a boot option. When the timer expires the machine is rebooted.
Disable the watchdog timer for 2 reasons:
o We're an interactive program. We cannot guarantee that we've
booted the kernel in the time available to us. There have been
situations where netbooting the right kernel took 2 tries and
more time than given. Not to speak of the normal behaviour to
have the loader sitting at the prompt while the user is off
doing other things (such as figuring out what to type next ;-)
o We may not boot a kernel at all. We may exit as the result of
the user typing quit (assuming it took less than 5 minutes to
type it :-). It is documented that loaders should have disabled
the watchdog timer if they return to the boot manager. Not doing
so would cause a reboot while in the boot manager. This appears
to be harmless, besides of course the actual reboot.

the signaled state of the apropriate event. As a side-effect of
checking the event, it's signaled state is cleared if it was set.
In efi_cons_getchar we used to wait for the apropriate event to be
signaled before reading a character. This however does not work if
we poll before reading the characteri, such as during autoboot. On
a more compliant EFI implementation this resulted in the behaviour
that hitting a key during autoboot would stop the countdown, but
would then wait for a new character to arrive instead of reading
the already pending key that stopped the countdown.
The correct behaviour for efi_cons_getchar is to try to read a key
and if none is pending, to wait for the apropriate event to signal
the arrival of a new key.
Note that with the previous behaviour, the second key would determine
how the autoboot was interrupted. This would indicate that the first
key got lost. This indicates that EFI does not necessarily maintain
a queue of pending keys. FWIW...

the same as fcntl() except that it supports the new 64-bit file
locking commands (LINUX_F_GETLK64 etc) that use the `flock64'
structure. We had been interpreting all flock structures passed to
fcntl64() as `struct flock64' instead of only the ones from F_*64
commands.
The glibc in linux_base-7 uses fcntl64() by default, but the bug
was often non-fatal since the misinterpretation typically only
causes junk to appear in the `l_len' field and most junk values are
accepted as valid range lengths. The result is occasional EINVAL
errors from F_SETLK and a few bytes after the supplied `struct
flock' getting clobbered during F_GETLK.

bandwidth for other processes. Since the sleeping is done from
userland, this avoids the locking issues that affected the kernel
version.
The algorithm used here is to measure a moving average of the times
taken by a sample of read operations and then delay 1 in 8 reads
by 16 times the measured average. This should correspond to a factor
of 3 slowdown, but in practice the factor is larger (3.5 to 4) due
to hz rounding effects.

The registers for the timers, power management and PCI bus b errors are
reserved on Sabres (US-IIi) and can lead to false matches there.
Since all of them are never used for devices on the bus, they can be omitted

has the advantage of moving a few #ifdef PC98's up to where the macros
are defined instead of in the middle of the code.
- Change the behavior of the 'T' option in the slice editor so that the
default value in the dialog box is the current type of the existing
slice rather than defaulting to changing the slice to a FreeBSD slice as
this is more intuitive.

32k read and write operations on datagram sockets when in fact we
reject requests larger than 16k. It must be the case that virtually
all clients use data sizes of 16k or less for UDP transport (FreeBSD's
client defaults to 8k and never exceeds 16k), as this bug has been
present ever since NFSv3 support was added.
