with up to date comments. This fixes booting kernels with boot2
(except for loss of the features provided by loader) and is suitable
for MFC. Contrary to the old comments, most loaders don't clear the bss.
biosboot lost clearing of the bss in a code crunch in 1997, and boot2
never did it.
kan didn't notice the problem with gcc-3.3 putting variables that are
initialized to 0 in the bss until after committing gcc-3.3 because he
was already using essentially this patch. Before gcc-3.3, only the
non-critical `bootdev' variable was clobbered by clearing the bss.

messages are forwarded as netgraph control messages to the node
that is connected to the manage hook. If that hook is not connected,
the event is lost. Flow control events are converted to netgraph
flow control messages and send along the hook that is connected to
the flow controlled VC. ACR change events are converted to control
messages and sent along the hook for the given VC.
instead of int where the variable has to hold buffer lengths,
use u_int for things like number of network interfaces which

in the ABR rate, changes in the carrier state, PVC changes. The
main consumers of these events are the harp(4) pseudo-driver
and the ILMI daemon via ng_atm(4).
HIDENAME() macro seems to be unimplementable in C. (HIDENAME() used
to use invalid token pasting using ## for the STDC case until gcc
started rejecting that; now it uses unportable token pasting using
juxtaposition in all cases.) This reduces use of HIDENAME() in the
kernel to only i386 and amd64 profiling code so that it doesn't bite
most kernels whenever gcc becomes stricter. Problems with HIDENAME()
in userland are smaller because userland mostly doesn't use strict
flags yet. There are some advantages to hiding the name of mcount,
but newer arches shouldn't do it; only amd64 does.

On second thoughts hide tmpstk better by staticizing it.
- cut the version string at the newline, suppressing information about
who built the kernel and in what directory. Most of this information
was already lost to truncation.
- on i386, return the precise CPU class (if known) rather than just
"i386". Linux software which uses this information to select
which binary to run often does not know what to make of "i386".

to set np->n_size back to the desired size again after calling
nfs_meta_setsize(), since it could end up in nfs_loadattrcache() getting
called, which would change n_size back to the value it had before the
truncate request was issued. The result of this bug is that the size info
cached in the nfsnode becomes incorrect, lseek(fd, ofs, SEEK_END) seeks
past the end of the file, stat() returns the wrong size, etc.

kern.file sysctl, don't return information about processes that
fail p_cansee(td, p). This prevents sockstat and related
programs from seeing file descriptors owned by processes not
in the same jail as the thread, as well as having implications
for MAC, etc.
This is a partial solution: it permits an information leak about
the number of descriptors in the sizing calculation (but this is
not new information, you can also get it from kern.openfiles),
and doesn't attempt to mask file descriptors based on the
properties of the descriptor, only the process referencing it.
However, it provides most of what you want under most
circumstances, without complicating the locking.

that they honor it. This is a quick workaround for many devices (especially
USB) that require da(4) quirks to operate. The more complete approach is

mainly to quiet a warning emitted by GCC 3.3 about comparing

The value was checked to make sure the `np->squeue' array is
not accessed behind its boundary.
This worked due to possibly accidental truncation when

when it was assigned to `qidx'.
`qidx' is used to hold the next position in the start queue
for an insertion. The new type was chosen because some other
code in the function ncr_freeze_devq() also uses plain integers
to hold those indices.

Also, check the RUNNING flag before calling the if_start function, in
