- Write method of a queue now is void,length of item is taken
as queue property.
- Write methods don't need to know about mbud, supply just buf
to them.
- No need for safe queue iterator in pfsync_sendout().

disk_open(). Very often this is called several times for one file.
This leads to reading partition table metadata for each call. To
reduce the number of disk I/O we have a simple block cache, but it
is very dumb and more than half of I/O operations related to reading
metadata, misses this cache.
Introduce new cache layer to resolve this problem. It is independent
and doesn't need initialization like bcache, and will work by default
for all loaders which use the new DISK API. A successful disk_open()
call to each new disk or partition produces new entry in the cache.
Even more, when disk was already open, now opening of any nested
partitions does not require reading top level partition table.
So, if without this cache, partition table metadata was read around
20-50 times during boot, now it reads only once. This affects the booting
from GPT and MBR from the UFS.
. Change the API for the LD80C by removing the explicit passing
of the sign bit. The sign can be determined from the last
parameter of the macro.
. On i386, load long double by bit manipulations to work around
at least a gcc compiler issue. On non-i386 ld80 architectures,
use a simple assignment.
* ld80/s_expl.c:
. Update the only consumer of LD80C.

This fixes a race condition where another thread may fork() before CLOEXEC
is set, unintentionally passing the descriptor to the child process.
This commit only adds O_CLOEXEC flags to open() or openat() calls where no
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) follows. The separate fcntl() call still
leaves a race window so it should be fixed later.
"clean-room" environment used to query rc.conf(5) parameters.
This brings bsdconfig(8)'s sysrc.subr in-line with both the sysrc(8) manual
[provided by sysutils/sysrc] and sysrc(8)'s own sysrc.subr (now identical to
bsdconfig(8)'s sysrc.subr as of this patch).
Finally, this will allow a clean import of sysutils/sysrc (sans sysrc.subr,
already provided here).

pf_purge_expired_states().
Now pf purging daemon stores the current hash table index on stack
in pf_purge_thread(), and supplies it to next iteration of
pf_purge_expired_states(). The latter returns new index back.
The important change is that whenever pf_purge_expired_states() wraps
around the array it returns immediately. This makes our knowledge about
status of states expiry run more consistent. Prior to this change it
could happen that n-th run stopped on i-th entry, and returned (1) as
full run complete, then next (n+1) full run stopped on j-th entry, where
j < i, and that broke the mark-and-sweep algorythm that saves references
rules. A referenced rule was freed, and this later lead to a crash.
tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.
o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.
o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.
o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.
o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.
o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.
o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.
o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.
o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats
from hardware.

If you have a binary on a filesystem which is also mounted over by
nullfs, you could execute the binary from the lower filesystem, or
from the nullfs mount. When executed from lower filesystem, the lower
vnode gets VV_TEXT flag set, and the file cannot be modified while the
binary is active. But, if executed as the nullfs alias, only the
nullfs vnode gets VV_TEXT set, and you still can open the lower vnode
for write.
Add a set of VOPs for the VV_TEXT query, set and clear operations,
which are correctly bypassed to lower vnode.

number is not exactly specified. When the disk has MBR, also try to read
BSD label after ptable_getpart() call. When the disk has GPT, also set
d_partition to 255. Mostly, this is how it worked before.
mutexes held and the topology lock is an sx lock.
The topology lock was there to protect traversing through the list of providers
of disk's geom, but it seems that disk's geom has always exactly one provider.
Change the code to call g_wither_provider() for this one provider, which is
safe to do without holding the topology lock and assert that there is indeed
only one provider.

Because fts keeps internal file descriptors open across calls, making such
descriptors close-on-exec helps not only multi-threaded applications but
also single-threaded applications.
In particular, this prevents passing a temporary file descriptor for saving
the current directory to processes created via find -exec.
ngthread properly set the item's depth to 1. In particular, prior to this
change if ng_snd_item failed to acquire a lock on a node, the item's depth
would not be set at all. This fix ensures that the error code from rcvmsg/
rcvdata is properly passed back to the apply callback. For example, this
fixes a bug where an error from rcvmsg/rcvdata would not previously
propagate back to a libnetgraph consumer when the message was queued.

The attempt to merge changes from the linux libtirpc caused
rpc.lockd to exit after startup under unclear conditions.
After many hours of selective experiments and inconsistent results
the conclusion is that it's better to just revert everything and
restart in a future time with a much smaller subset of the
