Prepare for disk slices - more macros for handling disk device numbers,
version of readdisklabel() without DOS goop.
Clean up prototypes.
Uniformize idempotency ifdef.
diskslice.h:
New file.
dkbad.h:
Define more magic numbers.
Declare internalized version of dkbad struct and functions to operate on it.
Uniformize idempotency ifdef.
worked in the past only because of good fortune. Anyway, use the contig alloc
routine I wrote awhile ago (vm_page_alloc_contig) for the sound code to do
this allocation. Also, specify read+write on the permissions to pmap_enter().
Specifying just read can have unexpected consquences.
of returning EINVAL since something may depend on them being broken.
Allowing negative limits caused bugs almost everywhere. The recent
fixes for MAXSSIZ checked the limits too late to stop anyone defeating
limits set by root...
<string.h> isn't supposed to be used by the kernel.
cronix.h is <machine/cronix.h>, not "cronyx.h" (ambiguous) or
<sys/cronyx.h> (nonexistent; caused compile to fail).
cxreg.h is <i386/isa/cxreg.h>, not "cxreg.h".
<i386/isa/cpufunc.h> shouldn't be included directly; it is always
included by <sys/systm.h>.
<i386/include/*.h> is <machine/*.h>
<systm.h> is <sys/systm.h>.
<kernel.h> is <sys/kernel.h>.
<bpfilter.h> is "bpfilter.h". It really is in the current directory.
>Description:
If a process attempts to open a floppy tape device when the
device has been configured in the kernel, but did not probe and attach
on bootup, then a panic will occur.
[Review: The current ft situation is a crock, and this only bandaids
an earlier wound inflicted by making the attach conditional. This urgently
requires a review]

Keep track of interrupt nesting level. It is normally 0
for syscalls and traps, but is fudged to 1 for their exit
processing in case they metamorphose into an interrupt
handler.
i386/genassym.c;
Remove support for the obsolete pcb_iml and pcb_cmap2.
Add support for pcb_inl.
i386/swtch.s:
Fudge the interrupt nesting level across context switches and in
the idle loop so that the work for preemptive context switches
gets counted as interrupt time, the work for voluntary context
switches gets counted mostly as system time (the part when
curproc == 0 gets counted as interrupt time), and only truly idle
time gets counted as idle time.
Remove obsolete support (commented out and otherwise) for pcb_iml.
Load curpcb just before curproc instead of just after so that
curpcb is always valid if curproc is. A few more changes like
this may fix tracing through context switches.
Remove obsolete function swtch_to_inactive().
include/cpu.h:
Use the new interrupt nesting level variable to implement a
non-fake CLF_INTR() so that accounting for the interrupt state
works.
You can use top, iostat or (best) an up to date systat to see
interrupt overheads. I see the expected huge interrupt overheads
for ISA devices (on a 486DX/33, about 55% for an IDE drive
transferring 1250K/sec and the same for a WD8013EBT network card
transferring 1100K/sec). The huge interrupt overheads for serial
devices are unfortunately normally invisible.
include/pcb.h:
Remove the obsolete pcb_iml and pcb_cmap2. Replace them by
padding to preserve binary compatibility.
Use part of the new padding for pcb_inl.
isa/icu.s:
isa/vector.s:
Keep track of interrupt nesting level.
