Changed nearby output formats from %x to %#x so that it is obvious that the
numbers are in hex (vinum mostly uses 0x%x elsewhere).
Didn't fix nearby format printf errors (long lines).
Printing daddr_t's using %d format was always an error, but gcc's
warning about it was ignored for supported 64-bit arches and not printed
for supported 32-bit arches. Hundreds if not thousands thousands of
previously "fixed" daddr_t printings are now broken on 32-bit machines
by casting daddr_t's to longs. daddr_t's should be printed using %jd
format, but this fix uses %lld since %j is not implemented in the
kernel yet.
Fixed some nearby format printf errors (style bugs).
this is called /boot/nextboot.conf. This file is required to have it's first
line be nextboot_enable="YES" for it to be read. Also, this file is
rewritten by the loader to nextboot_enable="NO"<space> after it is read.
This makes it so the file is read exactly once. Finally, the nextboot.conf
is removed shortly after the filesystems are mounted r/w.
Caution should be taken as you can shoot yourself in the foot. This is only
the loader piece. There will be a tool called nextboot(8) that will manage
the nextboot.conf file for you. It is coming shortly.

the last accessed datum is moved to the root of the splay tree.
Therefore, on lookups in which the hint resulted in O(1) access,
the splay tree still achieves O(1) access. In contrast, on lookups
in which the hint failed miserably, the splay tree achieves amortized
logarithmic complexity, resulting in dramatic improvements on vm_maps
with a large number of entries. For example, the execution time
for replaying an access log from www.cs.rice.edu against the thttpd
web server was reduced by 23.5% due to the large number of files
simultaneously mmap()ed by this server. (The machine in question has
enough memory to cache most of this workload.)
Nothing comes for free: At present, I see a 0.2% slowdown on "buildworld"
due to the overhead of maintaining the splay tree. I believe that
some or all of this can be eliminated through optimizations
to the code.

byte offset of the directory entry for the inode number for all types
of files except directories, although this breaks hard links for
non-directories even if it doesn't cause overflow. Just ignore this
broken inode number for stat() and readdir() and return a less broken
one (the block offset of the file), so that applications normally can't
see the brokenness.
This leaves at least the following brokenness:
- extra inodes, vnodes and caching for hard links.
- various overflow bugs. cd9660 supports 64-bit block numbers, but we
silently ignore the top 32 bits in isonum_733() and then drop another
10 bits for our broken inode numbers. We may also have sign extension
bugs from storing 32-bit extents in ints and longs even if ints are
32-bits. These bugs affect DVDs. mkisofs apparently limits them
by writing directory entries first.
Inode numbers were broken mainly in 4.4BSD-Lite2. FreeBSD-1.1.5 seems
to have a correct implementation modulo the overflow bugs. We need
to look up directory entries from inodes for symlinks only. FreeBSD-1.1.5
use separate fields (iso_parent_extent, iso_parent) to point to the
directory entry. 4.4BSD-Lite doesn't have these, and abuses i_ino to
point to the directory entry. Correct pointers are impossible for
hard links, but symlinks can't be hard links.

- 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.

Some methods may implement various "magic spaces", this is reserved
or magic areas on the disk, set a side for various and sundry purposes.
A good example is the BSD disklabel and boot code on i386 which occupies
a total of four magic spaces: boot1, the disklabel, the padding behind
the disklabel and boot2. The reason we don't simply tell people to
write the appropriate stuff on the underlying device is that (some of)
the magic spaces might be real-time modifiable. It is for instance
possible to change a disklabel while partitions are open, provided
the open partitions do not get trampled in the process.
