HIDENAME() macro seems to be unimplementable in C. (HIDENAME() used
to use invalid token pasting using ## for the STDC case until gcc
started rejecting that; now it uses unportable token pasting using
juxtaposition in all cases.) This reduces use of HIDENAME() in the
kernel to only i386 and amd64 profiling code so that it doesn't bite
most kernels whenever gcc becomes stricter. Problems with HIDENAME()
in userland are smaller because userland mostly doesn't use strict
flags yet. There are some advantages to hiding the name of mcount,
but newer arches shouldn't do it; only amd64 does.

On second thoughts hide tmpstk better by staticizing it.
- cut the version string at the newline, suppressing information about
who built the kernel and in what directory. Most of this information
was already lost to truncation.
- on i386, return the precise CPU class (if known) rather than just
"i386". Linux software which uses this information to select
which binary to run often does not know what to make of "i386".

to set np->n_size back to the desired size again after calling
nfs_meta_setsize(), since it could end up in nfs_loadattrcache() getting
called, which would change n_size back to the value it had before the
truncate request was issued. The result of this bug is that the size info
cached in the nfsnode becomes incorrect, lseek(fd, ofs, SEEK_END) seeks
past the end of the file, stat() returns the wrong size, etc.

kern.file sysctl, don't return information about processes that
fail p_cansee(td, p). This prevents sockstat and related
programs from seeing file descriptors owned by processes not
in the same jail as the thread, as well as having implications
for MAC, etc.
This is a partial solution: it permits an information leak about
the number of descriptors in the sizing calculation (but this is
not new information, you can also get it from kern.openfiles),
and doesn't attempt to mask file descriptors based on the
properties of the descriptor, only the process referencing it.
However, it provides most of what you want under most
circumstances, without complicating the locking.

for the harp(4) pseudo driver and for loadable native HARP drivers
(like hfa_pci).
To use harp(4) the rc variable natm_interfaces must be set to the
list of NATM interfaces to be used for HARP. These interfaces
will be brought up with ifconfig and the harp(4) will be loaded.
To use loadable native HARP drivers atm_load must be set to
the list of drivers to load.

Enable dhclient to poll the interface state and send only
requests if the interface has an active link. This is a
great benefit if you often change networks with your laptop
and you do not like to kill/restart dhclient all the time.
Changes are automatically detected and the link is refreshed.
The change allows us to start dhclient in background mode
while the network cable is not plugged in.
To control the polling interval, the option -i has been
introduced. It takes seconds as parameter, the minimum is
one second, the default is five seconds.
Polling is done in seconds, not microseconds, because dhclient
does internally work with timeouts in seconds.
This change will be part of the next major ISC-dhcpd release.
Tested by: bms, imp, and many many others.
