Short description of ip_fastforward:
o adds full direct process-to-completion IPv4 forwarding code
o handles ip fragmentation incl. hw support (ip_flow did not)
o sends icmp needfrag to source if DF is set (ip_flow did not)
o supports ipfw and ipfilter (ip_flow did not)
o supports divert, ipfw fwd and ipfilter nat (ip_flow did not)
o returns anything it can't handle back to normal ip_input
Enable with sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1

kernel build. This makes it possible for me not to get pissed off that
random.ko crashes the system trying to rdtsc() when the i386/cpu.h
support code decides it's okay to call that op when neither I386_CPU or
I486_CPU is defined. I guess it also makes WITNESS/INVARIANTS defines
get picked up by the modules.
in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a
(struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using
a UMA zone (mac_label.c). This allows the size and shape of struct
label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel
objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE. This opens
the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence
changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies
at boot-time instead of compile-time. This also makes it easier to
embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching
with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures.
This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the
structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention
dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the
MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability.
While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it
will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data
structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable)
performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory
conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory.
NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a
result of this change. Because this is an API change, third party
MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&'
symbol.

turnstiles to implement blocking isntead of implementing a thread queue
directly. These turnstiles are somewhat similar to those used in Solaris 7
as described in Solaris Internals but are also different.
Turnstiles do not come out of a fixed-sized pool. Rather, each thread is
assigned a turnstile when it is created that it frees when it is destroyed.
When a thread blocks on a lock, it donates its turnstile to that lock to
serve as queue of blocked threads. The queue associated with a given lock
is found by a lookup in a simple hash table. The turnstile itself is
protected by a lock associated with its entry in the hash table. This
means that sched_lock is no longer needed to contest on a mutex. Instead,
sched_lock is only used when manipulating run queues or thread priorities.
Turnstiles also implement priority propagation inherently.
Currently turnstiles only support mutexes. Eventually, however, turnstiles
may grow two queue's to support a non-sleepable reader/writer lock
implementation. For more details, see the comments in sys/turnstile.h and
kern/subr_turnstile.c.
The two primary advantages from the turnstile code include: 1) the size
of struct mutex shrinks by four pointers as it no longer stores the
thread queue linkages directly, and 2) less contention on sched_lock in
SMP systems including the ability for multiple CPUs to contend on different
locks simultaneously (not that this last detail is necessarily that much of
a big win). Note that 1) means that this commit is a kernel ABI breaker,
so don't mix old modules with a new kernel and vice versa.
Tested on: i386 SMP, sparc64 SMP, alpha SMP
should only be used if they are enabled in the BIOS. Now that we support
enumerating CPUs using the ACPI MADT, any HTT machine using ACPI should
respect the BIOS setting. For HTT machines with ACPI disabled in the
kernel, the MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT kernel option can be used to try to probe HTT
CPUs like have done in the past for the MP Table case. This option should
only be enabled if HTT is enabled in the BIOS.
Removed banal comments about ELAN*. Complain about ELAN* being misnamed
instead (so that these options are not obviously related to a CPU and
don't sort with CPU_ELAN).
Complain about CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG being in the wrong namespace.
Don't put the name of the file in a comment. $FreeBSD$ gives more than
enough about the file's pathname.
Fixed misdescription of the file. It isn't the whole unified Makefile...
Moved the settings of WERROR and of the standard extra CFLAGS
-finline-limit and -fno-strict-aliasing to a less wrong place. They
were in the section for profiling.
the amd64 implementation of the pcpu macros is even more verbose than on
i386 and that causes gcc to way overestimate the complexity of this
2-instruction macro. The other platforms can probably lower their
default values.
no matter where in the directory structure it may be. Use this and the "-k"
flag in the generated gdbinit files so that the "getsyms" function in gdb
requires no user intervention to run and will find every module if they're
in the kernel build's module directory. This is still quite useful for
cases where gdb knows that the path for some modules is /boot/kernel and
others are in the object directory for /usr/src/sys/$ARCH/compile/kernel.

Though this is still incomplete and has some missing features such as
exclusive login and event notification, it may be enough for someone
who wants to play with it.
This driver is supposed to work with firewire(4), targ(4) of CAM(4)
and scsi_target(8) which can be found in /usr/share/example/scsi_target.
This driver doesn't require sbp(4) which implements initiator mode.
Sample configuration:
Kernel: (you can use modules as well)
device firewire
device scbus
device targ
device sbp_targ
After reboot:
# mdconfig -a -t malloc -s 10m
md0
# scsi_target 0:0:0 /dev/md0
(Assuming sbp_targ0 on scbus0)
You should find the 10MB HDD on FreeBSD/MacOS X/WinXP or whatever connected
to the target using FireWire.
Manpage is not finished yet.
