the most recently chosen index. This significantly improves nice
behavior. This allows a lower priority thread to run some multiple of
times before the higher priority thread makes it to the front of
the queue. A nice +20 cpu hog now only gets ~5% of the cpu when running
with a nice 0 cpu hog and about 1.5% with a nice -20 hog. A nice
difference of 1 makes a 4% difference in cpu usage between two hogs.
- Track a seperate insert and removal index. When the removal index is
empty it is updated to point at the current insert index.
- Don't remove and re-add a thread to the runq when it is being adjusted
down in priority.
- Pull some conditional code out of sched_tick(). It's looking a bit
large now.
- Remove the double queue mechanism for timeshare threads. It was slow
due to excess cache lines in play, caused suboptimal scheduling behavior
with niced and other non-interactive processes, complicated priority
lending, etc.
- Use a circular queue with a floating starting index for timeshare threads.
Enforces fairness by moving the insertion point closer to threads with
worse priorities over time.
- Give interactive timeshare threads real-time user-space priorities and
place them on the realtime/ithd queue.
- Select non-interactive timeshare thread priorities based on their cpu
utilization over the last 10 seconds combined with the nice value. This
gives us more sane priorities and behavior in a loaded system as
compared to the old method of using the interactivity score. The
interactive score quickly hit a ceiling if threads were non-interactive
and penalized new hog threads.
- Use one slice size for all threads. The slice is not currently
dynamically set to adjust scheduling behavior of different threads.
- Add some new sysctls for scheduling parameters.
Bug fixes/Clean up:
- Fix zeroing of td_sched after initialization in sched_fork_thread() caused
by recent ksegrp removal.
- Fix KSE interactivity issues related to frequent forking and exiting of
kse threads. We simply disable the penalty for thread creation and exit
for kse threads.
- Cleanup the cpu estimator by using tickincr here as well. Keep ticks and
ltick/ftick in the same frequency. Previously ticks were stathz and
others were hz.
- Lots of new and updated comments.
- Many many others.
Tested on: up x86/amd64, 8way amd64.
- runq_add_pri allows the caller to position the thread at any rqindex
regardless of priority.
- runq_choose_from() chooses the lowest priority thread starting from a given
index. The index is updated with the rqindex of the chosen thread. This
routine is used to pick the lowest priority relative to a given index.
- runq_remove_idx() updates the index if the run queue that held the removed
thread is now empty.
start working with third party usb modules, where sometimes it
is not easy to set the inclusion order so that there are no multiple
inclusions, yet you want to compile with high WARNS levels).
I am not sure if there is a standard for having a leading and/or trailing _
in the macro name, the usb code seems to use both.
There are still several unprotected headers here so it might be useful
to do the same thing on other files as well as the need arises.

check length of the pathname in the range 0<=n<=NFS_MAXPATHLEN,
not 0<n<=NFS_MAXPATHLEN. This fixes a minor interoperability problem
that the FreeBSD NFS server did not allow a symlink pointing the empty
pathname.

mbuf. First moves toward being able to cope better with having layer 2 (or
other encapsulation data) before the IP header in the packet being examined.
More commits to come to round out this functionality. This commit should
have no practical effect but clears the way for what is coming.

exclusive access if there is at least one thread waiting for it to
become available. This may significantly reduce overhead by reducing
the number of unnecessary wakeups issued whenever the framework becomes
idle.
Annotate that we still signal the CV more than necessary and should
fix this.

Redo the checking for 2.6 emulation. We now cache the value of
use26 and replace calls to linux_get_osrelease() + parsing with
a call to linux_use26(). Typical path is lockless now.
Pointed out by: kib
This allows to ship RELENG_7_0 with a default osrelease of 2.4.2 and the
possibility to enable 2.6.x emulation without the possible performance
impact of the previous version of the check.

- Micro-optimize the addition of an 802.1q header to match the removal code.
- Consistently check for interfaces being up and running.
- Consistently use NULL instead of 0 with pointers.
With the second (and last) part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-ipfw's in kernel nat
-redirect_* and LSNAT support
General information about nat syntax and some examples are available
in the ipfw (8) man page. The redirect and LSNAT syntax are identical
to natd, so please refer to natd (8) man page.
To enable in kernel nat in rc.conf, two options were added:
o firewall_nat_enable: equivalent to natd_enable
o firewall_nat_interface: equivalent to natd_interface
Remember to set net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass to 0, if you want the packet
to continue being checked by the firewall ruleset after being
(de)aliased.
NOTA BENE: due to some problems with libalias architecture, in kernel
nat won't work with TSO enabled nic, thus you have to disable TSO via
ifconfig (ifconfig foo0 -tso).

access plus timers. This makes the code
more portable and able to change out the
mbuf or timer system used more easily ;-)
b) removal of all use of pkt-hdr's until only
the places we need them (before ip_output routines).
c) remove a bunch of code not needed due to <b> aka
worrying about pkthdr's :-)
d) There was one last reorder problem it looks where
if a restart occur's and we release and relock (at
the point where we setup our alias vtag) we would
end up possibly getting the wrong TSN in place. The
code that fixed the TSN's just needed to be shifted
around BEFORE the release of the lock.. also code that
set the state (since this also could contribute).

semantics.
- Stop testing bpf pointers for NULL. In some cases use
bpf_peers_present() and then call the function directly inside the
conditional block instead of the macro.
- For places where the entire conditional block is the macro, remove the
test and make the macro unconditional.
- Use BPF_MTAP() in if_pfsync on FreeBSD instead of an expanded version of
the old semantics.
