cruft and resulted in loading usually following a null pointer. Use
something closer to the pre-Lite2 code, including not making a copy of
the new filesystem's config info. Not making a copy also fixes a race
for loading and a memory leak for unloading.
Fixed unloading of vfs's. maxvfsconf wasn't maintained.
Look up the vfs to unload by name instead of by number. The numbers
should go away as soon as all mount utilities are converted.
- getnewvnode() and vref() were missing one simple_unlock() each.
- the Lite2 locking changes weren't merged at all in
printlockedvnodes() or sysctl_vnode(). Merging these undid
some KNF style regressions.

inter-process communication mechanisms. Some variables,
like mbuf statistics, are instrumented here for the first
time.
For mbuf statistics: also keep track of m_copym() and
m_pullup() failures, and provide for the user's inspection
the compiled-in values of MSIZE, MHLEN, MCLBYTES, and MINCLSIZE.
- avoid malloc() if the number of fds is small.
- pack the bits better so that `small' is quite large.
- don't waste time generating zero bits for null fd_set pointers or
scanning these bits.
Possibly improved select():
- free malloc()ed storage before returning. This is simpler and I
think huge select()s aren't worth optimizing since they are rare,
relative gain would be small and there would be tiny costs for all
selects().

execve() clears the P_SUGID process flag in execve() if the binary
executed does not have suid or sgid permission bits set.
This also happens when the effective uid is different from the real
uid or the effective gid is different from the real gid. Under
these circumstances, the process still has set id privileges and
the P_SUGID flag should not be cleared.

Successful lstat()s purged an existing entry as well as not caching the
result.
This bug was introduced in Lite1 by setting the LOCKPARENT flag for
[o]lstat() in order to support the inherit-attributes-from-parent-
directory misfeature for symlinks. LOCKPARENT was previously only set
for CREATEs and DELETEs. It is now set for LOOKUPs, but only for
[o]lstat(), so the problem wasn't very noticeable.
the old VFS_VFSCONF sysctl is enabled by default.
Initialize the vfc_vfsops field to non-NULL in sysctl_ovfs_conf()
so that the old VFS_VFSCONF sysctl actually works. The old (still
current) getvfsent.c uses this "kernel-only" field to decide which
vfs's are configured (the old implementation returned null entries
for unconfigured vfs's).

This uses a helper process `mclalloc' to do the allocation if
the system runs out at interrupt time to avoid calling contigmalloc
at high spl. It is not yet clear to me whether this works.

The limit is now only used by init, so it may as well be "infinite".
Don't use RLIM_INFINITY, since setrlimit() doesn't allow setting
that value. Use maxfiles instead of RLIM_INFINITY for the hard
limit for the same reason.
Similarly for the maxprocesses limits (use the "infinite" value of
maxproc instead if MAXUPRC and RLIM_INFINITY).
NOFILES, MAXUPRC, CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX are no longer used in
/usr/src and should go away. Their values are almost guaranteed to
be wrong now that login.conf exists, so anything that uses the values
is broken. Unfortunately, there are probably a lot of ports that
depend on them being defined.
The global limits maxfilesperproc and maxprocperuid should go away
too.

rev.1.10 two years ago. Children continued to run at splhigh()
after returning from vm_fork(). This mainly affected kernel
processes and init. For ordinary processes, interrupts are normally
unmasked a few instructions later after fork() returns (it may be
important for syscall() not to reschedule the child processes).
Kernel processes had workarounds for the problem. Init manages to
start because some routines "know" that it is safe to go to sleep
despite their caller starting them at a high ipl. Then its ipl
gets fixed on its first normal return from a syscall.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Firstly, now our read-ahead clustering is on a file descriptor basis and not
on a per-vnode basis. This will allow multiple processes reading the
same file to take advantage of read-ahead clustering. Secondly, there
previously was a problem with large reads still using the ramp-up
algorithm. Of course, that was bogus, and now we read the entire
"chunk" off of the disk in one operation. The read-ahead clustering
algorithm should use less CPU than the previous also (I hope :-)).
NOTE: THAT LKMS MUST BE REBUILT!!!
Broke locking on named pipes in the same way as locking on non-vnodes
(wrong errno). This will be fixed later.
The fix involves negative logic. Named pipes are now distinguished from
other types of files with vnodes, and there is additional code to handle
vnodes and named pipes in the same way only where that makes sense (not
for lseek, locking or TIOCSCTTY).
