p_vmspace is initialized for the new process. Since pmap_growkernel

subsequent use causes a failure.
The fix is (1) to clear p_vmspace early, to stop pmap_growkernel

Except those applications that access hidden signal handler arguments

Also except application that use 'struct sigframe' directly. You need

Programs that use the old FreeBSD-style three arguments are easy to
change to SA_SIGINFO (although they don't need to, since the old style
will still work):
Old args to signal handler:
void handler_sn(int sig, int code, struct sigcontext *scp)
New args:
void handler_si(int sig, siginfo_t *si, void *third)
where:
old:code == new:second->si_code
old:scp == &(new:si->si_scp) /* Passed by value! */
The latter is also pointed to by new:third, but accessing via
si->si_scp is preferred because it is type-save.
FreeBSD implementation notes:
- This is just the framework to make the interface POSIX compatible.
For now, no additional functionality is provided. This is supposed
to happen now, starting with floating point values.
- We don't use 'sigcontext_t.si_value' for now (POSIX meant it for
realtime-related values).
- Documentation will be updated when new functionality is added and
the exact arguments passed are determined. The comments in
sys/signal.h are meant to be useful.

QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN,
QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA. With this patch clean
and dirty buffers have been separated. Empty buffers with KVM
assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers. getnewbuf()
has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion. That is,
it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to
allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer
when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for
the buffer cache).
Buffer flushing has been reorganized. Previously buffers were flushed
in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer
flushing to occur. This resulted in processes blocking on conditions
unrelated to what they were doing. This also resulted in inappropriate
VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to
flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation
where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that
was only partially fixed in prior commits. We have added a new daemon
called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers
when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit.
This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers
are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block.
The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the
8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of
memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed
somewhat. The number of physical buffers has been increased with the
intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future.
reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which
could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions,
such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed. This
algorithm has been changed. reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted
if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to
the head of the dirtyblkhd list. The new algorithm is deterministic but
not perfect. The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously
occured when write_behind was turned off in the system.
The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive
P_BUFEXHAUST bit. This bit allows processes working with filesystem
buffers to use available emergency reserves. Normal processes do not set
this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves. The purpose
of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
unp_internalize() takes a reference to the descriptor. If the send
fails after unp_internalize(), the control mbuf would be freed ophaning
the reference.

* Allow the interface to specify a default implementation for methods.
* Allow 'static' methods which are not device specific.
* Add a simple scheme for probe routines to return a priority value. To
make life simple, priority values are negative numbers (positive numbers
are standard errno codes) with zero being the highest priority. The
driver which returns the highest priority will be chosen for the device.

particularly annoying hack, namely having the linker bash the moduledata
to set the container pointer, preventing it being const. In the process,
a stack of warnings were fixed and will probably allow a revisit of the
const C_SYSINIT() changes. This explicitly registers modules in files or
preload areas with the module system first, and let them initialize via
SYSINIT/DECLARE_MODULE later in their SI_ORDER_xxx order. The kludge of
finding the containing file is no longer needed since the registration
of modules onto the modules list is done in the context of initializing
the linker file.
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.
Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)
function.
Join CDEV_MODULE and BDEV_MODULE to DEV_MODULE (please pay attention
to the order of the cmaj/bmaj arguments!)
Join CDEV_DRIVER_MODULE and BDEV_DRIVER_MODULE to DEV_DRIVER_MODULE

(Next step will be to convert all bdev dev_t's to cdev dev_t's
before they get to do any damage^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork in the kernel.)

Renaming of many assembler labels is avoided by declaring by declaring
the labels that need to be visible to gprof as having type "function"
and depending on the elf version of gprof being zealous about discarding
the others. A few type declarations are still missing, mainly for SMP.

INIT_PATH config option.
Also fix two bugs which caused an infinite loop in none of the programs
in the init_path were found. That code was obviously not tested!
piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

Perl has some very nasty circular dependancies, and I am trying to
get the System Perl upgraded by one maintenance level.
The basic rule, until I can find a way to solve this, is that
the build tools MAY NOT use any library code; it must all be inline.

Hook up the i686 MP code to do this for each AP.
Be more careful about printing the default memory type for the i686.

This patch also moves the bogus comment (the comment is still not quite
right) and (as a side effect) removes some verbose initialisations (we
depend on static initialisation to 0 for almost everything in proc0).
The alpha kernels are bootable again. The change won't affect i386's
until machdep.c is changed.

In heavy-writing situations, QUEUE_LRU can contain a large number
of DELWRI buffers at its head. These buffers must be moved
to the tail if they cannot be written async in order to reduce
the scanning time required to skip past these buffers in later
getnewbuf() calls.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.
