clock interrupts.
Keep a 1-in-16 smoothed average of the length of each tick. If the
CPU speed is correctly diagnosed, this should give experienced users
enough information to figure out a more suitable value for `tick'.
fd and wt drivers need bounce buffers, so this normally saves 32K-1K
of kernel memory.
Keep track of which DMA channels are busy. isa_dmadone() must now be
called when DMA has finished or been aborted.
Panic for unallocated and too-small (required) bounce buffers.
fd.c:
There will be new warnings about isa_dmadone() not being called after
DMA has been aborted.
sound/dmabuf.c:
isa_dmadone() needs more parameters than are available, so temporarily
use a new interface isa_dmadone_nobounce() to avoid having to worry
about panics for fake parameters. Untested.
- cpuclass should be cpu_class
- CPUCLASS_I386 should be CPUCLASS_386
(^^ those only show up if you compile for i386)
- two missing prototypes on new functions
- one missing static
Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish
overhead for merged cache.
Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant
calls to cluster_rbuild.
Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials.
Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6.
Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally,
fixes in the various pagers.
Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs.
Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code
will not as readily thrash.
Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into
page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE),
thereby improving efficiency of several routines.
Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations.
Significantly speed up process forks.
Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause
that happens every 30seconds.
Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the
case of filesystems mounted async.
Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO
buffers.
Add more features to the one remaining to handle the job:
+ signed quantity.
# alternate format
- left padding
* read width as next arg.
n numeric in (argument specified) default radix.
Fix the DDB debugger to use these.
Use vprintf in debug routine in pcvt.
The warnings from gcc may become more wrong and intolerable because
of this.
Warning: I have not checked the entire source for unsupported or
changed constructs, but generally belive that there are only a few.

At least year calculation was wrong, pointed by Bruce.
Use different strategy to store year for BIOS without RTC_CENTURY
was overlapping with another file, and making some undesirable behavior a
little worse - it's triggering a bug in config that appears to have been
there for some time (before the options files, anyway.)
Nobody in our regular source tree, or in the non-distfile part of the
ports tree does use /dev/io anyway, so this might be replaced by
another scenario some day.
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches. The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.
gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes. Does anyone
disagree?
gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header. This
hack will do until then. (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)
config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.
kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'. `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.

bcopy:
Be smarter about handling overlapped copies and only go backwards if it
is really necessary. Going backwards on a P6 is much slower than forwards
and it's a little slower on a P5. Also moved the count mask and 'std'
down a few lines - it's a couple percent faster this way on a P5.
libkern.a are now specified by listing their source files in

All the necessary object for each machine must be linked into the
kernel in case an lkm wants one.

wasteful, but better than clobbering the variables below the stack.
About 300 bytes of variables were clobbered when I examined double
faults using ddb. Perhaps a page that is known not to be accessed by
the double fault handler could be used. Such pages are not easy to
find, since the double fault handler calls panic() which calls sync()
and possibly dumpsys().
