send strhash(3) off to sleep with the fishes. Nothing in our tree uses it.
It has no documentation. It is nonstandard and in spite of the filename
strhash.c and strhash.h, it lives in application namespace by providing
compulsory global symbols hash_create()/hash_destroy()/hash_search()/
hash_traverse()/hash_purge()/hash_stats() regardless of whether you
#include <strhash.h> or not. If it turns out that there is a huge
application for this after all, I can repocopy it somewhere safer and
we can revive it elsewhere. But please, not in libc!
reset in a child process after a fork(). Currently, however, only the
real timer is cleared while the virtual and profiling timers are inherited.
The realtimer is cleared because it lives directly in struct proc in
p_realtimer. It is in the zero'd section of struct proc. The other timers
live in the p_timer[] array in struct pstats. These timers are copied on
fork() rather than zero'd. The fix is to move p_timer[] to the zero'd
part of struct pstats so that they are zero'd instead of copied on fork().
Note: Since at least FreeBSD 2.0 (and possibly earlier) we've had storage
for two real interval timers. Now that the uarea is less important,
perhaps we could move all of p_timer[] over to struct proc and drop the
p_realtimer special case to fix that.

the RNAT bit index constant. The net effect of this is that there's
no discontinuity WRT NaT collections which greatly simplifies certain
operations. The cost of this is that there can be up to 504 bytes of
unused stack between the true base of the kernel stack and the start
of the RSE backing store. The cost of adjusting the backing store
pointer to keep the RNAT bit index constant, for each kernel entry,
is negligible.
The primary reasons for this change are:
1. Asynchronuous contexts in KSE processes have the disadvantage of
having to copy the dirty registers from the kernel stack onto the
user stack. The implementation we had so far copied the registers
one at a time without calculating NaT collection values. A process
that used speculation would not work. Now that the RNAT bit index
is constant, we can block-copy the registers from the kernel stack
to the user stack without having to worry about NaT collections.
They will be in the right place on the user stack.
2. The ndirty field in the trapframe is now also usable in userland.
This was previously not the case because ndirty also includes the
space occupied by NaT collections. The value could be off by 8,
depending on the discontinuity. Now that the RNAT bit index is
contants, we have exactly the same number of NaT collection points
on the kernel stack as we would have had on the user stack if we
didn't switch backing stores.
3. Debuggers and other applications that use ptrace(2) can now copy
the dirty registers from the kernel stack (using ptrace(2)) and
copy them whereever they want them (onto the user stack of the
inferior as might be the case for gdb) without having to worry
about NaT collections in the same way the kernel doesn't have to
worry about them.
There's a second order effect caused by the randomization of the
base of the backing store, for it depends on the number of dirty
registers the processor happened to have at the time of entry into
the kernel. The second order effect is that the RSE will have a
better cache utilization as compared to having the backing store
always aligned at page boundaries. This has not been measured and
may be in practice only minimally beneficial, if at all measurable.

Remove my name as a copyright holder since I don't use a BSD license
compatible or comparable to the UCB license. I choose not to add a
complete second license for my work for aesthetic reasons, nor to
replace the UCB license on grounds of rewriting more than 90% of the
source files. The rewrite can also be seen as an enhancement and since
the files were practically empty, it's rather trivial to have changed
90% of the files.
the maximum number of pages for buffers) return -1 instead of 0.
This fixes a panic under conditions when many mbufs are needed.
Update the head pointer of the receive buffer pool queue even when
we could not supply a buffer to the chip. Otherwise the chip will
not re-interrupt us for another try. A better strategy would probably
be to remember this condition and to supply buffers without an interrupt
as soon as buffers get available.

- In sched_prio(), adjust the run queue for threads which may need to move
to the current queue due to priority propagation .
- In sched_switch(), fix style bug introduced when the KSE support went in.
Columns are 80 chars wide, not 90.
- In sched_switch(), Fix the comparison in the idle case and explicitly
re-initialize the runq in the not propagated case.
- Remove dead code in sched_clock().
- In sched_clock(), If we're an IDLE class td set NEEDRESCHED so that threads
that have become runnable will get a chance to.
- In sched_runnable(), if we're not the IDLETD, we should not consider
curthread when examining the load. This mimics the 4BSD behavior of
returning 0 when the only runnable thread is running.
- In sched_userret(), remove the code for setting NEEDRESCHED entirely.
This is not necessary and is not implemented in 4BSD.
- Use the correct comparison in sched_add() when checking to see if an idle
prio task has had it's priority temporarily elevated.
instead of retrying them blindly.
This should fix some of the problems people have been having with cdrom
drives taking a long time to probe. This should also eliminate the need
for the initial TUR in cdsize().
cam_periph.c: Don't keep retrying if the error we get back is a fatal
error. This should help us detect the transition from
"Logical unit not ready, cause not reportable" to "Medium
not present" in the "TUR many" handler. (The TUR many
handler gets triggered for Logical unit not ready, cause
not reportable errors.)
scsi_cd.c: Remove the initial test unit ready in cdsize(). Hopefully
it isn't necessary after the above change.

added for XFree86. There are 2 reasons for doing this with sysarch():
1. The memory mapped I/O space is not at a fixed physical address. An
application has to use some interface to get the base address. It
gets worse if the machine has multiple memory mapped I/O spaces.
2. Access to the memory mapped I/O space needs to happen through a
translation that is flagged as uncachable. There's no interface
that allows a process to do uncached memory I/O, other than though
/dev/mem (possibly).
So, until we either disallow direct access to I/O or bus space from
userland or have a better way of doing this, sysarch() has the least
negative impact on existing interfaces.
that are only in libc.so.5. This broke some 4.X applications linked
to libm and run under 5.X.
Background:
In C99, isinf() and isnan() cannot be implemented as regular
functions. We use macros that call libc functions in 5.X, but for
libm-internal use, we need to use the old versions until the next
time libm's major version number is bumped.
