HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.

In the current code, the locking is completely broken and may lead
easilly to deadlocks. Fix it by using the proc_mtx, linked to the
suspending thread, as lock for the operation. Keep using the
thread_lock for setting and reading the flag even if it is not entirely
necessary (atomic ops may do it as well, but this way the code is more
readable).
- Fix a deadlock within kthread_suspend().
The suspender should not sleep on a different channel wrt the suspended
thread, or, otherwise, the awaker should wakeup both. Uniform the
interface to what the kproc_* counterparts do (sleeping on the same
channel).
- Change the kthread_suspend_check() prototype.
kthread_suspend_check() always assumes curthread and must only refer to
it, so skip the thread pointer as it may be easilly mistaken.
If curthread is not a kthread, the system will panic.

function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue

Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread:
debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold
debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq
rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to
a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the

- Yacc and lex might generate code that generates warnings because of
this. Require yacc and lex to be rebuilt during bootstrap. I'm not
incrementing __FreeBSD_version here, because I assume someone else

- When running `make buildkernel', it uses share/mk from the source

break. Lower WARNS to 5 for now. We should just increment it to 6

sxlock, via the sx_{s, x}lock_sig() interface, or plain lockmgr), will
leave the waiters flag on forcing the owner to do a wakeup even when if
the waiter queue is empty.
That operation may lead to a deadlock in the case of doing a fake wakeup
on the "preferred" (based on the wakeup algorithm) queue while the other
queue has real waiters on it, because nobody is going to wakeup the 2nd
queue waiters and they will sleep indefinitively.
A similar bug, is present, for lockmgr in the case the waiters are
sleeping with LK_SLEEPFAIL on. In this case, even if the waiters queue
is not empty, the waiters won't progress after being awake but they will
just fail, still not taking care of the 2nd queue waiters (as instead the
lock owned doing the wakeup would expect).
In order to fix this bug in a cheap way (without adding too much locking
and complicating too much the semantic) add a sleepqueue interface which
does report the actual number of waiters on a specified queue of a
waitchannel (sleepq_sleepcnt()) and use it in order to determine if the
exclusive waiters (or shared waiters) are actually present on the lockmgr
(or sx) before to give them precedence in the wakeup algorithm.
This fix alone, however doesn't solve the LK_SLEEPFAIL bug. In order to
cope with it, add the tracking of how many exclusive LK_SLEEPFAIL waiters
a lockmgr has and if all the waiters on the exclusive waiters queue are
LK_SLEEPFAIL just wake both queues.
The sleepq_sleepcnt() introduction and ABI breakage require
__FreeBSD_version bumping.

cleanilinks wasn't listed in <bsd.subdir.mk>. Instead of adding it to
/sys/modules/Makefile, we'd better just add it to <bsd.subdir.mk>
directly, so we don't need to change files like /sys/modules/sound/Makefile
as well. This means you can finally clean up all those dangling symlinks
created by individual module compilation at once.
One of the things I really want to do, is to get rid of the limitations
of our current utmp(5) mechanism:
- It only allows 8 byte TTY device names.
- The hostname only allows 16 bytes of storage.
I'm not a big fan of <utmpx.h>, but I think we should at least try to
add parts of it. Unfortunately we cannot implement <utmpx.h>, because we
miss various fields, such as ut_id, ut_pid, etc. The API provided by
libulog shares some similarities with <utmpx.h>, so it shouldn't be too
hard to port these applications eventually. In most simple cases, it
should just be a matter of removing the ulog_ prefix everywhere.
As a bonus, it also implements a function called ulog_login_pseudo(),
which allows unprivileged applications to write log entries, provided
they have a valid file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device.
libulog will allow a smoother transition to a new file format by adding
a library interface to deal with utmp/wtmp/lastlog files. I initially
thought about adding the functionality to libutil, but because I'm not
planning on keeping this library around forever, we'd better keep it
separated.
Next items on the todo list:
1. Port applications in the base system (and ports) to libulog, instead
of letting them use <utmp.h>.
2. Remove <utmp.h>, implement <utmpx.h> and reimplement this library on
top.
3. Port as many applications as possible back to <utmpx.h>.
The hardware is compliant with WDRT specification, so I originally
considered including generic WDRT watchdog support, but decided
against it, because I couldn't find anyone to the code for me.
WDRT seems to be not very popular.
Besides, generic WDRT porbably requires a slightly different driver
approach.

Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:
- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.
Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.
I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.
IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):
- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.
