Now that pty(4) is a loadable kernel module, I'd better move /dev/ptmx
in there as well. This means that pty(4) now provides almost all
pseudo-terminal compatibility code. This means it's very easy to test
whether applications use the proper library interfaces when allocating
pseudo-terminals (namely posix_openpt and openpty).
statically bind IPv4 <-> MAC address at boot time.
In order to use this, the administrator needs to configure the following
rc.conf(5) variable:

- a series of static_arp_(name): the arguments that is being passed to
``arp -S'' operation.
Example:
static_arp_pairs="gw"
static_arp_gw="192.168.1.1 00:01:02:03:04:05"

net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.

modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way. In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops . Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.
Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL. The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).
Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.

probe. The current device order is unchanged. This commit just adds the
infrastructure and ABI changes so that it is easier to merge later changes
into 8.x.
- Driver attachments now have an associated pass level. Attachments are
not allowed to probe or attach to drivers until the system-wide pass level
is >= the attachment's pass level. By default driver attachments use the
"last" pass level (BUS_PASS_DEFAULT). Driver's that wish to probe during
an earlier pass use EARLY_DRIVER_MODULE() instead of DRIVER_MODULE() which
accepts the pass level as an additional parameter.
- A new method BUS_NEW_PASS has been added to the bus interface. This
method is invoked when the system-wide pass level is changed to kick off
a rescan of the device tree so that drivers that have just been made
"eligible" can probe and attach.
- The bus_generic_new_pass() function provides a default implementation of
BUS_NEW_PASS(). It first allows drivers that were just made eligible for
this pass to identify new child devices. Then it propogates the rescan to
child devices that already have an attached driver by invoking their
BUS_NEW_PASS() method. It also reprobes devices without a driver.
- BUS_PROBE_NOMATCH() is only invoked for devices that do not have
an attached driver after being scanned during the final pass.
- The bus_set_pass() function is used during boot to raise the pass level.
Currently it is only called once during root_bus_configure() to raise
the pass level to BUS_PASS_DEFAULT. This has the effect of probing all
devices in a single pass identical to previous behavior.

This change introduces the following two flags to gif(4):
accept_rev_ethip_ver: accepts both correct EtherIP packets and ones
with reversed version field, if enabled. If disabled, the gif
accepts the correct packets only. This flag is enabled by
default.
send_rev_ethip_ver: sends EtherIP packets with reversed version field
intentionally, if enabled. If disabled, the gif sends the correct
packets only. This flag is disabled by default.
These flags are stored in struct gif_softc and can be set by
ifconfig(8) on per-interface basis.
Note that this is an incompatible change of EtherIP with the older
FreeBSD releases. If you need to interoperate older FreeBSD boxes and

Last year I added SLIST_REMOVE_NEXT and STAILQ_REMOVE_NEXT, to remove

In my opinion this approach is a lot better:
- It doesn't have the unused first argument of the list pointer. I added
this, mainly because OpenBSD also had it.
- The _AFTER suffix makes a lot more sense, because it is related to
SLIST_INSERT_AFTER. _NEXT is only used to iterate through the list.
The reason why I want to rename this now, is to make sure we don't
