Fixed pedantic syntax errors caused by trailing semicolons in macro
definitions.
Fixed style bugs and typos in revisions 1.26-1.33.
for users who are root, or in group wheel. This is useful on large timesharing
systems where a PS command can cause the system to grind to a halt. The
ability to get the information isn't diminished for those who really need the
additional detail (administrators.) Normal users won't see any difference unless
the processes are swapped out. The "really get it mode" is invoked by the
use of an additional flag in the command string "-f". New/old behavior is
selectable with a compile option.

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.

emacs a.out file, self-generated by emacs's "unexec" function in
"unexsunos4.c", is invalid. In particular, its "_end" symbol has
the wrong value. The dynamic linker was using the value of that
symbol to initialize its sbrk break level.
The workaround is to peek at the executable's a.out header in
memory, and calculate what "_end" should be based on the segment
sizes.
I will work out a fix for emacs and send it to the FSF. This
dynamic linker workaround is still worthwhile, if only to avoid
forcing all emacs users to build a new version.
Note: xemacs gives a bogus warning at startup, for related reasons.
The warning is harmless and can safely be ignored. I will send a
patch to the xemacs maintainers to get rid of it, and meanwhile
add a patch file to our port.
so the filenames can be displayed and selected in full beauty. If RR
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.

(I *really* meant to do this *before* committing the
deflate changes in the first place - oops).
Pppd is horribly broken in this respect - refer to the
ppp man page for details. Ppp *WON'T* negotiate deflate
with pppd by default - you must ``enable'' and ``accept''
``pppd-deflate'' in your config.
While I'm in there, update the cftypes in ccp.c so that

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).

number of tags (NCR_SCSI_DFLT_TAGS), which is 0 in the FAILSAFE case.
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.)
