- provide an interface (macros) to the page coloring part of the VM system,
this allows to try different coloring algorithms without the need to
touch every file [1]
- make the page queue tuning values readable: sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue
- autotuning of the page coloring values based upon the cache size instead
of options in the kernel config (disabling of the page coloring as a
kernel option is still possible)
MD changes:
- detection of the cache size: only IA32 and AMD64 (untested) contains
cache size detection code, every other arch just comes with a dummy
function (this results in the use of default values like it was the
case without the autotuning of the page coloring)
- print some more info on Intel CPU's (like we do on AMD and Transmeta
CPU's)
Note to AMD owners (IA32 and AMD64): please run "sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue"
and report if the cache* values are zero (= bug in the cache detection code)
or not.

This means that you can capture print/plot like output from your
instruments by configuring them as necessary (good luck!) and
cat -u /dev/gpib0l > /tmp/somefile
Since there is no way to know when no more output is comming you
will have to ctrl-C the cat process when it is done (that is why
the -u is important).
designed to help detect tamper-after-free scenarios, a problem more
and more common and likely with multithreaded kernels where race
conditions are more prevalent.
Currently MemGuard can only take over malloc()/realloc()/free() for
particular (a) malloc type(s) and the code brought in with this
change manually instruments it to take over M_SUBPROC allocations
as an example. If you are planning to use it, for now you must:
1) Put "options DEBUG_MEMGUARD" in your kernel config.
2) Edit src/sys/kern/kern_malloc.c manually, look for
"XXX CHANGEME" and replace the M_SUBPROC comparison with
the appropriate malloc type (this might require additional
but small/simple code modification if, say, the malloc type
is declared out of scope).
3) Build and install your kernel. Tune vm.memguard_divisor
boot-time tunable which is used to scale how much of kmem_map
you want to allott for MemGuard's use. The default is 10,
so kmem_size/10.
ToDo:
1) Bring in a memguard(9) man page.
2) Better instrumentation (e.g., boot-time) of MemGuard taking
over malloc types.
3) Teach UMA about MemGuard to allow MemGuard to override zone
allocations too.
4) Improve MemGuard if necessary.

cs4231 driver and heavily modified to incorporate into sound(4)
infrastructure. Due to the lack of APCDMA documentation, the DMA
code of SBus cs4231 came from OpenBSD's driver.
The driver runs without Giant lock and supports both SBus and EBus
based CS4231 audio controller. Special thanks to marius for providing
feedbacks during the driver writing. His feedback made it possible
to write hiccup free playback code under high system loads.

The refcount logic which is being added to devices to enable safe module
unloading and the buf/vm work also in progress would require a major rework

thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.
If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.

1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
or random IP ID.
2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id
3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
be smaller performance concerns.
The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).

behind non-adaptive Giant is that Giant will be held for long periods

in MySQL benchmarks which are relatively Giant-free, running Giant
adaptive makes an observable difference on SMP (5% transaction rate
improvement). As such, make adaptive behavior on Giant an option so
it can be more widely benchmarked.
