General
-------
- Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe
* Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c,
feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that
using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little
endian.
* Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in
the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_*
* Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling,
but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier.
- Low latency operation
* Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver,
but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within
channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various
combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct
SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar
to what commercial 4front driver do.
* Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not
result long delay.
* Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small.
DIY:
1) Download / extract
http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz
2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and
"for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done"
- there should be no "perceivable" differences.
Double close for PR kern/31445.
CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly
written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter
by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most.

- Switch minimum/maximum sampling rate limit to "1" and "2016000" (48k * 42)
due to closer compatibility with 4front driver.

- All driver specific sysctls in the form of "hw.snd.pcm%d.*" have been
moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, notably:
hw.snd.pcm%d.vchans -> dev.pcm.%d.vchans
Bump __FreeBSD_version.
Driver specific
---------------
- Ditto for sysctls.
- snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_via8233, snd_hda
* Numerous cleanups and fixes.
* _EXPERIMENTAL_ polling mode support using simple callout_* mechanisme.
This was intended for pure debugging and latency measurement, but proven
good enough in few unexpected and rare cases (such as problematic shared
IRQ with GIANT devices - USB). Polling can be enabled/disabled through
dev.pcm.0.polling. Disabled by default.
- snd_ich
* Fix possible overflow during speed calibration. Delay final
initialization (pcm_setstatus) after calibration finished.

Thanks to various people, notably Joel Dahl, Yuriy Tsibizov, Kevin Oberman,
those at #freebsd-azalia @ freenode and others for testing.
Joel Dahl will do the manpage update.
traditional shortcut of defining on-disk layouts using structures of
character arrays. Unfortunately, as recently discussed on cvs-all@,
this usage is not actually sanctioned by the standards and
specifically fails on GCC/arm (unless your data structures happen to
be "naturally aligned").
The new code defines offsets/sizes for data fields and accesses
them using explicit pointer arithmetic, instead of casting to
a structure and accessing structure fields. In particular,
the new code is now clean with WARNS=6 on arm.

Remove the cdevsw() function which is now unused.
(the log is wrong, it was really devsw that was removed).
# we really need to actually document the functions in sys/conf.h as well
# as things like d_open...
to add a reference to it; otherwise, we could later access
a freed memory. This is believed to fix panics some users
were observing when running route6d(8), and is similar to
the fix in sys/netinet/if_ether.c,v 1.139 by glebius@.

1. When downloading metadata files, make sure we only download each
file once; without this fix, "freebsd-update fetch" will fail the first
time it is run if there have been no updates yet for the installed
release.
2. If the FOO kernel is installed in /boot/kernel instead of /boot/FOO
and the /boot/FOO directory does not exist, don't try to update
/boot/FOO. This is an issue only where an update involves adding a new
kernel module.
3. When removing files and directories, operate in reverse
lexographical order, in order to ensure that files are removed before
the directory which contains them.

forward cases by converting from unconditional acquisition of Giant
around vnode operations to conditional acquisition:
- Remove nfsrv_access_withgiant(), and cause nfsrv_access() to now
assert that Giant will be held if it is required for the vnode.
- Add nfsrv_fhtovp_locked(), which will drop the NFS server lock if
required, and modify nfsrv_fhtovp() to conditionally acquire
Giant if required.
- In the VOP's not dealing with more than one vnode at a time (i.e.,
not involving a lookup), conditionally acquire Giant.
This removes Giant use for MPSAFE file systems for a number of quite
important RPCs, including getattr, read, write. It leaves
unconditional Giant acquisitions in vnode operations that interact
with the name space or more than one vnode at a time as these
require further work.

and correct the use of unary minus with an unsigned value. (The unary
minus here is actually being used as a bitwise operation, which is
unusual enough to deserve a clarifying cast.)
Define the xxx_OBJPATHS earlier and then use it in the xxx_make
target because each obj is actually made through that.
This allows the crunch to work with -j32 on sun4v.
The makefile generated is still poor, though. It really shouldn't use
the general 'make all' to do the submakes in the app directories being
crunched because each of those objects is listed as a dependency in
the generated crunch makefile. Doing that really requires a unique rule
to generate them.
