Citing jilles:
If we are ever going to do ASLR, the AUXV information tells an attacker
where the stack, executable and RTLD are located, which defeats much of
the point of randomizing the addresses in the first place.
Given that the AUXV information seems to be used by debuggers only anyway,
I think it would be good to move it to p_candebug() now.
The full virtual memory maps (KERN_PROC_VMMAP, procstat -v) are already
under p_candebug().

use superpage reservations. So, for the first time, kernel virtual memory
that is allocated by contigmalloc(), kmem_alloc_attr(), and
kmem_alloc_contig() can be promoted to superpages. In fact, even a series
of small contigmalloc() allocations may collectively result in a promoted
superpage.
Eliminate some duplication of code in vm_reserv_alloc_page().
Change the type of vm_reserv_reclaim_contig()'s first parameter in order
that it be consistent with other vm_*_contig() functions.

Where i386/bios/apm.c requires no per-descriptor state, the ACPI version
of these device do. Instead of using hackish clone lists that leave
stale device nodes lying around, use the cdevpriv API.
On my hardware, "em" in netmap mode does about 1.388 Mpps
on one card (on an Asus motherboard), and 1.1 Mpps on another
card (PCIe bus). Both seem to be NIC-limited, because
i have the same rate even with the CPU running at 150 MHz.
On the "re" driver the tx throughput is around 420-450 Kpps
on various (8111C and the like) chipsets. On the Rx side
performance seems much better, and i can receive the full
load generated by the "em" cards.
"igb" is untested as i don't have the hardware.
A link reset now is completely transparent for the netmap client:
even if the NIC resets its own ring (e.g. restarting from 0),
the client will not see any change in the current rx/tx positions,
because the driver will keep track of the offset between the two.
2. make the device-specific code more uniform across different drivers
There were some inconsistencies in the implementation of the netmap
support routines, now drivers have been aligned to a common
code structure.
3. import netmap support for ixgbe . This is implemented as a very
small patch for ixgbe.c (233 lines, 11 chunks, mostly comments:
in total the patch has only 54 lines of new code) , as most of
the code is in an external file sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h ,
following some initial comments from Jack Vogel about making
changes less intrusive.
(Note, i have emailed Jack multiple times asking if he had
comments on this structure of the code; i got no reply so
i assume he is fine with it).
Support for other drivers (em, lem, re, igb) will come later.
"ixgbe" is now the reference driver for netmap support. Both the
external file (sys/dev/netmap/ixgbe_netmap.h) and the device-specific
patches (in sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c) are heavily commented and should
serve as a reference for other device drivers.
Tested on i386 and amd64 with the pkt-gen program in tools/tools/netmap,
the sender does 14.88 Mpps at 1050 Mhz and 14.2 Mpps at 900 MHz
on an i7-860 with 4 cores and 82599 card. Haven't tried yet more
aggressive optimizations such as adding 'prefetch' instructions
in the time-critical parts of the code.
difference between fi_wgen and f_seqcount, so the change is purely

check for a UTF-8 compliant file name. Enabling this sysctl results in
an NFSv4 server that is non-RFC3530 compliant, therefore it is not enabled
by default. However, enabling this sysctl results in NFSv3 compatible

The "domain-search" option (option 119) allows a DHCP server to publish
a list of implicit domain suffixes used during name lookup. This option
is described in RFC 3397.
For instance, if the domain-search option says:
".example.org .example.com"
and one wants to resolve "foobar", the resolver will try:
1. "foobar.example.org"
2. "foobar.example.com"
The file /etc/resolv.conf is updated with a "search" directive if the
DHCP server provides "domain-search".
A regression test suite is included in this patch under

These realtek switch PHYs speak a variant of i2c with some slightly
modified handling.
From the submitter, slightly modified now that some further digging
has been done:
The I2C framework makes a assumption that the read/not-write bit of the first
byte (the address) indicates whether reads or writes are to follow.
The RTL8366 family uses the bus: after sending the address+read/not-write byte,
two register address bytes are sent, then the 16-bit register value is sent
or received. While the register write access can be performed as a 4-byte
write, the read access requires the read bit to be set, but the first two bytes
for the register address then need to be transmitted.
This patch maintains the i2c protocol behaviour but allows it to be relaxed
(for these kinds of switch PHYs, and whatever else Realtek may do with this
almost-but-not-quite i2c bus) - by setting the "strict" hint to 0.
The "strict" hint defaults to 1.

of the same lock_owner4 string. As such, the handling of cleanup
of lock_owners could be simplified. This simplification permitted
the client to do a ReleaseLockOwner operation when the process that
the lock_owner4 string represents, has exited. This permits the
server to release any storage related to the lock_owner4 string
before the associated open is closed. Without this change, it
is possible to exhaust a server's storage when a long running
process opens a file and then many child processes do locking
on the file, because the open doesn't get closed. A similar patch
was applied to the Linux NFSv4 client recently so that it wouldn't
exhaust a server's storage.
