in a SMP system. Unexpected things could happen if each cpu
has a different ldt setting and one cpu tries to use value
of currentldt set by another cpu.
The fix is to move currentldt to the per-cpu area. It includes
patches I filed in PR i386/6219 which are also user ldt related.

can be used to select them. The purpose of this is not necessarily to
allow another host format, but to allow us to use the objformat trickery
for cross compilation.
clustering is obsolescent technology so hardly anyone noticed. On
a DORS 32160 SCSI drive with 4 tags, read clustering makes very
little difference even for huge sequential reads. However, on a
ZIP SCSI drive with 0 tags, the minimum overhead per block is about
40 msec, so very large clusters must be used to get anywhere near
the maximum transfer rate. Using clusters consisting of 1 8K block
reduces the transfer rate to about 250K/sec. Under msdosfs, missing
read clustering is normal and a cluster size of 1 512 byte block
reduces the transfer rate to about 25K/sec.
Broken in: rev.1.18
- replaced bogus dependencies of distribution sources on generated
sources by the same ones that bsd.lib.mk would generate if it knew
all the sources. We shoot ourself in the foot by not naming the
generated (included) sources *.h, so we can just put the generated
sources in SRCS.
- replaced -I${.CURDIR} by `-I.'. Here `.' is an alias for ${.OBJDIR}.
-I${.CURDIR} didn't do anything, since ${.CURDIR} is the default in
all cases here (it would be necessary for ""-style includes made from
sources in ${.OBJDIR}.
Don't use `+=' for setting CLEANFILES for the first time.
Added $Id$.
an *interactive* command for newbies. The pw(8) does now a much better
job for adding users from command line. Also, the -batch option is
not well tested, buggy and unsupported.
not the necessarily the same as the seconds part of getmicrotime()
yet, and anyway, we should have used `time_second' if we only wanted
a sloppy value for the seconds part. There is no point in making
ibcs2's time(2) more efficient than FreeBSD's time(3).
- Fix the README to reflect the new status of the ftp code.
- Change tons of 'if (xxx < 0)' to 'if (xxx == -1)'
- Add two new interface functions
- Fix the Makefile so it actually works (yay!)
Now the manpage is lagging even further behind... :( Next on the todo
list is to clean up the http code.
