When I booted my system without the above option, the CDROM could not
respond in time to the bootup probe of devices and was "missed". When
I tried to access the device I got the "Device not configured" error
message. I rebuilt the kernel with the SCSI_DELAY option and the
problem went away.

. remove the blubber about `submitter-id's from the man page, we don't
use them,
. use REPLY_TO or REPLYTO in preference over LOGNAME as the value for
the Reply-To address (closes PRs 1471 and its duplicates 1472 and 1823),
. don't abuse ~/.signature as ORGANIZATION, this is almost always
useless blunder,
. actually list the Categories again, instead of xrefing to ``see
above'' (closes PR 1835),
. check the Synopsis field for being not empty,
. make the mail Subject the same as Synopsis if left blank (closes
PR 1209).
The remaining open send-pr related PRs (184 and its duplicate 1047,
and 1415) are pilot errors or local hardware problems.
Somehow, I also managed to get quite some other changes in this file at
the same time. All I did was checkout the file and made a single change.
If someone has an explanation how these PURIFFY defines got in...
there is keyboard input.
The mousepointer is shown again immediately if moved.
Also a function pointer used to install a userwritten extra
ioctl handler (sc_user_ioctl). This way its is possible to
install user defined videomodes etc etc. No further changes
should be in the kernel.
types being on the same line as the function name, this finally closes
PR # bin/1785. Also allow :: and ~ as part of the function name, for
C++.
Still, C++ operator overloading will not be recognized as a valid
function name. Fixing this would require a major overhaul of the \p
recognition parser.
password: ask for it, but don't tell that S/key password required.
It looks like non-s/key system from outside.
Additionally tell that s/key required when it is so for normal case
. correct a typo in regexp.c,
. implement a new "nc" (non-comment) feature to describe exceptions from
the comment detection; there were problems in Perl with the $# operator
that could not be solved by any other means,
. prevent blocklevel from becoming negative (due to earlier misdetected
sequences), this is probably a workaround for the problem described
in PR # bin/1785,
. update the Perl description to use the "nc" feature,
. update the man page for the "nc" and the undocumented "ab"/"ae"
features.
- use a more accurate and more efficient method of compensating for
overheads. The old method counted too much time against leaf
functions.
- normally use the Pentium timestamp counter if available.
On Pentiums, the times are now accurate to within a couple of cpu
clock cycles per function call in the (unlikely) event that there
are no cache misses in or caused by the profiling code.
- optionally use an arbitrary Pentium event counter if available.
- optionally regress to using the i8254 counter.
- scaled the i8254 counter by a factor of 128. Now the i8254 counters
overflow slightly faster than the TSC counters for a 150MHz Pentium :-)
(after about 16 seconds). This is to avoid fractional overheads.
files.i386:
permon.c temporarily has to be classified as a profiling-routine
because a couple of functions in it may be called from profiling code.
options.i386:
- I586_CTR_GUPROF is currently unused (oops).
- I586_PMC_GUPROF should be something like 0x70000 to enable (but not
use unless prof_machdep.c is changed) support for Pentium event
counters. 7 is a control mode and the counter number 0 is somewhere
in the 0000 bits (see perfmon.h for the encoding).
profile.h:
- added declarations.
- cleaned up separation of user mode declarations.
prof_machdep.c:
Mostly clock-select changes. The default clock can be changed by
editing kmem. There should be a sysctl for this.
subr_prof.c:
- added copyright.
- calibrate overheads for the new method.
- documented new method.
- fixed races and and machine dependencies in start/stop code.
mcount.c:
Use the new overhead compensation method.
gmon.h:
- changed GPROF4 counter type from unsigned to int. Oops, this should
be machine-dependent and/or int32_t.
- reorganized overhead counters.
Submitted by: Pentium event counter changes mostly by wollman
add free vnodes back to the freelist. They must do their own vnode
management. Anyway, this change is *only* activated with their filesystem
and doesn't affect anyone else. Whoops, forgot the submitted-by lines
in my previous commits too.. :-(
