null casts. `time' is nonvolatile for accesses within a region locked
by splclock()/splx(). Accesses outside such a region are invalid, and
splx() must have the side effect of potentially changing all global
variables (since there are hundreds of sort of volatile variables like
`time'), so declaring `time' as volatile didn't have any real benefits.
form `tv = time'. Use a new function gettime(). The current version
just forces atomicicity without fixing precision or efficiency bugs.
Simplified some related valid accesses by using the central function.
broken for gdb -k, but the section limits weren't used much in previous
versions of gdb in FreeBSD. Now they are used for backtracing when full
symbols aren't available, and in some other new cases.
This should be fixed properly by someone who knows bfd.
This should be fixed in 2.2.

processes using AF_LOCAL sockets. This hack is going to be used with
Secure RPC to duplicate a feature of STREAMS which has no real counterpart
in sockets (with STREAMS/TLI, you can apparently use t_getinfo() to learn
UID of a local process on the other side of a transport endpoint).
What happens is this: the client sets up a sendmsg() call with ancillary
data using the SCM_CREDS socket-level control message type. It does not
need to fill in the structure. When the kernel notices the data,
unp_internalize() fills in the cmesgcred structure with the sending
process' credentials (UID, EUID, GID, and ancillary groups). This data
is later delivered to the receiving process. The receiver can then
perform the follwing tests:
- Did the client send ancillary data?
o Yes, proceed.
o No, refuse to authenticate the client.
- The the client send data of type SCM_CREDS?
o Yes, proceed.
o No, refuse to authenticate the client.
- Is the cmsgcred structure the right size?
o Yes, proceed.
o No, signal a possible error.
The receiver can now inspect the credential information and use it to
authenticate the client.
Fixed a bug in fxp_mdi_write - a hex number was missing a preceding 0x
and this was causing the routine to not wait for a PHY write to complete.
Added support for link0, link1, and link2 flags to toggle auto-
negotiation, 10/100, and half/full duplex:
link0 disable auto-negotiation
When set, these flags then have meaning:
-link1 10Mbps
link1 100Mbps
-link2 half duplex
link2 full duplex
...needs a manual page.
modern FreeBSD systems will syslog properly on older systems that
still name the logging socket "/dev/log". This includes pre-2.2
versions of FreeBSD as well as BSD/OS systems. If the connect to
"/var/run/log" fails, the function now tries to connect to
"/dev/log" as a fallback.
