This will not make any of object files that LINT create change; there
might be differences with INET disabled, but hardly anything compiled
before without INET anyway. Now the 'obvious' things will give a
proper error if compiled without inet - ipx_ip, ipfw, tcp_debug. The
only thing that _should_ work (but can't be made to compile reasonably
easily) is sppp :-(
This commit move struct arpcom from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
<net/if_arp.h>.
The #ifdef IPXIP in netipx/ipx_if.h is OK (used from ipx_usrreq.c and
ifconfig.c only).
I also fixed a typo IPXTUNNEL -> IPTUNNEL (and #ifdef'ed out the code
inside, as it never could have compiled - doh.)

Add an option to the way UFS works dependent on the SUID bit of directories
This changes makes things a whole lot simpler on systems running as
fileservers for PCs and MACS. to enable the new code you must
1/ enable option SUIDDIR on the kernel.
2/ mount the filesystem with option suiddir.
hopefully this makes it difficult enough for people to
do this accidentally.
see the new chmod(2) man page for detailed info.
hope i've found out all files that actually depend on this dependancy.
IMHO, it's not very good practice to change the size of internal
structs depending on kernel options.
you don't want this (and the documentation explains why), but if you
use ipfw as an as-needed casual filter as needed which normally runs as
'allow all' then having the kernel and /sbin/ipfw get out of sync is a
*MAJOR* pain in the behind.

that I snuck in to our GDB last year. This allows you to debug headless
machines by sharing the console port between the debugger and the system
console. It's not 100% reliabile, but it works well. It's optional
and disabled by default.

. It makes cd9660 root f/s working again.
. It makes CD9660 a new-style option.
. It adds support to mount an ISO9660 multi-session CD-ROM as the root
filesystem (the last session actually, but that's what is expected
behaviour).
Sigh. The CDIOREADTOCENTRYS did a copyout() of its own, and thus has
been unusable for me for this work. Too bad it didn't simply stuff
the max 100 entries into the struct ioc_read_toc_entry, but relied on
a user supplied data buffer instead. :-( I now had to reinvent the
wheel, and created a CDIOREADTOCENTRY ioctl command that can be used
in a kernel context.
While doing this, i noticed the following bogosities in existing CD-ROM
drivers:
wcd: This driver is likely to be totally bogus when someone tries
two succeeding CDIOREADTOCENTRYS (or now CDIOREADTOCENTRY)
commands with requesting MSF format, since it apparently
operates on an internal table.
scd: This driver apparently returns just a single TOC entry only for
the CDIOREADTOCENTRYS command.
I have only been able to test the CDIOREADTOCENTRY command with the
cd(4) driver. I hereby request the respective maintainers of the
other CD-ROM drivers to verify my code for their driver. When it
comes to merging this CD-ROM multisession stuff into RELENG_2_2 i will
only consider drivers where i've got a confirmation that it actually
works.
Put obsolete GATEWAY option back in opt_defunct.h. It's the only
significant option that has gone away since 2.1.6, so warning about
it might be useful.
variable `kern.maxvnodes' which gives much better control over vnode
allocation than EXTRAVNODES (except in -current between 1995/10/28 and
1996/11/12, kern.maxvnodes was read-only and thus useless).
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.
. use new-style options
. introduce an option OD_AUTO_TURNOFF
. try to use the native geometry as reported by the drive instead of
a faked on -- MOs do have a ``classical'' geometry
. make the scsi_start_unit() actually working
. some cosmetic fixes

to be allocated at boot time. This is an expensive option, as they
consume physical ram and are not pageable etc. In certain situations,
this kind of option is quite useful, especially for news servers that
access a large number of directories at random and torture the name cache.
Defining 5000 or 10000 extra vnodes should cut down the amount of vnode
recycling somewhat, which should allow better name and directory caching
etc.
This is a "your mileage may vary" option, with no real indication of
what works best for your machine except trial and error. Too many will
cost you ram that you could otherwise use for disk buffers etc.
This is based on something John Dyson mentioned to me a while ago.
