The problem with fcntl(2) locks is that they are not inherited by child
processes. This breaks pidfile(3), where the common idiom is to open
and lock the PID file before daemonizing.
lots of new features compared to 9.4.x, including:
Full NSEC3 support
Automatic zone re-signing
New update-policy methods tcp-self and 6to4-self
DHCID support.
More detailed statistics counters including those supported in BIND 8.
Faster ACL processing.
Efficient LRU cache-cleaning mechanism.
NSID support.
Last year I added SLIST_REMOVE_NEXT and STAILQ_REMOVE_NEXT, to remove
entries behind an element in the list, using O(1) time. I recently
discovered NetBSD also has a similar macro, called SLIST_REMOVE_AFTER.
In my opinion this approach is a lot better:
- It doesn't have the unused first argument of the list pointer. I added
this, mainly because OpenBSD also had it.
- The _AFTER suffix makes a lot more sense, because it is related to
SLIST_INSERT_AFTER. _NEXT is only used to iterate through the list.
The reason why I want to rename this now, is to make sure we don't
release a major version with the badly named macros.
by creating a child jail, which is visible to that jail and to any
parent jails. Child jails may be restricted more than their parents,
but never less. Jail names reflect this hierarchy, being MIB-style
dot-separated strings.
Every thread now points to a jail, the default being prison0, which
contains information about the physical system. Prison0's root
directory is the same as rootvnode; its hostname is the same as the
global hostname, and its securelevel replaces the global securelevel.
Note that the variable "securelevel" has actually gone away, which
should not cause any problems for code that properly uses
securelevel_gt() and securelevel_ge().
Some jail-related permissions that were kept in global variables and
set via sysctls are now per-jail settings. The sysctls still exist for
backward compatibility, used only by the now-deprecated jail(2) system
call.

Upgrade of the tzcode from 2004a to 2009e.
Changes are numerous, but include...
- New format of the output of zic, which supports both 32 and 64
bit time_t formats.
- zdump on 64 bit platforms will actually produce some output instead
of doing nothing for a looooooooong time.
- linux_base-fX, with X >= at least 8, will work without problems related
to the local time again.
The original patch, based on the 2008e, has been running for a long
time on both my laptop and desktop machine and have been tested by
other people.
After the installation of this code and the running of zic(8), you
need to run tzsetup(8) again to install the new datafile.

to eliminate some duplicated code. In particular,
archive_read_open_filename() has different close
handling than archive_read_open_fd(), so delegating
the former to the latter in the degenerate case
(a NULL filename is treated as stdin) broke reading
from pipelines. In particular, this fixes occasional
port failures that were seen when using "gunzip | tar"
pipelines under /bin/csh.
Thanks to Alexey Shuvaev for reporting this failure and
patiently helping me to track down the cause.
The entire world seems to use the non-standard TIOCSCTTY ioctl to make a
TTY a controlling terminal of a session. Even though tcsetsid(3) is also
non-standard, I think it's a lot better to use in our own source code,
mainly because it's similar to tcsetpgrp(), tcgetpgrp() and tcgetsid().
I stole the idea from QNX. They do it the other way around; their
TIOCSCTTY is just a wrapper around tcsetsid(). tcsetsid() then calls
into an IPC framework.
