- move the sysctl code to kern_intr.c
- do not use INTRCNT_COUNT, but rather eintrcnt - intrcnt to determine
the length of the intrcnt array
- move the declarations of intrnames, eintrnames, intrcnt and eintrcnt
from machine-dependent include files to sys/interrupt.h
- remove the hw.nintr sysctl, it is not needed.
- fix various style bugs

attempting to remove nonexistant exports with MNT_DELEXPORT returns
an error; before this change it always succeeded. This caused
mountd(8) to log "can't delete exports for /whatever" warnings.
Change the error code from EINVAL to a more specific ENOENT, and
make mountd ignore this error when deleting the export list. I
could have just restored the previous behaviour of returning success,
but I think an error return is a useful diagnostic.

it becomes possible to trap in ptsstop() in kern/tty_pty.c
if the slave side has never been opened during the life of a kernel.
What happens is that calls to ttyflush() done from ptyioctl() for the
controlling side end up calling ptsstop() [via (*tp->t_stop)(tp, <X>)]
which evaluates the following:
struct pt_ioctl *pti = tp->t_dev->si_drv1;
In order for tp->t_dev to be set, the slave device must first be
opened in ttyopen() [kern/tty.c].
It appears that the only problem is calls to (*tp->t_stop)(tp, <n>),
so this could also happen with other ioctls initiated by the
controlling side before the slave has been opened.

the saved uid and gid during execve(). Unfortunately, the optimizations
were incorrect in the case where the credential was updated, skipping
the setting of the saved uid and gid when new credentials were generated.
This change corrects that problem by handling the newcred!=NULL case
correctly.

dev_t. The dev_depends(dev_t, dev_t) function is for tying them
to each other.
When destroy_dev() is called on a dev_t, all dev_t's depending
on it will also be destroyed (depth first order).
Rewrite the make_dev_alias() to use this dependency facility.
kern/subr_disk.c:
Make the disk mini-layer use dependencies to make sure all
relevant dev_t's are removed when the disk disappears.
Make the disk mini-layer precreate some magic sub devices
which the disk/slice/label code expects to be there.
kern/subr_disklabel.c:
Remove some now unneeded variables.
kern/subr_diskmbr.c:
Remove some ancient, commented out code.
kern/subr_diskslice.c:
Minor cleanup. Use name from dev_t instead of dsname()
real uid, saved uid, real gid, and saved gid to ucred, as well as the
pcred->pc_uidinfo, which was associated with the real uid, only rename
it to cr_ruidinfo so as not to conflict with cr_uidinfo, which
corresponds to the effective uid.
o Remove p_cred from struct proc; add p_ucred to struct proc, replacing
original macro that pointed.
p->p_ucred to p->p_cred->pc_ucred.
o Universally update code so that it makes use of ucred instead of pcred,
p->p_ucred instead of p->p_pcred, cr_ruidinfo instead of p_uidinfo,
cr_{r,sv}{u,g}id instead of p_*, etc.
o Remove pcred0 and its initialization from init_main.c; initialize
cr_ruidinfo there.
o Restruction many credential modification chunks to always crdup while
we figure out locking and optimizations; generally speaking, this
means moving to a structure like this:
newcred = crdup(oldcred);
...
p->p_ucred = newcred;
crfree(oldcred);
It's not race-free, but better than nothing. There are also races
in sys_process.c, all inter-process authorization, fork, exec, and
exit.
o Remove sigio->sio_ruid since sigio->sio_ucred now contains the ruid;
remove comments indicating that the old arrangement was a problem.
o Restructure exec1() a little to use newcred/oldcred arrangement, and
use improved uid management primitives.
o Clean up exit1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup due to
pcred removal.
o Clean up fork1() so as to do less work in credential cleanup and
allocation.
o Clean up ktrcanset() to take into account changes, and move to using
suser_xxx() instead of performing a direct uid==0 comparision.
o Improve commenting in various kern_prot.c credential modification
calls to better document current behavior. In a couple of places,
current behavior is a little questionable and we need to check
POSIX.1 to make sure it's "right". More commenting work still
remains to be done.
o Update credential management calls, such as crfree(), to take into
account new ruidinfo reference.
o Modify or add the following uid and gid helper routines:
change_euid()
change_egid()
change_ruid()
change_rgid()
change_svuid()
change_svgid()
In each case, the call now acts on a credential not a process, and as
such no longer requires more complicated process locking/etc. They
now assume the caller will do any necessary allocation of an
exclusive credential reference. Each is commented to document its
reference requirements.
o CANSIGIO() is simplified to require only credentials, not processes
and pcreds.
o Remove lots of (p_pcred==NULL) checks.
o Add an XXX to authorization code in nfs_lock.c, since it's
questionable, and needs to be considered carefully.
o Simplify posix4 authorization code to require only credentials, not
processes and pcreds. Note that this authorization, as well as
CANSIGIO(), needs to be updated to use the p_cansignal() and
p_cansched() centralized authorization routines, as they currently
do not take into account some desirable restrictions that are handled
by the centralized routines, as well as being inconsistent with other
similar authorization instances.
o Update libkvm to take these changes into account.

Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.
Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%. For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.
I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

logtimeout() is only called once after the kernel log is opened
and then never again after that. So I guess syslogd only gets
kernel log messages by virtue of syncer(4)'s flushes ...?
