makesyscalls.sh:
This parsed $Id$. Fixed(?) to parse $FreeBSD$. The output is wrong when
the id is not expanded in the source file.
syscalls.master:
Fixed declaration of sigsuspend(). There are still some bogons and
spam involving sigset_t.
Use `struct foo *' instead of the equivalent `foo_t *' for some nfs and
lfs syscalls so that <sys/sysproto.h> doesn't depend on <sys/mount.h>.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
All new code is "#ifdef PC98"ed so this should make no difference to
PC/AT (and its clones) users.

is <sys/unistd.h>, with the prototype in <unistd.h>. sys/unistd.h
is visible to the kernel compile, and is #included by unistd.h.
Also, I missed a reference to a static int in the midst of my other diffs.
Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish
overhead for merged cache.
Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant
calls to cluster_rbuild.
Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials.
Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6.
Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally,
fixes in the various pagers.
Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs.
Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code
will not as readily thrash.
Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into
page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE),
thereby improving efficiency of several routines.
Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations.
Significantly speed up process forks.
Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause
that happens every 30seconds.
Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the
case of filesystems mounted async.
Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO
buffers.
Move a lot of variables home to their own code (In good time before xmas :-)
Introduce the string descrition of format.
Add a couple more functions to poke into these marvels, while I try to
decide what the correct interface should look like.
Next is adding vars on the fly, and sysctl looking at them too.
Removed a tine bit of defunct and #ifdefed notused code in swapgeneric.
Prototypes are located in <sys/sysproto.h>.
Add appropriate #include <sys/sysproto.h> to files that needed
protos from systm.h.
Add structure definitions to appropriate files that relied on sys/systm.h,
right before system call definition, as in the rest of the kernel source.
In kern_prot.c, instead of using the dummy structure "args", create
individual dummy structures named <syscall>_args. This makes
life easier for prototype generation.
changes to allow devices that don't probe (e.g. /dev/mem)
to create devfs entries
this required giving 'configure' its own SYSINIT entry
so we could duck in just before it with a DEVFS init
and some device inits..
my devfs now looks like:
./misc
./misc/speaker
./misc/mem
./misc/kmem
./misc/null
./misc/zero
./misc/io
./misc/console
./misc/pcaudio
./misc/pcaudioctl
./disks
./disks/rfloppy
./disks/rfloppy/fd0.1440
./disks/rfloppy/fd1.1200
./disks/floppy
./disks/floppy/fd0.1440
./disks/floppy/fd1.1200
also some sligt cleanups.. DEVFS needs a lot of work
but I'm getting back to it..
Submitted by: terry (terry lambert)
This is a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..
NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..
certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)
The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.
These changes solve the problem in a general way by moving the
initialization out of the individual fs_mountroot's and into swaponvp().

require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.

initializing proc0's frame base, too, using cpu_set_init_frame(). It's
a kludge because that macro is intended to be used only for init, but
does what we want nonetheless.
1. The pageout daemon used to block under certain
circumstances, and we needed to add new functionality
that would cause the pageout daemon to block more often.
Now, the pageout daemon mostly just gets rid of pages
and kills processes when the system is out of swap.
The swapping, rss limiting and object cache trimming
have been folded into a new daemon called "vmdaemon".
This new daemon does things that need to be done for
the VM system, but can block. For example, if the
vmdaemon blocks for memory, the pageout daemon
can take care of it. If the pageout daemon had
blocked for memory, it was difficult to handle
the situation correctly (and in some cases, was
impossible).
2. The collapse problem has now been entirely fixed.
It now appears to be impossible to accumulate unnecessary
vm objects. The object collapsing now occurs when ref counts
drop to one (where it is more likely to be more simple anyway
because less pages would be out on disk.) The original
fixes were incomplete in that pathological circumstances
could still be contrived to cause uncontrolled growth
of swap. Also, the old code still, under steady state
conditions, used more swap space than necessary. When
using the new code, users will generally notice a
significant decrease in swap space usage, and theoretically,
the system should be leaving fewer unused pages around
competing for memory.

cycles. While waiting there I added a lot of the extra ()'s I have, (I have
never used LISP to any extent). So I compiled the kernel with -Wall and
shut up a lot of "suggest you add ()'s", removed a bunch of unused var's
and added a couple of declarations here and there. Having a lap-top is
highly recommended. My kernel still runs, yell at me if you kernel breaks.

2) Added ps ddb function from 1.1.5. Cleaned it up a bit and moved into its
own file.
3) Added \r handing in db_printf.
4) Added missing memory usage stats to statclock().
5) Added dummy function to pseudo_set so it will be emitted if there
are no other pseudo declarations.
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.
NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.
