regular user could panic the machine with a simple "tail /proc/curproc/mem"
command. The problem was twofold: both kernfs and procfs didn't fill in
the mnt_stat statfs struct (which would later lead to an integer divide
fault in the vnode pager), and kernfs bogusly paniced if a bmap was
attempted.

if the 'time on a node is 0,..
tell the world it is the same as 'boottime'.
This is becasue 'time' is not set up when we create the nodes,
so we can't set them then.
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).
(various)
Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine
called vfs_bio_clrbuf().
(various FS sync)
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.
VFCF_NETWORK (this FS goes over the net)
VFCF_READONLY (read-write mounts do not make any sense)
VFCF_SYNTHETIC (data in this FS is not real)
VFCF_LOOPBACK (this FS aliases something else)
cd9660 is readonly; nullfs, umapfs, and union are loopback; NFS is netowkr;
procfs, kernfs, and fdesc are synthetic.
Find enclosed a short bugfix to get the union filesystem up and running
in FreeBSD-current. We don't think we've got all the problems yet but
these fixes sort out the major ones (which mostly concert bad locking
of vnodes), no doubt we'll post others as necessary. Known problems
include the inability of the umount command (not the system call) to unmount
unions in certain circumstances (this is due the way "realpath" works),
and the failure of direntries to always get all available files in
unioned subdirectories. We are, as they say, working on it.

- Make a number of filesystems work again when they are statically compiled
(blush)
- FIFOs are no longer optional; ``options FIFO'' removed from distributed
config files.
- set args->lkm_offset correctly so that VFS modules can be unloaded
- initialize _fs_vfsops.vfc_refcount correctly so that VFS modules can
be unloaded
- include kernel.h in a few placves to get the correct definition of DATA_SET
use of timeout_t -> timeout_func_t in aha1542 and aha1742 drivers.
2) fix a bug in the portalfs that was uncovered by better prototyping -
specifically, the time must be converted from timeval to timespec
before storing in va_atime.
3) fixed/added some miscellaneous prototypes
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
