compiling, since <stdio.h> correctly doesn't declare off_t although
the pseudo-prototypes for the new fseeko() and ftello() functions
use it. Handle this like the corresponding problem for va_list
versus the vprintf() family.
Fixed some English errors.
request for it something like it. It was poorly worded and too
far from both POSIX wording and normal (mal)practice by referring to
sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX) instead of {NGROUPS_MAX} or NGROUPS. POSIX.1
uses curly braces to mark up "symbolic constants or limits [that may
be] defined in certain headers". Since we don't document this markup,
don't use it. Just use NGROUPS_MAX.
so that non-sloppy applications can call it without using disgusting
casts to avoid warnings. The 4th arg is sort of varargs -- it must
sometimes represent a filename, sometimes a struct pointer, and is
sometimes unused. The arg type is still caddr_t in the kernel.

This changes the definitions of a few items so that structures are the
same whether or not the option itself is enabled. This allows
people to enable and disable the option without recompilng the world.
As the author says:
|I ran into a problem pulling out the VM_STACK option. I was aware of this
|when I first did the work, but then forgot about it. The VM_STACK stuff
|has some code changes in the i386 branch. There need to be corresponding
|changes in the alpha branch before it can come out completely.
what is done:
|
|1) Pull the VM_STACK option out of the header files it appears in. This
|really shouldn't affect anything that executes with or without the rest
|of the VM_STACK patches. The vm_map_entry will then always have one
|extra element (avail_ssize). It just won't be used if the VM_STACK
|option is not turned on.
|
|I've also pulled the option out of vm_map.c. This shouldn't harm anything,
|since the routines that are enabled as a result are not called unless
|the VM_STACK option is enabled elsewhere.
|
|2) Add what appears to be appropriate code the the alpha branch, still
|protected behind the VM_STACK switch. I don't have an alpha machine,
|so we would need to get some testers with alpha machines to try it out.
|
|Once there is some testing, we can consider making the change permanent
|for both i386 and alpha.
|
[..]
|
|Once the alpha code is adequately tested, we can pull VM_STACK out
|everywhere.

This takes the conditionals out of the code that has been tested by
various people for a while.
ps and friends (libkvm) will need a recompile as some proc structure
changes are made.

- if the provided buffer is too small, set errno to ENOMEM and return -1
instead of returning ENOMEM.
is actually mounted on "/" can be determined using statfs() and is
in /dev. This fixes fsck operating on the wrong device when the
fs_spec entry is only an alias. The aliased case became more
dangerous when the ROOTSLICE_HUNT hack was committed in mount(8).
ROOTSLICE_HUNT may be unnecessary now.
Rename 'cerror' to '.cerror' so that programs which have a function or
global variable named 'cerror' don't completely break the syscall error
reporting mechanism.
