nfs_bio.c code worked better than the 1.44. This commit reverts
the important parts of 1.44 to 1.41, and we will fix it when we
can get a handle on the problem.
surprise, procfs actually is optional, and some people truly do generate
kernels without it. Wow. I built a kernel without 'options PROCFS' and
it compiled and linked.

- The `psm' driver is made to recognize various models of PS/2 mice
and enable their extra features so that their additional buttons and
wheel/roller are recognized. The name of the detected model will be
printed at boot time.
- A set of new ioctl functions are added to the `psm', `mse' and
`sysmouse' drivers so that the userland program (such as the X server)
can query device information and change driver settings.
- The wheel/roller movement is handled as the `Z' axis movement by the
mouse drivers and the moused daemon. The Z axis movement may be mapped
to another axis movement or buttons.
- The mouse drivers support a new, standard mouse data format,
MOUSE_PROTO_SYSMOUSE format which can encode x, y, and x axis movement
and up to 10 buttons.
/sys/i386/include/mouse.h
- Added some fields to `mousestatus_t' to store Z axis movement
and flag bits.
- Added the field `model' to `mousehw_t' to store mouse model code.
Defined model codes.
- Extended `mousemode_t'.
- Added new protocols and some constants for them.
- Added new ioctl functions and structures.
- Removed obsolete ioctl definitions.
/sys/i386/include/console.h
- Added `dz' field to the structure `mouse_data' to pass Z axis movement
to `syscons/sysmouse'.
- Removed LEFT_BUTTON, MIDDLE_BUTTON and RIGHT_BUTTON. Use button bits
defined in `mouse.h' instead.
/sys/i386/isa/psm.c
- Added a set of functions to detect various mice which have additional
features (wheel and buttons) unavailable in the standard PS/2 mouse.
- Refined existing ioctl functions and added new ones. Most important
of all is MOUSE_SETLEVEL which manipulates the output level of the driver.
While the output level remains zero, the output from the `psm' driver is
in the standard PS/2 mouse format (three bytes long). When the level
is set to one, the `psm' driver will send data in the extended format.
At the level two the driver uses the format which is native to the
connected mouse is used. (Meaning that the output from the device is
passed to the caller as is, unmodified.) The `psm' driver will pass
such extended data format as is to the caller if the output level is
two, but emulates the standard format if the output level is zero.
- Added kernel configuration flags to set initial resolution
(PSM_CONFIG_RESOLUTION) and acceleration (PSM_CONFIG_ACCEL).
- Removed the compile options PSM_ACCEL, PSM_CHECKSYNC and PSM_EMULATION.
Acceleration ratio is now specified by the kernel configuration flags
stated above. Sync check logic is refined and now standard.
The sync check can be turned off by the new kernel configuration flags
PSM_CONFIG_NOCHECKSYNC (0x100). PSM_EMULATION has been of little use.
- Summer clean up :-) Removed unused code and obsolete comments.
/sys/i386/isa/mse.c
- Created mseioctl() to deal with ioctl functions MOUSE_XXXX.
Most importantly, the MOUSE_SETLEVEL ioctl will change the
output format from the 5 byte format to the new, extended format
so that the caller can take advantage of Z axis movement and additional
buttons.
- Use constants defined in `mouse.h' rather than magic numbers.
/sys/i386/isa/syscons.c
- Changed scioctl() to reflect the new `console.h' and some of the new
ioctls defined in `mouse.h'. Most importantly, the MOUSE_SETLEVEL
ioctl will change the `sysmouse' output format from the MouseSystems
5 byte format to the new, extended format so that the caller can
take advantage of Z axis movement and additional buttons.
- Added support for double/triple click actions of the left button and
single click action of the right button in the virtual console. The
left button double click will select a word under the mouse pointer.
The triple click will select a line and the single click of the right
button will extend the selected region to the current position of
the mouse pointer. This will make the cut/paste support more compatible
with xterm.
/sys/i386/isa/kbdio.h
- Added PSM_INTELLI_ID.

means that a broken truss prorgam won't do it accidently now (well,
there's a small window of opportunity). Note that this requires the
change to truss I am about to commit.
low level ioctl routines instead of the magic number -1 so that
callers can distinguish it from ERESTART (which happens to be -1).
-1 meant that the ioctl was not handled at the called level.
ERESTART is normal when a sleeping ioctl is interrupted. ERESTART
got converted to ENOTTY instead of restarting the ioctl. Many
(most?) ioctls can not be restarted safely, but this is apparently
supposed to be handled by drivers converting ERESTART to EINTR.
I first saw this problem for TIOCDRAIN. Justin saw if for disk
ioctls.
Added missing parentheses.

to be more accurate.

the maximum pageout rate:
sysctl -w vm.vm_maxlaunder=n
1 < n < inf.
If paging heavily on large systems, it is likely that a performance
improvement can be achieved by increasing the parameter. On a large
system, the parm is 32, but numbers as large as 128 can make a big
difference. If paging is expensive, you might try decreasing the
number to 1-8.
1) Fix the initialization of malloc structure that changed
due to perf opt.
2) Remove unneeded include.
3) An initialization assert added to malloc.

is present, the match is now case-sensitive, if RR is missing, the
match is case-insensitive (as it used to be before).
sysctl -w vm.defer_swap_pageouts=1
Causes the system to resist the use of swap space. In low memory
conditions, performance will decrease.
sysctl -w vm.disable_swap_pageouts=1
Causes the system to mostly disable the use of swap space. In
low memory conditions, the system will likely start killing
processes.
the barrery time remaining is reported as a random number. Initialize
edx to 0xffff in this case, and to 0 in all other cases. This change
should be benign on other machines.

this could be alleviated by aligning idt correctly, and then only dealing with
that (as opposed to the current method of allocated two pages and copying the
IDT table to that, and then setting that to be the IDT table).

This should fix the incompatibility between kernel and ncrcontrol,
which is the result of FAILSAFE being defined in the kernel config
file, invisible to the build of ncrcontrol. (See kern/5133, which
should be fixed by this change.)
