How it works:
--
Basically ifs is a copy of ffs, overriding some vfs/vnops. (Yes, hack.)
I didn't see the need in duplicating all of sys/ufs/ffs to get this
off the ground.
File creation is done through a special file - 'newfile' . When newfile
is called, the system allocates and returns an inode. Note that newfile
is done in a cloning fashion:
fd = open("newfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0644);
fstat(fd, &st);
printf("new file is %d\n", (int)st.st_ino);
Once you have created a file, you can open() and unlink() it by its returned
inode number retrieved from the stat call, ie:
fd = open("5", O_RDWR);
The creation permissions depend entirely if you have write access to the
root directory of the filesystem.
To get the list of currently allocated inodes, VOP_READDIR has been added
which returns a directory listing of those currently allocated.

What this entails:
* patching conf/files and conf/options to include IFS as a new compile
option (and since ifs depends upon FFS, include the FFS routines)
* An entry in i386/conf/NOTES indicating IFS exists and where to go for
an explanation
* Unstaticize a couple of routines in src/sys/ufs/ffs/ which the IFS
routines require (ffs_mount() and ffs_reload())
* a new bunch of routines in src/sys/ufs/ifs/ which implement the IFS
routines. IFS replaces some of the vfsops, and a handful of vnops -
most notably are VFS_VGET(), VOP_LOOKUP(), VOP_UNLINK() and VOP_READDIR().
Any other directory operation is marked as invalid.
What this results in:
* an IFS partition's create permissions are controlled by the perm/ownership of
the root mount point, just like a normal directory
* Each inode has perm and ownership too
* IFS does *NOT* mean an FFS partition can be opened per inode. This is a
completely seperate filesystem here
* Softupdates doesn't work with IFS, and really I don't think it needs it.
Besides, fsck's are FAST. (Try it :-)
* Inodes 0 and 1 aren't allocatable because they are special (dump/swap IIRC).
Inode 2 isn't allocatable since UFS/FFS locks all inodes in the system against
this particular inode, and unravelling THAT code isn't trivial. Therefore,
useful inodes start at 3.
Enjoy, and feedback is definitely appreciated!

Marcel). Due to time constraints, I'm going to space them out over a
few days.
This fixes two problems with linux_sigaltstack()
o ss == 0 is perfectly valid use, so do not fail in this case.
o Fix flag handling:
- Our SS_DISABLE is 4, linux's is 2, so we need conversion routines.
These conversion routines will be needed by linux_rt_sendsig()
and linux_rt_sigreturn (forthcoming), so they are not static.
- Linux's flag 0 historically meant SS_ONSTACK according to a comment
in their linux/kernel/signal.c file.
Among other things, this fixes a warning from Sun's JDK 1.3:
"Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: cannot uninstall alt signal stack"

This shouldn't affect the alpha or ia64, since they don't have a
variable named astpending. The alpha still has 2 declarations of
this nonexistent variable.

return through doreti to handle ast's. This is necessary for the
clock interrupts to work properly.
- Change the clock interrupts on the x86 to be fast instead of threaded.
This is needed because both hardclock() and statclock() need to run in
the context of the current process, not in a separate thread context.
- Kill the prevproc hack as it is no longer needed.
- We really need Giant when we call psignal(), but we don't want to block
during the clock interrupt. Instead, use two p_flag's in the proc struct
to mark the current process as having a pending SIGVTALRM or a SIGPROF
and let them be delivered during ast() when hardclock() has finished
running.
- Remove CLKF_BASEPRI, which was #ifdef'd out on the x86 anyways. It was
broken on the x86 if it was turned on since cpl is gone. It's only use
was to bogusly run softclock() directly during hardclock() rather than
scheduling an SWI.
- Remove the COM_LOCK simplelock and replace it with a clock_lock spin
mutex. Since the spin mutex already handles disabling/restoring
interrupts appropriately, this also lets us axe all the *_intr() fu.
- Back out the hacks in the APIC_IO x86 cpu_initclocks() code to use
temporary fast interrupts for the APIC trial.
- Add two new process flags P_ALRMPEND and P_PROFPEND to mark the pending
signals in hardclock() that are to be delivered in ast().

- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
- The ihandlers array is now gone. Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
that just contains SWI handlers.
- Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.

OsdSleepUsec(), SleepOp corresponds to OsdSleep() by reading ACPICA
source code.
- Add OsdSleepUsec() which uses DELAY() simply.
- Change unit of acpi_sleep() argument; microseconds to milliseconds.
