PCPU_LAZY_INC() which increments elements in it for cases where we
can afford the occassional inaccuracy. Use of per-cpu stats counters
avoids significant cache stalls in various critical paths that would
otherwise severely limit our cpu scaleability.
Adjust all sysctl's accessing cnt.* elements to now use a procedure
which aggregates the requested field for all cpus and for the global
vmmeter.
The global vmmeter is retained, since some stats counters, like v_free_min,
cannot be made per-cpu. Also, this allows us to convert counters from
the global vmmeter to the per-cpu vmmeter in a piecemeal fashion, so
have at it!
most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.
Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64
the generic lock type for use with witness. If this argument is NULL then
the lock name is used as the lock type. Add a macro for a lock type name
for network driver locks.
point to a more generic name for a lock that is more suitable for use by
witness when grouping locks. For example, although network driver locks
use the interface name for the name of each lock, they should all use the
same witness and be treated the same as witness. Another example is that
all UMA zone locks should be treated the same. The witness code has also
been updated to print out the lock type in addition to the lock name in a
few places where it is relevant.
This shrinks the size 4 bytes on alpha, down to the same 276 bytes
as all other platforms.
Construct a hack to make old ioctls work on new kernels.
Once world is recompiled only the new and correct sysctls will be
used.
This hack will become annoying around 1st of may to make people
rebuild their worlds and it will be gone before 5.0.
Andrew Korty's pam_ssh. The most notable difference is that this uses
commas rather than colons to separate items in the "keyfiles" option.

In the i386 case, options BOOTP requires options NFS_ROOT as well as
options NFSCLIENT. With *both* the NFS options, a bootpc_init()
prototype is brought in by nfsclient/nfsdiskless.h.
In the ia64 case, it just doesn't work and my change just pushes it
further away from working.

they aren't in the usual path of execution for syscalls and traps.
The main complication for this is that we have to set flags to control
ast() everywhere that changes the signal mask.
Avoid locking in userret() in most of the remaining cases.

inline function sigsetmasked() and a new macro SIGPENDING(). CURSIG()
will soon be moved out of the normal path of execution for syscalls and
traps. Then its efficiency will be less important but the new interfaces
will be useful for checking for unmasked pending signals in more places.

Assert that sched_lock is not held in CURSIG().
o OpenBSD's wiconfig tells me that a value of '2' is for sony wireless
cards, 1 is for lucent (which we already knew) and '5' is for embedded
lucent cards.
o Move some RID definitions to if_wavelan_ieee.h and use NetBSD names
more often.
# more work is still needed in this area.
