(original "High Sierra") CD format. I've already implemented this for
1.1.5.1 (and posted to -hackers), but didn't get any response to it.
Perhaps i'm the only one who has such an old CD lying around...
Everything is done empirically, but i had three of them around (from
different vendors), so there's a high probability that i've got it
right. :)
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.
The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.
The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.
vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.
vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.
vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.
vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.
pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.
vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.
proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.
swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.
machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.
machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.
ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

of attributes so that `cp -p' to an msdos file system can succeed under
favourable circumstances (no uid or gid changes and no nonzero flags
except SF_ARCHIVED).
msdosfs_vnops.c:
The in-core inode flags were confused with the on-disk inode flags, so
chflags() clobbered the lock flag and caused a panic.
denode.h, msdosfs_denode.c, msdosfs_vnops.c:
Support the msdosfs archive attibute (ATTR_ARCHIVE) by mapping it to
the complement of the SF_ARCHIVED flag and setting the ATTR_ARCHIVE
bit when a file's modification time is set (but not when a file's
permissions are set; this is the standard wrong DOS behaviour).
denode.h, msdosfs_denode.c:
Remove the DE_UPDAT() macro. It was only used once, and the corresponding
macro in ufs has already been removed.
denode.h:
Don't change the timestamp for directories in DE_TIMES() (be consistent
with deupdat()).
msdosfs_vnops.c:
Handle chown() better: return EPERM instead of EINVAL if there are
insufficient permissions; otherwise, allow null changes.
DE_UPDATE was confused with DE_MODIFIED in some places (they do have
confusing names). Handle them exactly the same as IN_UPDATE and
IN_MODIFIED. This fixes chmod() and chown() clobbering the mtime
and other bugs.
DE_MODIFIED was set but not used.
Parenthesize macro args.
DE_TIMES() now takes a timeval arg instead of a timespec arg. It was
stupid to use a macro for speed and do unused conversions to prepare
for the macro.
Restore the left shifting of the DOS seconds count by 1. It got
lost among the shifts for the bitfields, so DOS seconds counts
appeared to range from 0 to 29 seconds (step 1) instead of 0 to 58
seconds (step 2).
Actually use the passed-in mtime in deupdat() as documented so that
utimes() works.
Change `extern __inline's to `static inline's so that msdosfs_fat.o
can be linked when it is compiled without -O.
Remove faking of directory mtimes to always be the current time. It's
more surprising for directory mtimes to change when you read the
directories than for them not to change when you write the directories.
This should be controlled by a mount-time option if at all.
Find enclosed a short bugfix to get the union filesystem up and running
in FreeBSD-current. We don't think we've got all the problems yet but
these fixes sort out the major ones (which mostly concert bad locking
of vnodes), no doubt we'll post others as necessary. Known problems
include the inability of the umount command (not the system call) to unmount
unions in certain circumstances (this is due the way "realpath" works),
and the failure of direntries to always get all available files in
unioned subdirectories. We are, as they say, working on it.

I'm not sure if this is just masking another problem (like, should
ap->a_eofflag EVER be NULL?), but if it prevents a panic for now then
it may save an ALPHA customer.

- Make a number of filesystems work again when they are statically compiled
(blush)
- FIFOs are no longer optional; ``options FIFO'' removed from distributed
config files.
- set args->lkm_offset correctly so that VFS modules can be unloaded
- initialize _fs_vfsops.vfc_refcount correctly so that VFS modules can
be unloaded
- include kernel.h in a few placves to get the correct definition of DATA_SET
Remove the unnecessary inclusion of disklabel.h in cd9660_vfsops.c so
that I don't have to worry about the latter when changing disklabel.h.
Supply prototypes for some functions that were implicitly declared and
fix the resulting warnings and errors (timevals were punned to timespecs).
device block which was stopping symbolic links working.
cd9660_readdir was incorrectly casting a pointer to the d_namlen field of a
struct dirent to a (u_short*) which caused the directory entries "." and ".."
to read incorrectly.

machdep.c:
Changed printf's a little and call vfs_unmountall() if the sync was
successful.
cd9660_vfsops.c, ffs_vfsops.c, nfs_vfsops.c, lfs_vfsops.c:
Allow dismount of root FS. It is now disallowed at a higher level.
vfs_conf.c:
Removed unused rootfs global.
vfs_subr.c:
Added new routines vfs_unmountall and vfs_unmountroot. Filesystems
are now dismounted if the machine is properly rebooted.
ffs_vfsops.c:
Toggle clean bit at the appropriate places. Print warning if an
unclean FS is mounted.
ffs_vfsops.c, lfs_vfsops.c:
Fix bug in selecting proper flags for VOP_CLOSE().
vfs_syscalls.c:
Disallow dismounting root FS via umount syscall.
use of timeout_t -> timeout_func_t in aha1542 and aha1742 drivers.
2) fix a bug in the portalfs that was uncovered by better prototyping -
specifically, the time must be converted from timeval to timespec
before storing in va_atime.
3) fixed/added some miscellaneous prototypes
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
