If hw.hasbrokenint12="1" in loader environment, kernel never use BIOS
INT 12 call to determine base memory size.
Otherwise, kernel use INT 12 in old behaviour.
This should fix kernel panic problem caused by 1.544 changes.

sysctls to MI code; this reduces code duplication and makes all of them
available on sparc64, and the latter two on powerpc.
The semantics by the i386 and pc98 hw.availpages is slightly changed:
previously, holes between ranges of available pages would be included,
while they are excluded now. The new behaviour should be more correct
and brings i386 in line with the other architectures.
Move physmem to vm/vm_init.c, where this variable is used in MI code.
take advantage of the fact that the vm object's list of pages is
now ordered to reduce the overhead of finding the desired set of
pages to be mapped. (See revision 1.215 of vm/vm_page.c.)
remove global variable in_vm86call, set vm86 calling flag in PCB flags.
2.Fix vm86 BIOS calling preempted problem by changing vm86_lock mutex type
from MTX_DEF to MTX_SPIN. vm86pcb is not remembered in thread struct,
when the thread calling vm86 BIOS is preempted by interrupt thread,
and later switching back to the thread would cause incorrect context be
loaded into CPU registers, this leads to kernel crash.
not look like the prerequisites to fill it in properly will be in the tree
for the upcoming release, but it's mostly done, so there is no need for these
to stay around to remind us.
o It turns out that we always need to try to route the interrupts for
the case where the $PIR tells us there can be only one. Some machines
require this, while others fail when we try to do this (bogusly, imho).
Since we have no apriori way of knowing which is which, we always try to
do the routing and hope for the best if things fail.
o Add some additional comments that state the obvious, but amplify it in
non-obvious ways (judging from the questions I've gotten).
This should un-break older laptops that still have to use PCIBIOS to route
interrupts.

handling clean and functional as 5.x evolves. This allows some of the
nasty bandaids in the 5.x codepaths to be unwound.
Encapsulate 4.x signal handling under COMPAT_FREEBSD4 (there is an
anti-foot-shooting measure in place, 5.x folks need this for a while) and
finish encapsulating the older stuff under COMPAT_43. Since the ancient
stuff is required on alpha (longjmp(3) passes a 'struct osigcontext *'
to the current sigreturn(2), instead of the 'ucontext_t *' that sigreturn
is supposed to take), add a compile time check to prevent foot shooting
there too. Add uniform COMPAT_43 stubs for ia64/sparc64/powerpc.
Tested on: i386, alpha, ia64. Compiled on sparc64 (a few days ago).

Try INT 15H/E820H first, then fall back to the old compatibility

This is a workaround for newer machines which have broken INT 12H BIOS

However, long doubles to appear to work to the ranges listed in this

rounding issues with long doubles, but that's an orthogonal issue to
these constants.

This is for the not-quite-ready signal/fpu abi stuff. It may not see

when getting shot in the foot due to syscall number conflicts.
execve_secure() system call, which permits a process to pass in a label
for a label change during exec. This permits SELinux to change the
label for the resulting exec without a race following a manual label
change on the process. Because this interface uses our general purpose
MAC label abstraction, we call it execve_mac(), and wrap our port of
SELinux's execve_secure() around it with appropriate sid mappings.

The primary reason for this is to allow MD code to process machine
specific attributes, segments or sections in the ELF file and
update machine specific state accordingly. An immediate use of this
is in the ia64 port where unwind information is updated to allow
debugging and tracing in/across modules. Note that this commit
does not add the functionality to the ia64 port. See revision 1.9
of ia64/ia64/elf_machdep.c.

ACL configuration changes, this shouldn't result in different code paths
for file systems not explicitly configured for ACLs by the system
administrator. For UFS1, administrators must still recompile their
kernel to add support for extended attributes; for UFS2, it's sufficient
to enable ACLs using tunefs or at mount-time (tunefs preferred for
reliability reasons). UFS2, for a variety of reasons, including
performance and reliability, is the preferred file system for use with
ACLs.

2. Update a comment. We now restore much more than RTC updates and
interrupts.
3. Order change. Stop interrupts by writing to RTC_STATUSB,
restore rate bits for the interrupts by writing to RTC_STATUSA,
then enable interrupts again.
This seems to be done perfectly backwards in startrtclock().
Otherwise, the idea for this change was obtained from
startrtclock().
4. Don't stop the clock (RTCB_HALT). We only program some control bits
and don't want to stop the clock.
5. (Not really related.) Add caveats to the comment about timer_restore().
The update is non-atomic since locking is not done.
On locking:
6. rtcin() and writertc() are locked() adequately by splhigh() in RELENG_4,
but this locking is null in -current.
7. Doing things in the correct order in (3) combined with (6) is probably
enough locking for rtcrestore() in RELENG_4. In -current, the
writertc()'s race with rtcintr() unless the BIOS disables RTC interrupts.
