- Stash the slab pointer in the vm page's object pointer when allocating from
the kmem_obj.
- Use the overloaded object pointer to find slabs for malloced memory.
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

- Use ucontext_t's to store KSE thread state.
- Synthesize state for the UTS upon each upcall, rather than
saving and copying a trapframe.
- Deliver signals to KSE-aware processes via upcall.
- Rename kse mailbox structure fields to be more BSD-like.
- Store the UTS's stack in struct proc in a stack_t.

next step is to allow > 1 to be allocated per process. This would give
multi-processor threads. (when the rest of the infrastructure is

While doing this I noticed libkvm and sys/kern/kern_proc.c:fill_kinfo_proc

functions. We add pnpinfo, locationinfo, devflags (the newbus flags
on the device), flags (the flags that device_get_flags returns) and
state to the list of things we return.
pnpinfo and locationinfo are place holders at the moment that will be
filled in by the device's parent (optionally). Userland programs will
likely use this information from time to time and take appropriate
actions.
Improvements to devinfo to follow.

This case only occurred when setugidsafety() needed to close unsafe files.

v_tag is now const char * and should only be used for debugging.
Additionally:
1. All users of VT_NTS now check vfsconf->vf_type VFCF_NETWORK
2. The user of VT_PROCFS now checks for the new flag VV_PROCDEP, which
is propagated by pseudofs to all child vnodes if the fs sets PFS_PROCDEP.

Introduce biowait() function. Currently there is a race condition and the
mitigation is a timeout/retry. It is not obvious what kind of locking (if any)
is suitable for BIO_DONE, since the majority of users take are of this
themselves, and only a few places actually rely on the wakeup.

- Re-optimize the case of utrace being disabled by doing an explicit
KTRPOINT check instead of relying on the one in ktr_getrequest() so that
we don't waste time on a malloc in the non-tracing case.
- Change utrace() to return an error if the copyin() fails. Before it
would just ignore the request but still return success. This last is
a change in behavior and can be backed out if necessary.
transfer to a malloc'd buffer and use that bufer for the ktrace event.
This means that genio ktrace events no longer need to be synchronous.
- Now that ktr_buffer isn't overloaded to sometimes point to a cached uio
pointer for genio requests and always points to a malloc'd buffer if not
NULL, free the buffer in ktr_freerequest() instead of in
ktr_writerequest(). This closes a memory leak for ktrace events that
used a malloc'd buffer that had their vnode ripped out from under them
while they were on the todo list.

- Rename kern.ktrace_request_pool tunable/sysctl to
kern.ktrace.request_pool.
- Add a variable to control the max amount of data to log for genio events.
This variable is tunable via the tunable/sysctl kern.ktrace.genio_size
and defaults to one page.
Changed rename(2) to follow the letter of the POSIX spec. POSIX
requires rename() to have no effect if its args "resolve to the same
existing file". I think "file" can only reasonably be read as referring
to the inode, although the rationale and "resolve" seem to say that
sameness is at the level of (resolved) directory entries.
ext2fs_vnops.c, ufs_vnops.c:
Replaced code that gave the historical BSD behaviour of removing one
link name by checks that this code is now unreachable. This fixes
some races. All vnodes needed to be unlocked for the removal, and
locking at another level using something like IN_RENAME was not even
attempted, so it was possible for rename(x, y) to return with both x
and y removed even without any unlink(2) syscalls (one process can
remove x using rename(x, y) and another process can remove y using
rename(y, x)).

- Get the initial mode from the prom settings and don't clobber the mode
on open.
- Copy output into an internal ring buffer instead of accessing the tty
outq directly in the interrupt handler. This fixes a problem where
garbage would show up in the output stream.
- Reset the console port completely and reprogram all the parameters
before enabling it. This fixes seemingly random hangs on startup
when using a fast interrupt handler.
- Add minimal locking in place of spls.
- Remove dead code and minor cleanups.
