format modules, which are currently only used on the amd64 platform.
This initial implementation just parses enough of the module to
allow it to extract dependencies and load all the bits into the
right place in memory, so the kernel must still do the full relocation
and linking. The details of the loaded sections are passed to the
kernel by supplying a copy of the ELF section header table as module
metadata with the MODINFOMD_SHDR tag.
better relocation support for the amd64 and i386 platforms. This
should not result in any change in functionality, but moves a step
towards supporting the relocatable object file modules on amd64.
The same hack/trick as load_elf*.c uses is used here to simultaneously
support both elf32 and elf64 on amd64 and i386.

will cause the network stack to operate without the Giant lock by
default. This change has the potential to improve performance by
increasing parallelism and decreasing latency in network processing.
Due to the potential exposure of existing or new bugs, the following
compatibility functionality is maintained:
- It is still possible to disable Giant-free operation by setting
debug.mpsafenet to 0 in loader.conf.
- Add "options NET_WITH_GIANT", which will restore the default value of
debug.mpsafenet to 0, and is intended for use on systems compiled with
known unsafe components, or where a more conservative configuration is
desired.
- Add a new declaration, NET_NEEDS_GIANT("componentname"), which permits
kernel components to declare dependence on Giant over the network
stack. If the declaration is made by a preloaded module or a compiled
in component, the disposition of debug.mpsafenet will be set to 0 and
a warning concerning performance degraded operation printed to the
console. If it is declared by a loadable kernel module after boot, a
warning is displayed but the disposition cannot be changed. This is
implemented by defining a new SYSINIT() value, SI_SUB_SETTINGS, which
is intended for the processing of configuration choices after tunables
are read in and the console is available to generate errors, but
before much else gets going.
This compatibility behavior will go away when we've finished the last
of the locking work and are confident that operation is correct.
Previously, it would recognize it as a valid shell only
if the basename (nologin) was specified. Now, it will
recognize both the basename and the full path.
NOTE: The full path as adduser(8) understands it is /usr/sbin/nologin.
There is a symlink, /sbin/nologin, but that's deprecated and
only there for backwards compatibility.
ru_RU.CP866.src, the previous version of this file contained a strange

This way of operation is more robust than the "AI" used
before.
Add flags to mbr accessible from make.conf as BOOT_MBR_FLAGS.
Only one flag is defined now, "allow using packet mode", which
is 0x80 in accord with the rest of i386 boot code. The "packet"
flag is on by default.

from list_net_interfaces() when network_interfaces=auto.
Rationale: Since the auto case is special, the lesser evil
had to be chosen among not adding cloned interfaces to
_tmplist or removing duplicates from _tmplist after adding
cloned interfaces. Since list_net_interfaces() must not use
/usr/bin tools, the former "evil" appeared clearer and much
more efficient. (See the PR audit trail for discussion.)

o Add MOUSE_PS2_TAP into syncmask[0] correctly when we're built with
PSM_CONFIG_FORCETAP. The previous code from revision 1.56 attempted
to do this but updated the a mask variable that would be clobbered later.
o If syncmask[1] hasn't yet been set when ioctl(MOUSE_GETMODE) is called,
zero syncmask[0] and syncmask[1] so that sync validation is effectively
disabled in userland applications and moused doesn't misbehave. The
psm driver performs sync validation so there is no loss in functionality
in clearing the sync mask.
o If PSM_NEED_SYNCBITS is set, setup syncmask[1], even if it's already
correct. This prevents the PSM_NEED_SYNCBITS bit from being left on
after a re-initialisation and erroneously causing a subsequent
out-of-sync packet to mis-set syncmask[1].
o Remove PSM_SYNCERR_THRESHOLD1. This value specified how many sync
errors were required before the mouse is re-initialised.
Re-initialisation is now done after (packetsize * 2) sync errors as
things aren't likely to improve after that.
o Reset lastinputerror when re-initialisation occurs. We don't want
to continue to drop data after re-initialisation.
o Count the number of failed packets independently of the syncerrors
statistic. syncerrors is useful for recovering sync within a single
packet. pkterrors allows us to detect when the mouse changes its
packet mode due to some external event (e.g. KVM switch).
o Reinitialize the mouse if we see more than psmpkterrthresh errors
during the validation period. The validation period begins as soon
as a sync error is detected and continues until psmerrsecs/msecs
time has elapsed. The defaults for these two values force a reset
if we see two packet errors in a 2 second period. This allows rapid
detection of packet framing errors caused by the mouse changing packet
modes.
o Export psmpkterrthresh as a sysctl
o Export psmloglevel as a sysctl.
o Enable more debugging code to be enabled at runtime via psmloglevel.
o Simplify verbose conditioned loging by using a VLOG macro.
o Add several comments describing the sync recovery algorithm of
this driver.
