the NFSv3 ACCESS RPC problems a little for busy clients that do a lot of
open/close. The nfs code could probably cache the results, but I'm not
sure whether this would be legal or useful. The problem is that with
a CPU farm, on each open there would be a lookup, getattr then access RPC
then the read/write RPC activity. Caching the access results probably
isn't going to help much if the clients access lots of files. Having the
nfs_access() routine interpret the getattr results is a bit of a hack, but
it's how NFSv2 is done and it might be OK for a mount attribute for v3.
- Use TAILQ_* macros extensively instead of internal names
- use b_xflags instead of the NOLIST magic number hack in the next pointer
- clean bufs are inserted at the tail rather than the head.
- redo dirty buffer insert so that metadata (negative lbn) goes to the
tail directly rather than at the HEAD. This makes a difference when
inserting dirty data blocks in lbn sorted order since data block
insertion will not have to bypass all the metadata cruft. data is
lbn sorted since it makes sense for clustering and writeback ordering,
while metadata sorting doesn't help much since the lbn's are
meaningless when walking the list for writebacks.
Small systems will not notice much (if any) benefit from this, but really
busy systems with large dirty block lists should get a lot more.
I've tested this with softdep, and it doesn't seem to mind the change of

A zero offset for the raw partition should probably be enforced in

first calling setdisklabel() so that writedisklabel() doesn't need to
enforce it, but this has never been done; dsioctl() has a special
check. Changes in this commit are limited to dsioctl() to preserve

DIOCWDINFO and doesn't undo the setting when writedisklabel() fails).
partition that the label ioctl is being done on just because it has
offset 0, since there is no guarantee that such a partition is large
enough to contain the label. Don't use the wrong raw partition (0
instead of RAW_PART).
This fixes problems rewriting bizarre labels (with a nonzero offset
for the 'a' partition) in newfs(8). Such labels shouldn't normally
be used, but creating them was allowed if the ioctl was done on the
raw partition, and sysinstall creates them if the root partition isn't
allocated first.
Note that allowing write access to a partition other than the one that
has been checked for write access doesn't increase security holes
significantly, since write access to any partition already allows
changing the in-core label.

the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers.

Simplify the ELF extended symbol table load format. Just take the main

be getting local symbols from. (needed for the alpha stack tracebacks).
Use the (optional) full symbol tables in lookups. This means we have to
furhter distinguish between symbols that can come from the dynamic linking

The alpha boot code now needs to be adapted as ddb/db_elf.c cannot use
the simpler format.
I have not implemented loading the extended symbol tables from the syscall

- symbols are checked to see if they are in the right containing file

- symbol_values checks that the symbol is indeed belonging to the
correct symbol and string table pairs before looking up. (since there
could be many pairs, and KLD/DDB need to find out).
- different ops for files versus preload modules - the unload mechanism
is different. (a preloaded module has to be deleted on unload since
the in-core image is tainted by relocation and variables used)
- Do not build an a.out kernel module if we're running on an elf

The nice thing about this is that the SYSINIT's within preloaded KLD modules
are executed in their natural order. It should be possible to register

NFS_ROOT will produce kernel that cannot mount a UFS /.
Vfs type numbers must be distinct from VFS_GENERIC (and VFS_VFSCONF, but
that has the same value and should go away).
The problem happens because NFS is the first vfs (in sys/conf order) so it

The conflict is apparently harmless in the usual case when another vfs
gets type number 0, because nfs is the only vfs that has sysctls.

writes of size (100,208]+N*MCLBYTES.
The bug:
sosend() hands each mbuf off to the protocol output routine as soon as it
has copied it, in the hopes of increasing parallelism (see
http://www.kohala.com/~rstevens/vanj.88jul20.txt ). This works well for
TCP as long as the first mbuf handed off is at least the MSS. However,
when doing small writes (between MHLEN and MINCLSIZE), the transaction is
split into 2 small MBUF's and each is individually handed off to TCP.
TCP assumes that the first small mbuf is the whole transaction, so sends
a small packet. When the second small mbuf arrives, Nagle prevents TCP
from sending it so it must wait for a (potentially delayed) ACK. This
sends throughput down the toilet.
The workaround:
Set the "atomic" flag when we're doing small writes. The "atomic" flag
has two meanings:
1. Copy all of the data into a chain of mbufs before handing off to the
protocol.
2. Leave room for a datagram header in said mbuf chain.
TCP wants the first but doesn't want the second. However, the second
simply results in some memory wastage (but is why the workaround is a
hack and not a fix).
The real fix:
The real fix for this problem is to introduce something like a "requested
transfer size" variable in the socket->protocol interface. sosend()
would then accumulate an mbuf chain until it exceeded the "requested
transfer size". TCP could set it to the TCP MSS (note that the
current interface causes strange TCP behaviors when the MSS > MCLBYTES;
nobody notices because MCLBYTES > ethernet's MTU).

work in progress and has never booted a real machine. Initial
development and testing was done using SimOS (see
http://simos.stanford.edu for details). On the SimOS simulator, this
port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).
Obtained from: partly from NetBSD/alpha
machine-independent code and try mounting the devices in the
lists instead of guessing alternative root devices in a machine-
dependent way.
autoconf.c:
Reject preposterous slice numbers instead of silently converting
them to COMPATIBILITY_SLICE.
Don't forget to force slice = COMPATIBILITY_SLICE in the floppy
device name.
Eliminated most magic numbers and magic device names in setroot().
Fixed dozens of style bugs.
vfs_conf.c:
Put the actual root device name instead of "root_device" in the
mount struct if the actual name is available. This is useful after
booting with -s. If it were set in all cases then it could be used
to do mount(8)'s ROOTSLICE_HUNT and fsck(8)'s hotroot guess better.
In particular, don't generate an include of "opt_compat.h" if it
wouldn't affect anything we create. This will fix recent breakage
of the ibcs2 LKM. The ibcs2 syscall files were not regenerated
properly, so the LKM didn't break immediately when we started
generating this extraneous include.
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
The slices "struct" isn't really a struct; we allocate only part of
it in the fully dangerously dedicated case. Since the "struct" is
malloced, the page beyond it may not be mapped, so attempts to copy
it would crash. This problem became larger when the full struct was
bloated from < 1K to > 3K by the addition of (mostly unused) DEVFS
tokens some time before 2.2.0 was released.
the alloc is not M_DONTWAIT, then panic with "Out of mbuf clusters".
Callers that specify M_WAIT can't deal with getting a NULL buffer, so this
is a more graceful failure than randomly page faulting in the socket code
or elsewhere.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.
Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.
Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.
Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()
This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

end up being the same, but it doesn't look like you're comparing
apples and oranges.
2. Use need_resched instead of reset_priority. This isn't right
either, since for example you'll round-robin against equal priority FIFO
processes when lowering the priority of another process,
but this works better and a real fix needs to be in kern_synch and
not out here.
3. This is not a device driver: copyin/copyout the structure.
update of cpu usage as shown by top when one process is cpu bound
(no system calls) while the system is otherwise idle (except for top).
Don't attempt to switch to the BSP in boot(). If the system was idle when
an interrupt caused a panic, this won't work. Instead, switch to the BSP
in cpu_reset.
Remove some spurious forward_statclock/forward_hardclock warnings.
Define a parameter which indicates the maximum number of sockets in a
system, and use this to size the zone allocators used for sockets and
for certain PCBs.
Convert PF_LOCAL PCB structures to be type-stable and add a version number.
Define an external format for infomation about socket structures and use
it in several places.
Define a mechanism to get all PF_LOCAL and PF_INET PCB lists through
sysctl(3) without blocking network interrupts for an unreasonable
length of time. This probably still has some bugs and/or race
conditions, but it seems to work well enough on my machines.
It is now possible for `netstat' to get almost all of its information
via the sysctl(3) interface rather than reading kmem (changes to follow).
signanosleep() did not deal with signal masks properly. This change was
based on a discussion with bde some time ago (at least 6 months or more).
signanosleep() should probably go away since it was never really used for
more than a few weeks and doesn't appear in released code. It should
probably be killed before somebody uses it and it becomes a gratuitous
nonstandard feature.
possibly non-open devices, and we don't want to restrict dumping
to swap devices anwyay. It is especially invalid to call d_ioctl()
in non-process context for panics. d_psize() can be called on
non-open devices, at least on non-SLICED ones that support d_dump(),
and setdumpdev() has depended on this for a long time although it
is probably wrong, but even d_psize() can't be called in non-process
context - that's why dumpsys() depends on previously computed values
although these values may be stale. The historical restriction to
devices with dkpart(dev) == SWAP_PART should go away.
the only common usage of utrace (the possible problem with this
commit) is with malloc, so this should be a real problem. Add
the various NetBSD syscalls that allow full emulation of their
development environment.
---------
Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it. This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.
Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp. vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns. These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.

Reverse the VFS_VRELE patch. Reference counting of vnodes does not need
to be done per-fs. I noticed this while fixing vfs layering violations.
Doing reference counting in generic code is also the preference cited by
John Heidemann in recent discussions with him.
The implementation of alternative vnode management per-fs is still a valid
requirement for some filesystems but will be revisited sometime later,
most likely using a different framework.

or ufs_bmaparray(), in particular for all writes to block disk devices.
Only ufs_bmaparray() sets vp->v_maxio in a correct way, and it doesn't
seem to be called early enough even for regular files.
expecting a sub-page offset. We were passing the file position,
and vm_page_bits() could do some interesting things when base was
larger PAGE_SIZE.
if (size > PAGE_SIZE - base)

this could have interesting consequences for memory page -> device block

This code will be turned on with the TWO options

This code does not support the following:

Persistance. (My head is still hurting from the last time we discussed this)
ATAPI flopies are not handled by the SLICE code yet.
When this code is running, all major numbers are arbitrary and COULD
be dynamically assigned. (this is not done, for POLA only)
Minor numbers for disk slices ARE arbitray and dynamically assigned.
(ie: it has a vm_object attached and is marked as OBJ_MIGHTBEDIRTY) before
attempting to lock it. This should reduce the cpu hit that is incurred
when doing a sync(2) and when the syncer process is doing the 30-second
writeback of dirty mmap() data to disk. Skip this speedup if we are
doing an unmount() to be sure to get everything - we can afford to
occasionally miss a msync while the system is running, but not at unmount.
I'm not sure about the VXLOCK and MNT_WAIT case, it seems a bit odd to skip
doing a page_clean at unmount time just because a vnode is VXLOCKed, but
that's what was being done before...
update got lost. This is responsible for ensuring that dirty mmap() pages
get periodically written to disk. Without it, long time mmap's might not
have their dirty pages written out at all of the system crashes or isn't
cleanly shut down. This could be nasty if you've got a long-running
writing via mmap(), dirty pages used to get written to disk within 30
seconds or so.
data is greater than MLEN, setsockopt is unable to pass it onto
the protocol handler. Allocate a cluster in such case.
