wrong for many years that negative niceness would lower the priority
of a process below PUSER, and once below PUSER, there were conditionals
in the code that are required to test for whether a process was in
the kernel which would break.
The breakage could (and did) cause lock-ups, basically nothing else
but the least nice program being able to run in some conditions. The
algorithm which adjusts the priority now subtracts PRIO_MIN to do
things properly, and the ESTCPULIM() algorithm was updated to use
PRIO_TOTAL (PRIO_MAX - PRIO_MIN) to calculate the estcpu.
NICE_WEIGHT is now 1 to accomodate the full range of priorities better
(a -20 process with full CPU time has the priority of a +0 process with
no CPU time). There are now 20 queues (exactly; 80 priorities) for
use in user processes' scheduling, and PUSER has been lowered to 48
to accomplish this.
This means, to the user, that things will be scheduled more correctly
(noticeable), there is no lock-up anymore WRT a niced -20 process
never releasing the CPU time for other processes. In this fair system,
tsleep()ed < PUSER processes now will get the proper higher priority
than priority >= PUSER user processes.
The detective work of this was done by me, along with part of the
solution. Luoqi Chen has provided most of the solution, and really
helped me understand what was happening better, to boot :)

bus/driver/kobj system. I am not 100% sure that this is the correct fix,
but it is harmless and does seem to solve the problem. At worst, it could
cause a tiny memory leak at unload time - this is better than a free(NULL)
and subsequent panic. I'm waiting for comments from Doug about this.
This may yet be backed out and fixed differently.
The change itself is to increment the reference count on drivers in one
case where it appears to have been missed. When everything is unloaded,
kobj_class_free() was being called twice in some cases, and panicing the
second time.
version dependency system. This isn't quite finished, but it is at a
useful stage to do a functional checkpoint.
Highlights:
- version and dependency metadata is gathered via linker sets, so things
are handled the same for static kernels and code built to live in a kld.
- The dependencies are at module level (versus at file level).
- Dependencies determine kld symbol search order - this means that you
cannot link against symbols in another file unless you depend on it. This
is so that you cannot accidently unload the target out from underneath
the ones referencing it.
- It is flexible enough that we can put tags in #include files and macros
so that we can get decent hooks for enforcing recompiles on incompatable
ABI changes. eg: if we change struct proc, we could force a recompile
for all kld's that reference the proc struct.
- Tangled dependency references at boot time are sorted. Files are
relocated once all their dependencies are already relocated.
Caveats:
- Loader support is incomplete, but has been worked on seperately.
- Actual enforcement of the version number tags is not active yet - just
the module dependencies are live. The actual structure of versioning
hasn't been agreed on yet. (eg: major.minor, or whatever)
- There is some backwards compatability for old modules without metadata
but I'm not sure how good it is.
This is based on work originally done by Boris Popov (bp@freebsd.org),
but I'm not sure he'd recognize much of it now. Don't blame him. :-)

maintainers.
After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.
With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.
Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

* For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries

syscall path inward. A system call may select whether it needs the MP
lock or not (the default being that it does need it).
A great deal of conditional SMP code for various deadended experiments
has been removed. 'cil' and 'cml' have been removed entirely, and the
locking around the cpl has been removed. The conditional
separately-locked fast-interrupt code has been removed, meaning that
interrupts must hold the CPL now (but they pretty much had to anyway).
Another reason for doing this is that the original separate-lock for
interrupts just doesn't apply to the interrupt thread mechanism being
contemplated.
Modifications to the cpl may now ONLY occur while holding the MP
lock. For example, if an otherwise MP safe syscall needs to mess with
the cpl, it must hold the MP lock for the duration and must (as usual)
save/restore the cpl in a nested fashion.
This is precursor work for the real meat coming later: avoiding having
to hold the MP lock for common syscalls and I/O's and interrupt threads.
It is expected that the spl mechanisms and new interrupt threading
mechanisms will be able to run in tandem, allowing a slow piecemeal
transition to occur.
This patch should result in a moderate performance improvement due to
the considerable amount of code that has been removed from the critical
path, especially the simplification of the spl*() calls. The real
performance gains will come later.

Using recursion to traverse the recursive data structure for extended
partitions was never good, but when slice support was implemented in
1995, the recursion worked for the default maximum number of slices
(32), and standard fdisk utilities didn't support creating more than
the default number. Even then, corrupt extended partitions could
cause endless recursion, because we attempt to check all slices, even
ones which we don't turn into devices.
The recursion has succumbed to creeping features. The stack requirements
for each level had grown to 204 bytes on i386's. Most of the growth was
caused by adding a 64-byte copy of the DOSpartition table to each frame.
The kernel stack size has shrunk to about 5K on i386's. Most of the
shrinkage was caused by the growth of `struct sigacts' by 2388 bytes
to support 128 signals.
Linux fdisk (a 1997 version at least) can now create 60 slices (4 standard
ones, 56 for logical drives within extended partitions, and it seems to
be leaving room to map the 4 BSD partitions on my test drive), and Linux
(2.2.29 and 2.3.35 at least) now reports all these slices at boot time.
The fix limits the recursion to 16 levels (4 + 16 slices) and recovers
32 bytes per level caused by gcc pessimizing for space. Switching to
a static buffer doesn't cause any problems due to recursion, since the
buffer is not passed down. Using a static buffer is wrong in general
because it requires the giant lock to protect it. However, this problem
is small compared with using a static buffer for dsname(). We sometimes
neglect to copy the result of dsname() before sleeping.
Also fixed slice names when we find more than MAX_SLICES (32) slices.
The number of the last slice found was not passed passed recursively.
The limit on the recursion now prevents finding more than 32 slices
with a standard extended partition data structure anyway.

In mbuf.h, the definitions of various things for KERNEL and not
KERNEL cases were very screwy. This fixes all of that which I could
find.
1. Data written beyond end of pipe buffer, causing kernel memory corruption.
- Check that space is still valid after obtaining the pipe lock.
- Defer the calculation of transfer size until the pipe
lock has been obtained.
- Update the pipe buffer pointers while holding the pipe lock.
2. Writes of size <= PIPE_BUF not always atomic.
- Allow an internal write to span two contiguous segments,
so writes of size <= PIPE_BUF can be kept atomic
when wrapping around from the end to the start of the
pipe buffer.

Scheduler bug fixes and reorganization
* fix the ancient nice(1) bug, where nice +20 processes incorrectly
steal 10 - 20% of the CPU, (or even more depending on load average)
* provide a new schedclk() mechanism at a new clock at schedhz, so high
platform hz values don't cause nice +0 processes to look like they are
niced
* change the algorithm slightly, and reorganize the code a lot
* fix percent-CPU calculation bugs, and eliminate some no-op code
=== nice bug === Correctly divide the scheduler queues between niced and
compute-bound processes. The current nice weight of two (sort of, see
`algorithm change' below) neatly divides the USRPRI queues in half; this
should have been used to clip p_estcpu, instead of UCHAR_MAX. Besides
being the wrong amount, clipping an unsigned char to UCHAR_MAX is a no-op,
and it was done after decay_cpu() which can only _reduce_ the value. It
has to be kept <= NICE_WEIGHT * PRIO_MAX - PPQ or processes can
scheduler-penalize themselves onto the same queue as nice +20 processes.
(Or even a higher one.)
=== New schedclk() mechansism === Some platforms should be cutting down
stathz before hitting the scheduler, since the scheduler algorithm only
works right in the vicinity of 64 Hz. Rather than prescale hz, then scale
back and forth by 4 every time p_estcpu is touched (each occurance an
abstraction violation), use p_estcpu without scaling and require schedhz
to be generated directly at the right frequency. Use a default stathz (well,
actually, profhz) / 4, so nothing changes unless a platform defines schedhz
and a new clock. Define these for alpha, where hz==1024, and nice was
totally broke.
=== Algorithm change === The nice value used to be added to the
exponentially-decayed scheduler history value p_estcpu, in _addition_ to
be incorporated directly (with greater wieght) into the priority calculation.
At first glance, it appears to be a pointless increase of 1/8 the nice
effect (pri = p_estcpu/4 + nice*2), but it's actually at least 3x that
because it will ramp up linearly but be decayed only exponentially, thus
converging to an additional .75 nice for a loadaverage of one. I killed
this, it makes the behavior hard to control, almost impossible to analyze,
and the effect (~~nothing at for the first second, then somewhat increased
niceness after three seconds or more, depending on load average) pointless.
=== Other bugs === hz -> profhz in the p_pctcpu = f(p_cpticks) calcuation.
Collect scheduler functionality. Try to put each abstraction in just one
place.
----------------------------
The details are a little different in FreeBSD:
=== nice bug === Fixing this is the main point of this commit. We use
essentially the same clipping rule as NetBSD (our limit on p_estcpu
differs by a scale factor). However, clipping at all is fundamentally
bad. It gives free CPU the hoggiest hogs once they reach the limit, and
reaching the limit is normal for long-running hogs. This will be fixed
later.
=== New schedclk() mechanism === We don't use the NetBSD schedclk()
(now schedclock()) mechanism. We require (real)stathz to be about 128
and scale by an extra factor of 2 compared with NetBSD's statclock().
We scale p_estcpu instead of scaling the clock. This is more accurate
and flexible.
=== Algorithm change === Same change.

The core of the signalling code has been rewritten to operate
on the new sigset_t. No methodological changes have been made.
Most references to a sigset_t object are through macros (see
signalvar.h) to create a level of abstraction and to provide
a basis for further improvements.
The NSIG constant has not been changed to reflect the maximum
number of signals possible. The reason is that it breaks
programs (especially shells) which assume that all signals
have a non-null name in sys_signame. See src/bin/sh/trap.c
for an example. Instead _SIG_MAXSIG has been introduced to
hold the maximum signal possible with the new sigset_t.
struct sigprop has been moved from signalvar.h to kern_sig.c
because a) it is only used there, and b) access must be done
though function sigprop(). The latter because the table doesn't
holds properties for all signals, but only for the first NSIG
signals.
signal.h has been reorganized to make reading easier and to
add the new and/or modified structures. The "old" structures
are moved to signalvar.h to prevent namespace polution.
Especially the coda filesystem suffers from the change, because
it contained lines like (p->p_sigmask == SIGIO), which is easy
to do for integral types, but not for compound types.
NOTE: kdump (and port linux_kdump) must be recompiled.
Thanks to Garrett Wollman and Daniel Eischen for pressing the
importance of changing sigreturn as well.

ufs/ufs/ufs_readwrite.c). vm_fault also now uses the new VM page counter
inlines.
This completes the changeover from vnode->v_lastr to vm_entry_t->v_lastr
for VM, and fp->f_nextread and fp->f_seqcount (which have been in the
tree for a while). Determination of the I/O strategy (sequential, random,
and so forth) is now handled on a descriptor-by-descriptor basis for
base I/O calls, and on a memory-region-by-memory-region and
process-by-process basis for VM faults.

spaces which cross a segment boundry in the page table. pmap_kextract()
is not designed for access to the user space portion of the page
table and cannot handle the null-page-directory-entry case.
The fix is to have vm_fault_quick() return a success or failure which
is then used to avoid calling pmap_kextract().
improperly ignored the B_INVAL flag when acting on the B_ERROR.
If both B_INVAL and B_ERROR are set the buffer is typically out of the
underlying device's block range and must be destroyed. If only B_ERROR
is set (for a write), a write error occured and operation remains as it
was before: the buffer must be redirtied to avoid corrupting the
filesystem state.

far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for
changes. The biggest change is that now, you don't use
fp->f_ops->fo_foo(fp, bar)
but instead
fo_foo(fp, bar),
which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit.
Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided. Each does what it
seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the
fd is freed as well.

The fix to BOOTP is yet another hack. Actually, rootfsid handling
is already a major hack. The whole thing needs to be cleaned up.

compatible, i.e. reads and writes are allowed.
The idea is for a larger crowd to start running with this disabled and
see what problems, if any, crop up, and then to change the default to
off and see if any problems crop up in the next 6 months prior to
potentially removing support entirely. There are still a few people,
Julian and myself included, who believe the buffered block device
access from usermode to be useful.
