By design I left a tiny race in updating the I/O statistics based on
the assumption that performance was more important that beancounter
quality statistics.
As it transpires the microoptimization is not measurable in the
real world and the inconsistent statistics confuse users, so revert
the decision.
Correct minor output bug. When the battery being queried is charging or
the overall discharge rate is 0, mark the battery remaining time as
"unknown", not 0.

Disable thread support in BIND. It appears to reduce performance rather
than increase it, and seems to be the cause of the memory leaks which some
users have reported.
scope cleanup. with this change
- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.
Add a very simple and small GEOM class - ZERO.
It creates very huge provider (41PB) /dev/gzero.
On BIO_READ request it zero-fills bio_data and on BIO_WRITE it does nothing.
You can also set kern.geom.zero.clear sysctl to 0 to do nothing even for
BIO_READ.
I'm using it for performance testing where it is very helpful.

Add fstab entries for ALTROOTSLICE and CFGSLICE, allowing us to do away with
most of the hardcoding of device names in installed convenience scripts.
Provide a new script (root/updatep) to easily update the ALTROOTSLICE. It
does the same as updatep1/updatep2 without hardcoded device names. If noone
protests, I'd like to get rid of updatep1/updatep2 at some point.
As an extra bonus: turn on the error led while updating (on hardware with a
led).
Rename UMA_MAX_NAME to UTH_MAX_NAME, since it's a maximum in the
monitoring API, which might or might not be the same as the internal
maximum (currently none).
Export flag information on UMA zones -- in particular, whether or
not this is a secondary zone, and so the keg free count should be

- Wrap the handler and associated code for collecting completed RX
descriptors that are still marked owned in #ifdef GEM_RINT_TIMEOUT
instead of #if 0 for convenience.
- Remove stale code and comment about relying on the preset XIF config.
- In case of a watchdog timeout call the init function instead of just
the start function so the chip is properly reset.
Merge from hme(4):
- Convert to use bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg() for loading RX buffers.
- Protect from a duplicate mbuf free panic in case the DMA engine hangs.
Add back ed(4) in amd64 GENERIC. It now works nicely and since those
chips are commonly found, it makes sense to have it in GENERIC. This

Introduce new sysctl variable: net.bpf.stats. This sysctl variable can
be used to pass statistics regarding dropped, matched and received
packet counts from the kernel to user-space. While we are here
introduce a new counter for filtered or matched packets. We currently
keep track of packets received or dropped by the bpf device, but not
how many packets actually matched the bpf filter.
-Introduce net.bpf.stats sysctl OID
-Move sysctl variables after the function prototypes so we can
reference bpf_stats_sysctl(9) without build errors.
-Introduce bpf descriptor counter which is used mainly for sizing
of the xbpf_d array.
-Introduce a xbpf_d structure which will act as an external
representation of the bpf_d structure.
-Add a the following members to the bpfd structure:
bd_fcount - Number of packets which matched bpf filter
bd_pid - PID which opened the bpf device
bd_pcomm - Process name which opened the device.
It should be noted that it's possible that the process which opened
the device could be long gone at the time of stats collection. An
example might be a process that opens the bpf device forks then exits
leaving the child process with the bpf fd.
Speed up __wcsconv() (and hence the printf() %ls format):

Since libmemstat(3) now supports its own error management mechanism,
use that instead of trying to use errno, in order to produce a
sensible error message.
Having decided not to provide a libmemstat(3) error number to text
conversion routine, now change my mind and add one, memstat_strerror(3),
which returns a const char * pointer to a string describing the error,
to be used on the results of memstat_mtl_geterror().
While here, also correct a minor typo in the HISTORY man page.
Pointers on improving ease of internationalization would be
appreciated.
Introduce more formal error handling for libmemstat(3):
- Define a set of libmemstat(3) error constants, which are used by all
libmemstat(3) methods except for memstat_mtl_alloc(), which allocates
a memory type list and may return ENOMEM via errno.
- Define a per-memory_type_list current error value, which is set when a
call associated with a memory list fails. This requires wrapping a
structure around the queue(9) list head data structure, but this change
is not visible to libmemstat(3) consumers due to using access methods.
- Add a new accessor method, memstat_mtl_geterror() to retrieve the error
number.
- Consistently set the error number in a number of failure modes where
previously some combination of setting errno and printf'ing error
descriptions was used. libmemstat(3) will now no longer print to stdio
under any circumstances. Returns of NULL/-1 for errors remain the
same.
This avoids use of stdio, misuse of error numbers, and should make it
easier to program a libmemstat(3) consumer able to print useful error
messages. Currently, no error-to-string function is provided, as I'm
unsure how to address internationalization concerns.
Rewrite the acpi_battery interface to allow for other battery types
(i.e., smart battery) and fix various bugs found during the cleanup.
API changes:
* kernel access:
Access to individual batteries is now via devclass_find("battery").
Introduce new methods ACPI_BATT_GET_STATUS (for _BST-formatted data) and
ACPI_BATT_GET_INFO (for _BIF-formatted data). The helper function
acpi_battery_get_battinfo() now takes a device_t instead of a unit #
argument. If dev is NULL, this signifies all batteries.
* ioctl access:
The ACPIIO_BATT_GET_TYPE and ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BATTDESC ioctls have been
removed. Since there is now no need for a mapping between "virtual" unit
and physical unit, usermode programs can just specify the unit directly and
skip the old translation steps. In fact, acpiconf(8) was actually already
doing this and virtual unit was the same as physical unit in all cases
since there was previously only one battery type (acpi_cmbat). Additionally,
we now map the ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BIF and ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BST ioctls for all
batteries, if they provide the associated methods.
* apm compatibility device/ioctls: no change
* sysctl: no change
Since most third-party applications use the apm(4) compat interface, there
should be very few affected applications (if any).
My change, namely srandomdev() addition, was backed out even without
discussing with me, and I obviously disagree seeing that afterwards
(srandomdev() back out not fix any thing, it can only mask the problem).
So, back out the back out and return srandomdev().
People who have problems with repeated quotes should use -D fortune
option for debugging to see is the problem in (1) /dev/random initialization
or in (2) fortune code itself.
I will be glad to help, but I can't reproduce repeated quote situation
on my machine.
In either case found, (1) or (2) should be fixed instead of removing
srandomdev().
Temporary restore a part of rev 1.6.
We must not increase a capability of buffer size here,
because codes which call these functions expect that dst and src
are the same size.
This will cause problem when someone convert a character whose
length is different between charsets on smbfs which was changed
to use xlat16 converter.
Add delete-old and delete-old-libs targets:
- removes obsolete files/dirs or libraries.
- works in interactive (default) and batch mode
- respects DISTDIR
- documented in UPDATING and build(7)
The head of the file ObsoleteFiles.inc contains instructions how to add
obsolete files/dirs/libs to the list. Obviously one should add obsolete
files to this list, when he removes a file/dir/lib from the basesystem.
Additionally add check-old target:
- allows re@ to check if a file on the obsolete list resurfaces
Design goals:
- allows full control by the user (default interactive mode)
- possibility of scripted removal of obsolete files (batch mode)
- opt-in removal of files (explicit list of files)
- seperate removal of libs (2 delete targets)
Important design decissions:
- structured list of files to remove instead of a plain text file:
* allows to remove additional files if a NO_foo knob is specified
without the need to change the targets (no NO_foo knob is respected
yet)
- not using mtree like NetBSD does:
* mtree doesn't has an interactive mode

Remove the NFS client rslock. The rslock was used to serialize
writers that want to extend the file. It was also used to serialize
readers that might want to read the last block of the file (with a
writer extending the file). Now that we support vnode locking for
NFS, the rslock is unnecessary. Writers grab the exclusive vnode
lock before writing and readers grab the shared (or in some cases
the exclusive) lock.
