the symbol index defined by the relocation. The elf_lookup() support
function is to be used by elf_reloc() when symbol lookups need to be
done. The elf_lookup() function operates on the symbol index and
will do a symbol name based lookup when such is required, otherwise
it uses the symbol index directly. This solves the problem seen on
ia64 where the symbol hash table does not contain local symbols and
a symbol name based lookup would fail for those symbols.
Don't pass the symbol name to elf_reloc(), as it isn't used any more.
civilized way which doesn't cause grief.
The problem is that it is not generally safe to cast a "struct bio
*" to a "struct buf *". Things like ccd, vinum, ata-raid and GEOM
constructs bio's which are not entrails of a struct buf.
Also, curthread may or may not have anything to do with the I/O request
at hand.
The correct solution can either be to tag struct bio's with a
priority derived from the requesting threads nice and have disksort
act on this field, this wouldn't address the "silly-seek syndrome"
where two equal processes bang the diskheads from one edge to the
other of the disk repeatedly.
Alternatively, and probably better: a sleep should be introduced
either at the time the I/O is requested or at the time it is completed
where we can be sure to sleep in the right thread.
The sleep also needs to be in constant timeunits, 1/hz can be practicaly
any sub-second size, at high HZ the current code practically doesn't
do anything.
the DT_PLTGOT value. On ia64 this is the value of GP. We need this
to construct function descriptors, but the elf file structure is
not exported to MD code.
Note that the name of the function is based on the meaning that
DT_PLTGOT has on ia64. This may differ on other architectures. As
such, link_elf_get_gp() has a high level of MD to it. Renaming the
function to describe what DT_* value is returned makes it generic,
but also makes the MD code less clear and if we only need this on
ia64, then a general name for a specific function doesn't help.
In short: I don't know what is "right" at this time, so I'll go
with what I have.
in various extattr_*() calls to match the rest of the file. Originally,
these bits at the end looked more like style(9). This patch was submitted
by green by way of the TrustedBSD MAC tree, and I fixed a few problems
with it on the way through. Someone with more time on their hands should
convert the entire file to style(9); this commit is for diff reduction
purposes.

constructing a struct aio and invoking VOP_READ() directly. This cleans
up the code a little, but also has the advantage of making sure almost
all vnode read/write access in the kernel goes through the helper
function, meaning that instrumentation of that helper function can impact
almost all relevant read/write operations. In this case, it permits us
to put MAC hooks into vn_rdwr() and not modify uipc_syscalls.c (yet).
In general, if helper vn_*() functions exist, they should be used in
preference to direct VOP's in system call service code.

environment needed at boot time to a dynamic subsystem when VM is
up. The dynamic kernel environment is protected by an sx lock.
This adds some new functions to manipulate the kernel environment :
freeenv(), setenv(), unsetenv() and testenv(). freeenv() has to be
called after every getenv() when you have finished using the string.
testenv() only tests if an environment variable is present, and
doesn't require a freeenv() call. setenv() and unsetenv() are self
explanatory.
The kenv(2) syscall exports these new functionalities to userland,
mainly for kenv(1).

where some client operations might be unexpectedly cancelled during
an unsuccessful non-forced unmount attempt. This causes problems
for amd(8), because it periodically attempts a non-forced unmount
to check if the filesystem is still in use.
Fix this by adding a new mountpoint flag MNTK_UNMOUNTF that is set
only during the operation of a forced unmount. Use this instead of
MNTK_UNMOUNT to trigger the cancellation of hung NFS operations.
Also correct a problem where dounmount() might inadvertently clear
the MNTK_UNMOUNT flag.

too complicated as the locking in wait1() was being fixed.
- leavepgrp() now requires an exclusive lock of proctree_lock to be held
when it is called.
- fixjobc() no longer gets a shared lock of proctree_lock now that it
requires an xlock be held by the caller.

Apply the change as a continuous slew rather than as a series of
discrete steps and make it possible to adjust arbitraryly huge
amounts of time in either direction.
In practice this is done by hooking into the same once-per-second
loop as the NTP PLL and setting a suitable frequency offset deducting
the amount slewed from the remainder. If the remaining delta is
larger than 1 second we slew at 5000PPM (5msec/sec), for a delta
less than a second we slew at 500PPM (500usec/sec) and for the last
one second period we will slew at whatever rate (less than 500PPM)
it takes to eliminate the delta entirely.
The old implementation stepped the clock a number of microseconds
every HZ to acheive the same effect, using the same rates of change.
Eliminate the global variables tickadj, tickdelta and timedelta and
their various use and initializations.
This removes the most significant obstacle to running timecounter and
NTP housekeeping from a timeout rather than hardclock.
information related to bucket size effeciency. Three things are printed on
each row:
Size is the size the user actually asked for rounded to 16 bytes.
Requests is the number of times this size was asked for.
Real Size is the size we actually handed out.
At the end the total memory used and total waste is displayed. Currently my
system displays about 33% wasted memory.
The intent of this code is to gather statistics for tuning the malloc bucket
sizes. It is not intended to be run with INVARIANTS and it is not entirely
mp safe. It can be enabled via 'options MALLOC_PROFILE' which was commited
earlier.
Updated the kmemzones logic such that the ks_size bitmap can be used as an
index into it to report the size of the zone used.
Create the kern.malloc sysctl which replaces the kvm mechanism to report
similar data. This will provide an easy place for statistics aggregation if
malloc_type statistics become per cpu data.
Add some code ifdef'd under MALLOC_PROFILING to facilitate a tool for sizing
the malloc buckets.

- In killpg1(), the proc lock is sufficient to check if p_stat is SZOMB
or not. We don't need sched_lock.
- Close some races in psignal(). In psignal() there is a big switch
statement based on p_stat. All the different cases are assuming that
the process (or thread) isn't going to change state out from under it.
To ensure this is true, just lock sched_lock for the entire switch. We
practically held it the entire time already anyways. This also
simplifies the locking somewhat and actually results in fewer lock
operations.
