I don't know if this is the consensus of doc@, or just a unilateral decision
of committer that corrected my following of this example. Maybe a docs
person could review these files and see if they still show current guidelines.
defined to 0 in the non-SMP case, which very much makes sense as it
permits its usage in per-CPU initialization loops (for an example, check
out subr_mbuf.c).
Further, on a UP system, make mb_alloc always use the first per-CPU
container, regardless of cpuid (i.e. remove reliability on cpuid in the
UP case).

asleep() and await() functions split the functionality of msleep() up into
two halves. Only the asleep() half (which is what puts the process on the
sleep queue) actually needs the lock usually passed to msleep() held to
prevent lost wakeups. await() does not need the lock held, so the lock
can be released prior to calling await() and does not need to be passed in
to the await() function. Typical usage of these functions would be as
follows:
mtx_lock(&foo_mtx);
... do stuff ...
asleep(&foo_cond, PRIxx, "foowt", hz);
...
mtx_unlock&foo_mtx);
...
await(-1, -1);

When encryption (MPPE) is enabled, WindowsME and Windows98 both
fail because of the extra byte, suggesting that they autheticated
successfully in their log and then dropping the connection, telling
the user that the peer doesn't support compatible encryption
options.

the first sector of the emulated floppy to contain a valid MS-DOS BPB that
it can modify. Since boot1 is the first sector of boot.flp, this resulted
in the BIOS overwriting part of boot1: specifically the function used to
read in sectors from the disk.

o This corrects anomolies in the behavior of
kern.security.unprivileged_procdebug_permitted when using truss and
ktrace. The theory goes that this is now safe to use.

MIB entries.
o Relocate kern.suser_permitted to kern.security.suser_permitted.
o Introduce new kern.security.unprivileged_procdebug_permitted, which
(when set to 0) prevents processes without privilege from performing
a variety of inter-process debugging activities. The default is 1,
to provide current behavior.
This feature allows "hardened" systems to disable access to debugging
facilities, which have been associated with a number of past security
vulnerabilities. Previously, while procfs could be unmounted, other
in-kernel facilities (such as ptrace()) were still available. This
setting should not be modified on normal development systems, as it
will result in frustration. Some utilities respond poorly to
failing to get the debugging access they require, and error response
by these utilities may be improved in the future in the name of
beautification.
Note that there are currently some odd interactions with some
facilities, which will need to be resolved before this should be used
in production, including odd interactions with truss and ktrace.
Note also that currently, tracing is permitted on the current process
regardless of this flag, for compatibility with previous
authorization code in various facilities, but that will probably
change (and resolve the odd interactions).

This is to be friendly with non-IPv6 peer (If the peer complains due to
lack of IPv6CP, drop IPv6CP). This basically implements "RXJ+" state

o Move PIOCSRESOURCE from pccard to pcic so the kernel can give pccardd
better hints as to what resources to use.
o Implement an undocumented hw.pcic.interrupt_route to allow people that
need to do so to route their interrupts in a non-standard way.
o Only preallocate a resource in probe if we're routing via pci.
o If we aren't routing via pci, then set the irq to use explicitly
to defeat the automatic IRQ routing of the pci layer.
This, with the pccardd code should be close to what can be committed
to -stable.
will soon return the irq from the pcic bridge in cases where't that's
appropriate.
Note: I've had to disbale -I option for the moment. I've made it easy
to reenable it for people that need it.
MFC After: soon!
- mostly complete kernel pmap support, and tested but currently turned
off userland pmap support
- low level assembly language trap, context switching and support code
- fully implemented atomic.h and supporting cpufunc.h
- some support for kernel debugging with ddb
- various header tweaks and filling out of machine dependent structures
to a new architecture. This is the base of the sparc64 port, but contains
limited machine dependent code, and can be used a base for ports. Included
are:
- standard machine dependent headers, tweaked for a 64 bit, big endian
architecture, including empty versions of all the machine dependent
structures
- a machine independent atomic.h, which can be used until a port has
support for interrupts and the operations really need to be atomic
- stub versions of all the machine dependent functions, which panic
when called and print out the name of the function that needs to
be implemented. functions which are normally in assembly files are
not included, but this should reduce the number of different undefined
references on the first few compiles from hundreds to 5 or 6
Given minimal startup code and console support it should be trivial to
make this compile and run the first few sysinits on almost any architecture.
