I think it's time for Ugen to get a freefall account, just so I can
direct mail at him directly and let him drop off patches for us here. Ugen?

Somebody should make a mib variable for it.
Just now it is pointless to dump the kernel, since we have nothing which
can read the dump.
Furthermore is should never be the default to dump.
options DODUMP
will enable dumps.
Enabled via REL2_1.
Added support for doing object collapses "on the fly". Enabled via REL2_1a.
Improved object collapses so that they can happen in more cases. Improved
sensing of modified pages to fix an apparant race condition and improve
clustered pageout opportunities. Fixed an "oops" with not restarting page
scan after a potential block in vm_pageout_clean() (not doing this can result
in strange behavior in some cases).

for all reasonable HZ's. HZ > 1000 doesn't work because of sloppy
conversions in hzto() (division by (tick / 1000) == 0). This was
fixed in 1.1.5.
Eliminate some extern declarations by including the appropriate header
files that now contain appropriate declarations.
tsleep()). Try `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/pcaudio bs=640k count=1'. The
write takes a few hundred seconds to drain, and if it is killed by a
signal, it still takes a few hundred seconds to drain and all of those
seconds are spent busy-waiting.
Clean up includes and declarations. Remove bogus casts of args to
timeout functions.
doesn't have to calculate it every call.
Rename `timer0_prescale' to `timer0_prescaler_count' and maintain it
correctly. Previously we lost a few 8253 cycles for every "prescaled"
clock interrupt, and the lossage grows rapidly at 16 KHz. Now we
only lose a few cycles for every standard clock interrupt.
Rename `*_divisor' to `*_max_count'.
Do the calculation of TIMER_DIV(rate) only once instead of 3 times each
time the rate is changed.
Don't allow preposterously large interrupt rates. Bug fixes elsewhere
should allow the system to survive rates that saturate the system, however.
Clean up declarations.
Include <machine/clock.h> to check our own declarations.
outside the critical region.
Make it work with 2.0. It wasn't designed to be called at splclock().
Make it work with prescaling. The overflow threshold was bogus.
Make it work for any HZ. Side effect of fixing prescaling.
Speed it up. Allocate registers better. Reduce multiplication and
division to multiplication and a shift. Speed is now 5-6 usec on a
486DX/33, was about 3 usec more.
Optimize for the non-pentium case. The pentium code got moved around
a bit and hasn't been tested.
Change #include's to 2.0 style.
for it is incomplete and buggy. There is no problem unless Xintr0()
is reentered or should be reentered, but high clock interrupt
frequencies for pcaudio cause Xintr0() to be reentered (or clock
ticks to be lost when Xintr0() should have been reentered but
wasn't), and we lose little by delaying the call to softclock().
Move declarations related to the clock driver to clock.h.
Move declarations related to the npx driver to npx.h.
Clean up the remaining declarations.
Find enclosed a short bugfix to get the union filesystem up and running
in FreeBSD-current. We don't think we've got all the problems yet but
these fixes sort out the major ones (which mostly concert bad locking
of vnodes), no doubt we'll post others as necessary. Known problems
include the inability of the umount command (not the system call) to unmount
unions in certain circumstances (this is due the way "realpath" works),
and the failure of direntries to always get all available files in
unioned subdirectories. We are, as they say, working on it.

I know that many of these entries are bogus and need to be revisited,
but let's get the tree working again for now and then do a pass through
looking at all the __FreeBSD__ entries, shall we?
different types, and with the 'local cache', what is freed isn't necessarily
what was originally malloced. This screws malloc's statistics and type
allocation limits, resulting eventually in a deadlock when one of the
limits is bogusly reached. Recent performance tests on a Pentium machine
indicate no improvement with this optimization anyway (this is something
to be looked at further).
NB: You will have to recompile programs which use the `rt_use' member in
order to get the correct values. This should not cause incorrect operation,
but the statistics may look a little confusing.
floppies now. I'm not sure why, but things hang when it gets to the
`changing root to fd0c' part. Without your latest commit, everything works
fine. Maybe you can figure out what you broke after ALPHA! :)
errors at a lower ipl. clist starvation problems can cause hundreds of
tty buffer overflows per second and logging them all amplified the
problems. This problem was less serious in 1.1.5.
Avoid a race in the check for starting a new block of output. com_events
was sometimes messed up and siopoll() looped endlessly. This bug was
introduced in 2.0.
Clean up previous 2 commits. Rename sio_registerdev() to sioregisterdev()
to match the (bad) surrounding naming conventions. There should be a
generic_registerdev().
a clist return with an error. There are some clist starvation/deadlock
bugs elsewhere and killing clist hogs didn't help because the breaks
only exited from the inner loops.
I'm not sure if this is just masking another problem (like, should
ap->a_eofflag EVER be NULL?), but if it prevents a panic for now then
it may save an ALPHA customer.

created by Amancio Hasty (specificly, this, in conjunction with his sound
driver mods for dual-mode DMA will allow VAT compiled for BSD/386 1.1 to
run under FreeBSD 2.x.)
Otherwise clean up the includes. Don't include anything included by
param.h. Do include systm.h and cons.h to avoid satisfy -Wimplicit.
Don't include console.h or use NOKEY because these are for syscons
and we use generic consoles.
Don't follow null pointer for command "ls -lrt" - don't allow extra
args but do allow trailing blanks.
Check for invalid device numbers. strtol() failures are now checked
for in all cases, but not carefully enough. We should check for
trailing junk, allow any base in all cases (just like config) and
handle signs better . (Use strtoul not strtol and cast by assignment
to the correct type - always an integral type, PARM_ADDR is bogus.
Hex numbers > 0x7fffffff can't be entered now. 0xffffffff has to
be entered as -1.)
Cosmetic.
Return from trap() if trap_fatal() returns. trap_fatal() isn't
fatal if you have ddb. Returning from trap() is usually the right
thing to do and much better than falling through.
Build a dummy frame at the top of tmpstk to help debuggers trace the stack
when the system is idle.
swtch.s: idle():
Initialize the frame pointer so that debuggers don't try to trace a bogus
stack.
Load the frame pointer, load the stack pointer and switch out the old
stack in the unique order that never leaves one of the pointers pointers
invalid so that debuggers can trace idle(). Disabling interrupts
provides sufficient validity for normal operation, but debuggers use
(trace) traps.
. avoid resetting the FDC every time the last motor is going off;
instead, give it a 60-second period for possible later reactivation.
This prevents us from needing to recalibrate the FDC too often,
but still allows for an ``automagic error recovery', just in case the
controller is absolutely stuck. (Simply wait for 60 seconds, and
try it again.)
. made the floppy head settle time after a seek a constant
that might be overridden by a config option. (Well, actually the
divisor of the settle time). Pepople often reported problems with
their floppies, so i need a simply mechanism that allows them
to play with that value. (I personally cannot find any problem
on *my* drives.)
. implement the FD_DEBUG ioctl command, in case the driver
is compiled with DEBUG turned on.
. removed a bogus parameter from a printf; the remaining warnings
from gcc -Wall seem to be warnings about the %b format gcc cannot
understand
. rearrange Garett's code to fit better in the existing structure
of #define/type/function ordering.
. make everything fit into 79 columns again.
This way, it's possible for a user to activate/deactivate floppy driver
debugging, even if (s)he doesn't like the overhead of running DDB.
Since some ppl tend to have problems with their drives, this might be
valuable for investigations.
in the far pointers are multiples of 4K (as is normal when the video
BIOS is at seg 0xc000). Disallow mode switching if the pointer is bad.
Use a new pa_to_va() macro for all BIOS and video addresses in syscons.
that add it too, and end up fighting an unwanted battle right now,
I'm just going to back away from both and start including my own private
copies of everything. I'm not going to use _anything_ from libkern

Changed the fifth parameter to register_intr() from u_int mask into
u_int *maskptr in preparation for new features (shared interrupts and
removable devices, eg. for PCMCIA).

Recommend -Wimplicit in CWARNFLAGS next. There are still a few hundred
potential arg mismatches because no function declaration is in scope.
Don't duplicate option `-I.'.
Remove null editing of the assembler source for all profiled objects.
The required magic has been done since prehistoric times by an
asm("mcount") declaration.
Simplify the clean rule.
Don't try to be clever about timestamps involving genassym. genassym's
timestamp usually got ahead of assym.s's timestamp, so `make' almost
always had to run genassym and compare *assym.s to decide that nothing
needed to be done. The cost is reassembling a few files whenever
genassym is rebuilt. Assembling is almost as fast as comparing.
Always go through genassym.o to build genassym. This would have avoided
numerous bugs involving mkdep -p. Now it just stops genassym from
depending on the name of the temporary object file.
Use ${CFLAGS} for building genassym. Mainly ${CWARNFLAGS} were missing.
I just know I'm going to get flamed for adding for the miserable
abortion that is libkern, but what am I supposed to do? At least I
didn't drag in the ctype stuff! :-)

read/write instead of read-only. This is important now that tmpstk can
crash into it. Removed +4 bias of tmpstk because it screws up ddb's
ability to traceback correctly.
and all SCSI devices (except that it's not done quite the way I want). New
information added includes:

A big hand to Martin Renters for the netboot program !
Anybody want to compete on who can "make world" in the shortest
amount of time ? I have 127 i486DX2/66 and 5 P60's I can use

Anyway, NFS will be standard in the GENERIC kernel now, so that

A word of wisdom, don't do this:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| cp $i /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i

It will compress files with multiple links several times. do it this way:
| cd /usr/bin
| for i in *
| do
| gunzip -f < $i > /tmp/a
| gzip -9 < /tmp/a > $i
| done
This is part of a bug fix from Kirk McKusick to work around problems in FFS
related to the blkno of a 64bit offset not fitting into an int. Note the
proper solution would be to deal with 64bit block numbers, but doing this
would require sweeping changes; some other day perhaps.

that this is intended for use only in floppy situations and is done at
the sacrifice of performance in that case (in ther words, this is not the
best solution, but works okay for this exceptional situation).

One of the alpha testers (ETO, Toshihisa <eto@osl.fujitsu.co.jp>)
of my APM driver sent me a very small patch to if_ze.c for using IBM
PCMCIA Ethernet card II. There are only a few difference between
Ethernet card I and II. So we can use them both with this patch. It
also includes a patch for PCIC of ThinkPad 230Cs (As long as I
remember, this model is available in Japan only. But it is very
popular subnote in Japan).

so i hope i've finally removed all the occasions where the driver
got stuck when there's no floppy in the drive.
Also attemmpting to omit the error mesage for ``recalib failed''

From now on, >all< swapdevices must be activated with "swapon".
If you havn't got it, add this line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0
ne sec
Reason:
We want our GENERIC* kernels to have a large selection of swap-devices, but
on the other hand, we don't want to use a wd0b as swap when we boot of a
floppy. This way, we will never use a unexpected swapdevice. Nothing else
has changed.
drivers have a chance to change their IRQ before it is checked.
This was implemented in revision 1.21 and broken in revision 1.26.
Drivers that can change their IRQ should probably be configured
with "irq ?".
