with up to date comments. This fixes booting kernels with boot2
(except for loss of the features provided by loader) and is suitable
for MFC. Contrary to the old comments, most loaders don't clear the bss.
biosboot lost clearing of the bss in a code crunch in 1997, and boot2
never did it.
kan didn't notice the problem with gcc-3.3 putting variables that are
initialized to 0 in the bss until after committing gcc-3.3 because he
was already using essentially this patch. Before gcc-3.3, only the
non-critical `bootdev' variable was clobbered by clearing the bss.

messages are forwarded as netgraph control messages to the node
that is connected to the manage hook. If that hook is not connected,
the event is lost. Flow control events are converted to netgraph
flow control messages and send along the hook that is connected to
the flow controlled VC. ACR change events are converted to control
messages and sent along the hook for the given VC.
instead of int where the variable has to hold buffer lengths,
use u_int for things like number of network interfaces which
in principle can never be negative.
parts of the system about certain kinds of events, like changes
in the ABR rate, changes in the carrier state, PVC changes. The
main consumers of these events are the harp(4) pseudo-driver
and the ILMI daemon via ng_atm(4).
HIDENAME() macro seems to be unimplementable in C. (HIDENAME() used
to use invalid token pasting using ## for the STDC case until gcc
started rejecting that; now it uses unportable token pasting using
juxtaposition in all cases.) This reduces use of HIDENAME() in the
kernel to only i386 and amd64 profiling code so that it doesn't bite
most kernels whenever gcc becomes stricter. Problems with HIDENAME()
in userland are smaller because userland mostly doesn't use strict
flags yet. There are some advantages to hiding the name of mcount,
but newer arches shouldn't do it; only amd64 does.

On second thoughts hide tmpstk better by staticizing it.
- cut the version string at the newline, suppressing information about
who built the kernel and in what directory. Most of this information
was already lost to truncation.
- on i386, return the precise CPU class (if known) rather than just
"i386". Linux software which uses this information to select
which binary to run often does not know what to make of "i386".
allocation function. With this patch, it prevents continous growth of

to set np->n_size back to the desired size again after calling
nfs_meta_setsize(), since it could end up in nfs_loadattrcache() getting
called, which would change n_size back to the value it had before the
truncate request was issued. The result of this bug is that the size info
cached in the nfsnode becomes incorrect, lseek(fd, ofs, SEEK_END) seeks
past the end of the file, stat() returns the wrong size, etc.

* Merge strchr(3) and strrchr(3) to strchr(3) since the two functions
are almost identical.
* Make the wording of index(3) and strchr(3) more similar.
* mdoc(7) cleanup.

Break out UFS2 and FFS extattr delete and list vnode operations from

cleans up the implementations, and makes the results more readable,

kern.file sysctl, don't return information about processes that
fail p_cansee(td, p). This prevents sockstat and related
programs from seeing file descriptors owned by processes not
in the same jail as the thread, as well as having implications
for MAC, etc.
This is a partial solution: it permits an information leak about
the number of descriptors in the sizing calculation (but this is
not new information, you can also get it from kern.openfiles),
and doesn't attempt to mask file descriptors based on the
properties of the descriptor, only the process referencing it.
However, it provides most of what you want under most
circumstances, without complicating the locking.

for the harp(4) pseudo driver and for loadable native HARP drivers
(like hfa_pci).
To use harp(4) the rc variable natm_interfaces must be set to the
list of NATM interfaces to be used for HARP. These interfaces
will be brought up with ifconfig and the harp(4) will be loaded.
To use loadable native HARP drivers atm_load must be set to
the list of drivers to load.
