o Caution against use of `W' options in label/partition screens (dangerous!)
o Make various types of debugging dreck conditionalize on DEBUG flag
o Make a fake /var/db/mountdbtab file so new system doesn't complain
o Apply uniform permissions to entire /usr/X11R6 tree.
o Set erase character to ^H for all interactive commands.
o Don't panic if user exits upgrade shell, reboot.
o Document dangers of `W' options in help screens also.
Should anybody out there wonder about this vendetta against global
variables, it is basically to make it more visible what our interfaces
in the kernel really are.
I'm almost convinced we should have a
#define PUBLIC /* public interface */
and use it in the #includes...
style of error reporting (i prefer gcc style to be consistent with the
compiler) is left, plus a minor nit he's most likely been overlooking.
There are still problems with bootstrapping, and you should expect
troubles when linting libc...
This is here now. We can now access (the new) sysctl variables from the
kernel too and using functions to handle access is more sane now.
I will now attack sysctl variables in the rest of the kernel and get them
all converted to newspeak.
Changed vnodep -> vp for consistency with the rest of the kernel, and
changed iparams -> imgp for brevity.
kern_exec.c:
Explicitly initialized some additional parts of the image_params struct
to avoid bzeroing it. Rewrote the set-id code to reduce the number of
logical tests. The rewrite exposed a mostly benign bug in the algorithm:
traced set-id images would get ktracing disabled even if the set-id didn't
happen for other reasons.
cards like the Adaptec 284x that use EISA ID registers for identification
even when in stalled in non-EISA systems.
Use one format throught the files.
-Wall fixes.
earlier discussions with DG, and a recent email exchange with SEF, I
decided to allow UFS to run wide-open on an experimental basis. We
will probably support eventually multiple async modes, and this is
the fastest the we can expect. Just use the -o async flag on the
UFS mount. Good luck...
These functions went away:
enosys (hasn't been used for some time)
enxio
enodev
enoioctl (was used only once, actually for a vop)
if_tun.c:
Continued cleaning up...
conf.h:
Probably fixed the type of d_reset_t. It is hard to tell the correct
type because there are no non-dummy device reset functions.
Removed last vestige of ambiguous sleep message strings.

by Godmar Back <gback@facility.cs.utah.edu> and specifically to FreeBSD
by John Dyson. This code is still green and should be used with caution.
Additional changes to UFS necessary to make this code work will be commited
seperately.

dangerous than the original MNT_ASYNC. There might be some minor
security considerations due to data writes not being posted as promptly
as before. Meta-data operations are still not quite as fast as Linux,
but streaming I/O is still higher.

tty_conf.c:
Cleaned up formatting of tables.
Removed another ARGSUSED for consistency.
conf.h:
Introduced typedefs for line discipline functions.
Backed out most of previous revision (it is done elsewhere).
Since msdosfs is part of the base system, it's not wise to rely on
something like mtools to provide this functionality.
This utility is the agreed fix for PR # misc/804 fdformat did not ...
This is just a vendor import by now. I'll wait until i'll get the
imported files back via CTM before applying the FreeBSD patches.
Don't use it yet.

I've moved the #include <machine/conf.h> inside the #ifdef KERNEL
becuause things like modload #include <sys/conf.h> for the cdevsw definitions
but dont need the conflicting prototype for fdopen in stdio.h and
machine/conf.h.
Bruce may have a better fix for this, but for now I need a make world..
it before before trying to establish a binding. If /var/run/ypbind.lock
doesn't exist, or if it exists and isn't locked, then ypbind isn't
running, which means NIS is either turned off or hosed.
- Have _yp_check() call yp_unbind() after it sucessfully calls yp_bind()
to make sure it frees resources correctly. (I don't think there's really
a memory leak here, but it seems somehow wrong to call yp_bind() without
making a corresponding call to yp_unbind() afterwards.)
This makes the NIS code behave a little better in cases where libc makes
calls to NIS, but it isn't running correctly (i.e. there's no ypbind).
This cleans up some strange libc behavior that manifests itself if
you have the system domain name set, but aren't actually running NIS.
In this event, the getrpcent(3) code could try to call into NIS and
cause several inexplicable "clnttcp_create error: RPC program not
registered" messages to appear. This happens because _yp_check() checks
if the system domain name is set and, if it is, proceeds to call
yp_bind() to attempt to establish a binding. Since there is no
binding file (remember: ypbind isn't running, so /var/yp/binding
will be empty), _yp_dobind() will attempt to contact ypbind to
prod it into binding the domain. And because ypbind isn't running,
the code generates the 'clnttcp_create' error. Ultimately the
_yp_check() fails and the getrpcent(3) code rolls over to the /etc/rpc
file, but the error messages are annoying, and the code should be
smart enough to forgo the binding attempt when NIS is turned off.
