could be found after it was
successfully created, or because the code will bogusly
assume that it's a wildcard (unit < 0 due to overflow).
Exploit: ifconfig lo<overflowed_integer> create
- Previous revision made the following sequence trigger
a KASSERT() failure in queue(3):
Exploit: ifconfig lo0 destroy; ifconfig lo0 destroy
This is because IFC_IFLIST_REMOVE() is always called
before ifc->ifc_destroy() has been run, not accounting
for the fact that the latter can fail and leave the
interface operating (like is the case for "lo0").
So we ended up calling LIST_REMOVE() twice. We cannot
defer IFC_IFLIST_REMOVE() until after a call to
ifc->ifc_destroy() because the ifnet may have been
removed and its memory has been freed, so recover from
this by re-inserting the ifnet in the cloned interfaces
list if ifc->ifc_destroy() indicates a failure.
the geom creation to a seperate init function and ignore the tasting.
The config is now parsed only in the vinumdrive geom, which hopefully
fixes the problem, that the drive class tasted before the vinum class
had a chance, for good.
Also restore the behaviour that the module can be loaded at boot time
and on a running system.
directly. We need to copyin() the strings in the iovec before
we can strcmp() them. Also, when we want to send the errmsg back
to userspace, we need to copyout()/copystr() the string.
Add a small helper function vfs_getopt_pos() which takes in the
name of an option, and returns the array index of the name in the iovec,
or -1 if not found. This allows us to locate an option in
the iovec without actually manipulating the iovec members. directly via
strcmp().

- Add locked variants of start, init, and ifmedia_upd.
- Add a mutex to the softc and remove spl calls.
- Use callout(9) rather than timeout(9).
- Setup interrupt handler last in attach.
- Use M_ZERO rather than bzero.

- Improve panic message if we fail to read the PCI bus number from a bridge
device.
- Don't try to lookup a BIOS IRQ for a link unless the link is routed via
an ISA IRQ since BIOSen currently only route PCI link devices via ISA
IRQs.

checks under INVARIANTS only if _KERNEL is also defined.

Instead, re-evaluate _BIF only when we get a notify and use the cached
results. We also still evaluate _BIF once on boot. Also, optimize the
init loop a little by only querying for a particular info if it's not valid.
