two reasons:
(1) juggle is now maintained in CVS, not P4, so the CVS revision number is
the authoritative one.
(2) Apparently $P4$ requires special handling and juggle was not marked
as needing it, resulting in problems for the P4 importer.

kern_prot.c. This API handles reference counting among many other things.
Notably, if MAC is compiled into the kernel, it will properly initialize the
MAC labels when the ucred is allocated.
This work is in preparation for a new MAC entry point which will be responsible
for properly initializing policy specific labels for the NFS server credential.
Utilization of the crfree/crget APIs reduce the complexity associated with
this label's management.

[1] I moved the ucred allocation outside the scope of the NFS server lock to
prevent M_WAIKOK allocations from occurring with non-sleep-able locks held.
Additionally, to reduce complexity, the ucred persist as long as the NFS
server descriptor.
implementation is by no means perfect as far as some of the algorithms
that it uses and the fact that it is missing some functionality (try
locks and upgrades/downgrades are not there yet), however it does seem
to work in my local testing. There is more detail in the comments in the
code, but the short version follows.
A reader/writer lock is very much like a regular mutex: it cannot be held
across a voluntary sleep; it can be acquired in an interrupt thread; if
the lock is held by a writer then the priority of any threads that block
on the lock will be lent to the owner; the simple case lock operations all
are done in a single atomic op. It also shares some similiarities
with sx locks: it supports reader/writer semantics (multiple readers,
but single writers); readers are allowed to recurse, but writers are not.
We can extend this implementation further by either improving algorithms
or adding new functionality, but this should at least give us a base to
work with now.

to be NULL. This is needed for the upcoming reader/writer lock
implementation.
- Add a new ddb command 'show turnstile' that will look up the turnstile
associated with the given lock argument and display useful information
like the list of threads blocked on each queue, etc. If there isn't an
active turnstile for a lock at the specified address, then the function
will see if there is an active turnstile at the specified address and
display info about it if so.
- Adjust the mutex code to handle the turnstile API changes.

If it finds one it will display information such as the list of threads
sleeping on that queue. If it can't find a sleep queue for that wait
channel, then it will see if that address matches any of the active

specified address.
is a fatal fault if we are holding any non-sleepable locks. This should
cut down on the number of bogus LORs we currently get when the kernel
panics due to a NULL (or bogus) pointer dereference that goes wandering
off into the VM system which tries to acquire locks and then kicks off
the spurious LORs. This should probably be ported to all the archs at
some point.

The difference between WITNESS_CHECK() and WITNESS_WARN() is that
WITNESS_CHECK() should be used in the places that the return value of
witness_warn() is checked, whereas WITNESS_WARN() should be used in places
where the return value is ignored. Specifically, in a kernel without
WITNESS enabled, WITNESS_WARN() evaluates to an empty string where as
WITNESS_CHECK evaluates to 0. I also updated the one place that was
checking the return value of WITNESS_WARN() to use WITNESS_CHECK.

KTR traces at the same time as a clear operation the behavior is undefined,
though it shouldn't panic.
they are. They should be NULL at this point, except if we're coming from
swapdev_strategy().
It should only affect the case where we're swapping directly on a file over
NFS.
For example, you can dynamically generate and load configuration file
depending on the hardware configuration with the following template:
mediaSetCDROM
mediaOpen
command='/dist/rescue/sh /dist/scripts/install.sh'
system
mediaClose
configFile=/tmp/generated.cfg
loadConfig
Now we have full access to files on the media before installation begins.

Also call the mediachg function when we set flags UP and are already

since we'd be ignoring the linkX flags.
This reduces the number of ifdefs to support sub-devices a little as a
nice side effect. It also reduces the number of hpp interfaces
exposed by 33%.
