How it works:
--
Basically ifs is a copy of ffs, overriding some vfs/vnops. (Yes, hack.)
I didn't see the need in duplicating all of sys/ufs/ffs to get this
off the ground.
File creation is done through a special file - 'newfile' . When newfile
is called, the system allocates and returns an inode. Note that newfile
is done in a cloning fashion:
fd = open("newfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0644);
fstat(fd, &st);
printf("new file is %d\n", (int)st.st_ino);
Once you have created a file, you can open() and unlink() it by its returned
inode number retrieved from the stat call, ie:
fd = open("5", O_RDWR);
The creation permissions depend entirely if you have write access to the
root directory of the filesystem.
To get the list of currently allocated inodes, VOP_READDIR has been added
which returns a directory listing of those currently allocated.
--
What this entails:
* patching conf/files and conf/options to include IFS as a new compile
option (and since ifs depends upon FFS, include the FFS routines)
* An entry in i386/conf/NOTES indicating IFS exists and where to go for
an explanation
* Unstaticize a couple of routines in src/sys/ufs/ffs/ which the IFS
routines require (ffs_mount() and ffs_reload())
* a new bunch of routines in src/sys/ufs/ifs/ which implement the IFS
routines. IFS replaces some of the vfsops, and a handful of vnops -
most notably are VFS_VGET(), VOP_LOOKUP(), VOP_UNLINK() and VOP_READDIR().
Any other directory operation is marked as invalid.
What this results in:
* an IFS partition's create permissions are controlled by the perm/ownership of
the root mount point, just like a normal directory
* Each inode has perm and ownership too
* IFS does *NOT* mean an FFS partition can be opened per inode. This is a
completely seperate filesystem here
* Softupdates doesn't work with IFS, and really I don't think it needs it.
Besides, fsck's are FAST. (Try it :-)
* Inodes 0 and 1 aren't allocatable because they are special (dump/swap IIRC).
Inode 2 isn't allocatable since UFS/FFS locks all inodes in the system against
this particular inode, and unravelling THAT code isn't trivial. Therefore,
useful inodes start at 3.
Enjoy, and feedback is definitely appreciated!

Next will be the wireless drivers, then the USB ones. I may pick up
some stragglers along the way. I'm sort of playing this by ear: if

u_int64_t flag field, bounding the number of capabilities at 64,
but substantially cleaning up capability logic (there are currently
43 defined capabilities).
o Heads up to anyone actually using capabilities: the constant
assignments for various capabilities have been redone, so any
persistent binary capability stores (i.e., '$posix1e.cap' EA
backing files) must be recreated. If you have one of these,
you'll know about it, so if you have no idea what this means,
don't worry.
o Update libposix1e to reflect this new definition, fixing the
exposed functions that directly manipulate the flags fields.

userland from here; just forward declare struct stat. fhstat.2
(== fhopen.2 == fhstatfs.2) has always specified including
<sys/stat.h> before using any of the fh functions although this is
only necessary for dereferencing the "struct stat *" arg of fhstat(),
so applications should not notice this change.
Fixed unsorting of user prototypes in rev.1.78.
1. Don't include <sys/conf.h> in userland. It is not used, and including it
without including its prerequisite <sys/time.h> should have broken the
world.
2. Don't include <sys/mount.h>. It is not used, except in -current it
bogusly includes <sys/stat.h> which bogusly includes <sys/time.h> and
thus accidentally provides the prerequisite in (1).
3. Cleaned up nearby include messes.

This fixes two problems with linux_sigaltstack()
o ss == 0 is perfectly valid use, so do not fail in this case.
o Fix flag handling:
- Our SS_DISABLE is 4, linux's is 2, so we need conversion routines.
These conversion routines will be needed by linux_rt_sendsig()
and linux_rt_sigreturn (forthcoming), so they are not static.
- Linux's flag 0 historically meant SS_ONSTACK according to a comment
in their linux/kernel/signal.c file.
Among other things, this fixes a warning from Sun's JDK 1.3:
"Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: cannot uninstall alt signal stack"

As a side effect, it is no longer necessary to enforce the assumtion that
lockinit()/lockdestroy() calls are paired, so the LK_VALID flag has been
removed.

* Fix context switching so that we can switch back to a proc which we
switched away from (we were saving the state in the wrong place).
* Implement lazy switching of the high-fp state. This needs to be looked
at again for SMP to cope with the case of a process migrating from one
processor to another while it has the high-fp state.
* Make setregs() work properly. I still think this should be called
cpu_exec() or something.
* Various other minor fixes.
With this lot, we can execve() /sbin/init and we get all the way up to its
first syscall. At that point, we stop because syscall handling is not done
yet.

This shouldn't affect the alpha or ia64, since they don't have a
