- Use word-sized test for unaligned pointer before working
the hard way.
Memory page boundary is always integral multiple of a word
alignment boundary. Therefore, if we can access memory
referenced by pointer p, then (p & ~word mask) must be also
accessible.
- Better utilization of multi-issue processor's ability of
concurrency.
The previous implementation utilized a formular that must be
executed sequentially. However, the ~, & and - operations can
actually be caculated at the same time when the operand were
different and unrelated.
The original Hacker's Delight formular also offered consistent
performance regardless whether the input would contain
characters with their highest-bit set, as it catches real
nul characters only.
These two optimizations has shown further improvements over the
previous implementation on microbenchmarks on i386 and amd64 CPU
including Pentium 4, Core Duo 2 and i7.

operands but not for double and extended double ones. Instead of trying
to fix the macro just nuke it and unroll the loops in the correct way
though as extended double operands turn out to be the only special case.
- For FxTO{s,d,q} the source operand is int64 so rs2 has to be re-decoded
after setting type accordingly as it's generally decoded using the low
2 bits as the type, which are 0 for these three instructions.
- Similarly, in case of F{s,d,q}TOx the target is int64 so rd has to be
re-decoded using not only the operand mask appropriate for int64 but
also the correct register number encoding.
- Use const where appropriate.

A new API, kvm_dpcpu_setcpu(3), selects the active CPU for the purposes
of DPCPU. Calls to kvm_nlist(3) will automatically translate DPCPU
symbols and return a pointer to the current CPU's version of the data.
Consumers needing to read the same symbol on several CPUs will invoke a
series of setcpu/nlist calls, one per CPU of interest.
This addition makes it possible for tools like netstat(1) to query the
values of DPCPU variables during crashdump analysis, and is based on
similar code handling virtualized global variables.

Empty string test gone wrong.
Testing this requires that you have a locale that has the sign string
unset but has int_n_sign_posn set (the default locale falls through to
use "()" around negative numbers which is probably another bug).
I created that setup by hand and indeed without this fix negative
numbers are put out as positive numbers (doesn't fall through to use
"-" as default indicator).
Unfixed example in nl_NL.ISO8859-1 with lc->negative_sign set to empty
string:
strfmon(buf, sizeof(buf), "%-8i", -42.0);

Fixed:
example2: 'EUR 42,00-' 'Eu 42,00-'
This file and suggested fix are identical in at least freebsd-8.
Backport might be appropriate but some expert on locales should
probably have a look at us defaulting to negative numbers in
parenthesis when LC_* is default. That doesn't look right and is not
what other OSes are doing.

* Fix a race in chunk_dealloc_dss().
* Check for allocation failure before zeroing memory in base_calloc().
Merge enhancements from a divergent version of jemalloc:
* Convert thread-specific caching from magazines to an algorithm that is
more tunable, and implement incremental GC.
* Add support for medium size classes, [4KiB..32KiB], 2KiB apart by
default.
* Add dirty page tracking for pages within active small/medium object
runs. This allows malloc to track precisely which pages are in active
use, which makes dirty page purging more effective.
* Base maximum dirty page count on proportion of active memory.
* Use optional zeroing in arena_chunk_alloc() to avoid needless zeroing
of chunks. This is useful in the context of DSS allocation, since a
long-lived application may commonly recycle chunks.
* Increase the default chunk size from 1MiB to 4MiB.

* Remove the dynamic rebalancing code, since thread caching reduces its
utility.

This first commit brings 3 functions for enumerating, retrieving,
adding, removing and modifying EFI variables. The immediate use of these
include the insertion of a new boot option as part of the installation
process.
This library uses ioctl(2) requests implemented by io(4) to pass the
requests down through the kernel to EFI. These ioctl requests are only
implemented on ia64, so libefi is currently only enabled on ia64. The
interface is generic and io(4) on mad64/i386 can easily be taught to
handle these once EFI support has been added to the kernel there.
When we had utmp(5), we had to list all the psuedo-terminals in ttys(5)
to make ttyslot(3) function properly. Now that pututxline(3) deals with
slot allocation internally (not based on TTY names), we don't need to
list all the TTYs on the system in ttys(5) to make user accounting work
properly.
This patch removes all the entries from the /etc/ttys files, but also
the pts(4) entries that were appended implicitly, which was added in
r154838.

Continuous catopen() calls cause 4 failig stat(2) each, which means a lot
of overhead. It is also a good idea to keep the opened catalogs in the memory
to speed up further catopen() calls to the same catalog since these catalogs
are not big at all. In this case, we count references and only free() the
allocated space when the reference count reaches 0. The reads and writes to
the cache are syncronized with an rwlock when these functions are called from
a threaded program.

I've noticed many applications do a bad job at timekeeping, for several
reasons:
- Applications like screen(1) don't update time records when restoring
the old user login record.
- Many applications only set ut_tv.tv_sec, not ut_tv.tv_usec.
This causes many problems for tools such as ac(8), which require the
timestamps to be properly ordered. This is why I've decided to let the
utmpx code obtain valid timestamps itself.
Instead of trying to reference-count them and free them as soon
as they are no longer needed, we now just keep them around and free
them all when we release the archive object. This fixes a number
of minor memory leaks, especially when reading damaged archives.
I've discussed this issue with the Austin Group and it will be fixed in
future revisions of the specification. The issue was that ut_line fields
weren't supposed to be valid for LOGIN_PROCESS entries, while
getutxline() would try to match these records anyway.
They also agreed on our way of implementing pututxline() without
getutxid() (which other operating systems also do), but unfortunately
they disagreed with our way of replacing DEAD_PROCESS entries, which is
a pity. The current specification allows the utmpx database to become
infinitely big over time.

libulog now only provides functions that are used by various packages
from the ports tree, namely the libutempter ones. There is no reason to
link it into the crunch/fixit binaries anymore.
It makes hardly any sense to expose a symbol which should only be
provided for binary compatibility, but it seems we don't have a lot of
choice here. There are many autoconf scripts out there that try to
create a binary that links against the old symbol to see whether
uname(3) is present. These scripts fail to detect uname(3) now.
It should be noted that the behaviour we implement is not against the
standards:

POSIX 2008 and XSI 7require strcoll() for opendir() is not true.

So, back out that part of my commit, returning old strcmp(), and remove
this misleading comment.
By using random values for ut_id, not based on the TTY name, it is
possible to run for example login(1) multiple times on the same TTY,
without overwriting any previous records.
The output of w(1) will then be as follows:

It also matches now how our 'ls' works for years.
b) Remove comment expressed 2 fears:
1) One just simple describe how strcoll() works in _any_ context,
not for directories only. Are we plan to remove strcoll() from everything
just because it is little more complex than strcmp()? I doubt, and
directories give nothing different here. Moreover, strcoll() used
in 'ls' for years and nobody complaints yet.
2) Plain wrong statement about undefined strcoll() behaviour. strcoll()
always gives predictable results, falling back to strcmp() on any
trouble, see strcoll(3).
No objections from -current list discussion.
- Massively reduce BSS usage. Let futx_to_utx() dynamically allocate the
structure. There is only a very small amount of applications out there
that needs to use the utmpx database. Wasting 1 KB on unused
structures makes little sense.
- Just let getutxid() search for matching ut_id's for any *PROCESS-type.
This makes the code a bit more future-proof.
- Fix a POSIX-mistake: when reading POSIX and the OpenSolaris
implementation, getutxline() must return USER_PROCESS and
LOGIN_PROCESS records whose ut_lines match. When reading POSIX, it
seems LOGIN_PROCESS should not use ut_line at the first place. I have
reported this issue.
I changed login_tty() to only work when the application is not a session
leader yet. This works fine for applications in the base system, but it
turns out various applications call this function after daemonizing,
which means they already use their own session.
If setsid() fails, just call tcsetsid() on the current session.
tcsetsid() will already perform proper security checks.

After comparing how other systems deal with utmp/utmpx, I noticed many
systems don't even care about ttyslot(3) anymore, since utmpx doesn't
use TTY slots anyway. We don't provide any tools to access old utmp
files anymore, so there is no use in letting applications write to a
proper offset within the utmp file.
Just let ttyslot(3) always return 0, which seems to be the default
behaviour on operating systems like Linux as well.
Nowadays uname(3) is an inline function around __xuname(3). Prevent
linkage of new binaries against this compatibility function, similar to
what I did with ttyslot(3).
This utility allows users to convert their wtmp databases to the new
format. It makes no sense for users to keep their wtmp log files if they
are unable to view them.
It basically copies ut_line into ut_id as well. This makes it possible
for last(1) and ac(8) to match login records with their corresponding
logout record.
I forgot to cast the size_t's back to off_t before negating them,
causing all sorts of artifacts where the log files would grow to 2^32 -
197 bytes.
