goal of shipping 8.0 with MAC support in the default kernel. No policies
will be compiled in or enabled by default, but it will now be possible to
load them at boot or runtime without a kernel recompile.
While the framework is not believed to impose measurable overhead when no
policies are loaded (a result of optimization over the past few months in
HEAD), we'll continue to benchmark and optimize as the release approaches.
Please keep an eye out for performance or functionality regressions that
could be a result of this change.

possible future I-cache coherency operation can succeed. On ARM
for example the L1 cache can be (is) virtually mapped, which
means that any I/O that uses temporary mappings will not see the
I-cache made coherent. On ia64 a similar behaviour has been
observed. By flushing the D-cache, execution of binaries backed
by md(4) and/or NFS work reliably.
For Book-E (powerpc), execution over NFS exhibits SIGILL once in
a while as well, though cpu_flush_dcache() hasn't been implemented
yet.
Doing an explicit D-cache flush as part of the non-DMA based I/O
read operation eliminates the need to do it as part of the
I-cache coherency operation itself and as such avoids pessimizing
the DMA-based I/O read operations for which D-cache are already
flushed/invalidated. It also allows future optimizations whereby
the bcopy() followed by the D-cache flush can be integrated in a
single operation, which could be implemented using on-chips DMA
engines, by-passing the D-cache altogether.

2) Add a new flag BI_BRAND_NOTE that indicates that the brand_note pointer
is valid.
3) Use the brand_note field if the flag BI_BRAND_NOTE is set and as old
modules won't have the flag set, so the new field brand_note would be

being switched out may hold a reservation. The stwcx. will
clear the reservation. This is architecturally recommended.
The scenario this addresses is as follows:
1. Thread 1 performs a lwarx and as such holds a reservation.
2. Thread 1 gets switched out (before doing the matching
stwcx.) and thread 2 is switched in.
3. Thread 2 performs a stwcx. to the same reservation granule.
This will succeed because the processor has the reservation
even though thread 2 didn't do the lwarx.
Note that on some processors the address given the stwcx. is
not checked. On these processors the mere condition of having
a reservation would cause the stwcx. to succeed, irrespective
of whether the addresses are the same. The dummy stwcx. is
especially important for those processors.

chunks, as well as handle memory mappings used during

the PMAP layer can choose to return physical memory
chunks or virtual memory chunks. For minidumps, the
chunks should be virtual.
The default MMU I/F implementation for the scan_md()
method returns NULL. Thus, when a PMAP implementation
does not implement the required methods, an empty
core file is created. Here, empty means having an ELF
header only.

When copying big structures, LLVM generates calls to memmove(), because
it may not be able to figure out whether structures overlap. This caused
linker errors to occur. memmove() is now implemented using bcopy().
Ideally it would be the other way around, but that can be solved in the
future. On ARM we don't do add anything, because it already has
memmove().
