use it instead of archive_read_data.

two values, the latter does not tend to have sign extension
and/or overflow bugs, and makes the code more obvious.
While I'm there, make use of a macro which is derived from
bin/ps/ps.c: ps_compat() to improve the readability of the
code.

of it already happens.
The "tp->snd_up = tp->snd_una" is removed as it is done with the
tcp_sendseqinit() macro a few lines earlier.
read data from the standard input. This allows tail -f to pipe
data to lastcomm, and thereby real-time monitoring of executed
commands. The manual page includes the exact incantation.

and flags with an sxlock. This leads to a significant and measurable
performance improvement as a result of access to shared locking for
frequent lookup operations, reduced general overhead, and reduced overhead
in the event of contention. All of these are imported for threaded
applications where simultaneous access to a shared file descriptor array
occurs frequently. Kris has reported 2x-4x transaction rate improvements
on 8-core MySQL benchmarks; smaller improvements can be expected for many
workloads as a result of reduced overhead.
- Generally eliminate the distinction between "fast" and regular
acquisisition of the filedesc lock; the plan is that they will now all
be fast. Change all locking instances to either shared or exclusive
locks.
- Correct a bug (pointed out by kib) in fdfree() where previously msleep()
was called without the mutex held; sx_sleep() is now always called with
the sxlock held exclusively.
- Universally hold the struct file lock over changes to struct file,
rather than the filedesc lock or no lock. Always update the f_ops
field last. A further memory barrier is required here in the future
(discussed with jhb).
- Improve locking and reference management in linux_at(), which fails to
properly acquire vnode references before using vnode pointers. Annotate
improper use of vn_fullpath(), which will be replaced at a future date.
In fcntl(), we conservatively acquire an exclusive lock, even though in
some cases a shared lock may be sufficient, which should be revisited.
The dropping of the filedesc lock in fdgrowtable() is no longer required
as the sxlock can be held over the sleep operation; we should consider
removing that (pointed out by attilio).

Defer mbuf allocation and initialization until after data has already been
received in a cluster
This reduces cpu utilization somewhat, but it only improves the rx path.
Recent changes to TCP appear to make us rate limited by the TX path.
This is the first step in reducing mbuf management overhead for manipulating
clusters.
