kern_fork.c: add the tiny bit of code for rfork operation.
kern/sysv_*: shmfork() takes one less arg, it was never used.
sys/shm.h: drop "isvfork" arg from shmfork() prototype
sys/param.h: declare rfork args.. (this is where OpenBSD put it..)
sys/filedesc.h: protos for fdshare/fdcopy.
vm/vm_mmap.c: add minherit code, add rounding to mmap() type args where
it makes sense.
vm/*: drop unused isvfork arg.
Note: this rfork() implementation copies the address space mappings,
it does not connect the mappings together. ie: once the two processes
have split, the pages may be shared, but the address space is not. If one
does a mmap() etc, it does not appear in the other. This makes it not
useful for pthreads, but it is useful in it's own right for having
light-weight threads in a static shared address space.
Obtained from: Original by Ron Minnich, extended by OpenBSD
to help diagnose a problem on wcarchive (where the kernel stack was
sometimes not present), but is useful in its own right since swapping
actually reduces performance on some systems (such as wcarchive).
Note: swapping in this context means making the U pages pageable and has
nothing to do with generic VM paging, which is unaffected by this option.

way to avoid crossing a 64K DMA boundary was to specify an alignment
greater than the size even when the alignment didn't matter, and for
sizes larger than a page, this reduced the chance of finding enough
contiguous pages. E.g., allocations of 8K not crossing a 64K boundary
previously had to be allocated on 8K boundaries; now they can be
allocated on any 4K boundary except (64 * n + 60)K.
Fixed bugs in vm_alloc_page_contig():
- the last page wasn't allocated for sizes smaller than a page.
- failures of kmem_alloc_pageable() weren't handled.
Mutated vm_page_alloc_contig() to create a more convenient interface
named contigmalloc(). This is the same as the one in 1.1.5 except
it has `low' and `high' args, and the `alignment' and `boundary'
args are multipliers instead of masks.
Speed up for vfs_bio -- addition of a routine bqrelse to greatly diminish
overhead for merged cache.
Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster. It used to do alot of redundant
calls to cluster_rbuild.
Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials.
Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6.
Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files. Additionally,
fixes in the various pagers.
Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs.
Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources. The pageout code
will not as readily thrash.
Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into
page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE),
thereby improving efficiency of several routines.
Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations.
Significantly speed up process forks.
Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause
that happens every 30seconds.
Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the
case of filesystems mounted async.
Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO
buffers.
redistribute a few last routines to beter places and shoot the file
I haven't act actually 'deleted' the file yet togive people time
to
have done a config.. I.e. they are likely to have done one in a week or so
so I'll remove it then..
it's now empty.
makes the question of a USL copyright rather moot.
seems to work hre just fine though I can't check every file

happy withe hte code..
WARNING... struct lkm[mumble] has changed
so it might be an idea to recompile any lkm related programs
up. The effect of this was that msync with a size would generally sync
1 page less than it should. This problem was brought to my attention
by Darrel Herbst <dherbst@gradin.cis.upenn.edu> and Ron Minnich
<rminnich@sarnoff.com>.
<sys/types.h> (if KERNEL is defined). This allows removing bogus
dependencies on vm stuff in several places (e.g., ddb) and stops
<vm_param.h> from depending on <vm_param.h>
Added declaration of boolean_t to <vm/vm.h> (if KERNEL is not
defined). It never belonged in <vm/vm_param.h>. Unfortunately,
it is required for some vm headers that are included by applications.
Deleted declarations of TRUE and FALSE from <vm/vm_param.h>. They
are defined in <sys/param.h> if KERNEL is defined and we'll soon
find out if any applications depend on them being defined in a vm
header.
most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
Move a lot of variables home to their own code (In good time before xmas :-)
Introduce the string descrition of format.
Add a couple more functions to poke into these marvels, while I try to
decide what the correct interface should look like.
Next is adding vars on the fly, and sysctl looking at them too.
Removed a tine bit of defunct and #ifdefed notused code in swapgeneric.
Staticized some functions.
__purified some functions. Some functions were bogusly declared as
returning `const'. This hasn't done anything since gcc-2.5. For
later versions of gcc, the equivalent is __attribute__((const)) at
the end of function declarations.
That's EVERY SINGLE driver that has an entry in conf.c..
my next trick will be to define cdevsw[] and bdevsw[]
as empty arrays and remove all those DAMNED defines as well..
Each of these drivers has a SYSINIT linker set entry
that comes in very early.. and asks teh driver to add it's own
entry to the two devsw[] tables.
some slight reworking of the commits from yesterday (added the SYSINIT
stuff and some usually wrong but token DEVFS entries to all these
devices.
BTW does anyone know where the 'ata' entries in conf.c actually reside?
seems we don't actually have a 'ataopen() etc...
If you want to add a new device in conf.c
please make sure I know
so I can keep it up to date too..
as before, this is all dependent on #if defined(JREMOD)
(and #ifdef DEVFS in parts)
This closes a probably rare but nonetheless real window that would result
in a process hanging or the system panicing.

structs and prototypes for syscalls.
Ifdefed duplicated decentralized declarations of args structs. It's
convenient to have this visible but they are hard to maintain. Some
are already different from the central declarations. 4.4lite2 puts
them in comments in the function headers but I wanted to avoid the
large changes for that.
