fix a change where a shortcut resulted in teh wrong answer..
e.g.
touch a
touch b
mv a b
resulted in b being removed and a being moved to b
in the shortcut..
touch a
ln a b
mv a b
the wrong link was removed..
leaving a instead of b, giving a different result to when
both files were separate.
bp->b_flags has been broken for many years:
a) they didn't set B_BUSY for doing i/o. This has been fatal since
1995/07/25 when biodone() started checking that B_BUSY is set.
b) they didn't set B_INVAL for releasing the buffer. This at best
just put a useless buffer in the LRU queue for a little while.
Fix a couple of spelling errors and complete a couple of function
pointer declarations.

This is a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..
NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..
certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)
The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.
disksort is called at non-interrupt time and can be actively traversing
the list when that happens, there is a very small window of vulnerability.
Close it by protecting disksort with splbio().
wrong vp's ops vector being used by changing the VOP_LINK's argument order.
The special-case hack doesn't go far enough and breaks the generic
bypass routine used in some non-leaf filesystems. Pointed out by Kirk
McKusick.
proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!!
Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of
changes:
1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages,
haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now
provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take
struct vm_object's instead of "pagers".
2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant
confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a
pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has
escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is
used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager
structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were
unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union
was created in the object to contain these items.
3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now
be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(),
vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the
things that were removed.
4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the
SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism
that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code
was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The
locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward
making the code difficult to read and debug.
5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel
thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really
dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete
thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong.
We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance.
6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the
pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and
are now faster and easier to maintain.
7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and
now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after
the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein
algorithm and should provide better overall performance.
8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup
have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed.
9) Some almost useless debugging code removed.
10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out.
The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this
backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing
object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct
in the Mach terminology.
11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused
0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended.
12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition
of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code
for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides
the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something
other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it
allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made
dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do
this, of course).
13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy
object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non-
standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its
behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will
continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics
of MAP_PRIVATE.
14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a
threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13
were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain-
ability. (As were most all of these changes)
TODO:
1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing
this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size.
2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering
information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will
substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of
VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be
improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of
contiguousness.
3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage().
It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind.
4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps
via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk
striping of regular filesystems.
5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The
fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about
how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow
for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by
other pagers).
2) Removed unnecessary vm_object_lookup()/pager_cache(object, TRUE) pairs
after vnode_pager_alloc() calls - the object is already guaranteed to be
persistent.
3) Removed some gratuitous casts.
1) Files weren't properly synced on filesystems other than UFS. In some
cases, this lead to lost data. Most likely would be noticed on NFS.
The fix is to make the VM page sync/object_clean general rather than
in each filesystem.
2) Mixing regular and mmaped file I/O on NFS was very broken. It caused
chunks of files to end up as zeroes rather than the intended contents.
The fix was to fix several race conditions and to kludge up the
"b_dirtyoff" and "b_dirtyend" that NFS relies upon - paying attention
to page modifications that occurred via the mmapping.

These changes solve the problem in a general way by moving the
initialization out of the individual fs_mountroot's and into swaponvp().

when the single user shell was terminated. These changes disallow mounting
or R/W upgrading filesystems that are dirty unless "-f" (force) option
is used with mount. /etc/rc has been modified to abort the startup if
one or more non-nfs partitions fail to mount.

I ran into another manifestation of the problem reported in PR 211 and
fixed it. Try this:
as non-root:
cd /tmp; mkdir x y x/z
as root:
chown root /tmp/x/z
as non-root:
cd /tmp/x; mv z ../y # EACCES as expected
as root:
cd /tmp/x; mv z ../y # EINVAL NOT as expected
This is because ufs_rename() sets IN_RENAME and fails to clear it.

ensue when files larger than 2GB are created. This is temporary,
and the underlying limitation will be removed later.
don't lock the vnode - it doesn't appear to ever be necessary for VCHR
vnode/inodes. This fixes a bug introduced in the previous commit that
caused tty timestamps to act strange (causing 'w' and 'finger' to show
the tty wasn't idle when it may have been for hours).
Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system.
vfs_bio.c:
Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance
by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken
logic.
Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs.
Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR).

Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine
called vfs_bio_clrbuf().

Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages.
ffs_vnops.c:
Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks.
vm_fault.c:
Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order.
vnode_pager.c:
Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This
should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting
updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is
going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES().
vm_object.c:
Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance
of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects,
but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object
pages sorted.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other
lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.
