- Introduce a helper function if_setflag() containing the code common
to ifpromisc() and if_allmulti() instead of duplicating the code poorly,
with different bugs.
- Call ifp->if_ioctl() in a consistent way: always use more compatible C
syntax and check whether ifp->if_ioctl is not NULL prior to the call.

statistics via a binary structure stream:
- Add structure 'malloc_type_stream_header', which defines a stream
version, definition of MAXCPUS used in the stream, and a number of
malloc_type records in the stream.
- Add structure 'malloc_type_header', which defines the name of the
malloc type being reported on.
- When the sysctl is queried, return a stream header, followed by a
series of type descriptions, each consisting of a type header
followed by a series of MAXCPUS malloc_type_stats structures holding
per-CPU allocation information. Typical values of MAXCPUS will be 1
(UP compiled kernel) and 16 (SMP compiled kernel).
This query mechanism allows user space monitoring tools to extract
memory allocation statistics in a machine-readable form, and to do so
at a per-CPU granularity, allowing monitoring of allocation patterns
across CPUs in order to better understand the distribution of work and
memory flow over multiple CPUs.
While here:
- Bump statistics width to uint64_t, and hard code using fixed-width
type in order to be more sure about structure layout in the stream.
We allocate and free a lot of memory.
- Add kmemcount, a counter of the number of registered malloc types,
in order to avoid excessive manual counting of types. Export via a
new sysctl to allow user-space code to better size buffers.
- De-XXX comment on no longer maintaining the high watermark in old
sysctl monitoring code.
A follow-up commit of libmemstat(3), a library to monitor kernel memory
allocation, will occur in the next few days. Likewise, similar changes
to UMA.
process that caused the clone event to take place for the device driver
creating the device. This allows cloned device drivers to adapt the
device node based on security aspects of the process, such as the uid,
gid, and MAC label.
- Add a cred reference to struct cdev, so that when a device node is
instantiated as a vnode, the cloning credential can be exposed to
MAC.
- Add make_dev_cred(), a version of make_dev() that additionally
accepts the credential to stick in the struct cdev. Implement it and
make_dev() in terms of a back-end make_dev_credv().
- Add a new event handler, dev_clone_cred, which can be registered to
receive the credential instead of dev_clone, if desired.
- Modify the MAC entry point mac_create_devfs_device() to accept an
optional credential pointer (may be NULL), so that MAC policies can
inspect and act on the label or other elements of the credential
when initializing the skeleton device protections.
- Modify tty_pty.c to register clone_dev_cred and invoke make_dev_cred(),
so that the pty clone credential is exposed to the MAC Framework.
While currently primarily focussed on MAC policies, this change is also
a prerequisite for changes to allow ptys to be instantiated with the UID
of the process looking up the pty. This requires further changes to the
pty driver -- in particular, to immediately recycle pty nodes on last
close so that the credential-related state can be recreated on next
lookup.

o Add two new ioctl's KBADDKBD and KBRELKBD. These are used to add and remove
keyboard to (and from) kbdmux(4) keyboard multiplexer;
o Introduce new kbd_find_keyboard2() function. It does exactly the same job
as kbd_find_keyboard() function except it allows to specify starting index.
This function can be used to iterate over keyboards array;
o Re-implement kbd_find_keyboard() as call to kbd_find_keyboard2() with starting
index of zero;
o Make sure syscons(4) passed KBADDKBD and KBRELKBD ioctl's onto currently
active keyboard.
These changes should not have any visible effect.

1) An unquoted space is always a separator, even when not "in_arg".
2) When a new destination buffer must be allocated during variable
substitution, only copy data from the active buffer to the new
one when we *are* "in_arg".
These were noticed when testing variable-substitution of variables
which have null values, and are not inside quoted strings...
MFC plans: after a few days, and re@ approval...
- Make sure timer0_max_count is set to a correct value in the lapic case.
- Revert i8254_restore() to explicitly reprogram timer 0 rather than
calling set_timer_freq() to do it. set_timer_freq() only reprograms
the counter if the max count changes which it never does on resume. This
unbreaks suspend/resume for several people.
