This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
This is here now. We can now access (the new) sysctl variables from the

TTYHOG = 1024 bytes, 10 cblocks were reserved. This was thought to

is at the end of a cblock, then it only provides 1 + 9 * CBSIZE = 973
bytes of buffering. This caused serious data loss for ptys because the
flow control is deterministic and requires at least TTYHOG bytes of
buffering. For ttys, if input flow control is used then there is
usually enough slop in the high watermark to avoid problems, and if
input flow control isn't used then a limit of 973 is not much different
from a limit of 1024.

prototypes for all syscalls. The args structs are still declared in
comments as in VOP implementation functions. I don't like the
duplication for this, but several more layers of changes are required
to get it right. First we need to catch up with 4.4lite2, which uses
macros to handle struct padding. Then we need to catch up with NetBSD,
which passes the args correctly (as void *). Then we need to handle
varargs functions and struct padding better. I think all the details
can be hidden in machine-generated functions so that the args structs
and verbose macros to reference them don't have to appear in the core
sources.
Add prototypes.
Add bogus casts to hide the evil type puns exposed by the previous
steps. &uap[1] was used to get at the args after the first. This
worked because only the first arg in *uap was declared. This broke
when the machine- genenerated args struct declared all the args
(actually it declares extra args in some cases and depends on the
user stack having some accessible junk after the last arg, not to
mention the user args being on the stack. It isn't possible to
declare a correct args struct for a varargs syscall). The msgsys(),
semsys() and shmsys() syscall interfaces are BAD because they
multiplex several syscalls that have different types of args.
There was no reason to duplicate this sysv braindamage but now

With the compat psuedo-argument, this introduces an argument structure

This makes life difficult for lkm modules like ibcs2, which would
have to guess what size used in kernel when compiled. Also,
the prototype generator for these structures cannot generate proper sizes.
Now there is only one fixed structure and makes everybody happy.

Introduce TS_CONNECTED and TS_ZOMBIE states. TS_CONNECTED is set
while a connection is established. It is set while (TS_CARR_ON or
CLOCAL is set) and TS_ZOMBIE is clear. TS_ZOMBIE is set for on to
off transitions of TS_CARR_ON that occur when CLOCAL is clear and
is cleared for off to on transitions of CLOCAL. I/o can only occur
while TS_CONNECTED is set. TS_ZOMBIE prevents further i/o.
Split the input-event sleep address TSA_CARR_ON(tp) into TSA_CARR_ON(tp)
and TSA_HUP_OR_INPUT(tp). The former address is now used only for
off to on carrier transitions and equivalent CLOCAL transitions.
The latter is used for all input events, all carrier transitions
and certain CLOCAL transitions. There are some harmless extra
wakeups for rare connection- related events. Previously there were
too many extra wakeups for non-rare input events.
Drivers now call l_modem() instead of setting TS_CARR_ON directly
to handle even the initial off to on transition of carrier. They
should always have done this. l_modem() now handles TS_CONNECTED

Use input buffer watermarks of TTYHOG-512 (high) and (high)*7/8

>= TTYHOG-512 to work; now they depend on the 512 magic not changing
and TTYHOG-512 being significantly larger than 0. This should be
handled in ttsetwater().
Separate the decision about whether to do input flow control from
doing it. ttyblock() now just starts input flow control (hardware
and/or software) and there is a new function ttyunblock() to stop
it. The decisions are the same except for the watermark changes
and allowing for input expansion for PARMRK.
When flushing input, try harder at first to send a start character
if required, but give up if the first attempt fails.

It's probably not worth making ttwwakeup() a macro or an inline

TS_WOPEN should be restored someday just so that `pstat -t' can

result is a race condition that would lead to duplicate buffers at the
same block offset.

ktrsyscall() was expecting an array of integers, this was passing the
address of a structure containing an array of integers..
The cosmetic problem was that it was calling the "enter syscall"
trace hook twice - this looks like a cut/paste error/typo.

proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!!
Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of
changes:
1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages,
haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now
provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take
struct vm_object's instead of "pagers".
2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant
confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a
pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has
escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is
used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager
structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were
unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union
was created in the object to contain these items.
3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now
be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(),
vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the
things that were removed.
4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the
SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism
that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code
was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The
locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward
making the code difficult to read and debug.
5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel
thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really
dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete
thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong.
We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance.
6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the
pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and
are now faster and easier to maintain.
7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and
now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after
the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein
algorithm and should provide better overall performance.
8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup
have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed.
9) Some almost useless debugging code removed.
10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out.
The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this
backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing
object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct
in the Mach terminology.
11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused
0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended.
12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition
of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code
for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides
the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something
other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it
allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made
dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do
this, of course).
13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy
object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non-
standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its
behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will
continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics
of MAP_PRIVATE.
14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a
threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13
were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain-
ability. (As were most all of these changes)
TODO:
1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing
this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size.
2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering
information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will
substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of
VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be
improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of
contiguousness.
3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage().
It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind.
4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps
via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk
striping of regular filesystems.
5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The
fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about
how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow
for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by
other pagers).
that call vnode_pager_alloc() so that a failure return can be dealt with.
This fixes a panic seen on NFS clients when a file being opened is deleted
on the server before the open completes.
syscall to allow applications linked against their libc's uname() to
work. Netscape 1.1N being a prime example, which prints:
"uname() failed. cant tell what system we're running on".
This change is a little ugly, but that's mainly because of the "interesting"
semantics of the BSDI extension.
Since ogetkerninfo() is only enabled by COMPAT_43, Netscape will only
be affected on kernels with that option (eg: "GENERIC")

might not be handled by the same FS as the directory (e.g. special device
files)...so it must be special-cased. This bug is seen when doing
"ln /dev/console /dev/foo" or equivilent and first appeared after I fixed
the argument order of VOP_LINK. YUCK! There really needs to be a way of
specifying what vp to use in the VCALL; doing this could fix the strategy
and bwrite special-cases, too.
