info. This turned out to be rather useful on ia64 for tracking down
malloc/free problems.
Detect duplicate free()'s - otherwise these show up as a guard1 failure
and it looks like corruption instead of something simple like a second
free() where there shouldn't be.
Deal with libz using libc headers and not seeing the malloc/free stuff that
we provide in libstand. Do similar nastiness to what is done for bzlib.
Tested on: i386, ia64 (compile, run)
Bug#1: The GetStatus() function returns radically different pointers that
do not match any packets we transmitted. I think it might be pointing to
a copy of the packet or something. Since we do not transmit more than
one packet at a time, just wait for "anything".
Bug#2: The Receive() function takes a pointer and a length. However, it
either ignores the length or otherwise does bad things and writes outside
of ptr[0] through ptr[len-1]. This is bad and causes massive stack
corruption for us since we are receiving packets into small buffers on
the stack. Instead, Receive() into a large enough buffer and bcopy the
data to the requested area.
handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.
Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

As this code is not actually used by any of the existing
interfaces, it seems unlikely to break anything (famous
last words).
The internal kernel interface to manipulate these attributes
is invoked using two new IO_ flags: IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT.
These flags may be specified in the ioflags word of VOP_READ,
VOP_WRITE, and VOP_TRUNCATE. Specifying IO_NORMAL means that
you want to do I/O to the normal data part of the file and
IO_EXT means that you want to do I/O to the extended attributes
part of the file. IO_NORMAL and IO_EXT are mutually exclusive
for VOP_READ and VOP_WRITE, but may be specified individually
or together in the case of VOP_TRUNCATE. For example, when
removing a file, VOP_TRUNCATE is called with both IO_NORMAL
and IO_EXT set. For backward compatibility, if neither IO_NORMAL
nor IO_EXT is set, then IO_NORMAL is assumed.
Note that the BA_ and IO_ flags have been `merged' so that they
may both be used in the same flags word. This merger is possible
by assigning the IO_ flags to the low sixteen bits and the BA_
flags the high sixteen bits. This works because the high sixteen
bits of the IO_ word is reserved for read-ahead and help with
write clustering so will never be used for flags. This merge
lets us get away from code of the form:
if (ioflags & IO_SYNC)
flags |= BA_SYNC;
For the future, I have considered adding a new field to the
vattr structure, va_extsize. This addition could then be
exported through the stat structure to allow applications to
find out the size of the extended attribute storage and also
would provide a more standard interface for truncating them
(via VOP_SETATTR rather than VOP_TRUNCATE).
I am also contemplating adding a pathconf parameter (for
concreteness, lets call it _PC_MAX_EXTSIZE) which would
let an application determine the maximum size of the extended
atribute storage.

attempting to export the non-root of a filesystem with -alldirs. This
pilot error seems to be very common, and the "could not remount" error
message doesn't give much hints about the real reason. See the old PR
below for an example.
While i was at it, make it possible to entirely omit the often
annoying error message in that case by specifying the "quiet" exports
flag. This allows to specify something like
/cdrom -alldirs,ro,quiet <where to export to>
which will silently fail if nothing is mounted under /cdrom, but do
the rigth thing as soon as you mount something.
While doing this, i've put the embedded example in the exports(5) man
page into a subsection of its own as it ought to be.
Thanks for Paul Southworth for reminding me about this problem.

net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min (default 3 ticks equiv)
This sysctl is the retransmit timer RTO minimum,
specified in milliseconds. This value is
designed for algorithmic stability only.
net.inet.tcp.rexmit_slop (default 200ms)
This sysctl is the retransmit timer RTO slop
which is added to every retransmit timeout and
is designed to handle protocol stack overheads
and delayed ack issues.
Note that the *original* code applied a 1-second
RTO minimum but never applied real slop to the RTO
calculation, so any RTO calculation over one second
would have no slop and thus not account for
protocol stack overheads (TCP timestamps are not
a measure of protocol turnaround!). Essentially,
the original code made the RTO calculation almost
completely irrelevant.
Please note that the 200ms slop is debateable.
This commit is not meant to be a line in the sand,
and if the community winds up deciding that increasing
it is the correct solution then it's easy to do.
Note that larger values will destroy performance
on lossy networks while smaller values may result in
a greater number of unnecessary retransmits.
