3b16e7b252 Simplify the interface cloning framework by handling unit
unit allocation with a bitmap in the generic layer.  This
allows us to get rid of the duplicated rman code in every
clonable interface.

e4fc250c15 Device Polling code for -current.
Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.

To use this code you must compile a kernel with

        options DEVICE_POLLING

and at runtime enable polling with

        sysctl kern.polling.enable=1

The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with

        sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)

while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.

Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at

	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/

and also supports polling in the idle loop.

NOTE to Alpha developers:
There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.
If you move the 2 lines supporting the new option from
sys/conf/{files,options}.i386 to sys/conf/{files,options} I am
pretty sure that this should work on the Alpha as well, just that
I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.

NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least
read the comments in kern_poll.c, especially re. the reason why I
am using a soft netisr and cannot (I believe) replace it with a
simple timeout.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except

91421ba234 o Move per-process jail pointer (p->pr_prison) to inside of the subject
credential structure, ucred (cr->cr_prison).
o Allow jail inheritence to be a function of credential inheritence.
o Abstract prison structure reference counting behind pr_hold() and
  pr_free(), invoked by the similarly named credential reference
  management functions, removing this code from per-ABI fork/exit code.
o Modify various jail() functions to use struct ucred arguments instead
  of struct proc arguments.
o Introduce jailed() function to determine if a credential is jailed,
  rather than directly checking pointers all over the place.
o Convert PRISON_CHECK() macro to prison_check() function.
o Move jail() function prototypes to jail.h.
o Emulate the P_JAILED flag in fill_kinfo_proc() and no longer set the
  flag in the process flags field itself.
o Eliminate that "const" qualifier from suser/p_can/etc to reflect
  mutex use.

Notes:

o Some further cleanup of the linux/jail code is still required.
o It's now possible to consider resolving some of the process vs
  credential based permission checking confusion in the socket code.
o Mutex protection of struct prison is still not present, and is
  required to protect the reference count plus some fields in the
  structure.

413dd0ba39 Add a new interface ioctl, to return "aux status".
This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.

The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.

Canonical cut&paste example to be found in if_tun.c

Initial use:
        Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.

Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
        Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
        Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
        alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
        Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables

cf4b937128 Introduce IFF_SMART bit.
This means that the driver will add/delete routes when it knows it is
up/down, rather than have the generic code belive it is up if configured.

This is probably most useful for serial lines, although many PHY chips
could probably tell us if we're connected to the cable/hub as well.

75c1354190 This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature.
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing.  The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.

For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact:  "real virtual servers".

Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.

Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.

It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.

A few notes:

   I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.

   The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.

   mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.

   /proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
   jailed processes.

   Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.

   There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.

   Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!

Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

Have fun...

906f09bca4 Add a macro to accurately calculate the length of a struct ifreq when
it contains an address.  This can replace all the myriad (wrong) ways
in which this task is performed in the current system.  As an added
bonus, since it's a macro, then third-party software vendors have an easy
way to tell whether it's there or not.  (This will become necessary
when sizeof(struct sockaddr) is increaased, and also when additional
fields are added to struct ifreq.)

bbd17bf8e1 Add better support for retrieving management information from network
interfaces.  This creates two new tables in the net.link.generic branch
of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other
contains a blob provided by the interface (and presumably used to
implement link-layer-specific MIB variables).  A number of things
have been moved around in the `ifnet' and `ifdata' structures, so
NEW VERSIONS OF ifconfig(8) AND routed(8) ARE REQUIRED.  (A simple
recompile is all that's necessary.)

I have a sample program which uses this interface for those interested
in making use of it.

7c399a896a Delete the if_private[] array in struct ifnet; this turned out to be
of limited utility.  In their place, add bunch of pointers
which will eventually be needed by the polled-interrupt scheme we're working
here.  (It will probably be a while before the code is written and
committed here.)  At the same time, a `void *if_softc' field
was added to the beginning of the structure to make certain driver
writers happier.

The practical upshot of all this is that you need to
recompile utilities such as netstat which manipulate struct ifnet.
