udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.

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.

downward growing stacks more general.
Add (but don't activate) code to use the new stack facility
when running threads, (specifically the linux threads support).
This allows people to use both linux compiled linuxthreads, and also the
native FreeBSD linux-threads port.
The code is conditional on VM_STACK. Not using this will
produce the old heavily tested system.

"I've been having a problem running the patches [committed to current]
installed with the COMPAT_LINUX_THREADS option along
with the VM_STACK patches I did. I'm not sure what
the problem is, since it seemed to work before.
In any event, the attached patch fixes the problem for
me. While I've had no report of problems from anyone
else, possibly it would be wise to commit the patch
until the problem is found.
Also, there was some left-over junk in the linux_misc.c
file from some earlier work I did. The attached patch
cleans that up too."

The pointer was only wanted in one place in kern_exec.c. Applications
should use the kern.ps_strings sysctl instead of PS_STRINGS, so they

As a result, linux programs running in emulation mode can

for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

It can be integral or a struct in POSIX, so it is difficult to print,
but it is actually declared as unsigned long. Assume that it is
unsigned integral.
Fixed nearby bugs (in linux_alarm()):
- the itimer for the alarm was relative to the epoch instead of relative
to the boot time. This was harmless because the itimer's interval is 0.
- the seconds arg was not checked for validity before converting it to a
possibly different value.
- printf format errors.
Improvements:
Don't use splclock(). splsoftclock() suffices. Don't complicate things
by micro-optimizing interrupt latency.
Minor improvements:
Various micro-optimizations to exploit the specialness of the alarm itimer
and the value 0.
