This option has to be specified in addition to IPFIRWALL_FORWARD.
With this option even packets targeted for an IP address local
to the host can be redirected. All restrictions to ensure proper
behaviour for locally generated packets are turned off. Firewall

This driver implements "unaddressed listen only mode", which is what
printers and plotters commonly do on GP-IB busses.
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.

on UltraSPARC workstations. The driver is based on OpenBSD's SBus
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.

Users should move to the new geom_vinum implementation instead.
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
of the (old)-vinum code to comply with the new semantics.
The actual source files will not be removed until I have coordinated with
the geomvinum people if they need any bits repo-copied etc.

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

to sleep after a certain amount of spinning, but that will require quite a

FAT32 filesystems to be mounted, subject to some fairly serious limitations.
This works by extending the internal pseudo-inode-numbers generated from
the file's starting cluster number to 64-bits, then creating a table
mapping these into arbitrary 32-bit inode numbers, which can fit in
struct dirent's d_fileno and struct vattr's va_fileid fields. The mappings
do not persist across unmounts or reboots, so it's not possible to export
these filesystems through NFS. The mapping table may grow to be rather
large, and may grow large enough to exhaust kernel memory on filesystems
with millions of files.
Don't enable this option unless you understand the consequences.
than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

This class is used for detecting volume labels on file systems:
UFS, MSDOSFS (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and ISO9660.
It also provide native labelization (there is no need for file system).
g_label_ufs.c is based on geom_vol_ffs from Gordon Tetlow.
g_label_msdos.c and g_label_iso9660.c are probably hacks, I just found
where volume labels are stored and I use those offsets here,
but with this class it should be easy to do it as it should be done by
someone who know how.
Implementing volume labels detection for other file systems also should
be trivial.
New providers are created in those directories:
/dev/ufs/ (UFS1, UFS2)
/dev/msdosfs/ (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32)
/dev/iso9660/ (ISO9660)
/dev/label/ (native labels, configured with glabel(8))

- If a serial port is marked as a console, but console=vidconsole
and if the serial ports doesn't exist it will be probed and
attached at a 8250 chip. Then writes to that will freeze the
system.
- Add an option flags 0x400000 to mark this as a potential
comconsole in-case the one flaged with 0x10 does not exist
in the system.
This makes it easier to deploy on systems with one or two serial ports.
