16384/2048.
Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.
This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.
For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:
Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems
The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning
schemes is raised.
Do not compile in VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS into gdb. This causes problems if
kvm extends into the user address space.
Also, print IdlePTD and initial pcb value clearly in hex instead of
one in decimal and the other hex (without 0x, so an all-numeric hex
number could easily be decimal)
(This isn't used on alpha/kvm-fbsd.c)
Introduce an additional device flag for those NICs which require the
transmit buffers to be aligned to 32-bit boundaries.
(the equivalen fix for STABLE is slightly simpler because there are
no supported chips which require this alignment there.)
- Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this
will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader
version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a
sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full
world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this
since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

the response queue. Instead of the ad hoc ISP_SWIZZLE_REQUEST, we now have
a complete set of inline functions in isp_inline.h. Each platform is
responsible for providing just one of a set of ISP_IOX_{GET,PUT}{8,16,32}
macros.
The reason this needs to be done is that we need to have a single set of
functions that will work correctly on multiple architectures for both little
and big endian machines. It also needs to work correctly in the case that
we have the request or response queues in memory that has to be treated
specially (e.g., have ddi_dma_sync called on it for Solaris after we update
it or before we read from it). It also has to handle the SBus cards (for
platforms that have them) which, while on a Big Endian machine, do *not*
require *most* of the request/response queue entry fields to be swizzled
or unswizzled.
One thing that falls out of this is that we no longer build requests in the
request queue itself. Instead, we build the request locally (e.g., on the
stack) and then as part of the swizzling operation, copy it to the request
queue entry we've allocated. I thought long and hard about whether this was
too expensive a change to make as it in a lot of cases requires an extra
copy. On balance, the flexbility is worth it. With any luck, the entry that
we build locally stays in a processor writeback cache (after all, it's only
64 bytes) so that the cost of actually flushing it to the memory area that is
the shared queue with the PCI device is not all that expensive. We may examine
this again and try to get clever in the future to try and avoid copies.
Another change that falls out of this is that MEMORYBARRIER should be taken
a lot more seriously. The macro ISP_ADD_REQUEST does a MEMORYBARRIER on the
entry being added. But there had been many other places this had been missing.
It's now very important that it be done.
Additional changes:
Fix a longstanding buglet of sorts. When we get an entry via isp_getrqentry,
the iptr value that gets returned is the value we intend to eventually plug
into the ISP registers as the entry *one past* the last one we've written-
*not* the current entry we're updating. All along we've been calling sync
functions on the wrong index value. Argh. The 'fix' here is to rename all
'iptr' variables as 'nxti' to remember that this is the 'next' pointer-
not the current pointer.
Devote a single bit to mboxbsy- and set aside bits for output mbox registers
that we need to pick up- we can have at least one command which does not
have any defined output registers (MBOX_EXECUTE_FIRMWARE).

have a USB mouse. Here's the deal on how this works: USB mouse have
moused run for them automatically by usbd so we don't need to setup moused
for them. We do need to setup moused for other mice though, so if the
user has a USB mouse, we don't need to do anything. Hence the wording
"Do you have a non-USB mouse installed?" for the question. The question
can be reworded as "Do you have a PS/2 or Serial mouse installed?" instead
if that is preferred.
of the recent WARNS commits. The idea is:
1) FreeBSD id tags should follow vendor tags.
2) Vendor tags should not be compiled (though copyrights probably should).
3) There should be no blank line between including cdefs and __FBSDIF.

This flag adds a pausing utility. When ran with -p, during the kernel
probing phase, the kernel will pause after each line of output.
This pausing can be ended with the '.' key, and is automatically
suspended when entering ddb.
This flag comes in handy at systems without a serial port that either hang
during booting or reser.

In this case, C99's __func__ is properly defined as:
static const char __func__[] = "function-name";
and GCC 3.1 will not allow it to be used in bogus string concatenation.
