For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h

dynamic nature (if no native aio code is available, the linux part
returns ENOSYS because of missing requisites) should be solved differently
than it is.
All this will be done in P4.
Not included in this commit is a backout of the changes to the native aio
code (removing static in some places). Those changes (and some more) will
also be needed when the reworked linux aio stuff will reenter the tree.

Implement the linux_io_* syscalls (AIO). They are only enabled if the native
AIO code is available (either compiled in to the kernel or as a module) at
the time the functions are used. If the AIO stuff is not available there
will be a ENOSYS.

DESIGN NOTES:
1. Linux permits a process to own multiple AIO queues (distinguished by
"context"), but FreeBSD creates only one single AIO queue per process.
My code maintains a request queue (STAILQ of queue(3)) per "context",
and throws all AIO requests of all contexts owned by a process into
the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue.
When the process calls io_destroy(2), io_getevents(2), io_submit(2) and
io_cancel(2), my code can pick out requests owned by the specified context
from the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue according to the per-context
request queues maintained by my code.
2. The request queue maintained by my code stores contrast information between
Linux IO control blocks (struct linux_iocb) and FreeBSD IO control blocks
(struct aiocb). FreeBSD IO control block actually exists in userland memory
space, required by FreeBSD native aio_XXXXXX(2).
3. It is quite troubling that the function io_getevents() of libaio-0.3.105
needs to use Linux-specific "struct aio_ring", which is a partial mirror
of context in user space. I would rather take the address of context in
kernel as the context ID, but the io_getevents() of libaio forces me to
take the address of the "ring" in user space as the context ID.
To my surprise, one comment line in the file "io_getevents.c" of
libaio-0.3.105 reads:
Ben will hate me for this

Add back in a scheme to emulate old type major/minor numbers via hooks into
stat, linprocfs to return major/minors that Linux app's expect. Currently
only /dev/null is always registered. Drivers can register via the Linux
type shim similar to the ioctl shim but by using
linux_device_register_handler/linux_device_unregister_handler functions.
The structure is:
struct linux_device_handler {
char *bsd_driver_name;
char *linux_driver_name;
char *bsd_device_name;
char *linux_device_name;
int linux_major;
int linux_minor;
int linux_char_device;
};
Linprocfs uses this to display the major number of the driver. The
soon to be available linsysfs will use it to fill in the driver name.
Linux_stat uses it to translate the major/minor into Linux type values.
Note major numbers are dynamically assigned via passing in a -1 for
the major number so we don't need to keep track of them.
This is somewhat needed due to us switching to our devfs. MegaCli
will not run until I add in the linsysfs and mfi Linux compat changes.

.if defined(KERNBUILDDIR). Thus, such fake files won't be
created at all if modules are built with the kernel.
Some modules undergo cleanup like removing unused or unneeded
options or .h files, without which they wouldn't build this way
or the other.

- add dependencies on opt_cpu.h and opt_kstack_pages.h to the linux module
Makefile in the i386 case. The latter is needed by an i386-only file, the
former by the i386 implementation of linux_sysvec.c (opt_cpu.h is used for
architecture-dependent options, so I added it only for i386, although this
file is also generated for the alpha).

but time and other interests is making it hard. Open the door for
new blood and fresh tactics now that the Linuxulator has had its
facelift.
Thanks to all who contributed during my tour of duty!
o Introduce private types for use in linux syscalls for two reasons:
1. establish type independence for ease in porting and,
2. provide a visual queue as to which syscalls have proper
prototypes to further cleanup the i386/alpha split.
Linuxulator types are prefixed by 'l_'. void and char have not
been "virtualized".
o Provide dummy functions for all syscalls and remove dummy functions
or implementations of truely obsolete syscalls.
o Sanitize the shm*, sem* and msg* syscalls.
o Make a first attempt to implement the linux_sysctl syscall. At this
time it only returns one MIB (KERN_VERSION), but most importantly,
it tells us when we need to add additional sysctls :-)
o Bump the kenel version up to 2.4.2 (this is not the same as the
KERN_VERSION MIB, BTW).
o Implement new syscalls, of which most are specific to i386. Our
syscall table is now up to date with Linux 2.4.2. Some highlights:
- Implement the 32-bit uid_t and gid_t bases syscalls.
- Implement a couple of 64-bit file size/offset bases syscalls.
o Fix or improve numerous syscalls and prototypes.
o Reduce style(9) violations while I'm here. Especially indentation
inconsistencies within the same file are addressed. Re-indenting
did not obfuscate actual changes to the extend that it could not
be combined.
NOTE: I spend some time testing these changes and found that if there
were regressions, they were not caused by these changes AFAICT.
It was observed that installing a RH 7.1 runtime environment
did make matters worse. Hangs and/or reboots have been observed
with and without these changes, so when it failed to make life
better in cases it doesn't look like it made it worse.

out of fashion. This particular case, unlike joy(8) and friends which
are just plain silly, did more than just load a kernel loadable module.
However, /etc/rc and the linux_base port were adjusted a while back to
cope with the absence of this script.
The only outstanding reason to hang on to it would have been for the
linux(8) manual page, which clued folks into the existence of the
Linuxulator. A new linux(4) was introduced a while back. It does
a much better job.
This script just isn't useful any more.
This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.
