43e4c0c1fa stand alone (kinda) floppy generation..
you still need tohave done a make world and have made 'sysinstall'
this should not interfere with existing code as it's standalone.
write_mfs_in_kernel.c is duplicated alsewhere.. one will go ..

ed48f831e0 To quote Stephen McKay: pmap_copy is a complex NOP at this moment :-).
With this fix from Stephen, we are getting the target fork performance
that I have been trying to attain: P5-166, before the mega-commit: 700-800usecs,
after: 600usecs, with Stephen's fix: 500usecs!!!  Also, this could be the
solution of some strange panic problems...

14bf02f8f4 Minor performance improvement to kern_malloc.c that increases the
probability of reuse of recently freed memory.  This improves cache

9957f86096 Removed SIOCSETRTINFO, SIOCGETRTINFO, and SIOCGETVIFINF ioctl's, which
snuck in accidentally from the DARTNet kernel.  SIOC*RTINFO were an
extended interface to the stock routing table and SIOCGETVIFINF was
an interface for rsvpd to ask the kernel for the list of multicast vif's.

0c9dbb91c3 Fixed *annoying* error with the weekly files. Do you get these whenver
/etc/weekly is run?

Rebuilding locate database: stty: stdin isn't a terminal TERM: Undefined
variable.

'su' apparently runs in root's environment before doing a seteuid(), so
it reads root's .cshrc.  The problem lies in the fact that $prompt is
*always* set by the time the command is executed, so you can't protect
your interactive commands from the non-interactive commands by the
normal:

if ($?prompt) then
   # interactive stuff here
endif

Set the -f flag (su -fm) which causes it not to read root's .cshrc file,
since there should be no reason to do so for these scripts since
/etc/crontab sets up all of the necessary environment.

8408422768 Add support for NE2000 compatible PCI Ethernet cards. The PCI probe
is enabled by having an "device ed0 at isa? [...]" config line.
The first PCI card will get a unit number one higher than the highest
defined for any ISA card of the ED type, e.g. if ed0 and ed1 are
configured, then the PCI cards will be ed2, ed3, ...

BEWARE: If you have configured your kernel as ed0 with the port address
as assigned by the PCI BIOS, then your card will be found by both the
PCI and ISA probes, and bad things may happen. Make sure to restore
the original port address form the GENERIC kernel for the ed0 device!

b18bfc3da7 This set of commits to the VM system does the following, and contain
contributions or ideas from Stephen McKay <syssgm@devetir.qld.gov.au>,
Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:

	More usage of the TAILQ macros.  Additional minor fix to queue.h.
	Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
		Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
		has to run immediately.
		Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
	Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
		1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
		2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
		3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
		4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
		5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
		6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
		   and not an entire entry.
		7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
		8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
		   fork code from vm_glue.  Pushed much of that code into
		   the machine dependent pmap module.
		9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
		   pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
		   already zeroed.
	Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
		1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
		2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
		3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
	Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.)  The VM code now
		seldom uses splhigh.
	Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
	Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
		of objects with backing objects along with the already
		existant condition of having a vnode.  (If there is a backing
		object, there will likely be a COW...  With a COW, it isn't
		necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
	Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.

b667dc9a51 Disable setuid permission for mount_union(1).
This covers the security problem descibed in SA-96:10 and Jeff says that
when we upgrade to Lite2 (which fixes this problem), mount no longer needs
to be setuid, so we'll never be going back.

Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml.  Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.

Avoid the use of contractions.  This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.

2694f9b9a8 - Patch around amd core dump problem: don't allow yp_unbind() or _yp_unbind()
to call clnt_destroy() on a potentially NULL RPC handle. Somebody should
  bang on this a bit to make sure the problem is really gone; I seem to
  have difficulty reproducing it. Patch provided by Peter Wemm and
  slightly tweaked by me.

- Don't call _yp_unbind() in individual ypclnt functions unless we encounter
  an RPC error while making a clnt_call().
