hash table size from 256 to 1024.
Generate output that looks more like the SunOS mknetid: uses a space
instead of tabs for white space.
Fix typo in comment in hash.h: Groupit -> Groupid.
was due to non-aligned 64K transfers taking 17 pages. We currently
do not support >16 page transfers. The transfer is unfortunately truncated,
but since buffers are usually malloced, this is a problem only once in
a while. Savecore is a culprit, but tar/cpio usually aren't. This
is NOT the final fix (which is likely a bouncing scheme), but will at
least keep the system from crashing.
Re-enables the RSS limiting, and the routine is now tail-recursive,
making it much more safe (eliminates the possiblity of kernel stack
overflow.) Also, the RSS limiting is a little more intelligent about
finding the likely objects that are pushing the process over the limit.
Added some sysctls that help with VM system tuning.
New sysctl features:
1) Enable/disable lru pageout algorithm.
vm.pageout_algorithm = 0, default algorithm that works
well, especially using X windows and heavy
memory loading. Can have adverse effects,
sometimes slowing down program loading.
vm.pageout_algorithm = 1, close to true LRU. Works much
better than clock, etc. Does not work as well as
the default algorithm in general. Certain memory
"malloc" type benchmarks work a little better with
this setting.
Please give me feedback on the performance results
associated with these.
2) Enable/disable swapping.
vm.swapping_enabled = 1, default.
vm.swapping_enabled = 0, useful for cases where swapping
degrades performance.
The config option "NO_SWAPPING" is still operative, and
takes precedence over the sysctl. If "NO_SWAPPING" is
specified, the sysctl still exists, but "vm.swapping_enabled"
is hard-wired to "0".
Each of these can be changed "on the fly."
the Himalayas and become a hermit.)
Import new mknetid program. This replaces the crufty, soon to be defunct
mknetid script packaged with ypserv.
This program parses the group, passwd, hosts and netid databases into
the netid.byname map. Duplicate checking is performed using hash tables.
Testing on my 486DX2/66 with FreeBSD 2.1.0 showed that this program can
process a 30,000-entry passwd database into a netid map (along with
assorted group and hosts information) in about 22 seconds. On my SPARC IPX
with SunOS 4.1.3, it takes about 15 seconds. This compares favorably with
the SunOS mknetid program, which parses the same database(s) in 13 seconds.
(With smaller databases, my program is actually slightly faster. Go
figure.)
too late to be used in all cases. It should probably be created (early)
in bsd.kmod.mk for all LKMs.
Use cc instead of cpp | as for the same reasons as in the kernel makefile.
CFLAGS isn't split up as well as in the kernel makefile, but cc doesn't
pass compiler warning flags to cpp, so there is no need to split it.
Fixed profiling of system times. It was pre-4.4Lite and didn't support
statclocks. System times were too small by a factor of 8.
Handle deferred profiling ticks the 4.4Lite way: use addupc_task() instead
of addupc(). Call addupc_task() directly instead of using the ADDUPC()
macro.
Removed vestigial support for PROFTIMER.
switch.s:
Removed addupc().
resourcevar.h:
Removed ADDUPC() and declarations of addupc().
cpu.h:
Updated a comment. i386's never were tahoe's, and the deferred profiling
tick became (possibly) multiple ticks in 4.4Lite.
Obtained from: mostly from NetBSD
multiplication in addupc() overflowed for addresses >= 256K, assuming
the usual profil(2) scale parameter of 0x8000. addupc() will go away
soon.

aren't silently converted to minbrk. This stops malloc(INT_MAX) from
dumping core. Small values are still silently converted. They should
be an error. sbrk() doesn't do any range checking or conversions or
overflow checking.
Moved PIC_EPILOGUE invocation to a more natural place where it
obviously doesn't interfere with the comparison.
via an ioctl (MOUSE_ACTION).
Fixed a couple of bugs (destructive cursor, uncut, jitter).
Now applications can use the mouse via the MOUSE_MODE ioctl, its
possible to have a signal sent on mouseevents, makeing an event loop
in the application take over mouseevents.
