The duplication is caused by the fact that imgact_elf.c is included
by both imgact_elf32.c and imgact_elf64.c and both are compiled by
default on ia64. Consequently, we have two seperate copies of the
elf_legacy_coredump variable due to them being declared static, and
two entries for the same sysctl in the linker set, both referencing
the unique copy of the elf_legacy_coredump variable. Since the second
sysctl cannot be registered, one of the elf_legacy_coredump variables
can not be tuned (if ordering still holds, it's the ELF64 related one).
The only solution is to create two different sysctl variables, just
like the elf<32|64>_trace sysctl variables. This unfortunately is an
(user) interface change, but unavoidable. Thus, on ELF32 platforms
the sysctl variable is called elf32_legacy_coredump and on ELF64
platforms it is called elf64_legacy_coredump. Platforms that have
both ELF formats have both sysctl variables.
These variables should probably be retired sooner rather than later.
skipping read-only pages, which can result in valuable non-text-related
data not getting dumped, the ELF loader and the dynamic loader now mark
read-only text pages NOCORE and the coredump code only checks (primarily) for
complete inaccessibility of the page or NOCORE being set.
Certain applications which map large amounts of read-only data will
produce much larger cores. A new sysctl has been added,
debug.elf_legacy_coredump, which will revert to the old behavior.

resource starvation we clean-up as much of the vmspace structure as we

is cleaned up when it is reaped. But since exit1() decrements the ref
count it is possible for a double-free to occur if someone else, such as
the process swapout code, references and then dereferences the structure.
Additionally, the final cleanup of the structure should not occur until
the last process referencing it is reaped.
This commit solves the problem by introducing a secondary reference count,
calling 'vm_exitingcnt'. The normal reference count is decremented on exit
and vm_exitingcnt is incremented. vm_exitingcnt is decremented when the
process is reaped. When both vm_exitingcnt and vm_refcnt are 0, the

structure definition, rather than using an operation vector
we translate into the structure. Originally, we used a vector
for two reasons:
(1) We wanted to define the structure sparsely, which wasn't
supported by the C compiler for structures. For a policy
with five entry points, you don't want to have to stick in
a few hundred NULL function pointers.
(2) We thought it would improve ABI compatibility allowing modules
to work with kernels that had a superset of the entry points
defined in the module, even if the kernel had changed its
entry point set.
Both of these no longer apply:
(1) C99 gives us a way to sparsely define a static structure.
(2) The ABI problems existed anyway, due to enumeration numbers,
argument changes, and semantic mismatches. Since the going
rule for FreeBSD is that you really need your modules to
pretty closely match your kernel, it's not worth the
complexity.
This submit eliminates the operation vector, dynamic allocation
of the operation structure, copying of the vector to the
structure, and redoes the vectors in each policy to direct

"refreshing" the label on the vnode before use, just get the label
right from inception. For single-label file systems, set the label
in the generic VFS getnewvnode() code; for multi-label file systems,
leave the labeling up to the file system. With UFS1/2, this means
reading the extended attribute during vfs_vget() as the inode is
pulled off disk, rather than hitting the extended attributes
frequently during operations later, improving performance. This
also corrects sematics for shared vnode locks, which were not
previously present in the system. This chances the cache
coherrency properties WRT out-of-band access to label data, but in
an acceptable form. With UFS1, there is a small race condition
during automatic extended attribute start -- this is not present
with UFS2, and occurs because EAs aren't available at vnode
inception. We'll introduce a work around for this shortly.

that works in the new threaded kernel. It was commented out of

Comment out Kirks io-request priority hack until we can do this in a
civilized way which doesn't cause grief.
The problem is that it is not generally safe to cast a "struct bio
*" to a "struct buf *". Things like ccd, vinum, ata-raid and GEOM
constructs bio's which are not entrails of a struct buf.
Also, curthread may or may not have anything to do with the I/O request
at hand.
The correct solution can either be to tag struct bio's with a
priority derived from the requesting threads nice and have disksort
act on this field, this wouldn't address the "silly-seek syndrome"
where two equal processes bang the diskheads from one edge to the
other of the disk repeatedly.
Alternatively, and probably better: a sleep should be introduced
either at the time the I/O is requested or at the time it is completed
where we can be sure to sleep in the right thread.
The sleep also needs to be in constant timeunits, 1/hz can be practicaly
any sub-second size, at high HZ the current code practically doesn't
do anything.
----------------------------
As suggested in this comment, it is no longer located in the disk sort
routine, but rather now resides in spec_strategy where the disk operations
are being queued by the thread that is associated with the process that
is really requesting the I/O. At that point, the disk queues are not
visible, so the I/O for positively niced processes is always slowed
down whether or not there is other activity on the disk.
On the issue of scaling HZ, I believe that the current scheme is
better than using a fixed quantum of time. As machines and I/O
subsystems get faster, the resolution on the clock also rises.
So, ten years from now we will be slowing things down for shorter
periods of time, but the proportional effect on the system will
be about the same as it is today. So, I view this as a feature
rather than a drawback. Hence this patch sticks with using HZ.

to help clean up. After selecting a potential buffer to write, this
patch has it acquire a lock on the vnode that owns the buffer before
trying to write it. The vnode lock is necessary to avoid a race with
some other process holding the vnode locked and trying to flush its
dirty buffers. In particular, if the vnode in question is a snapshot
file, then the race can lead to a deadlock. To avoid slowing down the
buf_daemon, it does a non-blocking lock request when trying to lock
the vnode. If it fails to get the lock it skips over the buffer and
continues down its queue looking for buffers to flush.

In that case, go ahead and let the peer process proceed normally as the

gone to sleep to wait for the peers to die, so the new child process may
not receive a SIGKILL from the task leader. Rather than try to destruct
the new child process, just go ahead and send it a SIGKILL directly and
add it to the p_peers list. This ensures that the task leader will wait

that use it. Specifically, vop_stdlock uses the lock pointed to by
vp->v_vnlock. By default, getnewvnode sets up vp->v_vnlock to
reference vp->v_lock. Filesystems that wish to use the default
do not need to allocate a lock at the front of their node structure
(as some still did) or do a lockinit. They can simply start using
vn_lock/VOP_UNLOCK. Filesystems that wish to manage their own locks,
but still use the vop_stdlock functions (such as nullfs) can simply
replace vp->v_vnlock with a pointer to the lock that they wish to
have used for the vnode. Such filesystems are responsible for
setting the vp->v_vnlock back to the default in their vop_reclaim
routine (e.g., vp->v_vnlock = &vp->v_lock).
In theory, this set of changes cleans up the existing filesystem

vcanrecycle to check a free vnode's availability. If it is
available, vcanrecycle returns an error code of zero and the
vnode in question locked. The getnewvnode routine then used
to call vn_start_write with the V_NOWAIT flag. If the filesystem
was suspended while taking a snapshot, the vn_start_write would
fail but getnewvnode would fail to unlock the vnode, instead
leaving it locked on the freelist. The result would be that the
vnode would be locked forever and would eventually hang the
system with a race to the root when it was attempted to recycle
it. This fix moves the vn_start_write check into vcanrecycle
