Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno

the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

- Add invfo_rdwr() (for read and write), invfo_ioctl(), invfo_poll(),
and invfo_kqfilter() for use by file types that do not support the
respective operations. Home-grown versions of invfo_poll() were
universally broken (they returned an errno value, invfo_poll()
uses poll_no_poll() to return an appropriate event mask). Home-grown
ioctl routines also tended to return an incorrect errno (invfo_ioctl
returns ENOTTY).
- Use the invfo_*() functions instead of local versions for
unsupported file operations.
- Reorder fileops members to match the order in the structure definition
to make it easier to spot missing members.
- Add several missing methods to linuxfileops used by the OFED shim

of these used invfo_*(), but a dummy fo_stat() implementation was
added.
patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility

psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel
psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future

If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.
That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.
Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

A nice thing about POSIX 2008 is that it finally standardizes a way to
obtain file access/modification/change times in sub-second precision,
namely using struct timespec, which we already have for a very long
time. Unfortunately POSIX uses different names.
This commit adds compatibility macros, so existing code should still
build properly. Also change all source code in the kernel to work
without any of the compatibility macros. This makes it all a less
ambiguous.

Now that pty(4) is a loadable kernel module, I'd better move /dev/ptmx
in there as well. This means that pty(4) now provides almost all
pseudo-terminal compatibility code. This means it's very easy to test
whether applications use the proper library interfaces when allocating
pseudo-terminals (namely posix_openpt and openpty).
Unfortunately, the wrappers that are present in pts(4) don't have the
mechanics to allow pty(4) to be unloaded safely, so I'm forcing this kld
to return EBUSY. This also means we have to enable some extra code in
pts(4) unconditionally.
Proposed by: rwatson
I noticed several drivers in our tree don't actually care about parity
and framing, such as pts(4), snp(4) (and my partially finished console
driver). Instead of duplicating a lot of code, I think we'd better add a
utility function for those drivers to quickly process a buffer of input.
Also change pts(4) and snp(4) to use this function.
- fix write() on pseudo-terminal masters to return the amount of bytes
passed to the TTY, not the amount of bytes read from user.
- fix ttydisc_rint_bypass() to set the high watermark when it cannot
write all input, just like ttydisc_rint() itself.

vnode interlock to protect the knote fields [1]. The locking assumes
that shared vnode lock is held, thus we get exclusive access to knote
either by exclusive vnode lock protection, or by shared vnode lock +
vnode interlock.
Do not use kl_locked() method to assert either lock ownership or the
fact that curthread does not own the lock. For shared locks, ownership
is not recorded, e.g. VOP_ISLOCKED can return LK_SHARED for the shared
lock not owned by curthread, causing false positives in kqueue subsystem
assertions about knlist lock.
Remove kl_locked method from knlist lock vector, and add two separate
assertion methods kl_assert_locked and kl_assert_unlocked, that are
supposed to use proper asserts. Change knlist_init accordingly.
Add convenience function knlist_init_mtx to reduce number of arguments
for typical knlist initialization.

I don't want people to override the mutex when allocating a TTY. It has
to be there, to keep drivers like syscons happy. So I'm creating a
tty_alloc_mutex() which can be used in those cases. tty_alloc_mutex()
should eventually be removed.
The advantage of this approach, is that we can just remove a function,
without breaking the regular API in the future.
This allows users to increase the maximum amount of pseudo-terminals
without changing any source code. Users must increase UT_LINESIZE before
attempting to increase kern.pts_maxdev.
It's better to just use internal language constructs, because it is
likely the compiler has a better opinion on whether to perform inlining,
which is very likely to happen to struct winsize.

- Don't return a negative errno when using an unknown ioctl() on a
pseudo-terminal master device. Be sure to convert ENOIOCTL to ENOTTY,
just like the TTY layer does.
- Even though we should return st_rdev of the master device node when
emulating pty(4) devices, FIODGNAME should still return the name of
the slave device. Otherwise ptsname(3) and ttyname(3) return an
invalid device name.
Inside ptsdrv_{in,out}wakeup() we call KNOTE_LOCKED() to wake up any
kevent(2) users. Because the kqueue handlers are executed synchronously,
we must set PTS_FINISHED before calling ptsdrv_{in,out}wakeup().
Discovered by: nork
All ioctl()'s that aren't implemented by pts(4) are forwarded to the TTY
itself. Unfortunately this is not correct for FIONREAD, because it will
give the wrong amount of bytes that are available to read.

One thing I didn't expect many applications to use, was kqueue() on
pseudo-terminal master devices. There are applications that use kqueue()
on the TTY itself (rtorrent, etc). That doesn't mean we shouldn't
implement this. Libraries like libevent use kqueue() by default, which
means they wouldn't be able to use kqueue().
The old TTY layer implements a very broken version of kqueue() by
performing the actual polling on the TTY device.

It turns out our old TTY layer (and other implementations) block when
you read() on a PTY master device of which the slave device node has not
been opened yet. Our new implementation just returned 0. This caused
applications like telnetd to die in a very subtle way (when child
processes would open the TTY later than the first call to select()).
Introduce a new flag called PTS_FINISHED, which indicates whether we
should block or bail out of a read() or write() occurs.

Because pseudo-terminal master file descriptors no longer have a vnode
underneath, we have to fill in fstat() values ourselves. Make our
implementation somewhat sane by returning the timestamps of the TTY
device node that corresponds with our file descriptor.

As reported by several users on the mailing lists, applications like
screen(1) fail to properly handle ^S and ^Q characters. This was because
MPSAFE TTY didn't implement packet mode (TIOCPKT) yet. Add basic packet
mode support to make these applications work again.
Obtained from: //depot/projects/mpsafetty/...
Unlike pre-MPSAFE TTY, the pts(4) driver always returned ENXIO when a
read() or write() was performed on a pseudo-terminal master device when
the slave device was not opened. The old implementation had different
semantics:
- When the slave device had not been opened yet, read() and write() just
blocked.
- When the slave device had been closed, a read() call would return 0
bytes length.
- When the slave device had been closed, a write() call would return
EIO.
Change the new implementation to return 0 and EIO as well. We don't
implement the first rule, but I suspect this is not needed, because
routines like openpty() also open the slave device node. posix_openpt()
users also do similar things.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.
