Remove the wait.1 manpage. There is no userland wait(1) utility, and the

If we don't appear to have a module loaded supporting the interface
we're about to operate on, try to load one. Don't complain if the
load fails, and always press on regardless (there may not be a module
suitable or required).
With the renaming of the PCI ethernet driver modules and the addition
of appropriate miibus dependancies on those modules that need it, it is
now no longer necessary to compile many ethernet drivers into the kernel;
they will be loaded on demand the first time they are ifconfig'ed.

Make if_ed work again on pci, isa, isapnp. The hack to make it work on
PCCARD is pretty revolting but should buy us time while the pccard driver
angle is sorted out. A commit for the MCA ed attachment will follow
shortly.
Add an alternate transmit strategy for 3c90xB adapters based on the transmit
strategy used in the 3Com Linux driver. The new strategy is to use transmit
descriptor polling -- that is, the NIC polls the descriptors to see when
new packets are available for transmission. The advantage to the new scheme
is that no register accesses are needed in the transmit routine. The old
scheme requires several register accesses to stall the TX engine, update the
TX DMA list pointer register, then unstall the TX engine. Hopefully the new
scheme will provide improved transmit performance with less CPU overhead.
This only affects the 3c90xB or 3c90xC cards, not the 3c90x cards. This
means the original 3c900 and 3c905 cards are unaffected. Newer cards include
the 3c900B series, the 3c905B, 3c980, 3c980B, 3c905C and 3c905C, and the
3cSOHO100-TX OfficeConnect.
Make some small performance tweaks to the tl driver. This should hopefully
close PR #13757, however I'm waiting on user feedback before declaring the
PR officially closed. Among other things, this improves UDP transmit
performance, and tx underruns are now detected and the TX start threshold
adjusted accordingly.
Allow the AMD PHY driver to support the DM9101 PHY. The DM9101 and the
AMD AM79c873 have identical registers. I'm not sure why; one is probably
a clone of the other.

This is what was "fdfix2.patch," a fix for fd sharing. It's pretty
far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for
changes. The biggest change is that now, you don't use
fp->f_ops->fo_foo(fp, bar)
but instead
fo_foo(fp, bar),
which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit.
Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided. Each does what it
seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the
fd is freed as well.
Thanks to peter ("to hell with it, it looks ok to me.") for his review.
Thanks to msmith for keeping me from putting locks everywhere :)
This should get us the same functionality we had with GCC 2.7.2.1.
* Support for our dual ELF/a.out building ability
* Our custom ASM_* definitions
* Our custom debugger and profiling related definitions
* Our custom STARTFILE/ENDFILE specs
* The stock EGCS 1.1.2 freebsd-elf.h file depended on
egcs-1.1.2/gcc/config/linux.h, which included "svr4.h". We will
include "svr4.h" via our "tm.h" definition. So add the few bits
from "linux.h" we actually needed.
* Using our current crtbegin.o/crtend.o we cannot support the DWARF2
unwinding mechanisms. In the future we will switch to the
non-sjlj-exceptions type exception machanism. However the `make world'
bootstrap problems with the EGCS crtstuff.c must be overcome first.
* Our a.out gas doesn't "know" to use NOP's for aligns while in the text
section. Thus the a.out alignment generation needed tweaking from
what we did with GCC 2.7.2. [from BDE]
* The definition of SUPPORTS_ONE_ONLY prevents the compiler from trying
to use "linkonce" sections for a.out. The definition of
NO_DBX_FUNCTION_END we had causes it to avoid .stabs symbols that the
assembler cannot handle for a.out. [from JDP]
* The previous "EXCEPTION_SECTION_FUNCTION" is the wrong name for EGCS.
It also needed tweaking for EGCS. [from JDP]
Also bump __FreeBSD_cc_version to 400002 in case we need to know we are
using EGCS at some point.
- Hang the scr_stat struct from dev_t.
- Remove sc_get_scr_stat(). It's not necessary anymore.
- Call ttymalloc() to allocate the struct tty for each vty, rather than
statically declaring an array of struct tty. We still need a statically
allocated struct tty for the first vty which is used for the kernel
console I/O, though.
- Likewise, call ttymalloc() for /dev/sysmouse and /dev/consolectl.
- Delete unnecessary test on the pointer struct tty *tp in some functions.
- Delete unused code in scmouse.c.
WARNING: this change requires you to recompile screen savers!
- Mention that the SC_PIXEL_MODE kernel option is required, in order
to use the VESA_800x600 raster text mode.
- Fix the list of recognized keywords; "40x25" is not recognized,
but "VGA_40x25" is.
Make `ed' PC-Cards work again. It has been over two weeks that laptop
users have suffered from this breakage, w/o commitment from someone that
they would fix the problems.
This effectively backs out revs 1.{157-160}. It does however fix the
build problem that caused 1.157 to be committed.
If the changes from rev 1.156-1.160 can't be fully tested by the
committer, may I offer posting a diff in the freebsd-current mailing
list for broader testing before inflicting this breakage again.
Fix BOOTP root FS mounts. Also cleanup vfs_getnewfsid() and collapse
addaliasu() into addalias() (no operational change) and clarify comments
relating to a trick that vclean() uses.
The fix to BOOTP is yet another hack. Actually, rootfsid handling
is already a major hack. The whole thing needs to be cleaned up.

Change so_cred's type to a ucred, not a pcred. THis makes more sense, actually.

Remember to account for ETHER_ALIGN when setting the maxmimum packet

Parse resource descriptions which don't have START_DEPENDANT tags

Add vfs.enable_userblk_io sysctl to control whether user reads and writes
to buffered block devices are allowed. The default is to be backwards
compatible, i.e. reads and writes are allowed.
The idea is for a larger crowd to start running with this disabled and
see what problems, if any, crop up, and then to change the default to
off and see if any problems crop up in the next 6 months prior to
potentially removing support entirely. There are still a few people,
Julian and myself included, who believe the buffered block device
access from usermode to be useful.
Remove use of vnode->v_lastr from buffered block device I/O in

Asynchronized client-side nfs_commit. NFS commit operations were
previously issued synchronously even if async daemons (nfsiod's) were

Removed use of lastr in preparation for removal of vnode->v_lastr. It
has been replaced with seqcount, which is already supported by the system
and, in fact, gives us a better heuristic for sequential detection then
lastr ever did.
Made major performance improvements to the server side commit. The
server previously fsync'd the entire file for each commit rpc. The
server now bawrite()s only those buffers related to the offset/size
specified in the commit rpc.
Note that we do not commit the meta-data yet. This works still needs
to be done.
Note that a further optimization can be done (and has not yet been done)
on the client: we can merge multiple potential commit rpc's into a
single rpc with a greater file offset/size range and greatly reduce
rpc traffic.

Remove inappropriate VOP_FSYNC from vm_object_page_clean(). The fsync
syncs the entire underlying file rather then just the requested range,
resulting in huge inefficiencies when the VM system is articulated in
a certain way. The VOP_FSYNC was also found to massively reduce NFS
performance in certain cases.
Change MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE to call vm_page_dontneed() instead
of vm_page_deactivate(). Using vm_page_deactivate() causes all
inactive and cache pages to be recycled before the dontneed/free page
is recycled, effectively flushing our entire VM inactive & cache
queues continuously even if only a few pages are being actively MADV
free'd and reused (such as occurs with a sequential scan of a
memory-mapped file).

Fix a bug in the block number calculation for VN disks with a sector
size != 512 that are configured without a label. The bug should only
have effected swap-backed VN mounts without a label.
Add several major features to VN. In the kernel we add a swap
pre-reservation capability, which can be used to guarentee seek
consistency for swap-backed VN nodes. This also incidently allows
a swap-backed VN filesystem to be recovered after a crash in some
cases (if the same swap blocks happen to be reserved).
We also add a number of new options to vnconfig which do the work
of pre-zeroing or creating/truncating/extending a file which greatly
simplifies using VN in a file-backed configuration.
Add FreeBSD CVS label to sys/sys/vnioctl.h, as well as a new ioctl
flag for the swap pre-reservation feature.
