This differs from the approach taken in NetBSD, but provides
less obscure error messages in at least the EISDIR case and
does not take up additional disk space for new binaries.

worthy instance of the latter case was the inversion of -E and -V in the
subsection on Commandline Editing.
Turn off setgid-kmem for /bin/ps, it's now quite functional without it.
ps no longer needs /dev/*mem or /proc. (It will still use some /proc
files if they are available for -e, but it's not required, so it'll
happily run in a jail or chroot).
The proc stats are now part of eproc (obtained via sysctl) and no longer
needs to beat up the u-page reading code and the problems with that.
This also has the side effect of disabling 'ps -e' for normal users
*EXCEPT* when looking at their own processes. ie: they can see
environments in processes with their uid, enforced by the ownership of
/proc/*/mem. Root can still see them all, as it can open all /proc/*/mem.
This fixes some nasty procfs problems for SMP, makes ps(1) run much faster,
and makes ps(1) even less dependent on /proc which will aid chroot and
jails alike.
To disable this facility and revert to previous behaviour:
sysctl -w kern.ps_arg_cache_limit=0

avoid stat()-ing entries that do not represent "real" disk mount
points (such as those made by an automounter such as amd.) It is
also useful not to have to stat() these entries because it takes
longer to report them that for other file systems, being that these
mount points are served by a user-level file server and resulting in
several context switches. Worse, if the automounter is down
unexpectedly, a causal df(1) will hang in an interruptible way.

This is a conservative change. It does the same thing in weird
cases like the old one. For example, 'sleep abcd' still sleeps
for zero seconds. `sleep 10.a' and `sleep 10.05aa' do the best
and not abort (ie: 10.a == 10 seconds, 10.05a == 10.05 seconds).

it was working...) Fix a SEEK_SET to be SEEK_CUR, and make Bruce's

rm must not use FTS_NOCHDIR, since chdir'ing is required for removing
deep directory trees and the ability to remove such trees is required
by POSIX.2 and POLA. The breakage didn't make much difference until
recently, since fts(3) didn't work in deep directory trees. It isn't
clear whether using FTS_NOCHDIR ever fixed anything (Net/2's rm.c is
similar to Lite1's). Perhaps it was actually to limit the damage
caused by the fts bug.
BDEification process of dd(1). Most of the changes are from BDE's archive.
Support for negative offsets is gone again, but the case where you
lseek() onto byte -1 of something from a negative offset using seek/skip
is fixed; if you end up on -1, you won't get a false positive lseek failure.
The biggest changes are to data types (more size_t, for instance) and
argument parsing. skip/seek on /dev/{,k}mem now occurs (instead of "read
until you reach the offset") due to mem devices now being D_DISK. Some
const things are now correctly declared as such, and the "case table"
building is better. The only thing that seems to be left to make dd(1)
everything TOG wants it to be is l10n.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

and CPU runtime because it can't access the user area via /proc/<pid>/mem.
This is because the uarea is not mapped into the process address space
at USRSTACK on the alpha like it is on the x86.
Since I'm haven't been able to wrap my brain around the VM system enough
to be able to figure out how to achieve this mapping, and since it's
questionable that such an architectural change is correct, I implemented
a workaround to allow ps(1) to read the uarea from /dev/kmem using
kvm_read() instead of from the process address space via kvm_uread().
The kludge is hidden inside #ifdef __alpha__/#endif so as not to impact
the x86. (Note that top(1) probably uses this same gimmick since it works
on FreeBSD/alpha.)
