of vnodes and objects. There are some metadata performance improvements
that come along with this. There are also a few prototypes added when
the need is noticed. Changes include:
1) Cleaning up vref, vget.
2) Removal of the object cache.
3) Nuke vnode_pager_uncache and friends, because they aren't needed anymore.
4) Correct some missing LK_RETRY's in vn_lock.
5) Correct the page range in the code for msync.
Be gentle, and please give me feedback asap.
for field widths being 2 larger than specified for "%<number>p". Only
printing of null pointers is "wrong" now (it is actually "right", but
inconsistent with printf(3)).
here, but kmem_malloc() is used and it takes the same "flags" as
malloc().
Use the mbuf allocation "flags" M_WAIT and M_DONTWAIT consistently.
There is really only one boolean flag, M_DONTWAIT, but the "flags"
were always treated as enum-like values, except in some places here
where the values are tacitly converted to boolean flags. Treat
them as enum-like values everywhere, except where we tacitly assume
that there are only two values in order to convert them to the
corresponding two kmem_malloc() "flags".

Adding:
options APM_FIXUP_CALLTODO
to the kernel config enables the patch.

This patch was slightly modified to use a consistant indent style and
I removed some unused local variables. After this has been tested a
few weeks we'll make the options the default, so for now I'm now
documenting it in LINT. Mike can later if he wants.

flag is set in the p_pfsflags field. This, essentially, prevents an SUID
proram from hanging after being traced. (E.g., "truss /usr/bin/rlogin" would
fail, but leave rlogin in a stopevent state.) Yet another case where procctl
is (hopefully ;)) no longer needed in the general case.

if one of the new poll types is requested; hopefully this will not break
any existing code. (This is done so that programs have a dependable
way of determining whether a filesystem supports the extended poll types
or not.)
The new poll types added are:
POLLWRITE - file contents may have been modified
POLLNLINK - file was linked, unlinked, or renamed
POLLATTRIB - file's attributes may have been changed
POLLEXTEND - file was extended
Note that the internal operation of poll() means that it is impossible
for two processes to reliably poll for the same event (this could
be fixed but may not be worth it), so it is not possible to rewrite
`tail -f' to use poll at this time.
- A nonprofiling version of s_lock (called s_lock_np) is used
by mcount.
- When profiling is active, more registers are clobbered in
seemingly simple assembly routines. This means that some
callers needed to save/restore extra registers.
- The stack pointer must have space for a 'fake' return address
in idle, to avoid stack underflow.

noticed some major enhancements available for UP situations. The number
of UP TLB flushes is decreased much more than significantly with these
changes. Since a TLB flush appears to cost minimally approx 80 cycles,
this is a "nice" enhancement, equiv to eliminating between 40 and 160
instructions per TLB flush.
Changes include making sure that kernel threads all use the same PTD,
and eliminate unneeded PTD switches at context switch time.
quite a while, but forgot to do so. For now, this code supports
most daemons running as kernel threads in UP kernels, and as
full processes in SMP. We will soon be able to run them as
threads in SMP, but not yet.
Note that an unload facility should be used to call rm_at_exit() (if
procfs is being loaded as an LKM and is subsequently removed), but it
was non-obvious how to do this in the VFS framework.

surprise, procfs actually is optional, and some people truly do generate
kernels without it. Wow. I built a kernel without 'options PROCFS' and
it compiled and linked.
1) Fix the initialization of malloc structure that changed
due to perf opt.
2) Remove unneeded include.
3) An initialization assert added to malloc.

workaround. Note that this currently eats up two pages extra in the system;
this could be alleviated by aligning idt correctly, and then only dealing with
that (as opposed to the current method of allocated two pages and copying the
IDT table to that, and then setting that to be the IDT table).
or aio_write can return the pid of the new thread. This is due to the
way that return values from system calls being passed by side-effect in
the proc structure now. This commit fixes the problem with aio_read and
aio_write.
