Clean up the ttys files shipped with PicoBSD, NanoBSD and TinyBSD. While
there, it seems one of them still had references to sio(4). Make it in
sync with what we do in the base system.
Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:
- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.
Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.
I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.
IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):
- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

netsend 127.0.0.1 6666-7777 [payloadsize] [packet_rate] [duration]
This is useful to test the behaviour of systems that do some kind
of flow classifications and so exhibit different behaviour depending
on the number of flows that hit them.
I plan to add a similar extension to sweep on a range of IP addresses,
so we can issue a single command to flood (obviously, for testing
purposes!) a number of different destinations.
When there is only one destination, we do a preliminary connect()
of the socket so we can use send() instead of sendto().
When we have multiple ports, the socket is not connect()'ed and we
do a sendto() instead. There is a performance hit in this case,
as the throughput on the loopback interface (with a firewall rule
that blocks the transmission) goes down from 900kpps to 490kpps on
my test machine.
If the number of different destinations is limited, one option to
explore is to have multiple connect()ed sockets.

(hardwired to once every 20us at most).
I found out that on many machines round here, i could only get
300-400kpps with netsend even on loopback and a 'deny' rule in
the firewall, while reducing the number of calls to gettimeofday()
brings the value to 900kpps and more.
This code is just a quick fix for the problem. Of course it could be
done better, with proper getopt() parsing and the like, but since
this applies to the entire program i'll postpone that to when i have
more time.

options expected by legacy applications, such as allow operations on
raw sockets, FS mounts etc, and allow jail-related parameters to be
optionally configured.
- introduce the "-m" modifier which allows for configuring jail
parameters of existing vimages / vnet-jails.
- make "vimage name command ..." actually work.
- when reassigning ifnets to vnets using "vimage -i", attempt to rename
the ifnet as "ethXXX" on arrival in the target vnet. Several legacy
applications are known to depend heavily on such behavior.
- vimage -l lists only jails associated with vnets. The output is
sorted using vimage / jail names as keys.
- vimage -l by default searches only the current level in the jail
hierarchy. Recursive listing can be requested via -r switch.
- vimage -l by default prints only jail names on each line, making
such output suitable for pipelining to other commands. More verbose
output can be obtained via -v switch, and even more jail specific
information will be displayed if -j switch is turned on.
- there's no need to build vimage as statically linked, so update the
Makefile accordingly.

net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

any open file descriptors >= 'lowfd'. It is largely identical to the same
function on other operating systems such as Solaris, DFly, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD. One difference from other *BSD is that this closefrom() does not
fail with any errors. In practice, while the manpages for NetBSD and
OpenBSD claim that they return EINTR, they ignore internal errors from
close() and never return EINTR. DFly does return EINTR, but for the common
use case (closing fd's prior to execve()), the caller really wants all
fd's closed and returning EINTR just forces callers to call closefrom() in
a loop until it stops failing.
Note that this implementation of closefrom(2) does not make any effort to
resolve userland races with open(2) in other threads. As such, it is not

sysbuild.sh is a way to build a new FreeBSD system on a computer from

sysbuild.sh assume you have two partitions that can hold your rootfs

system into the one you don't use, from the one you do use.
A partition named /freebsd is assumed to be part of your layout, and
that is where the sources and ports will be found.

- Callwheels traced via KTR_CALLOUT. Each CPU is assigned a callwheel
source. The events on this source are the execution of individual callout
routines. Each routine shows up as a green rectangle while it is executed
and the event details include the function pointer and argument.
- Locks traced via KTR_LOCK. Currently, each lock name is assigned an event
source (since the existing KTR_LOCK traces only include lock names and
not pointers). This does mean that if multiple locks of the same name are
manipulated, the source line for that name may be confusing. However, for
many cases this can be useful. Locks are blue when they are held and
purple when contested. The contention support is a bit weak due to
limitations in the rw_rlock() and mtx_lock_spin() logging messages
currently. I also have not added support for contention on lockmgr,
sx, or rmlocks yet. What is there now can be profitably used to examine
activity on Giant however.
- Expand the width of the event source names column a bit to allow for some
of the longer names of these new source types.
(threads, CPU load counters, etc.). Each source is tagged with a group
and an order similar to the SYSINIT SI_SUB_* and SI_ORDER_*. After
the file is parsed, all the sources are then sorted. Currently, the only
affects of this are that the CPU loads are now sorted by CPU ID (so
CPU 0 is always first). However, this makes it easier to add new types
of event sources in the future and have them all clustered together
instead of intertwined with threads.
- Python lists perform insertions at the tail much faster than insertions
at the head. For a trace that had a lot of events for a single event
source, the constant insertions of new events to the head of the
per-source event list caused a noticable slow down. To compensate,
append new events to the end of the list during parsing and then
reverse the list prior to drawing.
- Somewhere in the tkinter internals the coordinates of a canvas are
stored in a signed 32-bit integer. As a result, if an the box for
an event spans 2^31, it would actually end up having a negative
X offset at one end. The result was a single box that covered the
entire event source. Kris worked around this for some traces by
bumping up the initial ticks/pixel ratio from 1 to 10. However, a
divisor of 10 can still be too small for large tracefiles (e.g.
with 4 million entries). Instead of hardcoding the initial scaling
ratio, calculate it from the time span of the trace file.
- Add support for using the mouse wheel to scroll the graph window
