work in, but we had it mapped read-only. While this has always been the
case, the PG_PS enable hack hid it and the apm bios code ended up taking
advantage of it.
This is so that we may grab the interlock while still holding the
sync_mtx. We have to VI_TRYLOCK() because in all other cases the lock
order runs the other way.
- If we don't meet any of the preconditions, reinsert the vp into the
list for the next second.
- We don't need to panic if we fail to sync here because each FSYNC
function handles this case. Removing this redundant code also
simplifies locking.
will not actually be set even though we're calling sosetopt. sosetopt
calls down to a single ctloutput function if the name or level is
implemented by a specific protocol.

fail. Remove the panic from that case and document why it might fail.
- Document the reason for calling cache_purge() on a newly created vnode.
- In insmntque() order the operations so that we can call mtx_unlock()
one fewer times. This makes the code somewhat clearer as well.
- Add XXX comments in sched_sync() and vflush().
- In vget(), do not sleep while waiting for XLOCK to clear if LK_NOWAIT is
set.
- In vclean() we don't need to acquire a lock around a single TAILQ_FIRST
call. It's ok if we race here, the vinvalbuf will just do nothing.
- Increase the scope of the lock in vgonel() to reduce the number of lock
operations that are performed.
we release the mntvnode_mtx.
- Call vgonel() directly instead of going through vrecycle() since we own
the interlock now.
- Remove a few cases where we locked the interlock just so that we could
call VOP_UNLOCK with interlock held.
mntvnode_mtx.
- Use a local variable to store the results of the test to see if the
next vnode on the mount list has changed. This is so that we no longer
acess the vnode after we vput() it.
stack trace supplied by phk, I now understand what's going on here. The
check for VI_XLOCK stops us from calling vinvalbuf once the vnode has been
partially torn down in vclean(). It is not clear that this would cause
a problem. Document this in nfs_bio.c, which is where the other two
filesystems copied this code from.
I do not yet understand why, but apm *depended* on the fact that the old
PSE code caused the first 1MB of ram to be mapped read/write because it
was in the same 4MB page as the kernel text+data+bss blob.
If anybody ever tried DISABLE_PSE before, apm would not work.
If your cpu did not have PSE, apm would not work there either (eg: 486).
This bug has been around for a Very Long Time.
The Pentium-4-fix commits did not emulate this unintended side effect of
the PSE post-early-boot fixup, and thus apm blew up. I've added a hack to
emulate the bug until either apm is fixed or we set fire to our bridges.
This is bad though because it gives kernel mode code the opportunity
to accidently write to the first few megs of the general page pool
which is remapped at KERNBASE. It needs to be fixed properly.
that covers updates to the contents. Note this is separate from holding
a reference and/or locking the routing table itself.
Other/related changes:
o rtredirect loses the final parameter by which an rtentry reference
may be returned; this was never used and added unwarranted complexity
for locking.
o minor style cleanups to routing code (e.g. ansi-fy function decls)
o remove the logic to bump the refcnt on the parent of cloned routes,
we assume the parent will remain as long as the clone; doing this avoids
a circularity in locking during delete
o convert some timeouts to MPSAFE callouts
Notes:
1. rt_mtx in struct rtentry is guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL as user-level
applications cannot/do-no know about mutex's. Doing this requires
that the mutex be the last element in the structure. A better solution
is to introduce an externalized version of struct rtentry but this is
a major task because of the intertwining of rtentry and other data
structures that are visible to user applications.
2. There are known LOR's that are expected to go away with forthcoming
work to eliminate many held references. If not these will be resolved
prior to release.
3. ATM changes are untested.

A small helper function pmap_is_prefaultable() is added. This function
encapsulate the few lines of pmap_prefault() that actually vary from
machine to machine. Note: pmap_is_prefaultable() and pmap_mincore() have
much in common. Going forward, it's worth considering their merger.
been widely deploy and that's causing us a lot of pain. Back out the
last commit for a few weeks so that we can lessen the support load in
current@ asking why they can't build kernels anymore. Instructions in
UPDATING have been updated, but this should be more effective.

A "driftfile" caches the oscillator offset estimate from boot to boot,
having this means faster and less bumpy time synchronization. Will
be overridden by any value in the config file.
