the work is silly, and all this will be a moot point with Justin's CAM
driver, and there are still many ioctls missing -- but i need these
right now. It's silly to need to move the CD-R back to the other
drive in order to determine the session start info when burning multi-
session CD-Rs.

libraries. Remove the now-unneeded CPLUSPLUSLIB hack. I will also
remove the CPLUSPLUSLIB definitions from the Makefiles that use it,
after the dust settles.
Use gcc's LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to handle DESTDIR,
instead of -L flags in LDDESTDIR. LIBRARY_PATH is documented in
the gcc info pages. It is better than using -L flags, because it
modifies the search for start-up files as well as for libraries.
A new variable LDDESTDIRENV is used to contain the normally-empty
LIBRARY_PATH environment setting.
LDDESTDIR is no longer set in <bsd.lib.mk>. It is still honored for
the time being, because a couple of userland Makefiles still (wrongly)
set it. These should be fixed, and LDDESTDIR should vanish.
Removed the commented-out "LDDESTDIR+=-nostdlib", because "gcc -shared"
doesn't link in any standard libraries anyway.
Removed the ".if defined(LDADD)" around the _EXTRADEPEND target for
shared libraries. This target is always necessary now, because
c++rt0.o is linked into every shared library.
Don't merge this into -2.2 without first merging the support for
"gcc -shared".
ipcs -T' shows system information about shared memory,
message queues and semaphores. But the manual description does
not mention semapores.
Now it does.

. if_media support (obtained from Jason Thorpe's NetBSD implementation),
. multi-session ISO-9660 support
Move aic6[26]30 and floppy tapes out into an ``unmaintained'' subsection,
so people don't expect the same quality of support for them as for other
drivers.
Our ATAPI CD-ROM driver should no longer be considered ALPHA quality
now, i think.
. It makes cd9660 root f/s working again.
. It makes CD9660 a new-style option.
. It adds support to mount an ISO9660 multi-session CD-ROM as the root
filesystem (the last session actually, but that's what is expected
behaviour).
Sigh. The CDIOREADTOCENTRYS did a copyout() of its own, and thus has
been unusable for me for this work. Too bad it didn't simply stuff
the max 100 entries into the struct ioc_read_toc_entry, but relied on
a user supplied data buffer instead. :-( I now had to reinvent the
wheel, and created a CDIOREADTOCENTRY ioctl command that can be used
in a kernel context.
While doing this, i noticed the following bogosities in existing CD-ROM
drivers:
wcd: This driver is likely to be totally bogus when someone tries
two succeeding CDIOREADTOCENTRYS (or now CDIOREADTOCENTRY)
commands with requesting MSF format, since it apparently
operates on an internal table.
scd: This driver apparently returns just a single TOC entry only for
the CDIOREADTOCENTRYS command.
I have only been able to test the CDIOREADTOCENTRY command with the
cd(4) driver. I hereby request the respective maintainers of the
other CD-ROM drivers to verify my code for their driver. When it
comes to merging this CD-ROM multisession stuff into RELENG_2_2 i will
only consider drivers where i've got a confirmation that it actually
works.
simplifies some assumptions and stops some code compile problems.
This should fix the compile hiccup in PR#3491, but smp kernel profiling
isn't likely to be fixed by this.
".." vnode. This is cheaper storagewise than keeping it in the
namecache, and it makes more sense since it's a 1:1 mapping.
2. Also handle the case of "." more intelligently rather than stuff
the namecache with pointless entries.
3. Add two lists to the vnode and hang namecache entries which go from
or to this vnode. When cleaning a vnode, delete all namecache
entries it invalidates.
4. Never reuse namecache enties, malloc new ones when we need it, free
old ones when they die. No longer a hard limit on how many we can
have.
5. Remove the upper limit on namelength of namecache entries.
6. Make a global list for negative namecache entries, limit their number
to a sysctl'able (debug.ncnegfactor) fraction of the total namecache.
Currently the default fraction is 1/16th. (Suggestions for better
default wanted!)
7. Assign v_id correctly in the face of 32bit rollover.
8. Remove the LRU list for namecache entries, not needed. Remove the
#ifdef NCH_STATISTICS stuff, it's not needed either.
9. Use the vnode freelist as a true LRU list, also for namecache accesses.
10. Reuse vnodes more aggresively but also more selectively, if we can't
reuse, malloc a new one. There is no longer a hard limit on their
number, they grow to the point where we don't reuse potentially
usable vnodes. A vnode will not get recycled if still has pages in
core or if it is the source of namecache entries (Yes, this does
indeed work :-) "." and ".." are not namecache entries any longer...)
11. Do not overload the v_id field in namecache entries with whiteout
information, use a char sized flags field instead, so we can get
rid of the vpid and v_id fields from the namecache struct. Since
we're linked to the vnodes and purged when they're cleaned, we don't
have to check the v_id any more.
12. NFS knew about the limitation on name length in the namecache, it
shouldn't and doesn't now.
Bugs:
The namecache statistics no longer includes the hits for ".."
and "." hits.
Performance impact:
Generally in the +/- 0.5% for "normal" workstations, but
I hope this will allow the system to be selftuning over a
bigger range of "special" applications. The case where
RAM is available but unused for cache because we don't have
any vnodes should be gone.
Future work:
Straighten out the namecache statistics.
"desiredvnodes" is still used to (bogusly ?) size hash
tables in the filesystems.
I have still to find a way to safely free unused vnodes
back so their number can shrink when not needed.
There is a few uses of the v_id field left in the filesystems,
scheduled for demolition at a later time.
Maybe a one slot cache for unused namecache entries should
be implemented to decrease the malloc/free frequency.
- parse command options using getopt for consistancy
- sanitise the command parsing so that it's less like spaghetti
- implement a "-l" option (idea from NetBSD - just list names)
- attempt to clean up the sysctl parsing loop some more. It still needs
to be taken out the back and shot though.
- cut down on global usage, but there's a lot more scope for this.
- make usage string a bit closer to reality (it was missing lots of things)
Unfortunately, I did this for the second time but with the memory of
the NetBSD version still recently in my mind. It's hard to redo simple
changes or getopt stuff without making it look like what you've been
working with a few hours ago.
(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.
2) Do not compress log if SIGHUP sending failed for some reason
(f.e. pid file deleted). Newcoming messages will be lost
otherwise.
3) Misc cleanup while I am here.
found that my syslogd is now running them for several months...
Add an option to syslogd to restrict the IP addresses that are allowed
to log to this syslogd. It's too late to develop the inter-syslogd
communications protocol mentioned in the BUGS section, some 10 years
too late. Thus, restricting the IP address range is about the most
effective change we can do if we want to allow incoming syslog
messages at all.
IMHO, we should encourage the system administrators to use this option,
and thus provide a knob in /etc/rc.* for it, defaulting to -a 127.0.0.1/32
(just as a hint about the usage).
Please state opinions about whether to merge this change into 2.2 or
not (i've got it running on RELENG_2_2 anyway).
