Remove the BUGS section suggesting LinuxThreads entirely. With the current

As it was pointed out by Alan Cox, that no longer serves its purpose with
the modern UMA allocator compared to the old one used in 4.x days.
The removal of sysctl eliminates max_proc_mmap type overflow leading to
the broken mmap(2) seen with large amount of physical memory on arches
with factually unbound KVA space (such as amd64). It was found that
slightly less than 256GB of physmem was enough to trigger the overflow.

Because {NGROUPS_MAX} may become variable, its value should be obtained
using sysconf(3). If a #define is used anyway, it should be obtained by
including <limits.h> as that is in POSIX like getgroups(2) itself is.
<sys/param.h> is not in POSIX.

you tag a socket with an uint32_t value. The cookie can then be
used by the kernel for various purposes, e.g. setting the skipto
rule or pipe number in ipfw (this is the reason SO_USER_COOKIE has
been implemented; however there is nothing ipfw-specific in its
implementation).
The ipfw-related code that uses the optopn will be committed separately.
This change adds a field to 'struct socket', but the struct is not
part of any driver or userland-visible ABI so the change should be
harmless.

It's a bit more pedantic regarding .Bl list elements. This has an added
benefit of unbreaking the ipfw(8) manpage, where groff was silently
skipping one list element.
the first line of a script exceeded MAXSHELLCMDLEN characters, then
exec_imgact_shell() silently truncated the line and passed on the truncated
interpreter name or argument. Now, exec_imgact_shell() will fail and return
ENOEXEC, which is the commonly used errno among Unix variants for this type
of error. (2) Previously, exec_imgact_shell()'s check on the length of the
interpreter's name was ineffective. In other words, exec_imgact_shell()
could not possibly fail and return ENAMETOOLONG. The reason being that the
length of the interpreter name had to exceed MAXSHELLCMDLEN characters in
order that ENAMETOOLONG be returned. But, the search for the end of the
interpreter name stops after at most MAXSHELLCMDLEN - 2 characters are
scanned. (In the end, this particular error is eventually discovered
outside of exec_imgact_shell() and ENAMETOOLONG is returned. So, the real
effect of this second change is that the error is detected earlier, in
exec_imgact_shell().)
Update the definition of MAXINTERP to the actual limit on the size of
the interpreter name that has been in effect since r142453 (from
2005).

This joint work of Dag-Erling Smørgrav and myself updates the
FFS quota system to support both traditional 32-bit and new 64-bit
quotas (for those of you who want to put 2+Tb quotas on your users).
By default quotas are not compiled into the kernel. To include them
in your kernel configuration you need to specify:
options QUOTA # Enable FFS quotas
If you are already running with the current 32-bit quotas, they
should continue to work just as they have in the past. If you
wish to convert to using 64-bit quotas, use `quotacheck -c 64';
if you wish to revert from 64-bit quotas back to 32-bit quotas,
use `quotacheck -c 32'.
There is a new library of functions to simplify the use of the
quota system, do `man quotafile' for details. If your application
is currently using the quotactl(2), it is highly recommended that
you convert your application to use the quotafile interface.
Note that existing binaries will continue to work.
Special thanks to John Kozubik of rsync.net for getting me
interested in pursuing 64-bit quota support and for funding
part of my development time on this project.
sigvec(2) references have been updated to sigaction(2), sigsetmask(2) and
