Feeding any file encoded in 8 bit locales such as KOI8-RU
to sort utility running under UTF-8 locale produces astonishing
result of recoding the output to UTF-8. To counter that, just
run sort under 'C' locale for now.
connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.
Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:
- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.
Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.
Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,
Olivier Cochard, gjb@, mmoll@, op@ and lev@, who also participated in
testing.

a panic), but instead just move on to the next directive in the

remove duplicates. We cannot sort SUBDIR because many Makefiles
have .WAIT in the list which is strongly ordering. Rather than
try to second guess when to sort and when to not sort depending
on .WAIT being in the list, just remove duplicates.

armv6. It's too ambiguous. We do use the softfp ABI for the moment on
armv6, but we allow floating point register use (and the compilers
will generate it). This is too ambiguous to use it as a decider for
which algorithms to use on the platform. Err on the side of caution
and not define it.

After the command is pushed to ITS command ring the completion

Convert filemon_lock and struct filemon* lock to sx(9), rather than a
self-rolled reader-writer lock, and hold it for the entire time needed.
At least filemon_lock_write() was not checking for active readers when
it would successfully return with the write lock "held". This led to
a race with reading entries from filemon_inuse as they were removed. This
could be seen with QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG enabled, causing -1 to be read as an
entry rather than a valid struct filemon*.
Fixing filemon_lock_write() to check readers was insufficient to fix the
races.
sx(9) was used as the lock could be held while taking proctree_lock and sleeping
in fo_write.
