sidewaysintpr(). This increases the accuracy of the per-interval
counts when they are interpreted as rates. Repeated calls to alarm(n)
give an average interval that is about 2 ticks larger than n and has
a large variance. Periodic itimers normally get the average almost
right but have similarly large variance (due to scheduling delays).
Statistics utilities should use clock_gettime() to determine the
actual interval, but it is still useful to maximize the accuracy of
the interval, especially for cases like netstat -w where counts are
displayed so the program cannot hide the inaccuracy in a rate
conversion.
arrangement that has no intrinsic internal knowledge of whether devices
it is given are truly multipath devices. As such, this is a simplistic
approach, but still a useful one.
The basic approach is to (at present- this will change soon) use camcontrol
to find likely identical devices and and label the trailing sector of the
first one. This label contains both a full UUID and a name. The name is
what is presented in /dev/multipath, but the UUID is used as a true
distinguishor at g_taste time, thus making sure we don't have chaos
on a shared SAN where everyone names their data multipath as "Fred".
The first of N identical devices (and N *may* be 1!) becomes the active
path until a BIO request is failed with EIO or ENXIO. When this occurs,
the active disk is ripped away and the next in a list is picked to
(retry and) continue with.
During g_taste events new disks that meet the match criteria for existing
multipath geoms get added to the tail end of the list.
Thus, this active/passive setup actually does work for devices which
go away and come back, as do (now) mpt(4) and isp(4) SAN based disks.
There is still a lot to do to improve this- like about 5 of the 12
recommendations I've received about it, but it's been functional enough
for a while that it deserves a broader test base.

values of hz in sleep loop. Provide more debugging options to tune EC
behavior. These tunables/sysctls may be temporary and are not for user
access if the EC is working properly. Burst mode is now on by default for
testing and the poll interval has been increased from 100 to 500 us and
total timeout from 100 to 500 ms.
Hopefully this should be the first step of addressing reports of timeout
errors during battery or thermal access, especially on HP/Compaq laptops.
It is reasonably stable and should not cause a loss of functionality or
performance on systems that were previously working. Testing shows an
increase of responsiveness by ~75% on one system.

- BIOCGDIRECTION and BIOCSDIRECTION get or set the setting determining
whether incoming, outgoing, or all packets on the interface should be
returned by BPF. Set to BPF_D_IN to see only incoming packets on the
interface. Set to BPF_D_INOUT to see packets originating locally and
remotely on the interface. Set to BPF_D_OUT to see only outgoing
packets on the interface. This setting is initialized to BPF_D_INOUT
by default. BIOCGSEESENT and BIOCSSEESENT are obsoleted by these but
kept for backward compatibility.
- BIOCFEEDBACK sets packet feedback mode. This allows injected packets
to be fed back as input to the interface when output via the interface is
successful. When BPF_D_INOUT direction is set, injected outgoing packet
is not returned by BPF to avoid duplication. This flag is initialized to
zero by default.
Note that libpcap has been modified to support BPF_D_OUT direction for
pcap_setdirection(3) and PCAP_D_OUT direction is functional now.

someone familiar with that should review
the restore program to restore all dumped extended attributes.
If the restore is running as root, it will always be able
to restore all extended attributes. If it is not running
as root, it makes a best effort to set them. Using the -v
command line flag or the `verbose' command in interactive
mode will display all the extended attributes being set on
files (and at the end on directories) that are being restored.
It will note any extended attributes that could not be set.
The extended attributes are placed on the dump image immediately
following each file's data. Older versions of restore can work
with the newer dump images. Old versions of restore will
correctly restore the file data and then (silently) skip
over the extended attribute data and proceed to the next file.
This resolves PR 93085 which will be closed once the code
has been MFC'ed.
Note that this code will not compile until these header
files have been updated: <protocols/dumprestore.h> and

The next step will be to make a sweep through the kernel replacing
the old pointer manipulation code. To get an idea of how they would
be used, the ffs_findextattr() function in ufs/ffs/ffs_vnops.c is
currently written as follows:
/*
* Vnode operating to retrieve a named extended attribute.
*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.
*/

ffs_findextattr(u_char *ptr, u_int length, int nspace, const char *name,
u_char **eap, u_char **eac)
{
u_char *p, *pe, *pn, *p0;
int eapad1, eapad2, ealength, ealen, nlen;
uint32_t ul;
pe = ptr + length;
nlen = strlen(name);
for (p = ptr; p < pe; p = pn) {
p0 = p;
bcopy(p, &ul, sizeof(ul));
pn = p + ul;
/* make sure this entry is complete */
if (pn > pe)
break;
p += sizeof(uint32_t);
if (*p != nspace)
continue;
p++;
eapad2 = *p++;
if (*p != nlen)
continue;
p++;
if (bcmp(p, name, nlen))
continue;
ealength = sizeof(uint32_t) + 3 + nlen;
eapad1 = 8 - (ealength % 8);
if (eapad1 == 8)
eapad1 = 0;
ealength += eapad1;
ealen = ul - ealength - eapad2;
p += nlen + eapad1;
if (eap != NULL)
*eap = p0;
if (eac != NULL)
*eac = p;
return (ealen);
}
return(-1);
}
After applying the structure and macros, it would look like this:
/*

*
* Locate a particular EA (nspace:name) in the area (ptr:length), and return
* the length of the EA, and possibly the pointer to the entry and to the data.

u_char **eapp, u_char **eac)
{
struct extattr *eap, *eaend;
eaend = (struct extattr *)(ptr + length);
for (eap = (struct extattr *)ptr; eap < eaend; eap = EXTATTR_NEXT(eap)){
/* make sure this entry is complete */
if (EXTATTR_NEXT(eap) > eaend)
break;
if (eap->ea_namespace != nspace ||
eap->ea_namelength != length ||
bcmp(eap->ea_name, name, length))
continue;
if (eapp != NULL)
*eapp = eap;
if (eac != NULL)
*eac = EXTATTR_CONTENT(eap);
return (EXTATTR_CONTENT_SIZE(eap));

return(-1);

PRIO_USER case, possibly also other places that deferences
p_ucred.
In the past, we insert a new process into the allproc list right
after PID allocation, and release the allproc_lock sx. Because
most content in new proc's structure is not yet initialized,
this could lead to undefined result if we do not handle PRS_NEW
with care.
The problem with PRS_NEW state is that it does not provide fine
grained information about how much initialization is done for a
new process. By defination, after PRIO_USER setpriority(), all
processes that belongs to given user should have their nice value
set to the specified value. Therefore, if p_{start,end}copy
section was done for a PRS_NEW process, we can not safely ignore
it because p_nice is in this area. On the other hand, we should
be careful on PRS_NEW processes because we do not allow non-root
users to lower their nice values, and without a successful copy
of the copy section, we can get stale values that is inherted
from the uninitialized area of the process structure.
This commit tries to close the race condition by grabbing proc
mutex *before* we release allproc_lock xlock, and do copy as
well as zero immediately after the allproc_lock xunlock. This
guarantees that the new process would have its p_copy and p_zero
sections, as well as user credential informaion initialized. In
getpriority() case, instead of grabbing PROC_LOCK for a PRS_NEW
process, we just skip the process in question, because it does
not affect the final result of the call, as the p_nice value
would be copied from its parent, and we will see it during
allproc traverse.
Other potential solutions are still under evaluation.
