that the annotated function returns a pointer that doesn't alias any
extant pointer. This results in a 50%+ speedup in microbenchmarks such
as the following:
char *cp = malloc(1), *buf = malloc(BUF);
for (i = 0; i < BUF; i++) buf[i] = *cp;
In real programs, your mileage will vary. Note that gcc already
performs this optimization automatically for any function called
`malloc', `calloc', `strdup', or `strndup' unless -fno-builtins is
used.
So we are no longer interested in the error returned from
the *fs_doio() functions. With that we can remove the
error variable as its value is unused now.

of x. The __null was introduced in gcc 4.1 (in fact it was commited
12 days after release of gcc 4.0) and as we have never released any version
of FreeBSD with gcc 4.0 nor ports support gcc 4.0.x this is a safe check.

After running a `make buildkernel', I noticed most of the Giant locks in
sysctl are only caused by a very small amount of sysctl's:
- sysctl.name2oid. This one is locked by SYSCTL_LOCK, just like
sysctl.oidfmt.
- kern.ident, kern.osrelease, kern.version, etc. These are just constant
strings.
- kern.arandom, used by the stack protector. It is already protected by
arc4_mtx.
I also saw the following sysctl's show up. Not as often as the ones
above, but still quite often:
- security.jail.jailed. Also mark security.jail.list as MPSAFE. They
don't need locking or already use allprison_lock.
- kern.devname, used by devname(3), ttyname(3), etc.
This seems to reduce Giant locking inside sysctl by ~75% in my primitive
test setup.
mutex to a reader/writer lock. Lookup operations first grab a read lock and

then it tries to do an upgrade. If that fails, it drops the read lock,
obtains a write lock, and redoes the lookup.

- Remove 'i_offset' and 'i_ino' from the ISO node structure and replace

- Cache a copy of 'i_diroff' for use during a lookup in a local variable.
- Save a copy of the found directory entry in a malloc'd buffer after a
successfull lookup before getting the vnode. This allows us to release
the buffer holding the directory block before calling vget() which
otherwise resulted in a LOR between "bufwait" and the vnode lock.
- Use an inlined version of vn_vget_ino() to handle races with ..

o remove HAL_CHANNEL; convert the hal to use net80211 channels; this
mostly involves mechanical changes to variable names and channel
attribute macros
o gut HAL_CHANNEL_PRIVATE as most of the contents are now redundant
with the net80211 channel available
o change api for ath_hal_init_channels: no more reglass id's, no more outdoor
indication (was a noop), anM contents
o add ath_hal_getchannels to have the hal construct a channel list without
altering runtime state; this is used to retrieve the calibration list for
the device in ath_getradiocaps
o add ath_hal_set_channels to take a channel list and regulatory data from
above and construct internal state to match (maps frequencies for 900MHz
cards, setup for CTL lookups, etc)
o compact the private channel table: we keep one private channel
per frequency instead of one per HAL_CHANNEL; this gives a big
space savings and potentially improves ani and calibration by
sharing state (to be seen; didn't see anything in testing); a new config
option AH_MAXCHAN controls the table size (default to 96 which
was chosen to be ~3x the largest expected size)
o shrink ani state and change to mirror private channel table (one entry per
frequency indexed by ic_devdata)
o move ani state flags to private channel state
o remove country codes; use net80211 definitions instead
o remove GSM regulatory support; it's no longer needed now that we
pass in channel lists from above
o consolidate ADHOC_NO_11A attribute with DISALLOW_ADHOC_11A
o simplify initial channel list construction based on the EEPROM contents;
we preserve country code support for now but may want to just fallback
to a WWR sku and dispatch the discovered country code up to user space
so the channel list can be constructed using the master regdomain tables
o defer to net80211 for max antenna gain
o eliminate sorting of internal channel table; now that we use ic_devdata
as an index, table lookups are O(1)
o remove internal copy of the country code; the public one is sufficient
o remove AH_SUPPORT_11D conditional compilation; we always support 11d
o remove ath_hal_ispublicsafetysku; not needed any more
o remove ath_hal_isgsmsku; no more GSM stuff
o move Conformance Test Limit (CTL) state from private channel to a lookup
using per-band pointers cached in the private state block
o remove regulatory class id support; was unused and belongs in net80211
o fix channel list construction to set IEEE80211_CHAN_NOADHOC,
IEEE80211_CHAN_NOHOSTAP, and IEEE80211_CHAN_4MSXMIT
o remove private channel flags CHANNEL_DFS and CHANNEL_4MS_LIMIT; these are
now set in the constructed net80211 channel
o store CHANNEL_NFCREQUIRED (Noise Floor Required) channel attribute in one
of the driver-private flag bits of the net80211 channel
o move 900MHz frequency mapping into the hal; the mapped frequency is stored
in the private channel and used throughout the hal (no more mapping in the
driver and/or net80211)
o remove ath_hal_mhz2ieee; it's no longer needed as net80211 does the
calculation and available in the net80211 channel
o change noise floor calibration logic to work with compacted private channel
table setup; this may require revisiting as we no longer can distinguish
channel attributes (e.g. 11b vs 11g vs turbo) but since the data is used
only to calculate status data we can live with it for now
o change ah_getChipPowerLimits internal method to operate on a single channel
instead of all channels in the private channel table
o add ath_hal_gethwchannel to map a net80211 channel to a h/w frequency
(always the same except for 900MHz channels)
o add HAL_EEBADREG and HAL_EEBADCC status codes to better identify regulatory
problems
o remove CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT enum's; these come from net80211 now
o change ath_hal_getwirelessmodes to really return wireless modes supported
by the hardware (was previously applying regulatory constraints)
o return channel interference status with IEEE80211_CHANSTATE_CWINT (should
change to a callback so hal api's can take const pointers)
o remove some #define's no longer needed with the inclusion of
<net80211/_ieee80211.h>

Inside the kernel, the minor() function was responsible for obtaining
the device minor number of a character device. Because we made device
numbers dynamically allocated and independent of the unit number passed
to make_dev() a long time ago, it was actually a misnomer. If you really
want to obtain the device number, you should use dev2udev().
We already converted all the drivers to use dev2unit() to obtain the
device unit number, which is still used by a lot of drivers. I've
noticed not a single driver passes NULL to dev2unit(). Even if they
would, its behaviour would make little sense. This is why I've removed
the NULL check.
Ths commit removes minor(), minor2unit() and unit2minor() from the
kernel. Because there was a naming collision with uminor(), we can
rename umajor() and uminor() back to major() and minor(). This means
that the makedev(3) manual page also applies to kernel space code now.
I suspect umajor() and uminor() isn't used that often in external code,
but to make it easier for other parties to port their code, I've
increased __FreeBSD_version to 800062.

Note this grows the size of a channel to 16 bytes; which makes the

extended attributes since FreeBSD 5, make the following semantic
changes:
- Don't update the inode modification time (mtime) when extended
attributes (and hence also ACLs) are added, modified, or removed.
- Don't update the inode access tie (atime) when extended attributes
(and hence also ACLs) are queried.
This means that rsync (and related tools) won't improperly think
that the data in the file has changed when only the ACL has changed.
Note that ffs_reallocblks() has not been changed to not update on an
IO_EXT transaction, but currently EAs don't use the cluster write
routines so this shouldn't be a problem. If EAs grow support for
clustering, then VOP_REALLOCBLKS() will need to grow a flag argument
to carry down IO_EXT to UFS.

Even though the code seems to be FreeBSD kernel code, it isn't compiled
on FreeBSD. I could have known this, because I was a little amazed that
I couldn't find a prototype of pfopen()/pfclose() somewhere else,
because it isn't marked as static.
Apart from that, removing these functions wouldn't have been harmful
anyway, because there are some other strange things about them (the
implementation isn't consistent with the prototype at the top). Still,
it's better to leave it, because it makes merging code back to older
branches a little harder.

It turns out I was patching functions that weren't used by pf(4) anyway.
They still seem to use `struct proc *' instead of `struct thread *'.
They weren't listed in pf_cdevsw.
Because it is not possible to access the pf(4) character device through
any other device node as the one in devfs, there is no need to check for

an interpreter definition in its program header), set the auxiliary
ELF argument AT_BASE to 0 rather than to the address that we would
have mapped the interpreter at if there had been one.
The ELF ABI specifications appear to be ambiguous as to the desired
behavior in this situation, as they define AT_BASE as the base address
of the interpreter, but do not mention what to do if there is none.
On Solaris, AT_BASE will be set to the base address of the static
binary if there is no interpreter, and on Linux, AT_BASE is set to 0.
We go with the Linux semantics as they are of more immediate utility
and allow the early runtime environment to know that the kernel has
not mapped an interpreter, but because AT_PHDR points at the ELF
header for the running binary, it is still possible to retrieve all
required mapping information when the process starts should it be
required. Either approach would be preferable to our current behavior
of passing a pointer to an unmapped region of user memory as AT_BASE.
