ethernet controllers. This adds support for the 3Com 3c996-T, the
SysKonnect SK-9D21 and SK-9D41, and the built-in gigE NICs on
Dell PowerEdge 2550 servers. The latter configuration hauls ass:
preliminary measurements show TCP speeds of over 900Mbps using
only normal size frames.
TCP/IP checksum offload, jumbo frames and VLAN tag insertion/stripping
are supported, as well as interrupt moderation.
Still need to fix autonegotiation support for 1000baseSX NICs, but
beyond that, driver is pretty solid.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

o Introduce private types for use in linux syscalls for two reasons:
1. establish type independence for ease in porting and,
2. provide a visual queue as to which syscalls have proper
prototypes to further cleanup the i386/alpha split.
Linuxulator types are prefixed by 'l_'. void and char have not
been "virtualized".
o Provide dummy functions for all syscalls and remove dummy functions
or implementations of truely obsolete syscalls.
o Sanitize the shm*, sem* and msg* syscalls.
o Make a first attempt to implement the linux_sysctl syscall. At this
time it only returns one MIB (KERN_VERSION), but most importantly,
it tells us when we need to add additional sysctls :-)
o Bump the kenel version up to 2.4.2 (this is not the same as the
KERN_VERSION MIB, BTW).
o Implement new syscalls, of which most are specific to i386. Our
syscall table is now up to date with Linux 2.4.2. Some highlights:
- Implement the 32-bit uid_t and gid_t bases syscalls.
- Implement a couple of 64-bit file size/offset bases syscalls.
o Fix or improve numerous syscalls and prototypes.
o Reduce style(9) violations while I'm here. Especially indentation
inconsistencies within the same file are addressed. Re-indenting
did not obfuscate actual changes to the extend that it could not
be combined.
NOTE: I spend some time testing these changes and found that if there
were regressions, they were not caused by these changes AFAICT.
It was observed that installing a RH 7.1 runtime environment
did make matters worse. Hangs and/or reboots have been observed
with and without these changes, so when it failed to make life
better in cases it doesn't look like it made it worse.
the cwd is looked up inside the kernel. The native getcwd() in libc
handles this in userland if __getcwd() fails.

PR: kern/24315
blown over by the Hurricane and had a house dropped on you by the Tornado.
Now it's time to have your parade rained on by... the Typhoon!
This commit adds driver support for 3Com 3cR990 10/100 ethernet
adapters based on the Typhoon I and Typhoon II chipsets. This is actually
a port of the OpenBSD driver with many hacks by me.
No Virginia, there isn't any support for the hardware crypto yet. However
there is support for TCP/IP checksum offload and VLANs.
Special thanks go to Jason Wright, Aaron Campbell and Theo de Raadt for
squeezing enough info out of 3Com to get this written, and for doing
most of the hard work.
Manual page is included. Compiled as a module and included in GENERIC.
it may be plugged into a kernel that supports VLANs. If the kernel is
not VLAN aware, things will still work as before.
Modules don't really have option support, so this is somewhat of a hack.
- All sources are built in a single object, reducing namespace pollution.
- Kill the ready queue, and handle a busy response to mly_start in callers
rather than deferring the command.
- Improve our interaction with CAM:
- Don't advertise physical channels as SCSI busses by default.
- use the SIM queue freeze capability rather than queueing CDBs internally.
- force bus reprobe at module load time.
- Clean up more resources in mly_free.
- Tidy up debugging levels.
- Tidy up handling of events (mostly just code cleanliness).
- Use explanatory macros for operations on bus/target/channel numbers.
- Move the lance_probe function to if_lnc.c.
- Support C-NET(98)S again.

a KLD. Still doesn't work well except in the PCMCIA case (now if only
pccardd(8) could load and unload drivers dynamically...). Mainly, it
tries to find fdc0 on the PCI bus for whatever obscure reasons, but i
need someone who understands driver(9) to fix this. However, it's at least
already better than before, and i'm tired of maintaining too many private
changes in my tree, given the large patches bde submitted. :)
