ruleset, the pcb is looked up once per ipfw_chk() activation.
This is done by extracting the required information out of the PCB
and caching it to the ipfw_chk() stack. This should greatly reduce
PCB looking contention and speed up the processing of UID/GID based
firewall rules (especially with large UID/GID rulesets).
Some very basic benchmarks were taken which compares the number
of in_pcblookup_hash(9) activations to the number of firewall
rules containing UID/GID based contraints before and after this patch.
The results can be viewed here:

I've done it this way to avoid touching gcc source while 3.4 is in
progress, and this is the smallest, lowest impact I could come up with.
Adding a patch touches about 10-14 lines of Makefile, this touches only 1.
This will likely go away with the 3.4 import.

sorting out some of the other bugs in the userland profiling.
is the actual name here) on EBus and which are PCF8584 (on systems having
a boot-bus controller the i2c are said to not be a PCF8584). Similar to the
SUNW,envctrl devices, onboard slaves for monitoring fans, temperatures and
such hang off of these i2c devices. But there's also stuff like EEPROMs
housing the hostid of the system and the boards usally have a connector to
add custom slave devices (on CP1500 there's actually a second PCF8584 with
its own I2C bus for these).
This driver already works fine but I'm not yet sure if access to the slave
devices on CP1400/CP1500 marked as "reserved for factory use" in the docs
should be blocked (most likely these are the voltage controllers wich aren't
meant to be controller by software and even not by the firmware). Once the
issues with polled mode are fixed in the common pcf(4) part in pcf.c, this
front-end should probably honour the poll-mode property of the i2c devices.
Tested on Ultra AXe and CP1500 (Netra t1 100).

- Use "envctrl" as the name when registering this module rather than "pcf";
we can't have "pcf" as the name for all pcf(4) front-ends or we would get
conflicts.

- s,pcf_,pcf_isa, to better reflect the purpose of this front-end and to
avoid conflicts.
- Don't use this front-end for attaching to EBus, declaring it as an EBus

global and allocated variables. This strategy is derived from work
originally developed by BSDi for BSD/OS, and applied to FreeBSD by Sam
Leffler:
- Add unp_mtx, a global mutex which will protect all UNIX domain socket
related variables, structures, etc.
- Add UNP_LOCK(), UNP_UNLOCK(), UNP_LOCK_ASSERT() macros.
- Acquire unp_mtx on entering most UNIX domain socket code,
drop/re-acquire around calls into VFS, and release it on return.
- Avoid performing sodupsockaddr() while holding the mutex, so in general
move to allocating storage before acquiring the mutex to copy the data.
- Make a stack copy of the xucred rather than copying out while holding
unp_mtx. Copy the peer credential out after releasing the mutex.
- Add additional assertions of vnode locks following VOP_CREATE().
A few notes:
- Use of an sx lock for the file list mutex may cause problems with regard
to unp_mtx when garbage collection passed file descriptors.
- The locking in unp_pcblist() for sysctl monitoring is correct subject to
the unpcb zone not returning memory for reuse by other subsystems
(consistent with similar existing concerns).
- Sam's version of this change, as with the BSD/OS version, made use of
both a global lock and per-unpcb locks. However, in practice, the
global lock covered all accesses, so I have simplified out the unpcb
locks in the interest of getting this merged faster (reducing the
overhead but not sacrificing granularity in most cases). We will want
to explore possibilities for improving lock granularity in this code in
the future.
