semicolons from the end of macros:
#define FOO() bar(a,b,c);
becomes
#define FOO() bar(a,b,c)
Thus requiring the semicolon in the invocation of FOO. This is much
cleaner syntax and more consistent with expectations when writing
function-like things in source.
With both peril-sensitive sunglasses and flame-proof undies on, tighten
up some types, and work around some warnings generated by this. There
are some _horrible_ const/non-const issues in this code.
This represents the original standardization of the following functions
and headers:
popen()
<regex.h>: regcomp(), regexec(), regerror(), regfree()
<fnmatch.h>: fnmatch()
getopt(), optarg, optind, opterr, optopt
<glob.h>: glob()
<wordexp.h>: wordexp(), wordfree()
confstr()
and a cluster in one shot.
o Introduce MBP_PERSIST and MBP_PERSISTENT control bits to mb_alloc();
MBP_PERSIST means "if you can allocate, then keep the cache lock
held on exit," and MBP_PERSISTENT means "a cache lock is alredy held
on entry, so allocate from the specified (already locked) cache."
They may be used in combination.
o m_getcl() uses the MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT interface so that it
doesn't drop the cache lock in between the mbuf and cluster allocations.
o m_getm(), which takes a size and allocates an mbuf + cluster "best fit"
chain, has been moved from uipc_mbuf.c to subr_mbuf.c and shown how to
use MBP_PERSIST/MBP_PERSISTENT to attempt to do a grouped allocation
without dropping the cache lock in between.
Why this is good: much less bus-locked lock acquires/drops when they're
not needed. Also, prototype for m_getcl():
struct mbuf * m_getcl(int how, short type, int flags);
"how" and "type" are self-explanatory. "flags" may be M_PKTHDR, in
which case m_getcl() will make the mbuf a pkthdr-mbuf.
While I'm in subr_mbuf.c:
o Every exported routine now has a nice comment with a description of
the expected arguments. Eventually, mbuf(9) needs to be re-vamped
but there's still more code to write/finalize before I get to that.
o internal macros have been changed a bit.
o consistently use 'short' for "type." This somehow slipped through
before (that 'type' was sometimes declared as int).
Alfred has been pushing for the MBP_PERSIST{,ENT} thing for almost a
year now. Luigi asked for m_getcl(), and will probably MFC that
part of this commit.
TODO [Related]: teach mb_free() about MBP_PERSIST{, ENT}.
because the previous interface handle gets freed when the config
number is set. This fixes a problem where memory could be accessed
after it was freed when the interface was ifconfig'd up.

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.
