after the additions made for the new statfs structure (version
1.157). These must be updated in a separate checkin after
syscalls.master has been checked in so that they reflect its
new CVS identity. As these are purely derived files, it is not
clear to me why they are under CVS at all. I presume that it has
something to do with having `make world' operate properly.
accurate reporting of multi-terabyte filesystem sizes.
You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'
as the new kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs
structure, but an old kernel will not know about the new system
calls that support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel
after a `make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a
statfs system call to fail with a bad system call.

in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a
(struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using
a UMA zone (mac_label.c). This allows the size and shape of struct
label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel
objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE. This opens
the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence
changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies
at boot-time instead of compile-time. This also makes it easier to
embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching
with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures.
This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the
structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention
dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the
MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability.
While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it
will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data
structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable)
performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory
conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory.
NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a
result of this change. Because this is an API change, third party
MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&'
symbol.

vfs_mount_alloc/vfs_mount_destroy functions and take care to completely
destroy the mount point along with its locks. Mount struct has grown in
coplexity recently and depending on each failure path to destroy it
completely isn't working anymore.
2. Eliminate largely identical vfs_mount and vfs_unmount question by
moving the code to handle both cases into a newly introduced vfs_domount
function.
3. Simplify nfs_mount_diskless to always expect an allocated mount
struct and never attempt an allocation/destruction itself. The
vfs_allocroot allocation was there to support 'magic' swap space
configuration for diskless clients that was already removed by PHK some
time ago.
4. Include a vfs_buildopts cleanups by Peter Edwards to validate the
sanity of nmount parameters passed from userland.

important change is in cpu_switch() where we disable the high FP
registers for the thread that we switch-out if the CPU currently
has its high FP registers. This avoids that the high FP registers
remain enabled for the thread even when the CPU has unloaded them
or the thread migrated to another processor.
Likewise, when we switch-in a thread of that has its high FP
registers on the CPU, we enable them. This avoids an otherwise
harmless, but unnecessary trap to have them enabled.
The code that handles the disabled high FP trap (in trap()) has
been turned into a critical section for the most part to avoid
being preempted. If there's a race, we bail out and have the
processor trap again if necessary.
Avoid using the generic ia64_highfp_save() function when the
context is predictable. The function adds unnecessary overhead.
Don't use ia64_highfp_load() for the same reason. The function
is now unused and can be removed.
These changes make the lazy context switching of the high FP
registers in an UP kernel functional.
turnstiles to implement blocking isntead of implementing a thread queue
directly. These turnstiles are somewhat similar to those used in Solaris 7
as described in Solaris Internals but are also different.
Turnstiles do not come out of a fixed-sized pool. Rather, each thread is
assigned a turnstile when it is created that it frees when it is destroyed.
When a thread blocks on a lock, it donates its turnstile to that lock to
serve as queue of blocked threads. The queue associated with a given lock
is found by a lookup in a simple hash table. The turnstile itself is
protected by a lock associated with its entry in the hash table. This
means that sched_lock is no longer needed to contest on a mutex. Instead,
sched_lock is only used when manipulating run queues or thread priorities.
Turnstiles also implement priority propagation inherently.
Currently turnstiles only support mutexes. Eventually, however, turnstiles
may grow two queue's to support a non-sleepable reader/writer lock
implementation. For more details, see the comments in sys/turnstile.h and
kern/subr_turnstile.c.
The two primary advantages from the turnstile code include: 1) the size
of struct mutex shrinks by four pointers as it no longer stores the
thread queue linkages directly, and 2) less contention on sched_lock in
SMP systems including the ability for multiple CPUs to contend on different
locks simultaneously (not that this last detail is necessarily that much of
a big win). Note that 1) means that this commit is a kernel ABI breaker,
so don't mix old modules with a new kernel and vice versa.

interrupt such as IRQ 22 or 19. However, the ACPI BIOS still routes
interrupts from some PCI devices to the same intpin calling the pin
IRQ 22. Thus, ACPI expects to address a single interrupt source via two
different names. To work around this, if the SCI is remapped to a non-ISA
interrupt (i.e., greater than 15), then we use
acpi_OverrideInterruptLevel() function to tell ACPI to use IRQ 22 or 19
rather than IRQ 9 for the SCI.
Previously we would change IRQ 22 or 19's name to IRQ 9 when we encountered
such an Interrupt Source Override entry in the MADT which routed the SCI
properly but left PCI devices mapped to IRQ 22 or 19 w/o a routable
interrupt.

enumerating CPUs using the ACPI MADT, any HTT machine using ACPI should
respect the BIOS setting. For HTT machines with ACPI disabled in the
kernel, the MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT kernel option can be used to try to probe HTT
CPUs like have done in the past for the MP Table case. This option should
only be enabled if HTT is enabled in the BIOS.
