old modules from being used with the new kernel, and new modules from

includes the latter, but also declares variables which are defined
in kern/subr_param.c).
Change som VM parameters from quad_t to unsigned long. They refer to
quantities (size limits for text, heap and stack segments) which must
necessarily be smaller than the size of the address space, so long is
adequate on all platforms.

Change the spelling of the "catch" option to be consistent with the new
options. Implement the "no wait" option. An implementation of the "CPU
private" for i386 will be committed at a later date.
This generates a KTR event for each critical section entered and exited.
It would be desirable to also log the filename and line number of the
source entering or exiting the critical section, but this requires
hacking up the critical section API, so I've not done that yet.
because this call is only needed to wake threads that slept when they
discovered a dead object connected to a vnode. To eliminate unnecessary
calls to wakeup() by vnode_pager_dealloc(), introduce a new flag,
OBJ_DISCONNECTWNT.

priority. The sleep queues don't get updated when the priority of
threads changes, so sleepq_signal() might not always wakeup the
highest priority thread. Updating the queues when thread priorities
change cannot be easily done due to lock orders, so instead we do an
O(n) walk of the queue for a sleepq_signal() operation instead of O(1).
On the other hand, adding a thread to a sleep queue now goes from O(n)
to O(1) so it ends up as an even tradeoff. The correctness here with
regards to priorities is actually fairly important. msleep() gives
interactive threads their priority "boost" after they are placed on the
queue, but before this fix that "boost" wasn't used to determine the
highest priority thread that sleepq_signal() awoke.

- Tweak the updating of the ithread name in ithread_update() so that the
'+' and '*' characters for device names that were too short only get
added at the end after as many device names as possible were fit into
the allocated space. Prior to this, some long devices would result
in '+' chars showing up between two different devices rather than at the
end.
- Eliminate an initialized but unused variable.
- Eliminate an unnecessary call to clear the page's PG_BUSY flag. (The
call to vm_page_rename() already clears the page's PG_BUSY flag through
its call to vm_page_remove().)
motherboard, in practice the changes resulted in many false positives for
heavy network loads, etc. resulting in poor performance. Also, the
motherboard referenced in the 1.109 log has other problems and simply does
not seem to work with the APIC enabled even with the changes in 1.109. The
correct fix for that board seems to be to not use the APIC at all. One
thing kept from 1.109 is that throttled interrupts are now effectively
polled on every clock tick rather than just 10 times per second.

need for most calls to vm_page_busy(). Specifically, most calls to
vm_page_busy() occur immediately prior to a call to vm_page_remove().
In such cases, the containing vm object is locked across both calls.
Consequently, the setting of the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is not even
visible to other threads that are following the synchronization
protocol.
This change (1) eliminates the calls to vm_page_busy() that
immediately precede a call to vm_page_remove() or functions, such as
vm_page_free() and vm_page_rename(), that call it and (2) relaxes the
requirement in vm_page_remove() that the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is
set. Now, the vm page's PG_BUSY flag is set only when the vm object
lock is released while the vm page is still in transition. Typically,
this is when it is undergoing I/O.
control the number of lines per page rather than a constant. The variable
can be examined and changed in ddb as '$lines'. Setting the variable to
0 will effectively turn off paging.
- Change db_putchar() to force out pending whitespace before outputting
newlines and carriage returns so that one can rub out content on the
current line via '\r \r' type strings.
- Change the simple pager to rub out the --More-- prompt explicitly when
the routine exits.
- Add some aliases to the simple pager to make it more compatible with
more(1): 'e' and 'j' do a single line. 'd' does half a page, and
'f' does a full page.

result otherwise, as the CV code it calls will panic due to its use
of a mutex before it is initialized.
outside of the nice threshold due to a recently awoken thread with a
lower nice value. This further reduces the amount of time a positively
niced thread gets while running in conjunction with a workload that has
many short sleeps (ie buildworld).
check for TD_ON_RUNQ() no longer means the thread is really on a run-
queue. I suspect this state should be re-evaluated as it must mean
something else now. This fixes ULE+KSE+PREEMPTION on UP x86.
At some point later the syncer will unlearn about vnodes and the filesystems
method called by the syncer will know enough about what's in bo_private to
do the right thing.
