to or from a stack-local buffer before performing copyin() or
copyout(). A few uses, such as in cd9660 and daemon_saver, remain
under-synchronized and will require further updates.
Correct a bug in which a failed copyin() of domainname would leave
domainname potentially corrupted.

Probabilly, a general approach is not the better solution here, so we should
solve the sched_lock protection problems separately.

defined. This restores the old behavior, and eliminates the
dependency on the kernconf.tmpl when INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE isn't
included in the kernel config. There were many people in the terminal
room that had almost, but not quite, up-to-date config files that this
helps. I don't know if this is the result of skew among the cvsup
servers, or some other more subtle problem. However, this fix should
work for any config of recent vintage (I tested with the latest, and
one before the recent changes, and eye-balled the intermediate
versions).

This change will let us to have full configuration of a running kernel
available in sysctl:
sysctl -b kern.conftxt
The same configuration is also contained within the kernel image. It can be
obtained with:
config -x <kernelfile>
Current functionality lets you to quickly recover kernel configuration, by
simply redirecting output from commands presented above and starting kernel
build procedure. "include" statements are also honored, which means options
and devices from included files are also included.
Please note that comments from configuration files are not preserved by
default. In order to preserve them, you can use -C flag for config(8). This
will bring configuration file and included files literally; however,
redirection to a file no longer works directly.

both imgact_elf32.c and imgact_elf64.c, which will use the default word
size for an architecture as defined in machine/elf.h. Architectures that
wish to build an additional image activator for an alternate word size can
include either imgact_elf32.c or imgact_elf64.c in files.${ARCH}, which
allows it to be dependent on MD options instead of solely on architecture.

sysctls to MI code; this reduces code duplication and makes all of them
available on sparc64, and the latter two on powerpc.
The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.
The description field is unused in -stable, so the MFC there is equivalent
to a comment. It can be done at any time, i am just setting a reminder

pr_linux, ...)
o Generally introduce mtx_lock()/mtx_unlock() calls throughout kern/
so as to enforce these protections, in particular, in kern_mib.c
protection sysctl access to the hostname and securelevel, as well as
kern_prot.c access to the securelevel for access control purposes.
o Rewrite linux emulator abstractions for accessing per-jail linux
mib entries (osname, osrelease, osversion) so that they don't return
a pointer to the text in the struct linux_prison, rather, a copy
to an array passed into the calls. Likewise, update linprocfs to
use these primitives.
o Update in_pcb.c to always use prison_getip() rather than directly
accessing struct prison.

o Add 'regression.securelevel_nonmonotonic', conditional on 'options

of efficient regression testing of securelevel policy decisions.
Regression tests for securelevels will be committed shortly.
NOTE: 'options REGRESSION' should never be used on production machines, as
it permits violation of system invariants so as to improve the ability to
effectively test edge cases, and improve testing efficiency.

o If the securelevel is being updated, require that it be greater than

otherwise, just maximum of the global. If there is a local

o Note: this does allow local securelevels to lag behind the global one
as long as the local one is not updated following a global increase.

Tunables are now derived at boot time from maxusers. ie: change maxusers

the other tunables individually as well. Even hz etc is tunable.
been made machine independent and various other adjustments have been made
to support Alpha SMP.
- It splits the per-process portions of hardclock() and statclock() off
into hardclock_process() and statclock_process() respectively. hardclock()
and statclock() call the *_process() functions for the current process so
that UP systems will run as before. For SMP systems, it is simply necessary
to ensure that all other processors execute the *_process() functions when the
main clock functions are triggered on one CPU by an interrupt. For the alpha
4100, clock interrupts are delievered in a staggered broadcast fashion, so
we simply call hardclock/statclock on the boot CPU and call the *_process()
functions on the secondaries. For x86, we call statclock and hardclock as
usual and then call forward_hardclock/statclock in the MD code to send an IPI
to cause the AP's to execute forwared_hardclock/statclock which then call the
*_process() functions.
- forward_signal() and forward_roundrobin() have been reworked to be MI and to
involve less hackery. Now the cpu doing the forward sets any flags, etc. and
sends a very simple IPI_AST to the other cpu(s). AST IPIs now just basically
return so that they can execute ast() and don't bother with setting the
astpending or needresched flags themselves. This also removes the loop in
forward_signal() as sched_lock closes the race condition that the loop worked
around.
- need_resched(), resched_wanted() and clear_resched() have been changed to take
a process to act on rather than assuming curproc so that they can be used to
implement forward_roundrobin() as described above.
- Various other SMP variables have been moved to a MI subr_smp.c and a new
header sys/smp.h declares MI SMP variables and API's. The IPI API's from
machine/ipl.h have moved to machine/smp.h which is included by sys/smp.h.
- The globaldata_register() and globaldata_find() functions as well as the
SLIST of globaldata structures has become MI and moved into subr_smp.c.
Also, the globaldata list is only available if SMP support is compiled in.
