a panic due to an attaempt to allocate a buffer for a terabyte or
so of data when an attempt is made to create sparse data (e.g.
a holey file) more than 1 block past the end of the file.
Note: some other areas of this code need to be looked at,
since they might cause problems when the file size exceeds 2GB,
due to storing results in ints when the computations are being
done with quad sized variables.

Implement a "variable" directory structure. Files that do not make
sense for the given process do not "appear" and cannot be opened.
For example, "system" processes do not have "file", "regs" or "fpregs",
because they do not have a user area.
"attempt" to fill in the user area of a given process when it is being
accessed via /proc/pid/mem (the user struct is just after
VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS in the process address space.)
Dont do IO to the U area while it's swapped, hold it in place if possible.
Lock off access to the "ctl" file if it's done a setuid like the other
pseudo-files in there.
PT_ATTACH/PT_DETACH implemented now and fully operational.
PT_{GET|SET}{REGS|FPREFS} implemented now, using code shared with procfs
PT_{READ|WRITE}_{I|D} now uses code shared with procfs
ptrace opcodes now fully permission checked, including ownerships.
doing an operation to the u-area on a swapped process should no longer
panic.
running gdb as root works for me now, where it didn't before.
general cleanup..
Note, that this has some tightening of permissions/access checks etc.
Some of these may be going too far.. In particular, the "owner" of the
traced process is enforced. The process that created or attached to
the traced process is now the only one that can "do" things to it.
This makes it sorta usable, just for my ``proof-of-concept'' Perl
script i've been posting to freebsd-scsi. The driver will be
overhauled further, this is just to provide Jordan with a base to
perform testing of his own with his HP burner. Use entirely at your
own risk, expect a bunch of misburnt CD-R's when using it already in
this very green stage.
Note that by now the driver will only work when the CD-R has already
been in the drive at boot time.
- cpuclass should be cpu_class
- CPUCLASS_I386 should be CPUCLASS_386
(^^ those only show up if you compile for i386)
- two missing prototypes on new functions
- one missing static
to 20000 through 30000. These numbers are used for local IP port numbers
when an explicit address is not specified.
The values are sysctl modifiable under: net.inet.ip.port_{first|last}_auto
These numbers do not overlap with any known server addresses, without going
above 32768 which are "negative" on some other implementations.
20000 through 30000 is 2.5 times larger than the old range, but some have
suggested even that may not be enough... (gasp!) Setting a low address
of 10000 should be plenty.. :-)
Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish
overhead for merged cache.
Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant
calls to cluster_rbuild.
Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials.
Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6.
Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally,
fixes in the various pagers.
Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs.
Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code
will not as readily thrash.
Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into
page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE),
thereby improving efficiency of several routines.
Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations.
Significantly speed up process forks.
Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause
that happens every 30seconds.
Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the
case of filesystems mounted async.
Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO
buffers.
