This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Firstly, now our read-ahead clustering is on a file descriptor basis and not
on a per-vnode basis. This will allow multiple processes reading the
same file to take advantage of read-ahead clustering. Secondly, there
previously was a problem with large reads still using the ramp-up
algorithm. Of course, that was bogus, and now we read the entire
"chunk" off of the disk in one operation. The read-ahead clustering
algorithm should use less CPU than the previous also (I hope :-)).
NOTE: THAT LKMS MUST BE REBUILT!!!
Broke locking on named pipes in the same way as locking on non-vnodes
(wrong errno). This will be fixed later.
The fix involves negative logic. Named pipes are now distinguished from
other types of files with vnodes, and there is additional code to handle
vnodes and named pipes in the same way only where that makes sense (not
for lseek, locking or TIOCSCTTY).
Fixes unp_externalize panic which occurs when a process is at it's
ulimit for file descriptors and tries to receive a file descriptor from
another process.

Made the devfs `fd' devices bug for bug compatible with the ones created
by MAKEDEV:
- ownership is bin.bin, not root.wheel, except for std*. The devfsext
interface doesn't seem to allow specifying the ownership of /devfs/fd,
so it's still incompatible.
- std* aren't links to fd/[0-2].
kern_fork.c: add the tiny bit of code for rfork operation.
kern/sysv_*: shmfork() takes one less arg, it was never used.
sys/shm.h: drop "isvfork" arg from shmfork() prototype
sys/param.h: declare rfork args.. (this is where OpenBSD put it..)
sys/filedesc.h: protos for fdshare/fdcopy.
vm/vm_mmap.c: add minherit code, add rounding to mmap() type args where
it makes sense.
vm/*: drop unused isvfork arg.
Note: this rfork() implementation copies the address space mappings,
it does not connect the mappings together. ie: once the two processes
have split, the pages may be shared, but the address space is not. If one
does a mmap() etc, it does not appear in the other. This makes it not
useful for pthreads, but it is useful in it's own right for having
light-weight threads in a static shared address space.

fixes for previous version of new pipes from Bruce Evans. This
new version:
Supports more properly the semantics of select (BDE).
Supports "OLD_PIPE" correctly (kern_descrip.c, BDE).
Eliminates incorrect EPIPE returns (bash 'pipe broken' messages.)
Much faster yet, currently tuned relatively conservatively -- but now
gives approx 50% more perf than the new pipes code did originally.
(That was about 50% more perf than the original BSD pipe code.)
Known bugs outstanding:
No support for async io (SIGIO). Will be included soon.
Next to do:
Merge support for FIFOs.

most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
Move a lot of variables home to their own code (In good time before xmas :-)
Introduce the string descrition of format.
Add a couple more functions to poke into these marvels, while I try to
decide what the correct interface should look like.
Next is adding vars on the fly, and sysctl looking at them too.
Removed a tine bit of defunct and #ifdefed notused code in swapgeneric.
That's EVERY SINGLE driver that has an entry in conf.c..
my next trick will be to define cdevsw[] and bdevsw[]
as empty arrays and remove all those DAMNED defines as well..
Each of these drivers has a SYSINIT linker set entry
that comes in very early.. and asks teh driver to add it's own
entry to the two devsw[] tables.
some slight reworking of the commits from yesterday (added the SYSINIT
stuff and some usually wrong but token DEVFS entries to all these
devices.
BTW does anyone know where the 'ata' entries in conf.c actually reside?
seems we don't actually have a 'ataopen() etc...
If you want to add a new device in conf.c
please make sure I know
so I can keep it up to date too..
as before, this is all dependent on #if defined(JREMOD)
(and #ifdef DEVFS in parts)
structs and prototypes for syscalls.
Ifdefed duplicated decentralized declarations of args structs. It's
convenient to have this visible but they are hard to maintain. Some
are already different from the central declarations. 4.4lite2 puts
them in comments in the function headers but I wanted to avoid the
large changes for that.
Prototypes are located in <sys/sysproto.h>.
Add appropriate #include <sys/sysproto.h> to files that needed
protos from systm.h.
Add structure definitions to appropriate files that relied on sys/systm.h,
right before system call definition, as in the rest of the kernel source.
In kern_prot.c, instead of using the dummy structure "args", create
individual dummy structures named <syscall>_args. This makes
life easier for prototype generation.
via sysctl(8). The initial value of maxprocperuid is maxproc-1,
that of maxfilesperproc is maxfiles (untill maxfile will disappear)
Now it is at least possible to prohibit one user opening maxfiles

cycles. While waiting there I added a lot of the extra ()'s I have, (I have
never used LISP to any extent). So I compiled the kernel with -Wall and
shut up a lot of "suggest you add ()'s", removed a bunch of unused var's
and added a couple of declarations here and there. Having a lap-top is
highly recommended. My kernel still runs, yell at me if you kernel breaks.
