than rolling it's own. This means that it now uses the "safe"
exec_map_first_page() to get the ld.so headers rather than risking a panic
on a page fault failure (eg: NFS server goes down).
Since all the ELF tools go to a lot of trouble to make sure everything
lives in the first page for executables, this is a win. I have not seen
any ELF executable on any system where all the headers didn't fit in the
first page with lots of room to spare.
I have been running variations of this code for some time on my pure ELF
systems.
It does endeed work, but there is still some problems to solve.
I get a "nonrecovered data error" from time to time, but besides
this it has backed up several Gigs allready.
Please report any success/failure directly to me.
Thanks to Warner Losh for providing a drive to use in writing
this driver!
2) Do not unnecessarily force page blocking when paging
pages out.
3) Further improve swap pager performance and correctness,
including fixing the paging in progress deadlock (except
in severe I/O error conditions.)
4) Enable vfs_ioopt=1 as a default.
5) Fix and enable the page prezeroing in SMP mode.
All in all, SMP systems especially should show a significant
improvement in "snappyness."
it runs at a constant frequency. This was less of an issue before,
because the TSC only interpolated in the HZ intervals, but now where
the timecounter is used all the way, this becomes much more visible.
Nit: Fix a printf which triggered the bde-filter.
in a way identically as before.) I had problems with the system properly
handling the number of vnodes when there is alot of system memory, and the
default VM_KMEM_SIZE. Two new options "VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE" and
"VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX" have been added to support better auto-sizing for systems
with greater than 128MB.
Add some accouting for vm_zone memory allocations, and provide properly
for vm_zone allocations out of the kmem_map. Also move the vm_zone
allocation stats to the VM OID tree from the KERN OID tree.
signals delivered to a process writing to the audio device the
system: if you try
cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp (or cat /dev/zero > /dev/pcaudio)
and press Ctrl-C : for a second or two the system appears to freeze
(e.g. the cursor will disappear if you move the mouse, xclock
blocks, etc.). I think that interrupts etc. still run so the problem
is not too terrible, but still annoying
[ The problems appears to also be in isa/pcaudio.c, though that is ignored ]

Highlights:
* Simple model for underlying hardware.
* Hardware basis for timekeeping can be changed on the fly.
* Only one hardware clock responsible for TOD keeping.
* Provides a real nanotime() function.
* Time granularity: .232E-18 seconds.
* Frequency granularity: .238E-12 s/s
* Frequency adjustment is continuous in time.
* Less overhead for frequency adjustment.
* Improves xntpd performance.

Uncommented css0. It compiles OK.
Moved trix0 so that it compiles OK when uncommented. Uncommented
it. Drivers with the same interrupt handler must be together in
config files so that config(8)'s simple avoidance of redundant
declarations of interrupt handlers works (config emits a declaration
unless it would duplicate the previous one).
Commented out NO_LKM. Negative options should not be configured
in LINT. There should be no negative options for subsystems.
LKMs should never have been standard or the default.
select/poll and DEVFS changes, which are limited to an include/define
in sound.h and the actual select/poll implementation in sound.c
[ This commit is blind, but the code is similar enough that there will
hopefully be no problems. ]
