Add GEOM_MIRROR class which provide RAID1 functionality and has many useful
features. The gmirror(8) utility should be used for control of this class.
There is no manual page yet, but I'm working on it with keramida@.
Many useful tests provided by: simon (thank you!)
Some ideas from: scottl, simon, phk
Put a version element in the VFS filesystem configuration structure
and refuse initializing filesystems with a wrong version. This will
aid maintenance activites on the 5-stable branch.
s/vfs_mount/vfs_omount/
s/vfs_nmount/vfs_mount/
Name our filesystems mount function consistently.
Eliminate the namiedata argument to both vfs_mount and vfs_omount.
It was originally there to save stack space. A few places abused
it to get hold of some credentials to pass around. Effectively
it is unused.
- Push down the acquisition and release of Giant into pmap_protect() on
those architectures without pmap locking.
- Eliminate the acquisition and release of Giant from vm_map_protect().
(Translation: mprotect(2) runs to completion without touching Giant on
alpha, amd64, i386 and ia64.)
- Add pmap locking to ia64's pmap_enter() and pmap_enter_quick(). (This
brings ia64 to parity with alpha, amd64, and i386 in this area.)
- Prevent a race in pmap_find_pte(): If pmap_find_pte() sleeps in
uma_zalloc(), another thread could allocate a pte at the same address.
Instead, sleep at a higher level and retry the lookup before retrying
the allocation.
Allow to create slices on providers from class LABEL and class NOP.
This is really ugly way to do this, but there is no other way for now.
It allows to mount root file system from providers which belong to
those classes.
Finish cleanup of rc.d/netif. It's now possible to start/stop more
than one interface from the command line:
# /etc/rc.d/netif start bfe0 xl0
It's also possible to restart an interface(s):
# /etc/rc.d/netif restart bfe0
This required some changes to rc.subr(8) so that if the start/stop commands
are overidden the rest of the command line (after the start/stop/etc... cmd)
is passed through to the subroutines.
o Assertions to catch that stuff that shouldn't happen is not happening.
o In the rwlock code: move a duplicated check inside an if..else to after
the if...else clause.
o When initializing a static rwlock move the initialization check
inside the lock.
o In thr_setschedparam.c: When breaking out of the trylock...retry if busy
loop make sure to reset the mtx pointer to null if the mutex is nolonger
in a queue.
Open a socket for a data transfer in active mode using euid
of the current user, not root. This will allow neat things
like matching anonymous FTP data traffic with a single ipfw(8)
rule:
ipfw add ... tcp from any to any uid ftp
Note that the control connection socket still belongs to the
user ftpd(8) was started from, usually root.
Get rid of another lockmgr(9) consumer by using sx locks for the user
maps. We always acquire the sx lock exclusively here, but we can't
use a mutex because we want to be able to sleep while holding the
lock. This is completely equivalent to what we were doing with the
lockmgr(9) locks before.
- Add '-S' option, which allow to specify sector size for transparent
provider.
- Bump version number.
This allows for a quite interesting trick. One can setup a stripe with
stripe size of 512 bytes and create transparent provider on top of it
with sector size equal to <ndisks> * 512. The result will be something
like RAID3 without parity disk (every access will touch all disks).
Conditionalize the bzip2/gzip compression/decompression
code on the existence of the relevant libraries (actually,
the existence of the include files).
This will allow the library to be easily ported to systems
that don't have these libraries. (Of course, it also means
that clients using the library on such systems will not be
able to take advantage of the automatic compression format
detection.)
Add support for the Synaptics Touchpad mouse driver. I reworked the
submitted version with style cleanups and changes to comments. I also
modified the ioctl interface. This version only has one ioctl (to get
the Synaptics-specific config parameters) since this is the only
information a user might want.

Re-word the COMPATIBILITY section, taking care to use the word "deprecated"
to describe the 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside the range
of unsigned char. This gives us freedom to remove this extension when we
remove the <rune.h> interface in FreeBSD 6.
Advance the state of pmap locking on alpha, amd64, and i386.
- Enable recursion on the page queues lock. This allows calls to
vm_page_alloc(VM_ALLOC_NORMAL) and UMA's obj_alloc() with the page
queues lock held. Such calls are made to allocate page table pages
and pv entries.
- The previous change enables a partial reversion of vm/vm_page.c
revision 1.216, i.e., the call to vm_page_alloc() by vm_page_cowfault()
now specifies VM_ALLOC_NORMAL rather than VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT.
- Add partial locking to pmap_copy(). (As a side-effect, pmap_copy()
should now be faster on i386 SMP because it no longer generates IPIs
for TLB shootdown on the other processors.)
- Complete the locking of pmap_enter() and pmap_enter_quick(). (As of now,
all changes to a user-level pmap on alpha, amd64, and i386 are performed
with appropriate locking.)
Rework the way slab header storage space is calculated in UMA.
- zone_large_init() stays pretty much the same.
- zone_small_init() will try to stash the slab header in the slab page
being allocated if the amount of calculated wasted space is less
than UMA_MAX_WASTE (for both the UMA_ZONE_REFCNT case and regular
case). If the amount of wasted space is >= UMA_MAX_WASTE, then
UMA_ZONE_OFFPAGE will be set and the slab header will be allocated
separately for better use of space.
- uma_startup() calculates the maximum ipers required in offpage slabs
(so that the offpage slab header zone(s) can be sized accordingly).
The algorithm used to calculate this replaces the old calculation
(which only happened to work coincidentally). We now iterate over
possible object sizes, starting from the smallest one, until we
determine that wastedspace calculated in zone_small_init() might
end up being greater than UMA_MAX_WASTE, at which point we use the
found object size to compute the maximum possible ipers. The
reason this works is because:
- wastedspace versus objectsize is a see-saw function with
local minima all equal to zero and local maxima growing
directly proportioned to objectsize. This implies that
for objects up to or equal a certain objectsize, the see-saw
remains entirely below UMA_MAX_WASTE, so for those objectsizes
it is impossible to ever go OFFPAGE for slab headers.
- ipers (items-per-slab) versus objectsize is an inversely
proportional function which falls off very quickly (very large
for small objectsizes).
- To determine the maximum ipers we'll ever need from OFFPAGE
slab headers we first find the largest objectsize for which
we are guaranteed to not go offpage for and use it to compute
ipers (as though we were offpage). Since the only objectsizes
allowed to go offpage are bigger than the found objectsize,
and since ipers vs objectsize is inversely proportional (and
monotonically decreasing), then we are guaranteed that the
ipers computed is always >= what we will ever need in offpage
slab headers.
- Define UMA_FRITM_SZ and UMA_FRITMREF_SZ to be the actual (possibly
padded) size of each freelist index so that offset calculations are
fixed.
This might fix weird data corruption problems and certainly allows
ARM to now boot to at least single-user (via simulator).
Tested on i386 UP by me.
Tested on sparc64 SMP by fenner.
Tested on ARM simulator to single-user by cognet.

Implement POSIX's '+' flag for command lines. This flag causes a line
to be executed even when -n is given on the command line to make. This is
very handy for calls to submakes.
This is slightly changed from the original patch as obtained from NetBSD.
The NetBSD variant prints lines which have both '+' and '@' when -n
is specified. The commited version always obeys '@'.
Bump MAKE_VERSION so Makefiles can use this conditionally.
Add support for multibyte characters. The output is questionable when a
character straddles the "start" or "stop" columns, but this should be
quite uncommon.
Fix ACPI floppy enumeration for three types of divergent behavior.
* Some systems have _FDE and child floppy devices, but no _FDI. This seems
to be compatible with the standard. Don't error out if there is no _FDI.
Instead, continue on to the next device. The normal fd probe will take
care of this device.
* Some systems have _FDE but no child devices in AML. For these, add a
second pass that compares the results of _FDE to the presence of devices.
If not present, add the missing device.
* Some BIOS authors didn't read the spec. They use tape drive values for
all fdc(4) devices. Since this isn't grossly incompatible with the
required boolean value, use them. They also define the _FDE items as a
package instead of buffer. Regenerate the buffer from the package if it
is present.
Remove global variable rootdevs and rootvp, they are unused as such.
Add local rootvp variables as needed.
Remove checks for miniroot's in the swappartition. We never did that
and most of the filesystems could never be used for that, but it had
still been copy&pasted all over the place.
Correct a very old error in both vm_object_madvise() (originating in
vm/vm_object.c revision 1.88) and vm_object_sync() (originating in
vm/vm_map.c revision 1.36): When descending a chain of backing objects,
both use the wrong object's backing offset. Consequently, both may
operate on the wrong pages.
Quoting Matt, "This could be responsible for all of the sporatic madvise
oddness that has been reported over the years."
