- td_ar to struct thread, which holds the in-progress audit record during
a system call.
- p_au to struct proc, which holds per-process audit state, such as the
audit identifier, audit terminal, and process audit masks.
In the earlier implementation, td_ar was added to the zero'd section of
struct thread. In order to facilitate merging to RELENG_6, it has been
moved to the end of the data structure, requiring explicit
initalization in the thread constructor.

in the case where we cross a mountpoint.

on a lock held the last usecount ref on a vnode and the lock failed we
would not call INACTIVE. Solve this by only holding a holdcnt to prevent
the vnode from disappearing while we wait on vn_lock. Other callers
may now VOP_INACTIVE while we are waiting on the lock, however this race
is acceptable, while losing INACTIVE is not.

directory. vrele() may lock the passed vnode, which in these cases would
give an invalid lock order of child -> parent. These situations are
deadlock prone although do not typically deadlock because the vrele
is typically not releasing the last reference to the vnode. Users of
vrele must consider it as a call to vn_lock() and order it appropriately.

This logic change was introduced in revision 1.74:
Correct an oversight in jail() that allowed processes in jail to access
ptys in ways that might be unethical, especially towards processes not in
jail, or in other jails.
It should be fine to allow root in the host environment to do this. This
allows for more effective monitoring of prisons from the host environment.

work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

this is more consistent with the placement of slaves in /dev/pts. The
actual name doesn't matter as it's not part of the exposed API or used by
libc. In some sense, it would be nice if these device nodes didn't have to
have names in devfs at all.

implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing. There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.
A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op. It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.
We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.

each turnstile. Also, allow for the owner thread pointer of a turnstile
to be NULL. This is needed for the upcoming reader/writer lock
implementation.
- Add a new ddb command 'show turnstile' that will look up the turnstile
associated with the given lock argument and display useful information
like the list of threads blocked on each queue, etc. If there isn't an
active turnstile for a lock at the specified address, then the function
will see if there is an active turnstile at the specified address and
display info about it if so.
- Adjust the mutex code to handle the turnstile API changes.

If it finds one it will display information such as the list of threads
sleeping on that queue. If it can't find a sleep queue for that wait
channel, then it will see if that address matches any of the active
sleep queues. If so, it will display information about the sleepq at the
specified address.
sysctl then it will clear the KTR buffer. Note that if you have active
KTR traces at the same time as a clear operation the behavior is undefined,
though it shouldn't panic.
It should play nicely with the existing BSD ptys.
By default, the system will use the BSD ptys, one can set the sysctl
kern.pts.enable to 1 to make it use the new pts system.
The max number of pty that can be allocated on a system can be changed with the
sysctl kern.pts.max. It defaults to 1000, and can be increased, but it is not
recommanded, as any pty with a number > 999 won't be handled by whatever uses

modified bit emulation traps on Alpha while holding locks in the

A better solution would be to pass a hint to the Alpha pmap code to

but that appears to be more difficult to implement.

- Retire KTR_WITNESS and instead have KTR_WITNESS default to off but use
KTR_SUBSYS if it is enabled.
