a179ee09ab This patch implements O_DIRECT about 80% of the way. It takes a patchset 
Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.

Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%.  For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.

I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

ca55abf319 Clean up syscall generation in libc by removing HIDDEN_SYSCALLS 
and treating (almost) all system calls the same way:

	__sys_foo - actual syscall
	foo, _foo - weak definitions to __sys_foo

be __sys_foo (T) and _foo (W).

1635c221b7 Remove _THREAD_SAFE and make libc thread-safe by default by 
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions.  If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.

Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
	__sys_foo - actual system call
	_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
	foo - weak definition to __sys_foo

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo.  In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde).  All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes.  <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h  namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE.  We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.

Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.

Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

    Add a new sysctl, vm.max_proc_mmap, which specifies the maximum number
    of mmap()'d spaces (discrete vm_map_entry's in the process).  The value
    defaults to around 9000 for a 128MB machine.  The test is scaled for the

b66fb2c648 Add MAP_NOSYNC feature to mmap(), and MADV_NOSYNC and MADV_AUTOSYNC to 
madvise().

    This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing
    dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory.  The
    system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system
    will still be fully coherent with the filesystem.  Modifications made
    by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are
    unaffected.  The feature works on a page-granularity basis.

    MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes
    without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in
    the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

ca21a25f17 This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature. 
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing.  The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.

For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact:  "real virtual servers".

Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.

Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.

It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.

A few notes:

   I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.

   The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.

   mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.

   /proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
   jailed processes.

   Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.

   There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.

   Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!

Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.

Have fun...

00557a95d5 Contains the para 
Unlike other filesystem objects, symbolic links do not have an owner,
  group, access mode, times, etc.  Instead, these attributes are taken from
  the directory that contains the link.  The only attributes returned from
  an lstat() that refer to the symbolic link itself are the file type
  (S_IFLNK), size, blocks, and link count (always 1).

This is bogus, and disagrees with the implementation and symlink(7).

4b7738dba1 Mostly remove the VM_STACK OPTION. 
This changes the definitions of a few items so that structures are the
same whether or not the option itself is enabled. This allows
people to enable and disable the option without recompilng the world.

As the author says:

|I ran into a problem pulling out the VM_STACK option.  I was aware of this
|when I first did the work, but then forgot about it.  The VM_STACK stuff
|has some code changes in the i386 branch.  There need to be corresponding
|changes in the alpha branch before it can come out completely.

what is done:
|
|1) Pull the VM_STACK option out of the header files it appears in.  This
|really shouldn't affect anything that executes with or without the rest
|of the VM_STACK patches.  The vm_map_entry will then always have one
|extra element (avail_ssize).  It just won't be used if the VM_STACK
|option is not turned on.
|
|I've also pulled the option out of vm_map.c.  This shouldn't harm anything,
|since the routines that are enabled as a result are not called unless
|the VM_STACK option is enabled elsewhere.
|
|2) Add what appears to be appropriate code the the alpha branch, still
|protected behind the VM_STACK switch.  I don't have an alpha machine,
|so we would need to get some testers with alpha machines to try it out.
|
|Once there is some testing, we can consider making the change permanent
|for both i386 and alpha.
|
[..]
|
|Once the alpha code is adequately tested, we can pull VM_STACK out
|everywhere.
