low level ioctl routines instead of the magic number -1 so that
callers can distinguish it from ERESTART (which happens to be -1).
-1 meant that the ioctl was not handled at the called level.
ERESTART is normal when a sleeping ioctl is interrupted. ERESTART
got converted to ENOTTY instead of restarting the ioctl. Many
(most?) ioctls can not be restarted safely, but this is apparently
supposed to be handled by drivers converting ERESTART to EINTR.
I first saw this problem for TIOCDRAIN. Justin saw if for disk
ioctls.
Added missing parentheses.

idle processes. To enable the feature:
sysctl -w vm.swap_idle_enabled=1
Please note that some of the other vm sysctl variables have been renamed
to be more accurate.

Fixed pedantic syntax errors caused by trailing semicolons in macro

Fixed style bugs and typos in revisions 1.26-1.33.
the maximum pageout rate:
sysctl -w vm.vm_maxlaunder=n
1 < n < inf.
If paging heavily on large systems, it is likely that a performance
improvement can be achieved by increasing the parameter. On a large
system, the parm is 32, but numbers as large as 128 can make a big
difference. If paging is expensive, you might try decreasing the
number to 1-8.
1) Fix the initialization of malloc structure that changed
due to perf opt.
2) Remove unneeded include.
3) An initialization assert added to malloc.

so the filenames can be displayed and selected in full beauty. If RR
is present, the match is now case-sensitive, if RR is missing, the
match is case-insensitive (as it used to be before).
sysctl -w vm.defer_swap_pageouts=1
Causes the system to resist the use of swap space. In low memory
conditions, performance will decrease.
sysctl -w vm.disable_swap_pageouts=1
Causes the system to mostly disable the use of swap space. In
low memory conditions, the system will likely start killing
processes.
the barrery time remaining is reported as a random number. Initialize
edx to 0xffff in this case, and to 0 in all other cases. This change
should be benign on other machines.

workaround. Note that this currently eats up two pages extra in the system;
this could be alleviated by aligning idt correctly, and then only dealing with
that (as opposed to the current method of allocated two pages and copying the
IDT table to that, and then setting that to be the IDT table).

This should fix the incompatibility between kernel and ncrcontrol,
which is the result of FAILSAFE being defined in the kernel config
file, invisible to the build of ncrcontrol. (See kern/5133, which
should be fixed by this change.)

way that return values from system calls being passed by side-effect in
the proc structure now. This commit fixes the problem with aio_read and
aio_write.
