017aaf79e1 Since sendfile(2) works on regular files only, 
which have no negative offsets, "negative" and
"invalid" are equivalent WRT the offset argument.

85e8765b7e Clarify getfsstat(2) usage. 
The getfsstat(2) function expects a buffer and a count, and returns a count.

The confusing part is that the count it takes is a byte count, while the
return value is a count of the number of structures it has filled out.

Spell this out.

ccfddc1cce Clarify the behavior of ptrace(2) a little bit: the tracing process 
must first attach to the traced process.  If the tracing process
exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued.  For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors).  It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time.  When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace().  Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).

MNT_BYFSID changes, unmount(2) used to return ENOENT for a nonexistent
path and EINVAL for a non-mountpoint, but we can no longer distinguish
between these cases. Of the two error codes, EINVAL was more likely
to occur in practice, and it was the only one of the two that was
documented.

 - Inspected at the vmstat, top and vm pager sysctl stats level.
   Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness.
 - The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE.
   This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library
   page being wired twice. Further exploration is needed.
 - Believed to back out of allocations and locks correctly
   (tested with WITNESS, MUTEX_PROFILING, INVARIANTS and DIAGNOSTIC).

55e24f6e77 Document an additional error return value. The connect(2) call can also 
return EACCES on non-Unix domain sockets as demonstrated by the
following program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	struct sockaddr_in rem_addr;
	int sock;

	if ((sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) {
		perror("socket");
		exit(1);
	}

	bzero((char *)&rem_addr, sizeof(rem_addr));
	rem_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
	rem_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_NONE;
	rem_addr.sin_port = htons(10000);

	if (connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&rem_addr,
sizeof(rem_addr)) < 0) {
		perror("connect");
		exit(1);
	}
}

The call chain returning this value is probably:

kern/uipc_syscalls.c:connect
kern/uipc_socket.c:soconnect
netinet/tcp_usrreq.c:tcp_usr_connect
netinet/tcp_output.c:tcp_output

318f2fb4bf Add a new mount flag MNT_BYFSID that can be used to unmount a file 
system by specifying the file system ID instead of a path. Use this
by default in umount(8). This avoids the need to perform any vnode
operations to look up the mount point, so it makes it possible to
unmount a file system whose root vnode cannot be looked up (e.g.
due to a dead NFS server, or a file system that has become detached
from the hierarchy because an underlying file system was unmounted).
It also provides an unambiguous way to specify which file system is
to be unmunted.

Since the ability to unmount using a path name is retained only for
compatibility, that case now just uses a simple string comparison
of the supplied path against f_mntonname of each mounted file system.

ff1db98495 Separate the description of the flags for mount(2) and unmount(2) 
to clarify which system call accepts which arguments. Previously
the manual page gave the impression that calling unmount() with
flags of (MNT_FORCE | MNT_UPDATE | MNT_RDONLY) would downgrade a
read-write mount to read-only, which is clearly untrue; to do that,
these flags should be passed to mount() instead.

e9e3b98562 Remove the "special processes" section. It has rotted, and the idea 
ceased to be useful when the number of "special processes" went from 3
to one per device.  I considered replacing it with a "kernel threads"
section, but this seemed like the wrong place for that.

52183d0145 Add uuidgen(2) and uuidgen(1). 
The uuidgen command, by means of the uuidgen syscall, generates one
or more Universally Unique Identifiers compatible with OSF/DCE 1.1
version 1 UUIDs.

From the Perforce logs (change 11995):

Round of cleanups:
o  Give uuidgen() the correct prototype in syscalls.master
o  Define struct uuid according to DCE 1.1 in sys/uuid.h
o  Use struct uuid instead of uuid_t. The latter is defined
   in sys/uuid.h but should not be used in kernel land.
o  Add snprintf_uuid(), printf_uuid() and sbuf_printf_uuid()
   to kern_uuid.c for use in the kernel (currently geom_gpt.c).
o  Rename the non-standard struct uuid in kern/kern_uuid.c
   to struct uuid_private and give it a slightly better definition
   for better byte-order handling. See below.
o  In sys/gpt.h, fix the broken uuid definitions to match the now
   compliant struct uuid definition. See below.
o  In usr.bin/uuidgen/uuidgen.c catch up with struct uuid change.

A note about byte-order:
        The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.
