MAC support will be merged into the main tree over the next week in
reasonable size chunks; much more to follow.

pci support. This really needs to be fixed properly some day, but judging
by the fact that the nopci case hasn't compiled for quite a while, there
does not seem to be much urgency.

This driver actually works slightly better on -stable than on -current
(the system locks on detach on -current), so it should be MFC'd somewhat
sooner.
This driver currently points out a difficulty in the sound device framework.
The PCM unregister routine is allowed to refuse the detach if the device is
in use. In the case of a USB device, however, this unregistration is much more
mandatory in nature, since the device is *actually* gone when this call is
made. The sound subsystem really should not refuse an unregistration and
should take its own steps to reject further I/O. As a result, if you detach
a USB sound device while it is in use, you can expect a panic shortly
thereafter.
This device cannot currently record audio. Some routines are unwritten as
of yet in uaudio.c to support recording.
This device hangs my -current box on detach. I don't know why. This does
not happen on my -stable machine.

handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.
Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

administrator to define certain properties of new devfs nodes before
they become visible to the userland. Both static (e.g., /dev/speaker)
and dynamic (e.g., /dev/bpf*, some removable devices) nodes are
supported. Each DEVFS mount may have a different ruleset assigned to
it, permitting different policies to be implemented for things like
jails.

one out of a block cipher. This has 2 advantages:
1) The code is _much_ simpler
2) We aren't committing our security to one algorithm (much as we
may think we trust AES).
While I'm here, make an explicit reseed do a slow reseed instead
of a fast; this is in line with what the original paper suggested.
-finstrument-functions instead of -mprofiler-epilogue. The former
works essentially the same as the latter but has a higher overhead
(about 22 more bytes per function for passing unused args to the
profiling functions).
Removed all traces of the IDENT Makefile variable, which had been
reduced to just a place for holding profiling's contribution to CFLAGS
(the IDENT that gives the kernel identity was renamed to KERN_IDENT).
(PROFLEVEL) to kern.pre.mk so that it is easier to manage. Bumped config
version to match.
Moved the check for cputype being configured to a less bogus place in
mkmakefile.c.
- It actually works this time, honest!
- Fine grained TLB shootdowns for SMP on i386. IPI's are very expensive,
so try and optimize things where possible.
- Introduce ranged shootdowns that can be done as a single IPI.
- PG_G support for i386
- Specific-cpu targeted shootdowns. For example, there is no sense in
globally purging the TLB cache for where we are stealing a page from
the local unshared process on the local cpu. Use pm_active to track
this.
- Add some instrumentation for the tlb shootdown code.
- Rip out SMP code from <machine/cpufunc.h>
- Try and fix some very bogus PG_G and PG_PS interactions that were bad
enough to cause vm86 bios calls to break. vm86 depended on our existing
bugs and this was the cause of the VESA panics last time.
- Fix the silly one-line error that caused the 'panic: bad pte' last time.
- Fix a couple of other silly one-line errors that should have caused more
pain than they did.
Some more work is needed:
- pmap_{zero,copy}_page[_idle]. These can be done without IPI's if we
have a hook in cpu_switch.
- The IPI handlers need some cleanup. I have a bogus %ds load that can
be avoided.
- APTD handling is rather bogus and appears to be a large source of
global TLB IPI shootdowns for no really good reason.
I see speedups of between 1.5% and ~4% on buildworlds in a while 1 loop.
I expect to see a bigger difference when there is significant pageout
activity or the system otherwise has memory shortages.
I have backed out a few optimizations that I had been using over the last
few days in order to be a little more conservative. I'll revisit these
again over the next few days as the dust settles.
New option: DISABLE_PG_G - In case I missed something.
