Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:
More usage of the TAILQ macros. Additional minor fix to queue.h.
Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
has to run immediately.
Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
and not an entire entry.
7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
fork code from vm_glue. Pushed much of that code into
the machine dependent pmap module.
9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
already zeroed.
Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.) The VM code now
seldom uses splhigh.
Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
of objects with backing objects along with the already
existant condition of having a vnode. (If there is a backing
object, there will likely be a COW... With a COW, it isn't
necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.
This covers the security problem descibed in SA-96:10 and Jeff says that
when we upgrade to Lite2 (which fixes this problem), mount no longer needs
to be setuid, so we'll never be going back.

Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml. Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.
Avoid the use of contractions. This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.
to call clnt_destroy() on a potentially NULL RPC handle. Somebody should
bang on this a bit to make sure the problem is really gone; I seem to
have difficulty reproducing it. Patch provided by Peter Wemm and
slightly tweaked by me.
- Don't call _yp_unbind() in individual ypclnt functions unless we encounter
an RPC error while making a clnt_call().

Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on
sysinstall's command-line when running post-install. A replacement
for pkg_manage might, for example, be `/stand/sysinstall configPackages'
Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.
Fix bug with release name checking in ftp_strat. Turned a bunch of
bogus exit()s into proper calls to systemShutdown().

mount_* programs. While we're at it, collapse the four now-identical
mount programs for devfs, fdesc, kernfs, and procfs into links to
a new mount_std(8) which can mount any really generic filesystem

Also, convert the mount programs to use sysexits.h.
use sd87a or sd237e even if they start at the beginning of the slice.
You can also use sd85c if you prefer, although you need to change the
type field in the disklabel to "4.2BSD".

makewhatis.local - start makewhatis(1) only for file systems
physically mounted on the system
Running makewhatis from /etc/weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill
your NFS server -- all clients start makewhatis at the same time!
So use this wrapper instead calling makewhatis directly.

- Fix typos in comments in hash.c.
- Remove unneeded and unused member from grouplist struct in hash.h.
(Curiously, the compiler never complained about this even though the
member was of type 'struct grps' which is not defined anywhere in
this program.)
- char ch -> int ch in revnetgroup.c.
- char *argv[0]; -> char *argv[]; also in revnetgroup.c.
- Force the user to specify at least one of the -u or -h flags
and complain if they specify both.
