A more elegant way of obtaining a name of a character device by its file
descriptor on FreeBSD, is to use the FIODGNAME ioctl. Because a valid
file descriptor implies a file descriptor is visible in /dev, it will
always resolve a valid device name.
I'm adding a more friendly wrapper for this ioctl, called fdevname(). It
is a lot easier to use than devname() and also has better error
handling. When a device name cannot be resolved, it will just return
NULL instead of a generated device name that makes no sense.

Just like the old TTY layer, the current MPSAFE TTY layer does not make
any attempt to serialize calls of write(). Data is copied into the
kernel in 256 (TTY_STACKBUF) byte chunks. If a write() call occurs at
the same time, the data may interleave. This is especially likely when
the TTY starts blocking, because the output queue reaches the high
watermark.
I've implemented this by adding a new flag, TTY_BUSY_OUT, which is used
to mark a TTY as having a thread stuck in write(). Because I don't want
non-blocking processes to be possibly blocked by a sleeping thread, I'm
still allowing it to bypass the protection. According to this message,
the Linux kernel returns EAGAIN in such cases, but I think that's a
little too restrictive:

from the parent to the child process if they have an operation vector
of &badfileops. This narrows a set of races involving system calls that
allocate a new file descriptor, potentially block for some extended
period, and then return the file descriptor, when invoked by a threaded
program that concurrently invokes fork(2). Similar approches are used
in both Solaris and Linux, and the wideness of this race was introduced
in FreeBSD when we moved to a more optimistic implementation of
accept(2) in order to simplify locking.
A small race necessarily remains because the fork(2) might occur after
the finit() in accept(2) but before the system call has returned, but
that appears unavoidable using current APIs. However, this race is
vastly narrower.
The fix can be validated using the newfileops_on_fork regression test.

routines to actually release the ppbus and thus fixes the hangs noticed
with the lpt(4) driver since the recent ppbus changes. The old lpt(4)
driver didn't actually check the HAVEBUS flag in lpt_release_ppbus() which
is why these bugs weren't noticed before.
allocated in a fork(2)-inheritable way at the beginning or end of an
accept(2) system call. This test creates a test thread and blocks it
in accept(2), then forks a child process which tests to see if the
next available file descriptor is defined or not (EBADF vs EINVAL for
ftruncate(2)).
This detects a regression introduced during the network stack locking
work, in which a very narrow race during which fork(2) from one
thread during accept(2) in a second thread lead to an extra inherited
file descriptor turned into a very wide race ensuring that a
descriptor was leaked into the child even though it hadn't been
returned.

File format loading functions should avoid printing any additional
informations but just returning appropriate (and different between each

Additively, the linker should handle appropriately different format
