udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()

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

INIT_PATH config option.
Also fix two bugs which caused an infinite loop in none of the programs
in the init_path were found. That code was obviously not tested!
piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for

Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.

There were two problems with getnewbuf(). First, the writerecursion

manually account for the buffer state, but the accounting that was

out when getnewbuf() needs to sleep.

peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are
inserted.
This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and
any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat
structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as
well to reflect the change.
This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less
interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important
than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default
output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc.
The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h.
If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what
priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the
priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they
have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find
table.
Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place.
Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and

B_DELWRI and B_CACHE flags, fixing a bug that showed up with NFS.
Also, a number of cases where manually inserted code has been removed
and replaced with an inline function call giving us better functional
isolation in the source.
descriptor-passing messages was calling sorflush() without checking
to see if the descriptor was actually a socket. This can cause a
crash by exiting programs that use the mechanism under certain
circumstances.
changes to the VM system to support the new swapper, VM bug
fixes, several VM optimizations, and some additional revamping of the
VM code. The specific bug fixes will be documented with additional
forced commits. This commit is somewhat rough in regards to code
cleanup issues.

flag means that there is more data to be put into the socket buffer.
Use it in TCP to reduce the interaction between mbuf sizes and the
Nagle algorithm.
Based on: "Justin C. Walker" <justin@apple.com>'s description of Apple's
fix for this problem.
lock, and add some macros and function parameters to make sure that
the information get to the point where it can be put in the lock
structure.
While I'm here, add DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS to LINT.
Fix NFS file corruption problem introduced in 1.188. The valid range
was not being set properly, causing a later reference to the buffer
to clear the B_CACHE bit.
- Have the VFS lkm support use vfs_register() etc rather than having it's
own version.
- Have the syscall lkm support use syscall_register() etc rather than
having it's own verison.
- Convert the lkm driver to a module.
suggestions from Greg Lehey some time ago. In the face of multiple
potential file formats, try and give a more sensible error than just
ENOEXEC.
XXX a good case can be made that the loading process is wrong - the linker
should locate the file first (using the search paths etc), then run the
loaders to see if they recognize it. While the present system allows for
the possibility of different search paths for different formats, we do not
use it and it just makes things more complicated than they need to be.
* A function device_printf() to make pretty-printing driver messages easier.
* A function device_get_children() to query the children of a device.
* Generic implementations of BUS_ALLOC_RESOURCE and BUS_RELEASE_RESOURCE.
* Change bus_generic_print_child() so that it is actually useful.
It was nay'ed before committing on the grounds that this is not
the way to do it, and has been decided as such several times in
the past.
There is not point in loading gobs of ascii into the kernel when
the only use of that ascii is presentation to the user.
Next thing we'd be adding all section 4 man pages to the loaded
kernel as well.
The argument about KLD's is bogus, klds can store a file in
/usr/share/doc/sysctl/dev/foo/thisvar.txt with a description and
sysctl or other facilities can pick it up there.
Proper documentation will take several K worth of text for many
sysctl variables, we don't want that in the kernel under any
circumstances.
I will welcome any well thought out attempt at improving the
situation wrt. sysctl documentation, but this wasn't it.
