discussed on current.
The following variables are defined (for now):
osname (defaults to "Linux")
Allow users to change the name of the OS as returned by uname(2),
specially added for all those Linux Netscape users and statistics
maniacs :-) We now have what we all wanted!
osrelease (defaults to "2.2.5")
Allow users to change the version of the OS as returned by uname(2).
Since -current supports glibc2.1 now, change the default to 2.2.5
(was 2.0.36).
oss_version (defaults to 198144 [0x030600])
This one will be used by the OSS_GETVERSION ioctl (PR 12917) which I
can commit now that we have the MIB. The default version number is the
lowest version possible with the current 'encoding'.
A note about imprisoned processes (see jail(2)):
These variables are copy-on-write (as suggested by phk). This means that
imprisoned processes will use the system wide value unless it is written/set
by the process. From that moment on, a copy local to the prison will be
used.
A note about the implementation:
I choose to add a single pointer to struct prison, because I didn't like the
idea of changing struct prison every time I come up with a new variable. As
a side effect, the extra storage is only needed when a variable is set from
within the prison. This also minimizes kernel bloat when the Linuxulator is
not used; both compiled in or as a module.

aligned. If I recall correctly, this is to ensure apic_imen can be
accessed in a single bus cycle. Also, use TEXT_ALIGN rather than a
.align 2 (which means 2 byte align on ELF and 4 byte align on a.out)
directory. Also, update arguments of NDINIT for both newstat and newlstat.
While I'm at it, fix style bugs in all {s|ls|fs}tat syscalls.
Reported by: bde
egid will be twice in the set and that setting cr_groups[0] will change egid.
This is simply solved by ignoring cr_groups[0]. That is; linux_getgroups does
not return cr_groups[0] and linux_setgroups does not touch it.

know if and when an unimplemented or obsoleted syscall is being used. Make the
message more end-user friendly.
And as long as we're here, rename some unimplemeted syscalls (linux_phys ->
linux_umount2, linux_vm86 -> linux_vm86old, linux_new_vm86 -> linux_vm86).
Change prototype for linux_newuname from `struct linux_newuname_t *' into
`struct linux_new_utsname *'. This change is reflected in linux.h and
linux_misc.c.

stuff from mem.c. If PERFMON is there, it will "steal" a minor from
mem.c, but mem.c doesn't need to know about this.
Fixed type of cmd argument in perfmon_ioctl().
Diskslice/label code not yet handled.
Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)
Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c
The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.
A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.
A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().
here any more as they are self identifying. Only PNP remains but that
will be replaced any day now.
Also reword a comment that had been XXX'ed to death to make it clear[er]
why we don't enable interrupts before probing.
PCIBIOS interrupt routing controls may make this possible to fix one day.
than having explicit hooks here.
Treat the eisa/isa attach a little differently so that we defer the
decision about to attach eisa/isa to the motherboard directly only if
the PCI probe (if it exists) fails to turn up a PCI->EISA/ISA bridge.
This restores the original device geometry where ISA and/or EISA attach
to their bridge rather than bypassing and going to the root.
`sleep 1; zzz' trick now.
- APM BIOS Call for suspend/standby now should be issued with delay.
- Delay for suspend/standby can be adjusted by using sysctl(8) interface
(eg. sysctl -w machdep.apm_suspend_delay=3).
PCI fast ethernet controller. Currently, the only card I know that uses
this chip is the D-Link DFE-550TX. (Don't ask me where to buy these: the
only cards I have are samples sent to me by D-Link.)
This driver is the first to make use of the miibus code once I'm sure
it all works together nicely, I'll start converting the other drivers.
The Sundance chip is a clone of the 3Com 3c90x Etherlink XL design
only with its own register layout. Support is provided for ifmedia,
hardware multicast filtering, bridging and promiscuous mode.
MII-compliant PHY drivers. Many 10/100 ethernet NICs available today
either use an MII transceiver or have built-in transceivers that can
be programmed using an MII interface. It makes sense then to separate
this support out into common code instead of duplicating it in all
of the NIC drivers. The mii code also handles all of the media
detection, selection and reporting via the ifmedia interface.
This is basically the same code from NetBSD's /sys/dev/mii, except
it's been adapted to FreeBSD's bus architecture. The advantage to this
is that it automatically allows everything to be turned into a
loadable module. There are some common functions for use in drivers
once an miibus has been attached (mii_mediachg(), mii_pollstat(),
mii_tick()) as well as individual PHY drivers. There is also a
generic driver for all PHYs that aren't handled by a specific driver.
It's possible to do this because all 10/100 PHYs implement the same
general register set in addition to their vendor-specific register
sets, so for the most part you can use one driver for pretty much
any PHY. There are a couple of oddball exceptions though, hence
the need to have specific drivers.
There are two layers: the generic "miibus" layer and the PHY driver
layer. The drivers are child devices of "miibus" and the "miibus" is
a child of a given NIC driver. The "miibus" code and the PHY drivers
can actually be compiled and kldoaded as completely separate modules
or compiled together into one module. For the moment I'm using the
latter approach since the code is relatively small.
Currently there are only three PHY drivers here: the generic driver,
the built-in 3Com XL driver and the NS DP83840 driver. I'll be adding
others later as I convert various NIC drivers to use this code.
I realize that I'm cvs adding this stuff instead of importing it
onto a separate vendor branch, but in my opinion the import approach
doesn't really offer any significant advantage: I'm going to be
maintaining this stuff and writing my own PHY drivers one way or
the other.
