- Add a mutex to protect the system-wide Linux osname, osrelease, and
oss_version variables.
- Change linux_get_prison() to take a thread instead of a proc for its
first argument and to use td_ucred rather than p_ucred. This is ok
because a thread's prison does not change even though it's ucred might.
- Also, change linux_get_prison() to return a struct prison * instead of
a struct linux_prison * since it returns with the struct prison locked
and this makes it easier to safely unlock the prison when we are done
messing with it.
KTRFAC_DROP to track instances when ktrace events are dropped due to the
request pool being exhausted. When a thread tries to post a ktrace event
and is unable to due to no available ktrace request objects, it sets
KTRFAC_DROP in its process' p_traceflag field. The next trace event to
successfully post from that process will set the KTR_DROP flag in the
header of the request going out and clear KTRFAC_DROP.
The KTR_DROP flag is the high bit in the type field of the ktr_header
structure. Older kdump binaries will simply complain about an unknown type
when seeing an entry with KTR_DROP set. Note that KTR_DROP being set on a
record in a ktrace file does not tell you anything except that at least one
event from this process was dropped prior to this event. The user has no
way of knowing what types of events were dropped nor how many were dropped.

struct proc as p_tracecred alongside the current cache of the vnode in
p_tracep. This credential is then used for all later ktrace operations on
this file rather than using the credential of the current thread at the
time of each ktrace event.
- Now that we have multiple ktrace-related items in struct proc that are
pointers, rename p_tracep to p_tracevp to make it less ambiguous.

frames. A comment in if_atm.h suggests that both macros, that for extracting
the ethertype and that for inserting it, handle their argument in host
byte order. In fact, the inserting macro treated its argument as an opposite
host order short and the calling code feeds it the result of htons(). This
happens to work on i386, but fails on sparc. Make the macro use real host
endianess.

this card is based on 16750 UART, modify sio(4) a bit to ignore 16750-specific
7th bit of MCR when probing card. This allows card to be detected and attached
as 16550A-compatible device. More work needs to be done in order to enable
nice 16750-specific features such as larger fifo buffer and higher speeds.

- Merged pmap_release and pmap_release_free_page. When pmap_release is
called only the page directory page(s) can be left in the pmap pte object,
since all page table pages will have been freed by pmap_remove_pages and
pmap_remove. In addition, there can only be one reference to the pmap and
the page directory is wired, so the page(s) can never be busy. So all there
is to do is clear the magic mappings from the page directory and free the
page(s).

monitors the entropy data harvested by crypto drivers to verify it complies
with FIPS 140-2. If data fails any test then the driver discards it and
commences continuous testing of harvested data until it is deemed ok.
Results are collected in a statistics block and, optionally, reported on
the console. In normal use the overhead associated with this driver is
not noticeable.
Note that drivers must (currently) be compiled specially to enable use.
