CAP_KQUEUE_EVENT - When set on a kqueue descriptor, the kevent(2)
syscall can be called on this kqueue to with the eventlist
argument set to non-NULL value; in other words the given
kqueue descriptor can be used to monitor other descriptors.
CAP_KQUEUE_CHANGE - When set on a kqueue descriptor, the kevent(2)
syscall can be called on this kqueue to with the changelist
argument set to non-NULL value; in other words it allows to
modify events monitored with the given kqueue descriptor.
Add alias CAP_KQUEUE, which allows for both CAP_KQUEUE_EVENT and

* Userland seeding is no longer used. This auto-seeds at boot time

to be minimal.
* An entropy cache is written to /entropy (even during installation)

* An entropy file written to /boot/entropy can be loaded by loader(8)
* Hardware sources such as rdrand are fed into Yarrow, and are no

3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"
Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.
4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.
The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)

is no sense to walk the whole dirty buffer queue. We are only
interested in, and can operate on, the buffers owned by the current
vnode [1]. Instead of calling generic queue flush routine, do
VOP_FSYNC() if possible.
Holding the dirty buffer queue lock in the bufdaemon, without dropping
it, can cause starvation of buffer writes from other threads. This is
esp. easy to reproduce on the big memory machines, where large files
are written, causing almost all dirty buffers accumulating in several
big files, which vnodes are locked by writers. Bufdaemon cannot flush
any buffer, but is iterating over the whole dirty queue
continuously. Since dirty queue mutex is not dropped, bufdone() in
g_up thread is starved, usually deadlocking the machine [2]. Mitigate
this by dropping the queue lock after the vnode is locked, allowing
other queue lock contenders to make a progress.

Without these, if the timeout value passed is "large enough", the
value of the sum of it and other factors (e.g. current time as

eventtimers(4), which causes et_start() routine to load et_min_period

to implement epoll subset of functionality. The kqueue user data are 32bit
on i386 which is not enough for epoll user data so this patch overrides
kqueue fileops to maintain enough space in struct file.
Initial patch developed by me in 2007 and then extended and finished
by Yuri Victorovich.

and the equivalent functionality is now provided by sendfile(2) over
posix shared memory filedescriptor.
Remove the cow member of struct vm_page, and rearrange the remaining
members. While there, make hold_count unsigned.
