This fixes a boatload of compiler warning, and removes a lot of cruft
from the sources.
I have not removed the /*ARGSUSED*/, they will require some looking at.

at moment of delivery. Restoring the signal mask after the tsleep()
is next to useless since the signal is still queued.. This was interacting
with usleep(3) on receipt of a SIGALRM causing it to near busy loop.
Now, we set the new signal mask "permanently" for signanosleep().
Problem noted by: bde
Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks".
A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely
during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once
interrupt services are available. This callback will occur before
the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration
task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete
any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init.
System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered. The
hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task
is complete or the system boot can continue.
kern_acct.c kern_clock.c kern_exit.c kern_synch.c kern_time.c:
Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout
service. The new implemntaion is based on the work of
Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical
report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities".
The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one
outlined in the paper. The new function prototypes are:
struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *),
void *arg, int ticks);
void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg,
struct callout_handle handle);
If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the
callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout.
The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts
making this interface scale well even for applications that
keep 100s of callouts outstanding.
See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details.
shared function.
- use p->p_sleepend to try and get more accurate "time remaining" results
when the time has been adjusted.
- verify writeability of return address so that we can fail before sleeping
if the address for the result is bogus.
Serious:
- An important timevalfix() in settime[ofday]() was lost.
Not so serious:
- There was a race initializing `delta' in the check for setting the
time backwards.
- The `#ifdef notyet' check for setting the time more than a day forwards
was back to front.
[[I deleted the code, it's useless because of iteration - Peter]]
- The timespec was not checked for validity in clock_settime().
- The timespec was not fully checked for validity in nanotime(). The
check in itimerfix() is too late, since the conversion from a timespec
to a timeval may overflow.
- A garbage timeval was checked in settimeofday() for the (uap->tv == NULL
&& uap->tzp != NULL) case. I added the broken check this some time ago.
Cosmetic:
- The "inadvertantly (sic) sleeping forever" test always failed. hzto()
always returns >= 1.
- The style wasn't very KNFish. (I only changed new code.)

in NetBSD. The core of settimeofday() is moved to a seperate static
function settime() which both clock_settime() and settimeofday() call.
Note that I picked up the securelevel > 1 check from NetBSD that prevents
the clock being set backwards in high securelevel mode (this was a hole
that allowed resetting of inode access timestamps to arbitary values)
Obtained from: mostly from NetBSD, but the settime() function is from
our gettimeofday(), some tweaks by me.
null casts. `time' is nonvolatile for accesses within a region locked
by splclock()/splx(). Accesses outside such a region are invalid, and
splx() must have the side effect of potentially changing all global
variables (since there are hundreds of sort of volatile variables like
`time'), so declaring `time' as volatile didn't have any real benefits.

The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.
Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

never used LISP to any extent). So I compiled the kernel with -Wall and
shut up a lot of "suggest you add ()'s", removed a bunch of unused var's
and added a couple of declarations here and there. Having a lap-top is
highly recommended. My kernel still runs, yell at me if you kernel breaks.
