* Change the calling convention of the device mmap entry point to
pass a vm_offset_t instead of an int for the offset allowing
devices with a larger memory map than (1<<32) to be supported
on the alpha (/dev/mem is one such).
These changes are required to allow the X server to mmap the various
I/O regions used for device port and memory access on the alpha.
o add fkey and fread
o eliminate fexists now that this can be expressed in HLL forth

Once we get the ability to write files, it should be possible to do
stand-alone rescue work from the 3rd stage boot. :)
we can recurse when loading dependencies and that the kstack is limited
to something like 6 or 7KB. Having a single dependency caused an instant
double panic, and I stronly suspect some of the other strange "events"
that I have seen are possibly as a result of taking a couple of interrupts
with a large chunk of the stack already in use.
While here, fix a minor logic hiccup in a sanity check.
file to a stream socket. sendfile(2) is similar to implementations in
HP-UX, Linux, and other systems, but the API is more extensive and
addresses many of the complaints that the Apache Group and others have
had with those other implementations. Thanks to Marc Slemko of the
Apache Group for helping me work out the best API for this.
Anyway, this has the "net" result of speeding up sends of files over
TCP/IP sockets by about 10X (that is to say, uses 1/10th of the CPU
cycles) when compared to a traditional read/write loop.
o Add fexists word to check for the presence of a file
o make fexists and fload immediate words which DTRT both interpreted
and compiled (doh!)
o add an init word which gets run at bootstrapping time to do extra
post-coldload initialization (in the default implementation, we
look for /boot/boot.4th and load it if found).
Also fix data types and printf formats while I'm here.

for in a loaded module of type "userconfig_script". The RB_CONFIG
flag will always result in the user being left inside userconfig at
the end of the script's execution, regardless of 'quit' commands in
the script. If the RB_CONFIG flag is not specified, the user will
never be left inside userconfig, even if the script does not have an
explicit exit command.
Add the INTRO_USERCONFIG option. This option forces the userconfig 'intro'
screen (after a script has optionally been executed). There is no longer
a need to queue an 'intro' command.
base register that controls Ultra-DMA, so we need to examine all possible

Also, looking at the source code to the BIOS, I see that they are also

this will allow us to manage bloat in the loader by using a bytecoded HLL
rather than lots of C code. It also offers an opportunity for vendors
or others with special applications to significantly customise the boot
process without having to commit to a divergent code branch.
This early commit is to allow others to experiment with the most effective
mechanisms for integrating FICL with the loader as it currently stands.

and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.
The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.
Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

Put in a dubious check for subdisk integrity when trying to bring

crying out for a rewrite of the whole state code.
Add code to set_plex_state and set_volume_state to defer updates when

the NFSv3 ACCESS RPC problems a little for busy clients that do a lot of
open/close. The nfs code could probably cache the results, but I'm not
sure whether this would be legal or useful. The problem is that with
a CPU farm, on each open there would be a lookup, getattr then access RPC
then the read/write RPC activity. Caching the access results probably
isn't going to help much if the clients access lots of files. Having the
nfs_access() routine interpret the getattr results is a bit of a hack, but
it's how NFSv2 is done and it might be OK for a mount attribute for v3.

and increase the tx interrupt threshold to 4. This fixes performance
problems on slower systems.
Also fix a mind-o in the rx ring init routine: I used the TX
constant instead of the RX. This isn't a problem as long as the
rings are the same size, but if they aren't hijinx will ensue.
* Embed the stack into the bss section for loader and netboot. This

sure that this is necessary to be a sync write here since a VOP_FSYNC()
follows and it will schedule, sort and complete the writes that the
vm_object_page_clean() started (as I think I understand things).
- Use TAILQ_* macros extensively instead of internal names
- use b_xflags instead of the NOLIST magic number hack in the next pointer
- clean bufs are inserted at the tail rather than the head.
- redo dirty buffer insert so that metadata (negative lbn) goes to the
tail directly rather than at the HEAD. This makes a difference when
inserting dirty data blocks in lbn sorted order since data block
insertion will not have to bypass all the metadata cruft. data is
lbn sorted since it makes sense for clustering and writeback ordering,
while metadata sorting doesn't help much since the lbn's are
meaningless when walking the list for writebacks.
Small systems will not notice much (if any) benefit from this, but really
busy systems with large dirty block lists should get a lot more.
I've tested this with softdep, and it doesn't seem to mind the change of
queueing of metadata.

Add a new flags field (we get this for free because of struct packing)
for cleaner management of tailq membership.
We had two spare b_flags slots, but they are a precious resource and may
be needed for other things that are related to other b_flags bits. The two
new flags are convenient to use in a seperate location.

While here, have vfs_msync() only call vm_object_page_clean() with
OBJPC_SYNC if called with MNT_WAIT flags. vfs_msync() is called at unmount

client programs are allowed to finish up (coda_call is

- dev != NODEV was checked for, but 0 was returned on failure. This was

doesn't actually occur under FreeBSD.
