This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.
The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.
Canonical cut&paste example to be found in if_tun.c
Initial use:
Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.
Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables
The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.
cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.
Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.
Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006
This commit removes:
72 bogus makedev() calls
26 bogus SYSINIT functions
if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.
I4b and vinum not changed. Patches emailed to authors. LINT
probably broken until they catch up.
Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".
Initialize the d_maj and d_bmaj fields.
The d_reset field was not removed, although it is never used.
I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the
same consistent format. Please keep it that way.
Vinum and i4b not modified, patches emailed to respective authors.
1:
s/suser/suser_xxx/
2:
Add new function: suser(struct proc *), prototyped in <sys/proc.h>.
3:
s/suser_xxx(\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)->p_ucred, \&\1->p_acflag)/suser(\1)/
The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with
later.
There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left
as an exercise for Bruce.
More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.
XXX It probably makes sense to have a flag for bsd.kern.mk to avoid these
rules.
XXX IO_NDELAY seems to be the main reason for it, when used in a cdevsw
read or write "flag" context. Perhaps a redundant declaration
somewhere like sys/conf.h might help remove the need for vnode.h in
these device drivers in the first place.
by bde, a few other tweaks to get the patch to apply cleanly again and
some improvements to the comments.
This change closes some fairly minor security holes associated with
F_SETOWN, fixes a few bugs, and removes some limitations that F_SETOWN
had on tty devices. For more details, see the description on the PR.
Because this patch increases the size of the proc and pgrp structures,
it is necessary to re-install the includes and recompile libkvm,
the vinum lkm, fstat, gcore, gdb, ipfilter, ps, top, and w.

FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
since pkh made tunctl static in revision 1.17 these are already
guaranteed to be zero'd and tunattach will only be called once.

This introduce an xxxFS_BOOT for each of the rootable filesystems.
(Presently not required, but encouraged to allow a smooth move of option *FS
to opt_dontuse.h later.)
LFS is temporarily disabled, and will be re-enabled tomorrow.
This will not make any of object files that LINT create change; there
might be differences with INET disabled, but hardly anything compiled
before without INET anyway. Now the 'obvious' things will give a
proper error if compiled without inet - ipx_ip, ipfw, tcp_debug. The
only thing that _should_ work (but can't be made to compile reasonably
easily) is sppp :-(
This commit move struct arpcom from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
<net/if_arp.h>.
so don't enforce the MTU as an MRU. Allow bidirectional ppp MTU
negotiation, by checking against a differnt figure for MRU.
Make it large enough for ATM frames at least.

<sys/filio.h>, <sys/sockio.h> and <sys/ttycom.h> instead of
<sys/ioctl.h> in a couple of files. This is still only 1/3
as spammish as <sys/ioctl.h> - 5 or 6 old tty ioctl headers
aren't needed.
Use the interface MTU instead of the constant when deciding what
packets to accept.
Allow using the SIOCSIFMTU ioctl (e.g. "ifconfig tun0 mtu XXX") to
set the MTU.
to TAILQs. Fix places which referenced these for no good reason
that I can see (the references remain, but were fixed to compile
again; they are still questionable).
1/ increase the tun MTU from 1500 to 1600 to allow it to be used with
packets formatted according to RFC1490 and RFC1717
2/ allow the tsleep() when reading, to be interruptable by signals
so that one can now do:
od -xc </dev/tun0
to dump packets for debugging without getting hung.

Nice but not neccessary in 2.2
- fill in and use ifp->if_softc
- use if_bpf rather than private cookie variables
- change bpf interface to take advantage of this
- call ether_ifattach() directly from Ethernet drivers
- delete kludge in if_attach() that did this indirectly
most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
