the MAC policy modules to improve robustness against C string
bugs and vulnerabilities. Following these revisions, all
string construction of labels for export to userspace (or
elsewhere) is performed using the sbuf API, which prevents
the consumer from having to perform laborious and intricate
pointer and buffer checks. This substantially simplifies
the externalization logic, both at the MAC Framework level,
and in individual policies; this becomes especially useful
when policies export more complex label data, such as with
compartments in Biba and MLS.
Bundled in here are some other minor fixes associated with
externalization: including avoiding malloc while holding the
process mutex in mac_lomac, and hence avoid a failure mode
when printing labels during a downgrade operation due to
the removal of the M_NOWAIT case.
This has been running in the MAC development tree for about
three weeks without problems.

"ipid" options. This feature has been requested by several users.
On passing, fix some minor bugs in the parser. This change is fully
backward compatible so if you have an old /sbin/ipfw and a new
kernel you are not in trouble (but you need to update /sbin/ipfw
if you want to use the new features).
Document the changes in the manpage.
Now you can write things like
ipfw add skipto 1000 iplen 0-500
which some people were asking to give preferential treatment to
short packets.
The 'MFC after' is just set as a reminder, because I still need
to merge the Alpha/Sparc64 fixes for ipfw2 (which unfortunately
change the size of certain kernel structures; not that it matters
a lot since ipfw2 is entirely optional and not the default...)

Several of the subtypes have an associated vnode which is used for
stuff like the f*() functions.
By giving the vnode a speparate field, a number of checks for the specific
subtype can be replaced simply with a check for f_vnode != NULL, and
we can later free f_data up to subtype specific use.
At this point in time, f_data still points to the vnode, so any code I
might have overlooked will still work.
console, even if there is a TIOCCONS console tty. We were already
doing this after a panic, but it's also useful when entering DDB
for some other reason too.
TIOCCONS console (e.g. xconsole) via a timeout routine instead of
calling into the tty code directly from printf(). This fixes a
number of cases where calling printf() at the wrong time (such as
with locks held) would cause a panic if xconsole is running.
The TIOCCONS message buffer is 8k in size by default, but this can
be changed with the kern.consmsgbuf_size sysctl. By default, messages
are checked for 5 times per second. The timer runs and the buffer
memory remains allocated only at times when a TIOCCONS console is
active.

Reorder how the pci probing in handled. before adding devices, check to
see if the slot is a multi-function device to see if we should probe all
the functions.
Original idea by: imp
with a new implementation that has a mostly reentrant "addchar"
routine, supports multiple message buffers in the kernel, and hides
the implementation details from callers.
The new code uses a kind of sequence number to represend the current
read and write positions in the buffer. This approach (suggested
mainly by bde) permits the read and write pointers to be maintained
separately, which reduces the number of atomic operations that are
required. The "mostly reentrant" above refers to the way that while
it is now always safe to have any number of concurrent writers,
readers could see the message buffer after a writer has advanced
the pointers but before it has witten the new character.

- Avoid calling bread() with different sizes on the same blkno.
Although the buffer cache is designed to handle differing size
buffers, it erroneously tries to write the incorrectly-sized buffer
buffer back to disk before reading the correctly-sized one, even
when it's not dirty. This behaviour caused a panic for read-only
NTFS mounts when INVARIANTS was enabled ("bundirty: buffer x still
