done this in ptrace syscall, when a pid is large than PID_MAX, the syscall
will search a thread in current process. It permits 1:1 thread library to
get and set a thread's scheduler attributes.
unless current thread is realtime thread, in such case, we set a new zero
priority for it, notice we don't have per-thread nice, the priority
passed by userland is ignored here.
use by ABI emulators.
- Alter the interface of kern_recvit() somewhat. Specifically, go ahead
and hard code UIO_USERSPACE in the uio as that's what all the callers
specify. In place, add a new uioseg to indicate what type of pointer
is in mp->msg_name. Previously it was always a userland address, but
ABI emulators may pass in kernel-side sockaddrs. Also, remove the
namelenp field and instead require the two places that used it to
explicitly copy mp->msg_namelen out to userland.
- Use the patched kern_recvit() to replace svr4_recvit() and the stock
kern_sendit() to replace svr4_sendit().
- Use kern_bind() instead of stackgap use in ti_bind().
- Use kern_getpeername() and kern_getsockname() instead of stackgap in
svr4_stream_ti_ioctl().
- Use kern_connect() instead of stackgap in svr4_do_putmsg().
- Use kern_getpeername() and kern_accept() instead of stackgap in
svr4_do_getmsg().
- Retire the stackgap from SVR4 compat as it is no longer used.
we will initialize the label to biba/low for files that have been created
through an NFS RPC. This is a safe default given the default nature of our
NFS implementation, there is not a whole lot of data integrity there by
default. This also fixes kernel panics associated with file creation over NFS
while creating files on filesystems which have multilabel enabled with BIBA
enabled.

loading for the QLogic cards.
Because isp(4) exists before the root is mounted, it's not really
possible for us to use the kernel's linker to load modules directly
from disk- that's really too bad.
However, the this is still a net win in in that the firmware has
been split up on a per chip (and in some cases, functionality)
basis, so the amount of stuff loaded *can* be substantially less
than the 1.5MB of firmware images that ispfw now manages. That is,
each specific f/w set is now also built as a module. For example,
QLogic 2322 f/w is built as isp_2322.ko and Initiator/Target 1080
firmware is built as isp_1080_it.ko.
For compatibility purposes (i.e., to perturb folks the least), we
also still build all of the firmware as one ispfw.ko module.
This allows us to let 'ispfw_LOAD' keep on working in existing
loader.conf files. If you now want to strip this down to just
the firmware for your h/w, you can then change loader.conf to
load the f/w you specifically want.
We also still allow for ispfw to be statically built (e.g., for
PAE and sparc64).
Future changes will look at f/w unloading and also role switching
that then uses the kernel linker to load different ips f/w sets.

o add SIOCCREATE2 that accepts parameter data
o rev vlan support to use new api (maintain old code)

that the 'data' pointer is already setup to point to a valid KVM buffer
or contains the copied-in data from userland as appropriate (ioctl(2)
still does this). kern_ioctl() takes care of looking up a file pointer,
implementing FIONCLEX and FIOCLEX, and calling fi_ioctl().
- Use kern_ioctl() to implement xenix_rdchk() instead of using the stackgap
and mark xenix_rdchk() MPSAFE.
mostly consists of pushing a few copyin's and copyout's up into
__semctl() as all the other callers were already doing the UIO_SYSSPACE
case. This also changes kern_semctl() to set the return value in a passed
in pointer to a register_t rather than td->td_retval[0] directly so that
callers can only set td->td_retval[0] if all the various copyout's succeed.
As a result of these changes, kern_semctl() no longer does copyin/copyout
(except for GETALL/SETALL) so simplify the locking to acquire the semakptr
mutex before the MAC check and hold it all the way until the end of the
big switch statement. The GETALL/SETALL cases have to temporarily drop it
while they do copyin/malloc and copyout. Also, simplify the SETALL case to
remove handling for a non-existent race condition.
to use the hinted child system. Bus drivers that use this need to
implmenet the bus_hinted_child method, where they actually add the
child to their bus, as they see fit. The bus is repsonsible for
getting the attribtues for the child, adding it in the right order,
etc. ISA hinting will be updated to use this method.

atkbd. Version 1.162 of GENERIC fixed this problem in April of 1999.
Subsequent to that, the hints data was removed from GENERIC and move
to hints files. All the hints file ever created have atkbd at the
right location. This should have been removed just after RELENG_4 was
branched (and likely around 4.5 in RELENG_4).
