Give DEVFS a proper inode called struct cdev_priv. It is important
to keep in mind that this "inode" is shared between all DEVFS
mountpoints, therefore it is protected by the global device mutex.
Link the cdev_priv's into a list, protected by the global device
mutex. Keep track of each cdev_priv's state with a flag bit and
of references from mountpoints with a dedicated usecount.
Reap the benefits of much improved kernel memory allocator and the
generally better defined device driver APIs to get rid of the tables
of pointers + serial numbers, their overflow tables, the atomics
to muck about in them and all the trouble that resulted in.
This makes RAM the only limit on how many devices we can have.
The cdev_priv is actually a super struct containing the normal cdev
as the "public" part, and therefore allocation and freeing has moved
to devfs_devs.c from kern_conf.c.
The overall responsibility is (to be) split such that kern/kern_conf.c
is the stuff that deals with drivers and struct cdev and fs/devfs
handles filesystems and struct cdev_priv and their private liason
exposed only in devfs_int.h.
Move the inode number from cdev to cdev_priv and allocate inode
numbers properly with unr. Local dirents in the mountpoints
(directories, symlinks) allocate inodes from the same pool to
guarantee against overlaps.
Various other fields are going to migrate from cdev to cdev_priv
in the future in order to hide them. A few fields may migrate
from devfs_dirent to cdev_priv as well.
Protect the DEVFS mountpoint with an sx lock instead of lockmgr,
this lock also protects the directory tree of the mountpoint.
Give each mountpoint a unique integer index, allocated with unr.
Use it into an array of devfs_dirent pointers in each cdev_priv.
Initially the array points to a single element also inside cdev_priv,
but as more devfs instances are mounted, the array is extended with
malloc(9) as necessary when the filesystem populates its directory
tree.
Retire the cdev alias lists, the cdev_priv now know about all the
relevant devfs_dirents (and their vnodes) and devfs_revoke() will
pick them up from there. We still spelunk into other mountpoints
and fondle their data without 100% good locking. It may make better
sense to vector the revoke event into the tty code and there do a
destroy_dev/make_dev on the tty's devices, but that's for further
study.
Lots of shuffling of stuff and churn of bits for no good reason[2].
XXX: There is still nothing preventing the dev_clone EVENTHANDLER
from being invoked at the same time in two devfs mountpoints. It
is not obvious what the best course of action is here.
XXX: comment out an if statement that lost its body, until I can
find out what should go there so it doesn't do damage in the meantime.
XXX: Leave in a few extra malloc types and KASSERTS to help track
down any remaining issues.

sizeof(*list), not sizeof(**list). (i.e., sizeof(pointer) rather than
sizeof(char)).
It is possible that this buffer overflow is exploitable, but it was
added after RELENG_5 forked and hasn't been MFCed, so this will not
receive an advisory.

as they both interact with the tty code (!MPSAFE) and may sleep if the
tty buffer is full (per comment).
Modify all consumers of uprintf() and tprintf() to hold Giant around
calls into these functions. In most cases, this means adding an
acquisition of Giant immediately around the function. In some cases
(nfs_timer()), it means acquiring Giant higher up in the callout.
With these changes, UFS no longer panics on SMP when either blocks are
exhausted or inodes are exhausted under load due to races in the tty
code when running without Giant.
NB: Some reduction in calls to uprintf() in the svr4 code is probably
desirable.
NB: In the case of nfs_timer(), calling uprintf() while holding a mutex,
or even in a callout at all, is a bad idea, and will generate warnings
and potential upset. This needs to be fixed, but was a problem before
this change.
NB: uprintf()/tprintf() sleeping is generally a bad ideas, as is having
non-MPSAFE tty code.

provided access to the root file system before the start of the
init process. This was used briefly by SEBSD before it knew about
preloading data in the loader, and using that method to gain
access to data earlier results in fewer inconsistencies in the
approach. Policy modules still have access to the root file system
creation event through the mac_create_mount() entry point.
Removed now, and will be removed from RELENG_6, in order to gain
third party policy dependencies on the entry point for the lifetime
of the 6.x branch.

to doubles as bits. fdlibm-1.1 had similar aliasing bugs, but these
were fixed by NetBSD or Cygnus before a modified version of fdlibm was
imported in 1994. TRUNC() is only used by tgamma() and some
implementation-detail functions. The aliasing bugs were detected by
compiling with gcc -O2 but don't seem to have broken tgamma() on i386's
or amd64's. They broke my modified version of tgamma().
Moved the definition of TRUNC() to mathimpl.h so that it can be fixed
in one place, although the general version is even slower than necessary
because it has to operate on pointers to volatiles to handle its arg
sometimes being volatile. Inefficiency of the fdlibm macros slows
down libm generally, and tgamma() is a relatively unimportant part of
libm. The macros act as if on 32-bit words in memory, so they are
hard to optimize to direct actions on 64-bit double registers for
(non-i386) machines where this is possible. The optimization is too
hard for gcc on amd64's, and declaring variables as volatile makes it
impossible.

Remove md_mtx.
Remove GIANT from the mdctl device driver and avoid DROP_GIANT,
PICKUP_GIANT and geom events since we can call into GEOM directly
now.
Pick up Giant around vn_close().
Apply an exclusive sx around mdctls ioctl and preloading to protect
lists etc..
Don't initialize our lock (md_mtx or md_sx) from a
SYSINIT when there is a perfectly good pair of _fini/_init
functions to do it from.
Prune any final fractional sector from the mediasize to
keep GEOM happy.
Cleanups:
Unify MDIOVERSION check in (x)mdctlioctl()
Add pointer to start() routine to softc to eliminate a switch{}
Inline guts of mddetach().
Always pass error pointer to mdnew(), simplify implementation.

handler depended on the ifp being still alive, this could, in theory,
cause a crash. Eliminate this possibility by moving the if_free to
after the bus_teardown_intr() call.
The testsuite is based on a simple driver program that builds a
request from the arguments passed to it and issues the request to
Geom. The driver emits FAIL with the error string or PASS depending
on whether the request completed with an error or not. A -v option
has been added to the driver and causes the request to be dumped.
The -v option to prove(1) controls the -v option to the driver.
The testsuite itself contains a hash of which the key constitutes
the arguments and the value is the expected result.

o eliminate the ED_NO_MIIBUS option. Now, you need miibus to use ed with
pccard. If you have an old ISA or PCI card w/o a miibus, then you'll still
be able to use the ed driver w/o miibus in the kernel. If you have pccard
you'll need mii now. Most pccards these days have miibus, and many
cards have ISSUES if you don't attach miibus. issues I don't want to
constantly rediagnose.
- Add new media_ioctl, mediachg and tick function pointers. The core
driver will call these if they aren't NULL, or return an error if they
are.
- migrate remaining mii code into if_ed_pccard.
o include some notes from my datasheet fishing. this may allow us to
get media status from some pccards.
o Fix one bug that's common to many drivers. call if_free(ifp) after
we tear down the interrupt. ed_intr() depends on ifp being there and
freeing it while interrupts can still happen is, ummm, bad.
panics, which occur when stale ifnet pointers are left in struct
moptions hung off of inpcbs:
- Add in_ifdetach(), which matches in6_ifdetach(), and allows the
protocol to perform early tear-down on the interface early in
if_detach().
- Annotate that if_detach() needs careful consideration.
- Remove calls to in_pcbpurgeif0() in the handling of SIOCDIFADDR --
this is not the place to detect interface removal! This also
removes what is basically a nasty (and now unnecessary) hack.
- Invoke in_pcbpurgeif0() from in_ifdetach(), in both raw and UDP
IPv4 sockets.
It is now possible to run the msocket_ifnet_remove regression test
using HEAD without panicking.
