when the child process execs daemon's target program thanks to flock(2)
semantics. So, we apparently have to leak the open pidfile's file
descriptor to keep the lock for the pidfile(3) functions to work properly.

preprocessor to run. Previously, it always ran /usr/bin/cpp, unless you
used the -Y option, and even then you could not set the basename. It
also attempted to run /usr/ccs/lib/cpp for SVR4 compatibility, but this
is obsolete, and has been removed.
Note that setting RPCGEN_CPP to a command with arguments is supported,
though the command line parsing is simplistic. However, setting it to
e.g. "gcc46 -E" or "clang -E" will lead to problems, because both gcc
and clang in -E mode will consider files with unknown extensions (such
as .x) as object files, and attempt to link them.
This could be worked around by also adding "-x c", but it is much safer
to set RPCGEN_CPP to e.g. "cpp46" or "clang-cpp" instead.

nothing, which is safe as it is only waiting on the parent buffer to
be written, so it can be removed.

mnt_noasync counter to temporary remove MNTK_ASYNC mount option, which
is needed to guarantee a synchronous completion of the initiated i/o
before syscall or VOP return. Global removal of MNTK_ASYNC option is
harmful because not only i/o started from corresponding thread becomes
synchronous, but all i/o is synchronous on the filesystem which is
initiated during sync(2) or syncer activity.
Instead of removing MNTK_ASYNC from mnt_kern_flag, provide a local
thread flag to disable async i/o for current thread only. Use the
opportunity to move DOINGASYNC() macro into sys/vnode.h and
consistently use it through places which tested for MNTK_ASYNC.
Some testing demonstrated 60-70% improvements in run time for the
metadata-intensive operations on async-mounted UFS volumes, but still
with great deviation due to other reasons.

This small utility can be used to `sanitize' the whitespace in source
code. It does the following things:
Global:
- Remove empty lines at the beginning and the end of a file.
- Merge successive empty lines into a single empty line.
Per-line:
- Remove trailing whitespace.
- Merge spaces preceeding tabs into the tabs.
It operated on stdin/stdout. This means that if you use vi(1), you can
just run :%!fixwhite to reorganize the file.

should not send G_GATE_CMD_DONE acknowledge to the kernel.
This fixes the issue, observed in async mode, when on synchronization
from the remote component the worker terminated with "G_GATE_CMD_DONE
failed" error.

This uses vfork() for simple commands and command substitutions containing a
single simple command, invoking an external program under certain conditions
(no redirections or variable assignments, non-interactive shell, no job
control). These restrictions limit the amount of code executed in a vforked
child.
There is a large speedup (for example 35%) in microbenchmarks. The
difference in buildkernel is smaller (for example 0.5%) but still
statistically significant. See

The use of vfork() can be disabled by setting a variable named
SH_DISABLE_VFORK.
