controllers typically have multiple channels and support a number
of serial communications protocols. The scc(4) driver is itself
an umbrella driver that delegates the control over each channel
and mode to a subordinate driver (like uart(4)).
The scc(4) driver supports the Siemens SAB 82532 and the Zilog
Z8530 and replaces puc(4) for these devices.
a lock's priority to a sleeping thread. When we panic, dump a stack
trace of the thread that is asleep if DDB is compiled into the kernel
just before calling panic(). This is much more informative and useful
for debugging than the current behavior of getting a page fault and not
having an easy way of determining which thread caused the original problem.

Kernel changes:
Inform hwpmc of executable objects brought into the system by
kldload() and mmap(), and of their removal by kldunload() and
munmap(). A helper function linker_hwpmc_list_objects() has been
added to "sys/kern/kern_linker.c" and is used by hwpmc to retrieve
the list of currently loaded kernel modules.
The unused `MAPPINGCHANGE' event has been deprecated in favour
of separate `MAP_IN' and `MAP_OUT' events; this change reduces
space wastage in the log.
Bump the hwpmc's ABI version to "2.0.00". Teach hwpmc(4) to
handle the map change callbacks.
Change the default per-cpu sample buffer size to hold
32 samples (up from 16).
Increment __FreeBSD_version.
libpmc(3) changes:
Update libpmc(3) to deal with the new events in the log file; bring
the pmclog(3) manual page in sync with the code.
pmcstat(8) changes:
Introduce new options to pmcstat(8): "-r" (root fs path), "-M"
(mapfile name), "-q"/"-v" (verbosity control). Option "-k" now
takes a kernel directory as its argument but will also work with
the older invocation syntax.
Rework string handling in pmcstat(8) to use an opaque type for
interned strings. Clean up ELF parsing code and add support for
tracking dynamic object mappings reported by a v2.0.00 hwpmc(4).
Report statistics at the end of a log conversion run depending

"fdinit() fails to initialize newfdp->fd_fd.fd_lastfile to -1. This breaks
fdcopy() which will incorrectly set newfdp->fd_freefile to 1 if no files are
open and the last file descriptor marked as unused for fdp was 0. This later
causes descriptor 0 to be unavailable in newfdp when the optimization is
enabled.
When the last file descriptor previously marked as used is nonzero and marked
as unused, fdunused() incorrectly sets fdp->fd_lastfile to fd - 1 due to
fd_last_used() returning (size - 1). This hides the problem that breaks the
optimization."
This allows us to keep the optimization, while un-breaking it.

mac_execve_will_transition(). Under certain circumstances, fdcheckstd() can

of whether so_pcb is non-NULL, eliminating dozens of error cases. For
now, retain the call to sotryfree() in the uipc_abort() path, but this
will eventually move to soabort().
These new assumptions should be largely correct, and will become more so
as the socket/pcb reference model is fixed. Removing the notion that
so_pcb can be non-NULL is a critical step towards further fine-graining
of the UNIX domain socket locking, as the so_pcb reference no longer
needs to be protected using locks, instead it is a property of the socket
life cycle.
