while in principle a good idea, opened us up to a race inherrent to
the syncache's direct insertion of incoming TCP connections into the
"completed connection" listen queue, as it transpires that the socket
is inserted before the inpcb is fully filled in by syncache_expand().
The bug manifested with the occasional returning of 0.0.0.0:0 in the
address returned by the accept() system call, which occurred if accept
managed to execute tcp_usr_accept() before syncache_expand() had copied
the endpoint addresses into inpcb connection state.
Re-add tcbinfo locking around the address copyout, which has the effect
of delaying the copy until syncache_expand() has finished running, as
it is run while the tcbinfo lock is held. This is undesirable in that
it increases contention on tcbinfo further, but a more significant
change will be required to how the syncache inserts new sockets in
order to fix this and keep more granular locking here. In particular,
either more state needs to be passed into sonewconn() so that
pru_attach() can fill in the fields *before* the socket is inserted, or
the socket needs to be inserted in the incomplete connection queue
until it is actually ready to be used.

have the potential to break certain clients, so it's
good to document the reasoning behind the change.

if we're certain it will be correct. Some slop is allowed however
previously we could erroneously raise lowpri for an idle cpu that a
thread had recently run on which lead to errors in load balancing
decisions.
can't find fsck_4.2bsd because there was no fstab file saying what
filesystem type it is looking at so it got the filesystem type from
the disk's label. When that fails admins who haven't been in this
situation before are most likely to try "fsck -t ufs /dev/ad0s1a" because
ufs is the type used in fstab files on working systems but that also fails
complaining it can't find fsck_ufs.
This just sets it up so /stand in the MFS image (/sbin is a symlink
to /stand) includes hard links pointing fsck_4.2bsd and fsck_ufs to
fsck_ffs which is what is present in /sbin on installed systems.

window size changes. Change the number of lines before each
header to `rows - 3' when the terminal is resized, so that the

shell. This would break them for floppy based fixit mode which still
seems to use /stand except that vi(1) and more(1) don't exist in /stand
on the fixit floppy so it really doesn't matter what these settings are
there. These paths work for CD-based fixit mode.
This is just "temporary" and on its way to 7.0-REL. I'm too chicken to
make what is probably the correct adjustment this close to release. It
seems /mnt2 is just a symbolic link, and stuff really gets mounted as
/dist. Adjusting paths to that for 8.X is probably the right thing to
do and I'll try that after 7.0 is done.

cases which are used mainly by regression tests.
As usual, the cutoff for tiny args was not correctly translated to
float precision. It was 2**-54 but 2**-24 works. It must be about
2**-precision, since the error from approximating log(1+x) by x is
about the same as |x|. Exhaustive testing shows that 2**-24 gives
perfect rounding in round-to-nearest mode.
Similarly for the cutoff for being small, except this is not used by
so many other functions. It was 2**-29 but 2**-15 works. It must be
a bit smaller than sqrt(2**-precision), since the error from
approximating log(1+x) by x-x*x/2 is about the same as x*x. Exhaustive
testing shows that 2**-15 gives a maximum error of 0.5052 ulps in
round-to-nearest-mode. The algorithm for the general case is only good
for 0.8388 ulps, so this is sufficient (but it loses slightly on i386 --
then extra precision gives 0.5032 ulps for the general case).
While investigating this, I noticed that optimizing the usual case by
falling into a middle case involving a simple polynomial evaluation
(return x-x*x/2 instead of x here) is not such a good idea since it
gives an enormous pessimization of tinier args on machines for which
denormals are slow. Float x*x/2 is denormal when |x| ~< 2**-64 and
x*x/2 is evaluated in float precision, so it can easily be denormal
for normal x. This is even more interesting for general polynomial
evaluations. Multiplying out large powers of x is normally a good
optimization since it reduces dependencies, but it creates denormals
starting with quite large x.
