in the window between the beginning of panic() and entering the debugger,
it's possible to receive interrupts. If we receive an interrupt, don't
preempt if panicstr != NULL, as the system is in the process of failing, and
the preempting thread is likely to stumble over the failure. The typical
scenario is during the printf() in panic() prior to entering the debugger,
but when running with a slower console type such as serial console.
It could be that the panic string should be passed to the debugger to print,
so that it can run from the debugger's environment rather than a regular

When looking for a region to allocate, we used to check to see if the
start address was < end. In the case where A..B is allocated already,
and one wants to allocate A..C (B < C), then this test would
improperly fail (which means we'd examine that region as a possible
one), and we'd return the region B+1..C+(B-A+1) rather than NULL.
Since C+(B-A+1) is necessarily larger than C (end argument), this is
incorrect behavior for rman_reserve_resource_bound().
The fix is to exclude those regions where r->r_start + count - 1 > end
rather than r->r_start > end. This bug has been in this code for a
very long time. I believe that all other tests against end are

This removes two mutex operations from each socket allocation.
so that the socket does not generate SIGPIPE, only EPIPE, when a write
is attempted after socket shutdown. When the option was introduced in
2002, this required the logic for determining whether SIGPIPE was
generated to be pushed down from dofilewrite() to the socket layer so
that the socket options could be considered. However, the change in
2002 omitted modification to soo_write() required to add that logic,
resulting in SIGPIPE not being generated even without SO_NOSIGPIPE when
the socket was written to using write() or related generic system calls.
This change adds the EPIPE logic to soo_write(), generating a SIGPIPE
signal to the process associated with the passed uio in the event that
the SO_NOSIGPIPE option is not set.
Notes:
- The are upsides and downsides to placing this logic in the socket
layer as opposed to the file descriptor layer. This is really fd
layer logic, but because we need so_options, we have a choice of
layering violations and pick this one.
- SIGPIPE possibly should be delivered to the thread performing the
write, not the process performing the write.
- uio->uio_td and the td argument to soo_write() might potentially
differ; we use the thread in the uio argument.

at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should
be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you
should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers
generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the
time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But
some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs,
don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs
at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed.
The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event
occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any
settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the
event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others
we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event
to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble:
on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic()
completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or
reset the system.
What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while
ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until
it does.
Along the way, I discovered a few other problems:
- Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL.
ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation
wrong.)
- Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a
DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask()
has been fixed accordingly.
- MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at
DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another
can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been
fixed accordingly.
- Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into
a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage
the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this,
and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be
called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is
semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the
lock to the order list.

a socket from a regular socket to a listening socket able to accept new
connections. As part of this state transition, solisten() calls into the
protocol to update protocol-layer state. There were several bugs in this
implementation that could result in a race wherein a TCP SYN received
in the interval between the protocol state transition and the shortly
following socket layer transition would result in a panic in the TCP code,
as the socket would be in the TCPS_LISTEN state, but the socket would not
have the SO_ACCEPTCONN flag set.
This change does the following:
- Pushes the socket state transition from the socket layer solisten() to
to socket "library" routines called from the protocol. This permits
the socket routines to be called while holding the protocol mutexes,
preventing a race exposing the incomplete socket state transition to TCP
after the TCP state transition has completed. The check for a socket
layer state transition is performed by solisten_proto_check(), and the
actual transition is performed by solisten_proto().
- Holds the socket lock for the duration of the socket state test and set,
and over the protocol layer state transition, which is now possible as
the socket lock is acquired by the protocol layer, rather than vice
versa. This prevents additional state related races in the socket
layer.
This permits the dual transition of socket layer and protocol layer state
to occur while holding locks for both layers, making the two changes
atomic with respect to one another. Similar changes are likely require
elsewhere in the socket/protocol code.

do not need to perform an extra memory fetch in the Packet (Mbuf+Cluster)
constructor to initialize the reference counter anymore. The reference
counts are located in a separate memory region (in the slab header,
because this zone is UMA_ZONE_REFCNT), so the memory fetch resulted very
often in a cache miss. Additionally, and perhaps more significantly,
optimize the free mbuf+cluster (packet) case, which is very common, to
no longer require an atomic operation on free (to verify the reference
counter) if the reference on the cluster has never been increased (also
very common). Reduces an atomic on mbuf free on average.

behaviour of chflags within a jail. If set to 0 (the default), then a
jailed root user is treated as an unprivileged user; if set to 1, then
a jailed root user is treated the same as an unjailed root user.
This is necessary to allow "make installworld" to work inside a jail,
since it attempts to manipulate the system immutable flag on certain
files.

Give FFS vnodes a specific bufwrite method which contains all the
background write stuff and then calls into the default bufwrite()
for the rest of the job.
Remove all the background write related stuff from the normal bufwrite.
This drags the softdep_move_dependencies() back into FFS.
Long term, it is worth looking at simply copying the data into
allocated memory and issuing the bio directly and not create the
"shadow buf" in the first place (just like copy-on-write is done
in snapshots for instance). I don't think we really gain anything
but complexity from doing this with a buf.
structure in the struct pointed to by the 3rd argument for IPC_STAT and
get rid of the 4th argument. The old way returned a pointer into the
kernel array that the calling function would then access afterwards
without holding the appropriate locks and doing non-lock-safe things like
copyout() with the data anyways. This change removes that unsafeness and
resulting race conditions as well as simplifying the interface.
- Implement kern_foo wrappers for stat(), lstat(), fstat(), statfs(),
fstatfs(), and fhstatfs(). Use these wrappers to cut out a lot of
code duplication for freebsd4 and netbsd compatability system calls.
- Add a new lookup function kern_alternate_path() that looks up a filename
under an alternate prefix and determines which filename should be used.
This is basically a more general version of linux_emul_convpath() that
can be shared by all the ABIs thus allowing for further reduction of
code duplication.
callout is first initialised, using a new function callout_init_mtx().
The callout system will acquire this mutex before calling the callout
function and release it on return.
In addition, the callout system uses the mutex to avoid most of the
complications and race conditions inherent in asynchronous timer
facilities, so mutex-protected callouts have much simpler semantics.
As long as the mutex is held when invoking callout_stop() or
callout_reset(), then these functions will guarantee that the callout
will be stopped, even if softclock() had already begun to process
the callout.
Existing Giant-locked callouts will automatically pick up the new
race-free semantics. This should close a number of race conditions
in the USB code and probably other areas of the kernel too.
There should be no change in behaviour for "MP-safe" callouts; these
still need to use the techniques mentioned in timeout(9) to avoid
race conditions.
frequency as a percentage of the base rate and do not change the base
rate directly. The cpufreq framework combines these with absolute drivers
to produce synthesized levels made of one or more settings.
select the CPU frequency level (say for cooling). The driver interface
allows hardware drivers to announce themselves as capable of adjusting
an individual frequency setting.
- Add buffer size limitations (overflow will not be possible anymore).
- Add 'visible' option, which will allow for passphrase reading in the
future.
- Remove special treatment of '@' and '#', those two are only confusing.

Add minor2unit() in addition to dev2unit() and unit2minor().
If it wasn't such a hazzle we should redefine minor numbers in
the kernel without the gap for the major number, but it's not worth
the bother (yet).
