index becomes per-directory (initially, a red-black tree). The remaining
changes on the branch to namei()/getcwd() will be merged in the future.

creating a new pool l1ttpl for the userland L1 translation table which
needs to be 8KB and 8KB aligned.
Limit the pool to maxproc and add hooks to allow the sysctl changing of
maxproc to adjust the pool.
This comes at a 5% performance penalty for build.sh -j8 kernel on a
Tegra TK1.

without any synchronization against changes by e.g. clock_settime().
- Replace with new getbinboottime() / getnanoboottime() / getmicroboottime()
functions (naming mirrors that of other time access functions in kern_tc.c).
It returns the (maybe-converted) value of timebasebin, which also tracks
our estimate of when the system was booted (i.e. the legacy "boottime" was
redundant).
XXX There needs to be a lockless synchronization mechanism for reading
timebasebin, but this is a problem in kern_tc.c that pre-existed these
"boottime" changes. At least now the problem is centralized in one location.

- make sysctl kern.expose_address tri-state:
0: no access
1: access to processes with open /dev/kmem
2: access to everyone
defaults:
0: KASLR kernels
1: non-KASLR kernels
- improve efficiency by calling get_expose_address() per sysctl, not per
process.
- don't expose addresses for linux procfs
- welcome to 8.99.27, changes to fill_*proc ABI

sysctl structure returns for non-root. Defaults to off. Turning it
on will restore sockstat/fstat and friends for regular users.

These functions are defined on unsigned int. The generic name
min/max should not silently truncate to 32 bits on 64-bit systems.
This is purely a name change -- no functional change intended.
HOWEVER! Some subsystems have
#define min(a, b) ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))
#define max(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
even though our standard name for that is MIN/MAX. Although these
may invite multiple evaluation bugs, these do _not_ cause integer
truncation.
To avoid `fixing' these cases, I first changed the name in libkern,
and then compile-tested every file where min/max occurred in order to
confirm that it failed -- and thus confirm that nothing shadowed
min/max -- before changing it.
I have left a handful of bootloaders that are too annoying to
compile-test, and some dead code:
cobalt ews4800mips hp300 hppa ia64 luna68k vax
acorn32/if_ie.c (not included in any kernels)
macppc/if_gm.c (superseded by gem(4))
It should be easy to fix the fallout once identified -- this way of
doing things fails safe, and the goal here, after all, is to _avoid_
silent integer truncations, not introduce them.
Maybe one day we can reintroduce min/max as type-generic things that
never silently truncate. But we should avoid doing that for a while,
so that existing code has a chance to be detected by the compiler for
conversion to uimin/uimax without changing the semantics until we can
properly audit it all. (Who knows, maybe in some cases integer
truncation is actually intended!)

- Remove unused *_NAMES macros for sysctl.
- Remove unused *_MAXID for sysctls.
- Move CTL_MACHDEP sysctl definitions for m68k into m68k/include/cpu.h and
use them on all m68k machines.

kmem_alloc() with KM_SLEEP
kmem_zalloc() with KM_SLEEP
percpu_alloc()
pserialize_create()
psref_class_create()
all of these paths include an assertion that the allocation has not failed,
so callers should not assert that again.

always equal to "desiredvnodes" and move its definition
from sys/vnode.h to sys/vnode_impl.h.
Extend vfs_drainvnodes() to also wait for deferred vrele to flush
and replace the call to vrele_flush() with a call to vfs_drainvnodes().

sysctl data belongs with the module code. Move it from kern/init_sysctl.c
to kern/uipc_sem.c
While here, add a new sysctl variable kern.posix.semcnt (current count of
semaphores) to complement the existing kern.posix.semmax (maximum number
of semaphores).

to init_sysctl_base (only base kernel defs). Main motivation was to
fix sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS) for Rumprun. As reported by neeraj on irc,
it returned -1 before this fix, so we were doing imaginary computing.

This allows uname(3) and uname(1) to work on rump kernels.

change the kern.ipc.sysvxxx sysctls into dynamic values, so each
sub-component of SYSVxxx can declare its own availability.

- vcache_get() retrieves a referenced and initialised vnode / fs node pair.
- vcache_remove() removes a vnode / fs node pair from the cache.
On cache miss vcache_get() calls new vfs operation vfs_loadvnode() to
initialise a vnode / fs node pair. This call is guaranteed exclusive,
no other thread will try to load this vnode / fs node pair.
Convert ufs/ext2fs, ufs/ffs and ufs/mfs to use this interface.
Remove now unused ufs/ufs_ihash

kern.rawpartition sysctl support to rump kernel.
Moved the sysctl support that is shared between rump and normal
kernels to init_sysctl_base.c as rump cannot use init_sysctl.c
in order to avoid code duplication. Agreed with pooka@.

passed to sysctl_createv() actually matches the declared type for
the item itself.
In the places where the caller specifies a function and a structure
address (typically the 'softc') an explicit (void *) cast is now needed.
Fixes bugs in sys/dev/acpi/asus_acpi.c sys/dev/bluetooth/bcsp.c
sys/kern/vfs_bio.c sys/miscfs/syncfs/sync_subr.c and setting
AcpiGbl_EnableAmlDebugObject.
(mostly passing the address of a uint64_t when typed as CTLTYPE_INT).
I've test built quite a few kernels, but there may be some unfixed MD
fallout. Most likely passing &char[] to char *.
Also add CTLFLAG_UNSIGNED for unsiged decimals - not set yet.

implementation. Rewrite pseudodevice code to use cprng_strong(9).
The new pseudodevice is cloning, so each caller gets bits from a stream
generated with its own key. Users of /dev/urandom get their generators
keyed on a "best effort" basis -- the kernel will rekey generators
whenever the entropy pool hits the high water mark -- while users of
/dev/random get their generators rekeyed every time key-length bits
are output.
The underlying cprng_strong API can use AES-256 or AES-128, but we use
AES-128 because of concerns about related-key attacks on AES-256. This
improves performance (and reduces entropy pool depletion) significantly
for users of /dev/urandom but does cause users of /dev/random to rekey
twice as often.
Also fixes various bugs (including some missing locking and a reseed-counter
overflow in the CTR_DRBG code) found while testing this.
For long reads, this generator is approximately 20 times as fast as the
old generator (dd with bs=64K yields 53MB/sec on 2Ghz Core2 instead of
2.5MB/sec) and also uses a separate mutex per instance so concurrency
is greatly improved. For reads of typical key sizes for modern
cryptosystems (16-32 bytes) performance is about the same as the old
code: a little better for 32 bytes, a little worse for 16 bytes.

sucking up to 8192 bytes out of the kernel arc4random() generator at a
time. Supposedly some very old application code uses this to rekey
other instances of RC4 in userspace (a truly great idea). Reduce the
limit to 256 bytes -- and note that it will probably be reduced to
sizeof(int) in the future, since this node is so documented.

<20111022023242.BA26F14A158@mail.netbsd.org>. This change includes
the following:
An initial cleanup and minor reorganization of the entropy pool
code in sys/dev/rnd.c and sys/dev/rndpool.c. Several bugs are
fixed. Some effort is made to accumulate entropy more quickly at
boot time.
A generic interface, "rndsink", is added, for stream generators to
request that they be re-keyed with good quality entropy from the pool
as soon as it is available.
The arc4random()/arc4randbytes() implementation in libkern is
adjusted to use the rndsink interface for rekeying, which helps
address the problem of low-quality keys at boot time.
An implementation of the FIPS 140-2 statistical tests for random
number generator quality is provided (libkern/rngtest.c). This
is based on Greg Rose's implementation from Qualcomm.
A new random stream generator, nist_ctr_drbg, is provided. It is
based on an implementation of the NIST SP800-90 CTR_DRBG by
Henric Jungheim. This generator users AES in a modified counter
mode to generate a backtracking-resistant random stream.
An abstraction layer, "cprng", is provided for in-kernel consumers
of randomness. The arc4random/arc4randbytes API is deprecated for
in-kernel use. It is replaced by "cprng_strong". The current
cprng_fast implementation wraps the existing arc4random
implementation. The current cprng_strong implementation wraps the
new CTR_DRBG implementation. Both interfaces are rekeyed from
the entropy pool automatically at intervals justifiable from best
current cryptographic practice.
In some quick tests, cprng_fast() is about the same speed as
the old arc4randbytes(), and cprng_strong() is about 20% faster
than rnd_extract_data(). Performance is expected to improve.
The AES code in src/crypto/rijndael is no longer an optional
kernel component, as it is required by cprng_strong, which is
not an optional kernel component.
The entropy pool output is subjected to the rngtest tests at
startup time; if it fails, the system will reboot. There is
approximately a 3/10000 chance of a false positive from these
tests. Entropy pool _input_ from hardware random numbers is
subjected to the rngtest tests at attach time, as well as the
FIPS continuous-output test, to detect bad or stuck hardware
RNGs; if any are detected, they are detached, but the system
continues to run.
A problem with rndctl(8) is fixed -- datastructures with
pointers in arrays are no longer passed to userspace (this
was not a security problem, but rather a major issue for
compat32). A new kernel will require a new rndctl.
The sysctl kern.arandom() and kern.urandom() nodes are hooked
up to the new generators, but the /dev/*random pseudodevices
are not, yet.
Manual pages for the new kernel interfaces are forthcoming.

This is used by disk tools such as disklabel(8) to dynamically decide is
the undelyling platform uses a disklabel-in-mbr-partition or not
(instead of using a compile-time list of ports).
getlabelusesmbr() reads the sysctl kern.labelusesmbr, takes its value from the
machdep #define LABELUSESMBR.
For evbmips, make LABELUSESMBR 1 if the platform uses pmon
as bootloader, and 0 (the previous value) otherwise.

add CTLFLAG_IMMEDIATE to flags. Make the macro block logically reversed so
it looks more natural when reading.
