-----------------------------
The core of the signalling code has been rewritten to operate
on the new sigset_t. No methodological changes have been made.
Most references to a sigset_t object are through macros (see
signalvar.h) to create a level of abstraction and to provide
a basis for further improvements.
The NSIG constant has not been changed to reflect the maximum
number of signals possible. The reason is that it breaks
programs (especially shells) which assume that all signals
have a non-null name in sys_signame. See src/bin/sh/trap.c
for an example. Instead _SIG_MAXSIG has been introduced to
hold the maximum signal possible with the new sigset_t.
struct sigprop has been moved from signalvar.h to kern_sig.c
because a) it is only used there, and b) access must be done
though function sigprop(). The latter because the table doesn't
holds properties for all signals, but only for the first NSIG
signals.
signal.h has been reorganized to make reading easier and to
add the new and/or modified structures. The "old" structures
are moved to signalvar.h to prevent namespace polution.
Especially the coda filesystem suffers from the change, because
it contained lines like (p->p_sigmask == SIGIO), which is easy
to do for integral types, but not for compound types.
NOTE: kdump (and port linux_kdump) must be recompiled.
Thanks to Garrett Wollman and Daniel Eischen for pressing the
importance of changing sigreturn as well.

Rename checkalias2() and checkalias() to addalias() and

Make the revoke syscalls use vcount() instead of VALIASED.
Remove VALIASED flag, we don't need it now and it is faster
to traverse the much shorter lists than to maintain the
flag.

have been maintained, and that is still the default. A new sysctl
variable "vfs.timestamp_precision" can be used to enable higher
levels of precision:
0 = seconds only; nanoseconds zeroed (default).
1 = seconds and nanoseconds, accurate within 1/HZ.
2 = seconds and nanoseconds, truncated to microseconds.
>=3 = seconds and nanoseconds, maximum precision.
Level 1 uses getnanotime(), which is fast but can be wrong by up
to 1/HZ. Level 2 uses microtime(). It might be desirable for
consistency with utimes() and friends, which take timeval structures
rather than timespecs. Level 3 uses nanotime() for the higest
precision.
I benchmarked levels 0, 1, and 3 by copying a 550 MB tree with
"cpio -pdu". There was almost negligible difference in the system
times -- much less than 1%, and less than the variation among
multiple runs at the same level. Bruce Evans dreamed up a torture
test involving 1-byte reads with intervening fstat() calls, but
the cpio test seems more realistic to me.
This feature is currently implemented only for the UFS (FFS and
MFS) filesystems. But I think it should be easy to support it in
the others as well.
An earlier version of this was reviewed by Bruce. He's not to
blame for any breakage I've introduced since then.

vnodes referencing this device.
Details:
cdevsw->d_parms has been removed, the specinfo is available
now (== dev_t) and the driver should modify it directly
when applicable, and the only driver doing so, does so:
vn.c. I am not sure the logic in checking for "<" was right
before, and it looks even less so now.
An intial pool of 50 struct specinfo are depleted during
early boot, after that malloc had better work. It is
likely that fewer than 50 would do.
Hashing is done from udev_t to dev_t with a prime number
remainder hash, experiments show no better hash available
for decent cost (MD5 is only marginally better) The prime
number used should not be close to a power of two, we use
83 for now.
Add new checkalias2() to get around the loss of info from
dev2udev() in bdevvp();
The aliased vnodes are hung on a list straight of the dev_t,
and speclisth[SPECSZ] is unused. The sharing of struct
specinfo means that the v_specnext moves into the vnode
which grows by 4 bytes.
Don't use a VBLK dev_t which doesn't make sense in MFS, now
we hang a dummy cdevsw on B/Cmaj 253 so that things look sane.
Storage overhead from all of this is O(50k).
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400009
The next step will add the stuff needed so device-drivers can start to
hang things from struct specinfo
been set for a mount point. Insert missing checks to ensure that all
write operations are done asynchronously when the MNT_ASYNC option
has been requested.

on a 32MB system without bring the machine to a grinding halt.
* buffer cache hash table now dynamically allocated. This will
have no effect on memory consumption for smaller systems and
will help scale the buffer cache for larger systems.
* minor enhancement to pmap_clearbit(). I noticed that
all the calls to it used constant arguments. Making
it an inline allows the constants to propogate to
deeper inlines and should produce better code.
* removal of inherent vfs_ioopt support through the emplacement
of appropriate #ifdef's, with John's permission. If we do not
find a use for it by the end of the year we will remove it entirely.
* removal of getnewbufloops* counters & sysctl's - no longer
necessary for debugging, getnewbuf() is now optimal.
* buffer hash table functions removed from sys/buf.h and localized
to vfs_bio.c
* VFS_BIO_NEED_DIRTYFLUSH flag and support code added
( bwillwrite() ), allowing processes to block when too many dirty
buffers are present in the system.
* removal of a softdep test in bdwrite() that is no longer necessary
now that bdwrite() no longer attempts to flush dirty buffers.
* slight optimization added to bqrelse() - there is no reason
to test for available buffer space on B_DELWRI buffers.
* addition of reverse-scanning code to vfs_bio_awrite().
vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas
in both the forward and reverse direction relative to the
offset of the buffer passed to it. This will probably not
make much of a difference now, but I believe we will start
to rely on it heavily in the future if we decide to shift
some of the burden of the clustering closer to the actual
I/O initiation.
* Removal of the newbufcnt and lastnewbuf counters that Kirk
added. They do not fix any race conditions that haven't already
been fixed by the gbincore() test done after the only call
to getnewbuf(). getnewbuf() is a static, so there is no chance
of it being misused by other modules. ( Unless Kirk can think
of a specific thing that this code fixes. I went through it
very carefully and didn't see anything ).
* removal of VOP_ISLOCKED() check in flushbufqueues(). I do not
think this check is necessary, the buffer should flush properly
whether the vnode is locked or not. ( yes? ).
* removal of extra arguments passed to getnewbuf() that are not
necessary.
* missed cluster_wbuild() that had to be a cluster_wbuild_wb() in
vfs_cluster.c
* vn_write() now calls bwillwrite() *PRIOR* to locking the vnode,
which should greatly aid flushing operations in heavy load
situations - both the pageout and update daemons will be able
to operate more efficiently.
* removal of b_usecount. We may add it back in later but for now
it is useless. Prior implementations of the buffer cache never
had enough buffers for it to be useful, and current implementations
which make more buffers available might not benefit relative to
the amount of sophistication required to implement a b_usecount.
Straight LRU should work just as well, especially when most things
are VMIO backed. I expect that (even though John will not like
this assumption) directories will become VMIO backed some point soon.

udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
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).
