sxlock, via the sx_{s, x}lock_sig() interface, or plain lockmgr), will
leave the waiters flag on forcing the owner to do a wakeup even when if
the waiter queue is empty.
That operation may lead to a deadlock in the case of doing a fake wakeup
on the "preferred" (based on the wakeup algorithm) queue while the other
queue has real waiters on it, because nobody is going to wakeup the 2nd
queue waiters and they will sleep indefinitively.
A similar bug, is present, for lockmgr in the case the waiters are
sleeping with LK_SLEEPFAIL on. In this case, even if the waiters queue
is not empty, the waiters won't progress after being awake but they will
just fail, still not taking care of the 2nd queue waiters (as instead the
lock owned doing the wakeup would expect).
In order to fix this bug in a cheap way (without adding too much locking
and complicating too much the semantic) add a sleepqueue interface which
does report the actual number of waiters on a specified queue of a
waitchannel (sleepq_sleepcnt()) and use it in order to determine if the
exclusive waiters (or shared waiters) are actually present on the lockmgr
(or sx) before to give them precedence in the wakeup algorithm.
This fix alone, however doesn't solve the LK_SLEEPFAIL bug. In order to
cope with it, add the tracking of how many exclusive LK_SLEEPFAIL waiters
a lockmgr has and if all the waiters on the exclusive waiters queue are
LK_SLEEPFAIL just wake both queues.
The sleepq_sleepcnt() introduction and ABI breakage require
__FreeBSD_version bumping.

It turns out these entries do make Terminal.app behave a little better.
According to Thomas Dickey, Terminal.app should use TERM=nsterm anyway,
but we don't support this yet. Already having an improved termcap entry
helps, so I am going to MFC this change after all.

cleanilinks wasn't listed in <bsd.subdir.mk>. Instead of adding it to
/sys/modules/Makefile, we'd better just add it to <bsd.subdir.mk>
directly, so we don't need to change files like /sys/modules/sound/Makefile
as well. This means you can finally clean up all those dangling symlinks
created by individual module compilation at once.
One of the things I really want to do, is to get rid of the limitations
of our current utmp(5) mechanism:
- It only allows 8 byte TTY device names.
- The hostname only allows 16 bytes of storage.
I'm not a big fan of <utmpx.h>, but I think we should at least try to
add parts of it. Unfortunately we cannot implement <utmpx.h>, because we
miss various fields, such as ut_id, ut_pid, etc. The API provided by
libulog shares some similarities with <utmpx.h>, so it shouldn't be too
hard to port these applications eventually. In most simple cases, it
should just be a matter of removing the ulog_ prefix everywhere.
As a bonus, it also implements a function called ulog_login_pseudo(),
which allows unprivileged applications to write log entries, provided
they have a valid file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device.
libulog will allow a smoother transition to a new file format by adding
a library interface to deal with utmp/wtmp/lastlog files. I initially
thought about adding the functionality to libutil, but because I'm not
planning on keeping this library around forever, we'd better keep it
separated.
Next items on the todo list:
1. Port applications in the base system (and ports) to libulog, instead
of letting them use <utmp.h>.
2. Remove <utmp.h>, implement <utmpx.h> and reimplement this library on
top.
3. Port as many applications as possible back to <utmpx.h>.
The hardware is compliant with WDRT specification, so I originally
considered including generic WDRT watchdog support, but decided
against it, because I couldn't find anyone to the code for me.
WDRT seems to be not very popular.
Besides, generic WDRT porbably requires a slightly different driver
approach.

Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:
- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.
Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.
I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.
IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):
- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

handlers. This is primarily intended as a way to allow devices that use
multiple interrupts (e.g. MSI) to meaningfully distinguish the various
interrupt handlers.
- Add a new BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() method to the bus interface to associate
a description with an active interrupt handler setup by BUS_SETUP_INTR.
It has a default method (bus_generic_describe_intr()) which simply passes
the request up to the parent device.
- Add a bus_describe_intr() wrapper around BUS_DESCRIBE_INTR() that supports
printf(9) style formatting using var args.
- Reserve MAXCOMLEN bytes in the intr_handler structure to hold the name of
an interrupt handler and copy the name passed to intr_event_add_handler()
into that buffer instead of just saving the pointer to the name.
- Add a new intr_event_describe_handler() which appends a description string
to an interrupt handler's name.
- Implement support for interrupt descriptions on amd64 and i386 by having
the nexus(4) driver supply a custom bus_describe_intr method that invokes
a new intr_describe() MD routine which in turn looks up the associated
interrupt event and invokes intr_event_describe_handler().
