alpha, operations involving non-finite numbers or denormalised numbers
or operations which should generate such numbers will cause an arithmetic
exception. For programs which follow some strict code generation rules,
the kernel trap handler can then 'complete' the operation by emulating
the faulting instruction.
To use software completion, a program must be compiled with the arguments
'-mtrap-precision=i' and '-mfp-trap-mode=su' or '-mfp-trap-mode=sui'.
Programs compiled in this way can use non-finite and denormalised numbers
at the expense of slightly less efficient code generation of floating
point instructions. Programs not compiled with these options will receive
a SIGFPE signal when non-finite or denormalised numbers are used or
generated.

use a 256 entry ring buffer of descriptersfor this purpose. This allows
the use of a simple 8bit counter in the sequencer code for tracking start
location.
Entries in the ring buffer now contain a "cmd_valid" byte at their tail.
As an entry is serviced, this byte is cleared by the kernel and set by
the sequencer during its dma of a new entry. Since this byte is the last
portion of the command touched during a dma, the kernel can use this
byte to ensure the command it processes is completely valid.
The new command format requires a fixed sized DMA from the controller
to deliver which allowed for additional simplification of the sequencer
code. The hack that required 1 SCB slot to be stolen for incoming
command delivery notification is also gone.

The fix is to move the code that duplicates the F_SETOWN/FIOSETOWN state

since accept1() runs in the correct context. Deferring this until the
process calls accept() is harmless since the process can't do anything

One could make the case for not bothering to duplicate the

Applications can now depend on tcgetattr() being POSIX.1 conformant.
- convert from a proposed input speed of 0 to the proposed output speed
(except if that is 0, convert to the current output speed). Drivers
can now depend on the proposed input speed being nonzero.
- don't reject negative speeds. Negative speeds can't happen now that
speed_t is unsigned, and rejecting invalid speeds is a bug - tcsetattr()
is supposed to succeed if it can "perform any of the requested actions",
so it shouldn't fail in practice.

the first time block 0 is read. This fix initialises the block
numbers to -1 which isn't the most correct thing for a daddr_t but
it isn't likely to cause a problem in the boot blocks and it could
do with a more thought out fix later.
The bug is probably benign on the i386 but on the alpha it can
cause initial file opens to fail. This is the cause of the "can't
open /boot/boot.conf" errors.
It appears on the alpha because of a number of combining factors.
On the alpha the LABELSECTOR is 0 so block 0 needs to be read in
from the media. The first time this happens you get a false hit
because the bc_blkno field is zero initially. Also, the timestamp
check against this cache hit succeeds because on the alpha a hacked
getsecs() function can return 0 when it starts counting so that
the zero initial timestamp + BCACHE_TIMEOUT is greater than the
current time until getsecs() has counted passed BCACHE_TIMEOUT.
The overall effect is that the first open() that occurs gets a
false cache hit and returns garbage to the bd_strategy() function
which then fails the open() call. This false hit then stays in the
cache until BCACHE_TIMEOUT getsecs() ticks have passed; all open()
calls during this time fail.
This explains why you can generally access the media by the time
you get to interp() and start issuing commands but the earlier
attempts to run the boot scripts are failing.
It's possible that this is causing the problem switching to the
mfsroot floppy as well but I haven't confirmed that.

pid space somewhat more sparse which improves the performance of finding
an unused pid on systems with large numbers of processes. The new value
was chosen so that it doesn't overflow the 5 digit pid fields in various

This yields startling performance increases for NFS clients for many
access profiles, due to the fact that ACCESS results are persistently
cached in the namecache in many cases.
Note that the code is somewhat conservative in that it requires an
exact credential match for a cache hit. This bloats the nfsnode

approach opens the possibility for a false veto in eg. setuid
applications. Alternative suggestions would be welcomed.

which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.
the top half to do it.
Put in a dubious check for subdisk integrity when trying to bring
up a plex where others are already up. This particular kludge is
crying out for a rewrite of the whole state code.
Add code to set_plex_state and set_volume_state to defer updates when
called from an interrupt context. This doesn't happen yet, but it
could do.
the NFSv3 ACCESS RPC problems a little for busy clients that do a lot of
open/close. The nfs code could probably cache the results, but I'm not
sure whether this would be legal or useful. The problem is that with
a CPU farm, on each open there would be a lookup, getattr then access RPC
then the read/write RPC activity. Caching the access results probably
isn't going to help much if the clients access lots of files. Having the
nfs_access() routine interpret the getattr results is a bit of a hack, but
it's how NFSv2 is done and it might be OK for a mount attribute for v3.
manipulation away from the length comparison. Measurements on beast.cdrom.com
show >3X improvement over the original code on large block sizes, putting the
performance on par with the optimized assembly code in libc.
and increase the tx interrupt threshold to 4. This fixes performance
problems on slower systems.
Also fix a mind-o in the rx ring init routine: I used the TX
constant instead of the RX. This isn't a problem as long as the
rings are the same size, but if they aren't hijinx will ensue.
* Embed the stack into the bss section for loader and netboot. This
is required for netboot since otherwise the stack would be inside our
heap.
* Install loader and netboot in /boot by default.
* Fix getbootfile so that it searches for a ',' instead of a ';'
when terminating the filename.
sure that this is necessary to be a sync write here since a VOP_FSYNC()
follows and it will schedule, sort and complete the writes that the
vm_object_page_clean() started (as I think I understand things).
- Use TAILQ_* macros extensively instead of internal names
- use b_xflags instead of the NOLIST magic number hack in the next pointer
- clean bufs are inserted at the tail rather than the head.
- redo dirty buffer insert so that metadata (negative lbn) goes to the
tail directly rather than at the HEAD. This makes a difference when
inserting dirty data blocks in lbn sorted order since data block
insertion will not have to bypass all the metadata cruft. data is
lbn sorted since it makes sense for clustering and writeback ordering,
while metadata sorting doesn't help much since the lbn's are
meaningless when walking the list for writebacks.
Small systems will not notice much (if any) benefit from this, but really
busy systems with large dirty block lists should get a lot more.
I've tested this with softdep, and it doesn't seem to mind the change of
queueing of metadata.

Add a new flags field (we get this for free because of struct packing)
for cleaner management of tailq membership.
We had two spare b_flags slots, but they are a precious resource and may
be needed for other things that are related to other b_flags bits. The two
new flags are convenient to use in a seperate location.

While here, have vfs_msync() only call vm_object_page_clean() with
OBJPC_SYNC if called with MNT_WAIT flags. vfs_msync() is called at unmount
time (with MNT_WAIT) and from the syncer process (formerly update).
This should make dirty mmap writebacks a little less nasty.
I have tested this a little with SOFTUPDATES enabled, but I don't normally
use it since I've been badly burned too many times.
