vm_mmap() as well as the GETATTR etc.
- If the handle is a vnode in vm_mmap() assert that it is locked.
- Wiggle Giant around a little to account for the extra vnode operation.
They provided little benefit (if any) and they caused some problems
in OpenOffice, at least in post-KSE -current and perhaps in other
environments too. The nanosleep calls prevented the profiling timer
from advancing during the spinloops, thereby preventing the thread
scheduler from ever pre-empting the spinning thread. Alexander
Kabaev diagnosed this problem, Martin Blapp helped with testing,
and Matt Dillon provided some helpful suggestions.
This is a short-term fix for a larger problem. The use of spinlocking
isn't guaranteed to work in all cases. For example, if the spinning
thread has higher priority than all other threads, it may never be
pre-empted, and the thread holding the lock may never progress far
enough to release the lock. On the other hand, spinlocking is the
only locking that can work with an arbitrary unknown threads package.
I have some ideas for a much better fix in the longer term. It
would eliminate all locking inside the dynamic linker by making it
safe for symbol lookups and lazy binding to proceed in parallel
with a call to dlopen or dlclose. This means that the only mutual
exclusion needed would be to prevent multiple simultaneous calls
to dlopen and/or dlclose. That mutual exclusion could be put into
the native pthreads library. Applications using foreign threads
packages would have to make their own arrangements to ensure that
they did not have multiple threads in dlopen and/or dlclose -- a
reasonable requirement in my opinion.

Changed release notes: KSE (rewrite and status update), Binutils
2.12.1 (20020622 snapshot).
MFCs noted: libpcap-0.7.1, tcpdump-3.7.1, OpenSSH through 3.4p1.
Also retroactively note some OpenSSH items as MFC-ed and historic.
I'm not sure when these were merged, but I'm pretty sure it was a long
time ago.
- Cache a pointer to the vnode's object in the buf.
- Hold a reference to that object in addition to the vnode's reference just
to be consistent.
- Cleanup code that got the object indirectly through the vp and VOP calls.
This fixes at least one case where we were calling GETVOBJECT without a lock.
It also avoids an expensive layered call at the cost of another pointer in
struct buf.
- Grab the vnode object early in exec when we still have the vnode lock.
- Cache the object in the image_params.
- Make use of the cached object in imgact_*.c
- Switch to the new vop_strategy_pre for lock validation.
VOP_STRATEGY requires only that the buf is locked UNLESS the block numbers need
to be translated. There may be other reasons, but as long as the underlying
layer uses a VOP to perform the operations they will be caught later.
- Disable original vop_strategy lock specification.
- Switch to the new vop_strategy_pre for lock validation.

in the VOP inlines. This is intended to replace the simple locking
specifications for calls that have more complicated behavior such as rename and
lookup.
The syntax of the new entries is:
#! name pre/post function
If the function is marked 'pre' it is executed prior to calling the VOP and
takes a pointer to a struct vop_{name}_args as it's only parameter.
If the function is marked 'post' it is executed after the VOP call and takes
a pointer to a struct vop_{name}_args as it's first parameter and the integer
return value from the vop as the second paramter.
now it should support all the instructions of the old ipfw.
Fix some bugs in the user interface, /sbin/ipfw.
Please check this code against your rulesets, so i can fix the
remaining bugs (if any, i think they will be mostly in /sbin/ipfw).
Once we have done a bit of testing, this code is ready to be MFC'ed,
together with a bunch of other changes (glue to ipfw, and also the
removal of some global variables) which have been in -current for
a couple of weeks now.

Once upon a time (in rev. 1.81), COPYRIGHT and FREEBSD
were multi-value.
Moved installation of /var/log/cron to where it belongs
(this finishes the change in rev. 1.205).
Removed (with extreme prejudice) a bunch of parentheses
that unnecessarily obfuscated this makefile.
Run pwd_mkdb(8) right after master.passwd is installed.
Install nsmb.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/.
o Fix zero payloading, unbreak ping -s 0.
o Increase socket recieve buffer, ping -s 65467 is working now.
