or free a LDT entry. The function has following prototype:
int i386_set_ldt(int start_sel, union descriptor *descs, int num_sels);
Added Features:
o If start_sel is 0, num_sels is 1 and the descriptor pointed to by descs
is legal, then i386_set_ldt() will allocate a descriptor and return its
selector numbe
o If num_descs is 1, start_sels is valid, and descs is NULL, then
i386_set_ldt() will free that descriptor (making it available to be real-
located again later).
o If num_descs is 0, start_sels is 0 and descs is NULL then, as a special
case, i386_set_ldt() will free all descriptors.

descriptor as ready for write. This in turns causes libc_r, for
one, to busy wait in such cases.
Note: it is a quick performance fix, a more complex fix might be
required in case this turns out to have unexpected side effects.

use "\n\" instead of "\" at the end of each source line, and don't use
semicolons). Fixed some older style bugs on the same lines (mainly
English errors in comments).
1) The race has to do with zone destruction. From the zone destructor we
would lock the zone, set the working set size to 0, then unlock the zone,
drain it, and then free the structure. Within the window following the
working-set-size set to 0 and unlocking of the zone and the point where
in zone_drain we re-acquire the zone lock, the uma timer routine could
have fired off and changed the working set size to something non-zero,
thereby potentially preventing us from completely freeing slabs before
destroying the zone (and thus leaking them).
2) The leak has to do with zone destruction as well. When destroying a
zone we would take care to free all the buckets cached in the zone, but
although we would drain the pcpu cache buckets, we would not free them.
This resulted in leaking a couple of bucket structures (512 bytes each)
per cpu on SMP during zone destruction.
While I'm here, also silence GCC warnings by turning uma_slab_alloc()
from inline to real function. It's too big to be an inline.

a long-standing mistake in the way a portion of a pipe's KVA is
allocated. Specifically, kmem_alloc_pageable() is inappropriate
for use in the "direct" case because it allows a preceding vm map entry
and vm object to be extended to support the new KVA allocation.
However, the direct case KVA allocation should not have a backing
vm object. This is corrected by using kmem_alloc_nofault().

tsb_foreach(), 0 signals to terminate the tsb traversal, so when
tsb_foreach() was used in pmap_protect() (which only happens when
the area to be protected is larger than PMAP_TSB_THRESH = 16MB), only
the first tsb entry in the specified range would be protected.

("UMA Zone") carefully, because it does not have pcpu caches allocated
at all. In the UP case, we did not catch this because one pcpu cache
is always allocated with the zone, but for the MP case, we were getting
bogus stats for this zone.

- In sysctl_vm_zone use the per cpu locks to read the current cache
statistics this makes them more accurate while under heavy load.

so not only wastes memory but it can also cause a leak in zones that
will be destroyed later. The problem is that the slab allocation code
places newly created slabs on the partially allocated list because it
assumes that the caller will actually allocate some memory from it.
Failure to do so places an otherwise free slab on the partial slab list
where we wont find it later in zone_drain().

with up to date comments. This fixes booting kernels with boot2
(except for loss of the features provided by loader) and is suitable
for MFC. Contrary to the old comments, most loaders don't clear the bss.
biosboot lost clearing of the bss in a code crunch in 1997, and boot2
never did it.
kan didn't notice the problem with gcc-3.3 putting variables that are
initialized to 0 in the bss until after committing gcc-3.3 because he
was already using essentially this patch. Before gcc-3.3, only the
non-critical `bootdev' variable was clobbered by clearing the bss.

messages are forwarded as netgraph control messages to the node
that is connected to the manage hook. If that hook is not connected,
the event is lost. Flow control events are converted to netgraph
flow control messages and send along the hook that is connected to
the flow controlled VC. ACR change events are converted to control
messages and sent along the hook for the given VC.

HIDENAME() macro seems to be unimplementable in C. (HIDENAME() used
to use invalid token pasting using ## for the STDC case until gcc
started rejecting that; now it uses unportable token pasting using
juxtaposition in all cases.) This reduces use of HIDENAME() in the
kernel to only i386 and amd64 profiling code so that it doesn't bite
most kernels whenever gcc becomes stricter. Problems with HIDENAME()
in userland are smaller because userland mostly doesn't use strict
flags yet. There are some advantages to hiding the name of mcount,
but newer arches shouldn't do it; only amd64 does.

On second thoughts hide tmpstk better by staticizing it.
- cut the version string at the newline, suppressing information about
who built the kernel and in what directory. Most of this information
was already lost to truncation.
- on i386, return the precise CPU class (if known) rather than just
"i386". Linux software which uses this information to select
which binary to run often does not know what to make of "i386".
