BSDPAN is the collection of modules that provides tighter than ever
integration of Perl into BSD Unix.
Currently, BSDPAN does the following:
o makes p5- FreeBSD ports PREFIX-clean;
o registers Perl modules in the FreeBSD package database with a
package name derived from the module name.
The name is of the form: bsdpan-ModuleName-V.VV.
Anyone interested in where BSDPAN is developing should read Anton's

to not using IO_SYNC. Expose a sysctl (debug.ufs_extattr_sync) for
enabling the use of IO_SYNC.
- Use of IO_SYNC substantially degrades ACL performance when a
default ACL is set on a directory, as there are four synchronous
writes initiated to define both supporting EAs for new
sub-directories, and to set the data; two for new files. Later, this
may be optimized to two writes for sub-directories, one for new
files.
- IO_SYNC does not substantially improve consistency properties due
to the poor consistency properties of existing permissions (which
ACLs are a superset of), due to interaction with soft updates,
and due to differences in handling consistency for data and file
system meta-data.
- In macro-benchmarks, this reduces the overhead of setting default
ACLs down to the same overhead as enabling ACLs on a file system
and not using them. Enabling ACLs still introduces a small
overhead (I measure 7% on a -j 2 buildworld with pre-allocated
EA backing store, but this is not rigorous testing, nor in any way
optimized).
- The sysctl will probably change to another administration method
(or at least, a better name) in the near future, but consistency
properties of EAs are still being worked out. The toggle is defined
right now to allow easier performance analysis and exploration
of possible guarantees.

Don't use atomic operations for the stats updating, instead protect
the counts with the mbuf mutex. Most twiddling of the stats was
done right before or after releasing a mutex. By doing this we
reduce the number of locked ops needed as well as allow a sysctl
to gain a consitant view of the entire stats structure.
In the future...
This will allow us to chain common mbuf operations that would
normally need to aquire/release 2 or 3 of the locks to build an
mbuf with a cluster or external data attached into a single op
requiring only one lock.
Simplify the per-cpu locks that are planned.
There's also some if (1) code that should check if the "how"
operation specifies blocking/non-blocking behavior, we _could_ make
it so that we hold onto the mutex through calls into kmem_alloc
when non-blocking requests are made, but for safety reasons we
currently drop and reaquire the mutex around the calls.
Also, note that calling kmem_alloc is rare and only happens during
a shortage so drop/re-getting the mutex will not be a common
occurance.
Remove some #define's that seemed to obfuscate the code to me.
Remove an extranious comment.
Remove an XXX, including mutex.h isn't a crime.

SIGCHLD to our parent process. Otherwise, we could block while obtaining
the process lock for our parent process and switch out while we were
in SSTOP. Even worse, when we try to resume from the mutex being blocked
on our p_stat will be SRUN, not SSTOP.
- Fix a comment above stop() to indicate that it requires that the proc lock
be held, not a proctree lock.
