dangerous than the original MNT_ASYNC. There might be some minor
security considerations due to data writes not being posted as promptly
as before. Meta-data operations are still not quite as fast as Linux,
but streaming I/O is still higher.

tty_conf.c:
Cleaned up formatting of tables.
Removed another ARGSUSED for consistency.
conf.h:
Introduced typedefs for line discipline functions.
Backed out most of previous revision (it is done elsewhere).
to <machine/conf.h>. conf.h was mechanically generated by
`grep ^d_ conf.c >conf.h'. This accounts for part of its ugliness. The
prototypes should be moved back to the driver sources when the functions
are staticalized.
(maximum size of a socket buffer) tunable.
Permit callers of listen(2) to specify a negative backlog, which
is translated into somaxconn. Previously, a negative backlog was
silently translated into 0.
civilised manner than panicing. This only happens as a result of another
state botch somewhere else, eg: from a tty driver calling putc or b_to_q
on a closed device. Apparently, it's also been implicated in a panic
with a status (^T) event on ptys.
This change should pretty well be in it's final form now.
set in open() when CLOCAL is set unless carrier is present.
Fixed initialization of line discipline. It lived across opens.
Lines that started with the wrong discipline probably didn't work
at all, because TS_ISOPEN is only set by TTYDISC.
non-fatal. I've make it return an appropriate error to the caller instead
of panic()ing.
Handling an error condition is inherently more friendly than exploding
the kernel.. :-) The new behavior is a little closer to traditional
clists, potentially making porting a little simpler.
Suggested by: bde (many months ago, I've been using this for a while..)
The goal is to make them "user-friendly" :-)
In the end this will allow a SNMP style "getnext" function, sysctl editing
in the boot-editor and/or debugger, LKMs can define sysctl vars when
they get loaded, and remove them when unloaded and other interesting
uses for dynamic sysctl variables.
PR 795.
Set the size before one error return from sysctl_vnode() the same as before
the other. The caller might want to know about the amount successfully
read although the current caller doesn't.
at the end of each write for writes of more than 1K.
Fixed handling of residual count for early returns in writes to pty masters.
It was only adjusted in 2 out of 6 cases.
Added prototypes.
TTYHOG = 1024 bytes, 10 cblocks were reserved. This was thought to
provide 10 * CBSIZE = 1080 bytes of buffering, but if the head pointer
is at the end of a cblock, then it only provides 1 + 9 * CBSIZE = 973
bytes of buffering. This caused serious data loss for ptys because the
flow control is deterministic and requires at least TTYHOG bytes of
buffering. For ttys, if input flow control is used then there is
usually enough slop in the high watermark to avoid problems, and if
input flow control isn't used then a limit of 973 is not much different
from a limit of 1024.
Add prototypes.
Continue cleaning up new init stuff.
the !COMPAT_43 case - use a common function even when there is no
`old' function. The diffs for this are large because of code motion
to restore the function order to what it was before the pseudo-argument
changes.
Include <sys/sysproto.h> to get correct args structs and prototypes.
The diffs for this are large because the declarations of the args structs
were moved to become comments in the function headers. The comments may
actually match the automatically generated declarations right now.
Add prototypes.
filesystem layer, as was done in lite-2. Merged in some other cosmetic
changes while I was at it. Rewrote most of msdosfs_access() to be more
like ufs_access() and to include the FS read-only check.
Obtained from: partially from 4.4BSD-lite2
prototypes for all syscalls. The args structs are still declared in
comments as in VOP implementation functions. I don't like the
duplication for this, but several more layers of changes are required
to get it right. First we need to catch up with 4.4lite2, which uses
macros to handle struct padding. Then we need to catch up with NetBSD,
which passes the args correctly (as void *). Then we need to handle
varargs functions and struct padding better. I think all the details
can be hidden in machine-generated functions so that the args structs
and verbose macros to reference them don't have to appear in the core
sources.
Add prototypes.
Add bogus casts to hide the evil type puns exposed by the previous
steps. &uap[1] was used to get at the args after the first. This
worked because only the first arg in *uap was declared. This broke
when the machine- genenerated args struct declared all the args
(actually it declares extra args in some cases and depends on the
user stack having some accessible junk after the last arg, not to
mention the user args being on the stack. It isn't possible to
declare a correct args struct for a varargs syscall). The msgsys(),
semsys() and shmsys() syscall interfaces are BAD because they
multiplex several syscalls that have different types of args.
There was no reason to duplicate this sysv braindamage but now
we're stuck with it. NetBSD has reimplemented the syscalls properly
as separate syscalls #220-231.
Declare static functions as static in both their prototype and their
implementation (the latter is optional, and this misfeature was used).
Remove gratuitous #includes.
Continue cleaning up new init stuff.
valid bytes, we must also clear the B_DONE flag. Some filesystems
depend on this (incl NFS) and is probably the cause of the biodone
error and subsequent crash. Anyway this change needs to be made.
Add SA_NODEFER define to signal.h
Add ps_nodefer field to struct sigacts in signalvar.h.
Add code to kern_sig.c to handle SA_NODEFER.
If flag is set, when the signal is delivered, it is not masked automatically
from receiving the same signal again.

option DDB_NO_LCALLS to stop ddb getting control and broke all ddb
tracing. Now there is no option and no way for ddb to trace at
address _Xsyscall or to _Xsyscall, but tracing everywhere else
works. The previous fix did unnecessary things for Linux syscalls.
Don't bother checking that syscall frames are for user mode.
Make debugger traps inside the kernel (except at addresses _Xsyscall
and _Xsyscall+1) fatal if ddb is not configured. They "can't happen".
Add prototypes.
Remove stupid comments, e.g., /*ARGSUSED*/ for args that are used.
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.
Add CPT_NOA type which is COMPAT with NOARGS -- do not produce argument
struct in sysproto.
Change accept, recvfrom, getsockname to CPT_NOA type.
Fix getrlimit, setrlimit argument #2 name to struct rlimit.
Instead of using a fake "compat" argument, pass a real compat int to function
if COMPAT_43 is defined. Functions involved: wait4, accept, recvfrom,
getsockname.
With the compat psuedo-argument, this introduces an argument structure
that can have two possible sizes depending on compat options.
This makes life difficult for lkm modules like ibcs2, which would
have to guess what size used in kernel when compiled. Also,
the prototype generator for these structures cannot generate proper sizes.
Now there is only one fixed structure and makes everybody happy.
I recommend these changes be introduced to 2.1 so that ibcs2, linux
lkm's generated for 2.2 can still run on a 2.1 kernel.
o optional config-file to set vars: sysnames, sysproto, sysproto_h,
syshdr, syssw, syshide, syscallprefix, switchname, namesname, sysvec.
o change syntax of syscalls.master entry:
remove argument count.
add pseudo-prototype field defining function name and arguments.
o generates correct structure definitions for all system calls
in sys/sysproto.h
o add type NOARGS: same as STD except do not create structure in
sys/sysproto.h
o add type NOPROTO: same as STD except do not create structure or function
prototype in sys/sysproto.h
New functionality provides complete prototype definitions.
Usefull for generating files for emulated systems like my new ibcs2 code.
Update syscalls.master to reflect new changes. For example, read()
entry now looks like:
3 STD POSIX { int ibcs2_read(int fd, char *buf, u_int nbytes); }
This is similar to how NetBSD generates these files.

1. stepping over syscalls (gdb ni) sends you to DDB, and returned

support for EXT2FS. Note that the Sig-11 problems appear to be caused by
this, but there is still probably an underlying VM problem that let this
clustering bug cause vnode objects to appear to be corrupted.
The direct manifestation of this bug would have been severely mis-read
files. It is possible that processes would Sig-11 on very damaged
input files and might explain the mysterious differences in system
behaviour when phk's malloc is being used.

Don't put $Id in generated files.
kern/syscalls.master:
I had to add some new fields to describe some non-orthogonal names.
E.g., the args struct for the syscall-implementing function foo()
is usually named `foo_args', but for getpid() it is named `args'.
sys/sysent.h:
sy_call_t is still incomplete to hide a couple of warnings.
