access to POSIX Semaphores:
mac_init_posix_sem() Initialize label for POSIX semaphore
mac_create_posix_sem() Create POSIX semaphore
mac_destroy_posix_sem() Destroy POSIX semaphore
mac_check_posix_sem_destroy() Check whether semaphore may be destroyed
mac_check_posix_sem_getvalue() Check whether semaphore may be queried
mac_check_possix_sem_open() Check whether semaphore may be opened
mac_check_posix_sem_post() Check whether semaphore may be posted to
mac_check_posix_sem_unlink() Check whether semaphore may be unlinked
mac_check_posix_sem_wait() Check whether may wait on semaphore
Update Biba, MLS, Stub, and Test policies to implement these entry points.
For information flow policies, most semaphore operations are effectively
read/write.

a regular IPI vector, but this vector is blocked when interrupts are disabled.
With "options KDB_STOP_NMI" and debug.kdb.stop_cpus_with_nmi set, KDB will
send an NMI to each CPU instead. The code also has a context-stuffing
feature which helps ddb extract the state of processes running on the
stopped CPUs.
KDB_STOP_NMI is only useful with SMP and complains if SMP is not defined.
This feature only applies to i386 and amd64 at the moment, but could be
used on other architectures with the appropriate MD bits.

here on in, if_ndis.ko will be pre-built as a module, and can be built
into a static kernel (though it's not part of GENERIC). Drivers are
created using the new ndisgen(8) script, which uses ndiscvt(8) under
the covers, along with a few other tools. The result is a driver module
that can be kldloaded into the kernel.
A driver with foo.inf and foo.sys files will be converted into
foo_sys.ko (and foo_sys.o, for those who want/need to make static
kernels). This module contains all of the necessary info from the
.INF file and the driver binary image, converted into an ELF module.
You can kldload this module (or add it to /boot/loader.conf) to have
it loaded automatically. Any required firmware files can be bundled
into the module as well (or converted/loaded separately).
Also, add a workaround for a problem in NdisMSleep(). During system
bootstrap (cold == 1), msleep() always returns 0 without actually
sleeping. The Intel 2200BG driver uses NdisMSleep() to wait for
the NIC's firmware to come to life, and fails to load if NdisMSleep()
doesn't actually delay. As a workaround, if msleep() (and hence
ndis_thsuspend()) returns 0, use a hard DELAY() to sleep instead).
This is not really the right thing to do, but we can't really do much
else. At the very least, this makes the Intel driver happy.
There are probably other drivers that fail in this way during bootstrap.
Unfortunately, the only workaround for those is to avoid pre-loading
them and kldload them once the system is running instead.
o Remove the clock interface. Not only does it conflict with the MI
version when device genclock is added to the kernel, it was also
not possible to have more than 1 clock device. This of course would
have been a problem if we actually had more than 1 clock device.
In short: we don't need a clock interface and if we do eventually,
we should be using the MI one.
o Rewrite inittodr() and resettodr() to take into account that:
1) We use the EFI interface directly.
2) time_t is 64-bit and we do need to make sure we can determine
leap years from year 2100 and on. Add a nice explanation of
where leap years come from and why.
3) This rewrite happened in 2005 so any date prior to 1/1/2005
(either M/D/Y or D/M/Y) is bogus. Reprogram the EFI clock with
1/1/2005 in that case.
4) The EFI clock has a high probability of being correct, so
only (further) correct the EFI clock when the file system time
is larger. That should never happen in a time-synchronised world.
Complain when EFI lost 2 days or more.
Replace the copyright notice now that I (pretty much) rewrote all of
this file.
- Split core DRM routines back into their own module, rather than using the
nasty templated system like before.
- Development-class R300 support in radeon driver (requires userland pieces, of
course).
- Mach64 driver (haven't tested in a while -- my mach64s no longer fit in the
testbox). Covers Rage Pros, Rage Mobility P/M, Rage XL, and some others.
- i915 driver files, which just need to get drm_drv.c fixed to allow attachment
to the drmsub device. Covers i830 through i915 integrated graphics.
- savage driver files, which should require minimal changes to work. Covers the
Savage3D, Savage IX/MX, Savage 4, ProSavage.
- Support for color and texture tiling and HyperZ features of Radeon.

when using an APIC. This simplifies the APIC code somewhat and also allows
us to be pedantically more compliant with ACPI which mandates no use of
mixed mode.
Also, move the -I stuff to the centralized kern.pre.mk. However, it
might be better to add these flags to files.conf. This is a short
term fix to fix the broken builds on my machine (I don't have a valid
/sys link).
3ware's 9xxx series controllers. This corresponds to
the 9.2 release (for FreeBSD 5.2.1) on the 3ware website.
Highlights of this release are:
1. The driver has been re-architected to use a "Common Layer"
(all tw_cl* files), which is a consolidation of all OS-independent
parts of the driver. The FreeBSD OS specific portions of the
driver go into an "OS Layer" (all tw_osl* files).
This re-architecture is to achieve better maintainability, consistency
of behavior across OS's, and better portability to new OS's (drivers
for new OS's can be written by just adding an OS Layer that's specific
to the OS, by complying to a "Common Layer Programming Interface" API.
2. The driver takes advantage of multiple processors.
3. The driver has a new firmware image bundled, the new features of which
include Online Capacity Expansion and multi-lun support, among others.
More details about 3ware's 9.2 release can be found here:
http://www.3ware.com/download/Escalade9000Series/9.2/9.2_Release_Notes_Web.pdf
Since the Common Layer is used across OS's, the FreeBSD specific include
path for header files (/sys/dev/twa) is not part of the #include pre-processor
directive in any of the source files. For being able to integrate twa into
the kernel despite this, Makefile.<arch> has been changed to add the include
path to CFLAGS.

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).
