This driver actually works slightly better on -stable than on -current
(the system locks on detach on -current), so it should be MFC'd somewhat
sooner.
This driver currently points out a difficulty in the sound device framework.
The PCM unregister routine is allowed to refuse the detach if the device is
in use. In the case of a USB device, however, this unregistration is much more
mandatory in nature, since the device is *actually* gone when this call is
made. The sound subsystem really should not refuse an unregistration and
should take its own steps to reject further I/O. As a result, if you detach
a USB sound device while it is in use, you can expect a panic shortly
thereafter.
This device cannot currently record audio. Some routines are unwritten as
of yet in uaudio.c to support recording.

This code makes use of variable-size kernel representation of rules
(exactly the same concept of BPF instructions, as used in the BSDI's
firewall), which makes firewall operation a lot faster, and the
code more readable and easier to extend and debug.
The interface with the rest of the system is unchanged, as witnessed
by this commit. The only extra kernel files that I am touching
are if_fw.h and ip_dummynet.c, which is quite tied to ipfw. In
userland I only had to touch those programs which manipulate the
internal representation of firewall rules).
The code is almost entirely new (and I believe I have written the
vast majority of those sections which were taken from the former
ip_fw.c), so rather than modifying the old ip_fw.c I decided to
create a new file, sys/netinet/ip_fw2.c . Same for the user
interface, which is in sbin/ipfw/ipfw2.c (it still compiles to
/sbin/ipfw). The old files are still there, and will be removed
in due time.
I have not renamed the header file because it would have required
touching a one-line change to a number of kernel files.
In terms of user interface, the new "ipfw" is supposed to accepts
the old syntax for ipfw rules (and produce the same output with
"ipfw show". Only a couple of the old options (out of some 30 of
them) has not been implemented, but they will be soon.
On the other hand, the new code has some very powerful extensions.
First, you can put "or" connectives between match fields (and soon
also between options), and write things like
ipfw add allow ip from { 1.2.3.4/27 or 5.6.7.8/30 } 10-23,25,1024-3000 to any
This should make rulesets slightly more compact (and lines longer!),
by condensing 2 or more of the old rules into single ones.
Also, as an example of how easy the rules can be extended, I have
implemented an 'address set' match pattern, where you can specify
an IP address in a format like this:
10.20.30.0/26{18,44,33,22,9}
which will match the set of hosts listed in braces belonging to the
subnet 10.20.30.0/26 . The match is done using a bitmap, so it is
essentially a constant time operation requiring a handful of CPU
instructions (and a very small amount of memmory -- for a full /24
subnet, the instruction only consumes 40 bytes).
Again, in this commit I have focused on functionality and tried
to minimize changes to the other parts of the system. Some performance
improvement can be achieved with minor changes to the interface of
ip_fw_chk_t. This will be done later when this code is settled.
The code is meant to compile unmodified on RELENG_4 (once the
PACKET_TAG_* changes have been merged), for this reason
you will see #ifdef __FreeBSD_version in a couple of places.
This should minimize errors when (hopefully soon) it will be time
to do the MFC.

vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.
This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)

options do. Comments should be in NOTES and having the comments in two
places usually means that one place will just bitrot. Thus, remove the
comment for KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL from the previous revision.
Requested by: bde
operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled
asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events
to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by
the new ktrace_lock.
There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various
ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the
end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of
the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the
thread triggering the event.
Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a
ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace
worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are
still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests
from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a
synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put
the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread.
The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue.
When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up
the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a
later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the
synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the
synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread
back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work.
Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep()
and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few
locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the
vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means
that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered.
Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool
and returned to the pool after a request is serviced.
The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an
i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the
KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the
kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the
kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl.
If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is
printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only
printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl.
I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted
by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory.
Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace
vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose
to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently
the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is
a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first
argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer.
Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a
process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now
per-thread instead of process-wide.

that the virtual cachability of these mappings can be tracked when a page

is currently conditional on both the GEOM and GEOM_GPT options to
avoid getting GPT by default and having the MBR and GPT classes
clash.
The correct behaviour of the MBR class would be to back-off (reject)
a MBR if it's a Protective MBR (a MBR with a single partition of type
0xEE that spans the whole disk (as far as the MBR is concerned).
The correct behaviour if the GPT class would be to back-off (reject)
a GPT if there's a MBR that's not a Protective MBR.
At this stage it's inconvenient to destroy a good MBR when working
with GPTs that it's more convenient to have the MBR class back-off
when it detects the GPT signature on disk and have the GPT class
ignore the MBR.
In sys/gpt.h UUIDs (GUIDs) for the following FreeBSD partitions
have been defined:
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD
FreeBSD slice with disklabel. This is the equivalent of
the well-known FreeBSD MBR partition type.
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD_{SWAP|UFS|UFS2|VINUM}
FreeBSD partitions in the context of disklabel. This is
speculating on the idea to use the GPT to hold partitions
instead if slices and removing the fixed (and low) limits
we have on the number of partitions.

A note about byte-order:
The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.

We are gaining warnings again that should be fixed but the are being hidden
by NO_WERROR and all the -Wformat noise.
option is used (not on by default).
- In the case of trying to lock a mutex, if the MTX_CONTESTED flag is set,
then we can safely read the thread pointer from the mtx_lock member while
holding sched_lock. We then examine the thread to see if it is currently
executing on another CPU. If it is, then we keep looping instead of
blocking.
- In the case of trying to unlock a mutex, it is now possible for a mutex
to have MTX_CONTESTED set in mtx_lock but to not have any threads
actually blocked on it, so we need to handle that case. In that case,
we just release the lock as if MTX_CONTESTED was not set and return.
- We do not adaptively spin on Giant as Giant is held for long times and
it slows SMP systems down to a crawl (it was taking several minutes,
like 5-10 or so for my test alpha and sparc64 SMP boxes to boot up when
they adaptively spinned on Giant).
- We only compile in the code to do this for SMP kernels, it doesn't make
sense for UP kernels.
Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64
IFS had its fingers deep in the belly of the UFS/FFS split. IFS
will be reimplemented by the maintainer at a later date.

shared code and converting all ufs references. Originally it may
have made sense to share common features between the two filesystems,
but recently it has only caused problems, the UFS2 work being the
final straw.
All UFS_* indirect calls are now direct calls to ext2_* functions,
and ext2fs-specific mount and inode structures have been introduced.
nearly in its entirety from i386, so it retains the phk/nati copyright.
Savecore likes the results, but I have no way to test it as gdb is
still broken.
0xdeadc0de and then check for it just before memory is handed off as part
of a new request. This will catch any post free/pre alloc modification of
memory, as well as introduce errors for anything that tries to dereference
it as a pointer.
This code takes the form of special init, fini, ctor and dtor routines that
are specificly used by malloc. It is in a seperate file because additional
debugging aids will want to live here as well.
ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.
MFC after: 3 days
to build kernel and kernel modules so stop supporting them in
bsd.subdir.mk and reimplement them in kern.post.mk and kmod.mk
as special versions of the install and reinstall targets, and
only define them if DEBUG is also defined (when debug versions
are really built).
Prompted by: bde
Ensure all standard targets honor SUBDIR. Now `make obj' descends into
SUBDIRs even if NOOBJ is set (some descendants may still need an object
directory, but we do not have such precedents). Now `make install' in
non-bsd.subdir.mk makefiles runs `afterinstall' target _after_ `install'
in SUBDIRs, like we do in bsd.subdir.mk. Nothing depended on the wrong
order anyway.
Fixed `distribute' targets (except for the bsd.subdir.mk version) so that
they do not depend on _SUBDIR; `distribute' calls `install' which already
depends on _SUBDIR.
De-standardize `maninstall', otherwise manpages would be installed twice.
(To be revised later.)
- Add stubs for EISA and SBUS cards.
(VME, FutureBUS, and TurboChannel stubs not provided.)
- Add infrastructure to build driver and bus front-end modules.
