The advantage of using a separate condvar is that we can just use
cv_signal(9) instead of cv_broadcast(9). It makes no sense to wake up
multiple threads. It also makes the TTY code easier to understand.
t_dcdwait sounds totally unrelated.
I suspect the usage of bgwait causes a lot of spurious wakeups when
threads are blocked in the background, because they will be woken up
each time a write() call is performed.
Also wakeup dcdwait when the TTY is abandoned.
rlimit RLIMIT_SWAP that limits the amount of swap that may be reserved
for the uid.
The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,
or vm object backing the entry, assuming the object is the first one
in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.
The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.
The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
that is used to charge appropriate uid when allocation if performed by
kernel, e.g. md(4).
Several syscalls, among them is fork(2), may now return ENOMEM when

It is functionally identical to generic soreceive() but has a

o does only one sockbuf unlock/lock per receive independent of
the length of data to be moved into the uio compared to
soreceive() which unlocks/locks per *mbuf*.
o uses m_mbuftouio() instead of its own copy(out) variant.
o much more compact code flow as a large number of special
cases is removed.
o much improved reability.
It offers significantly reduced CPU usage and lock contention
when receiving fast TCP streams. Additional gains are obtained
when the receiving application is using SO_RCVLOWAT to batch up
some data before a read (and wakeup) is done.
This function was written by "reverse engineering" and is not
just a stripped down variant of soreceive().
It is not yet enabled by default on TCP sockets. Instead it is

chains) to pure data mbufs using m_demote(). This removes the
packet header and all m_tag information as they are not meaningful
anymore on a stream socket where mbufs are linked through m->m_next.
Strictly speaking a packet header can be only ever valid on the first
mbuf in an m_next chain.
sbcompress() was doing this already when the mbuf chain layout lent
itself to it (e.g. header splitting or merge-append), just not
consistently.
This frees resources at socket buffer append time instead of at
sbdrop_internal() time after data has been read from the socket.
For MAC the per packet information has done its duty and during
socket buffer appending the policy of the socket itself takes over.
With the append the packet boundaries disappear naturally and with
it any context that was based on it. None of the residual information
from mbuf headers in the socket buffer on stream sockets was looked at.

Now that we start to use credentials on character devices more often
(because of MPSAFE TTY), move the prison-checks that are in place in the
TTY code into devfs.
Instead of strictly comparing the prisons, use the more common
prison_check() function to compare credentials. This means that
pseudo-terminals are only visible in devfs by processes within the same
jail and parent jails.
Even though regular users in parent jails can now interact with
pseudo-terminals from child jails, this seems to be the right approach.
These processes are also capable of interacting with the jailed
processes anyway, through signals for example.

NGROUPS_MAX, eliminate ABI dependencies on them, and raise the to 1024
and 1023 respectively. (Previously they were equal, but under a close
reading of POSIX, NGROUPS_MAX was defined to be too large by 1 since it
is the number of supplemental groups, not total number of groups.)
The bulk of the change consists of converting the struct ucred member
cr_groups from a static array to a pointer. Do the equivalent in
kinfo_proc.
Introduce new interfaces crcopysafe() and crsetgroups() for duplicating
a process credential before modifying it and for setting group lists
respectively. Both interfaces take care for the details of allocating
groups array. crsetgroups() takes care of truncating the group list
to the current maximum (NGROUPS) if necessary. In the future,
crsetgroups() may be responsible for insuring invariants such as sorting
the supplemental groups to allow groupmember() to be implemented as a
binary search.
Because we can not change struct xucred without breaking application
ABIs, we leave it alone and introduce a new XU_NGROUPS value which is
always 16 and is to be used or NGRPS as appropriate for things such as
NFS which need to use no more than 16 groups. When feasible, truncate
the group list rather than generating an error.
Minor changes:
- Reduce the number of hand rolled versions of groupmember().
- Do not assign to both cr_gid and cr_groups[0].
- Modify ipfw to cache ucreds instead of part of their contents since
they are immutable once referenced by more than one entity.

allocator for the jumbo frames zones. This change has two benefits: (1) a
custom back-end deallocator is no longer required. UMA's standard
deallocator suffices. (2) It eliminates a potentially confusing artifact
of using contigmalloc(): The malloc(9) statistics contain bogus information
about the usage of jumbo frames. Specifically, the malloc(9) statistics
report all jumbo frames in use whereas the UMA zone statistics report the
"truth" about the number in use vs. the number free.
in the type field of system call tables. Specifically, one can now use
the 'NO*' types as flags in addition to the 'COMPAT*' types. For example,
to tag 'COMPAT*' system calls as living in a KLD via NOSTD. The COMPAT*
type is required to be listed first in this case.
- Add new functions 'type()' and 'flag()' to the embedded awk script in
makesyscalls.sh that return true if a requested flag is found in the
type field ($3). The flag() function checks all of the flags in the
field, but type() only checks the first flag. type() is meant to be
used in the top-level "switch" statement and flag() should be used
otherwise.
- Retire the CPT_NOA type, it is now replaced with "COMPAT|NOARGS" using
the flags approach.
- Tweak the comment descriptions of COMPAT[46] system calls so that they
say "freebsd[46] foo" rather than "old foo".
- Document the COMPAT6 type.
- Sync comments in compat32 syscall table with the master table.
- Mark nfsclnt as UNIMPL. It should have been NOSTD instead of NOIMPL back
when it lived in nfsclient.ko, but it was removed from that a long time
ago.
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.

The code that was in place in exit1() was mainly based on code from the
old TTY layer. The main reason behind this, was because at one moment I
ran a system that had two TTY layers in place at the same time. It is
now sufficient to do the following:
- Remove references from the session structure to the TTY vnode and the
session leader.
- If we have a controlling TTY and the session used by the TTY is equal
to our session, send the SIGHUP.
- If we have a vnode to the controlling TTY which has not been revoked,
revoke it.
While there, change sys/kern/tty.c to use s_ttyp in the comparison
instead of s_ttyvp. It should not make any difference, because s_ttyvp
can only become null when the session leader already left, but it's
nicer to compare against the proper value.
any open file descriptors >= 'lowfd'. It is largely identical to the same
function on other operating systems such as Solaris, DFly, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD. One difference from other *BSD is that this closefrom() does not
fail with any errors. In practice, while the manpages for NetBSD and
OpenBSD claim that they return EINTR, they ignore internal errors from
close() and never return EINTR. DFly does return EINTR, but for the common
use case (closing fd's prior to execve()), the caller really wants all
fd's closed and returning EINTR just forces callers to call closefrom() in
a loop until it stops failing.
Note that this implementation of closefrom(2) does not make any effort to
resolve userland races with open(2) in other threads. As such, it is not
multithread safe.

Because our rc scripts also open the /etc/ttyv* nodes, it revokes the
console, preventing startup messages from being displayed.
I really have to think about this. Maybe we should just give the console
its own TTY and let it build on top of other TTYs. I'm still not sure
what to do with input handling there.
Even though I thought I fixed the staircase issue (and I was no longer
able to reproduce it), I got some reports of the issue still being
there. It turns out the staircase effect still occurred when
/dev/console was kept open while killing the getty on the same TTY
(ttyv0).
For some reason I can't figure out how the old TTY code dealt with that,
so I assume the issue has always been there. I only exposed it more by
merging consolectl with ttyv0, which means that the issue was present,
even on systems without a serial console.
I'm now marking the console device as being closed when closing the
regular TTY device node. This means that when the getty shuts down,
init(8) will open /dev/console, which means the termios attributes will
always be reset in this case.
