Much of this is related to <sys/clock.h>, which should really have
been called <sys/calendar.h>, but unless and until we need the name,
the repocopy can wait.
In general the kernel does not know about minutes, hours, days,
timezones, daylight savings time, leap-years and such. All that
is theoretically a matter for userland only.
Parts of kernel code does however care: badly designed filesystems
store timestamps in local time and RTC chips almost universally
track time in a YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, and sometimes in local
timezone instead of UTC. For this we have <sys/clock.h>
<sys/time.h> on the other hand, deals with time_t, timeval, timespec
and so on. These know only seconds and fractions thereof.
Move inittodr() and resettodr() prototypes to <sys/time.h>.
Retain the names as it is one of the few surviving PDP/VAX references.
Move startrtclock() to <machine/clock.h> on relevant platforms, it
is a MD call between machdep.c/clock.c. Remove references to it
elsewhere.
Remove a lot of unnecessary <sys/clock.h> includes.
Move the machdep.disable_rtc_set sysctl to subr_rtc.c where it belongs.

is to be requested via a "ro" option. At the same time, MNT_RDONLY
is gradually becoming an indicator of the current state of the FS
instead of a command flag. Today passing MNT_RDONLY alone to the
kernel's mount machinery will lead to various glitches. (See the
PRs for examples.)
Therefore mount the root FS with a "ro" option instead of the
MNT_RDONLY flag. (Note that MNT_RDONLY still is added to the mount
flags internally, by vfs_donmount(), if "ro" was specified.)
To be able to pass "ro" cleanly to kernel_vmount(), teach the latter
function to accept options with NULL values.
Also correct the comment explaining how mount_arg() handles length
of -1.

always curthread now
- Axe lockcount() function as it is no longer used
- Axe LOCKMGR_ASSERT() as it is bogus really and no currently used.
Hopefully this will be soonly replaced by something suitable for it.
- Remove the prototype for dumplockinfo() as the function is no longer

- Introduce a KASSERT() in lockstatus() in order to let it accept only
curthread or NULL as they should only be passed
- Do a little bit of style(9) cleanup on lockmgr.h

mounted FS' problems. These are more along the lines of 'avoiding an
avoidable panic' than a complete solution to removable devices. We
now close the barn door after the horse has gotten lose and has been
hit by a truck, as it were. The barn no longer catches fire in this
case, but the horse is still dead :-).
The vfs_bio.c fix causes us not to put a failed write back into the
dirty pool if the error returned was ENXIO. In that case, the buffer
is treated like any other clean buffer that's being retured. ENXIO
means the device isn't there anymore and will never be there again in
the future, so retrying is futile.
The vfs_mount.c fix treats 'ENXIO' as success for unmounting a file
system. If the device is gone, retrying later won't help and we'll
never be able to unmount the device.
These two are part of a larger patch set submitted by the author. The
other patches will be forth coming. I added comments to these two

PRIV_VFS_MOUNT_NONUSER privileges for a jailed super-user.
It is turned off by default.
A jail-friendly file system is a file system which driver registers
itself with VFCF_JAIL flag via VFS_SET(9) API.
The lsvfs(1) command can be used to see which file systems are
jail-friendly ones.
There currently no jail-friendly file systems, ZFS will be the first one.
In the future we may consider marking file systems like nullfs as
jail-friendly.

and flags with an sxlock. This leads to a significant and measurable
performance improvement as a result of access to shared locking for
frequent lookup operations, reduced general overhead, and reduced overhead
in the event of contention. All of these are imported for threaded
applications where simultaneous access to a shared file descriptor array
occurs frequently. Kris has reported 2x-4x transaction rate improvements
on 8-core MySQL benchmarks; smaller improvements can be expected for many
workloads as a result of reduced overhead.
- Generally eliminate the distinction between "fast" and regular
acquisisition of the filedesc lock; the plan is that they will now all
be fast. Change all locking instances to either shared or exclusive
locks.
- Correct a bug (pointed out by kib) in fdfree() where previously msleep()
was called without the mutex held; sx_sleep() is now always called with
the sxlock held exclusively.
- Universally hold the struct file lock over changes to struct file,
rather than the filedesc lock or no lock. Always update the f_ops
field last. A further memory barrier is required here in the future
(discussed with jhb).
- Improve locking and reference management in linux_at(), which fails to
properly acquire vnode references before using vnode pointers. Annotate
improper use of vn_fullpath(), which will be replaced at a future date.
In fcntl(), we conservatively acquire an exclusive lock, even though in
some cases a shared lock may be sufficient, which should be revisited.
The dropping of the filedesc lock in fdgrowtable() is no longer required
as the sxlock can be held over the sleep operation; we should consider
removing that (pointed out by attilio).

vfs_flags field is used for VFCF_* flags which are given at file system
driver creation time (via VFS_SET(9)) macro.
What this code did was bascially this:
If file system registers itself with VFCF_UNICODE flag (stores file names
as Unicode), it will gain MNT_SOFTDEP flag (UFS soft-updates).
If file system registers itself with VFCF_LOOPBACK flag (aliases some other
mounted FS), it will gain MNT_SUIDDIR flag (special handling of SUID on
dirs).
The latter will be quite dangerous, but those flags are reset later in
vfs_domount().
