after loading such a kernel, "module_path" will be set to
an insane value. Fixed example by providing an equivalent
setting. For the record, when automatically loading a
kernel (commands "boot" and "boot-conf"), the following is
tried, in this order:
path=/boot/${kernel} file=${bootfile}
path=/boot/${kernel} file=${kernel}
path=${kernel} file=${bootfile}
path=${kernel} file=${kernel}
path=${module_path} file=${kernel}
Document this. These changes make it possible to write something like
set device "!/usr/bin/rfcomm_sppd -a BD_ADDR"
inside the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. Very convenient for the users :)

MP machines (hopefully). CPU timers are OK on UP machines but we
don't keep the timers in sync on MP machines so if the CPU's timer
is chosen as the primary timecounter it's possible for time to
not be monotonically increasing because different CPU's counters
may be used at different times. But the CPU's counters are otherwise
one of the higher quality counters available. So, on UP machines
we'll use a relatively high quality value but on MP machines we'll
use a quality that should prevent the CPU's counters from being chosen.

random garbage. The choice of value being set is part of a larger effort
to solve some timecounter issues on MP machines (while working on that
we noticed this problem).

For now assert Giant in ttycreate() and ttyfree(). It is not obvious that
it will ever pay off to lock these with anything else.

- The -c option is currently a no-op.
- The -D and -h options do not allow switching between

(This used to be true for the old biosdisk boot code,

malloc is called M_WAITOK but no locking is provided (yet). A bit of
experience will be necessary to determine the best strategy. Hopefully
a "caller provides locking" strategy can be maintained, but that may
require use of M_NOWAIT allocation and failure handling.

Correct handling of SADB_UPDATE and SADB_ADD requests. key_align may
split the mbuf due to use of m_pulldown. Discarding the result because
of this does not make sense as no subsequent code depends on the entire
msg being linearized (only the individual pieces). It's likely
something else is wrong here but for now this appears to get things back
to a working state.

in the meantime there are machines where raising IPI_RETRIES does
help - it's not just a case of the machine staying locked up longer
and then panic-ing anyway. Several helpful folks on sparc64@ tried
a patch that helped figure out what to raise this number to.

pmap_copy(). This entails additional locking in pmap_copy() and the
addition of a "flags" parameter to the page table page allocator for
specifying whether it may sleep when memory is unavailable. (Already,
pmap_copy() checks the availability of memory, aborting if it is scarce.
In theory, another CPU could, however, allocate memory between
pmap_copy()'s check and the call to the page table page allocator,
causing the current thread to release its locks and sleep. This change
makes this scenario impossible.)

to make sure the pipe is ready. Some devices apparently don't support
the clear stall command however. So what happens when you issue such
devices a clear stall command? Typically, the command just times out.
This, at least, is the behavior I've observed with two devices that
I own: a Rio600 mp3 player and a T-Mobile Sidekick II.
It used to be that after the timeout expired, the pipe open operation
would conclude and you could still access the device, with the only
negative effect being a long delay on open. But in the recent past,
someone added code to make the timeout a fatal error, thereby breaking
the ability to communicate with these devices in any way.
I don't know exactly what the right solution is for this problem:
presumeably there is some way to determine whether or not a device
supports the 'clear stall' command beyond just issuing one and waiting
to see if it times out, but I don't know what that is. So for now,
I've added a special case to the error checking code so that the
timeout is once again non-fatal, thereby letting me use my two
devices again.
