o Properly use rman(9) to manage resources. This eliminates the
need to puc-specific hacks to rman. It also allows devinfo(8)
to be used to find out the specific assignment of resources to
serial/parallel ports.
o Compress the PCI device "database" by optimizing for the common
case and to use a procedural interface to handle the exceptions.
The procedural interface also generalizes the need to setup the
hardware (program chipsets, program clock frequencies).
o Eliminate the need for PUC_FASTINTR. Serdev devices are fast by
default and non-serdev devices are handled by the bus.
o Use the serdev I/F to collect interrupt status and to handle
interrupts across ports in priority order.
o Sync the PCI device configuration to include devices found in
NetBSD and not yet merged to FreeBSD.
o Add support for Quatech 2, 4 and 8 port UARTs.
o Add support for a couple dozen Timedia serial cards as found
in Linux.
This driver was generously developed and donated by Highpoint.
It is enabled for i386 only at the moment. I will enable it for amd64
shortly.

This allows one to change the behavior of the driver pre-boot.

end for isa(4).
o Add a seperate bus frontend for acpi(4) and allow ISA DMA for
it when ISA is configured in the kernel. This allows acpi(4)
attachments in non-ISA configurations, as is possible for ia64.
o Add a seperate bus frontend for pci(4) and detect known single
port parallel cards.
o Merge PC98 specific changes under pc98/cbus into the MI driver.
The changes are minor enough for conditional compilation and
in this form invites better abstraction.
o Have ppc(4) usabled on all platforms, now that ISA specifics
are untangled enough.
Major differences:
* since there is no direct map region, there is no custom uma memory
allocator to modify to include its pages in the dumps.
* Various data entries are reduced from 64 bit to 32 bit to match the
native size.
dump_add_page() and dump_drop_page() are still present in case one wants to
arrange for arbitary pages to be dumped. This is of marginal use though
because libkvm+kgdb cannot address physical memory that isn't mapped into
kvm.
via the debug.minidump sysctl and tunable.
Traditional dumps store all physical memory. This was once a good thing
when machines had a maximum of 64M of ram and 1GB of kvm. These days,
machines often have many gigabytes of ram and a smaller amount of kvm.
libkvm+kgdb don't have a way to access physical ram that is not mapped
into kvm at the time of the crash dump, so the extra ram being dumped
is mostly wasted.
Minidumps invert the process. Instead of dumping physical memory in
in order to guarantee that all of kvm's backing is dumped, minidumps
instead dump only memory that is actively mapped into kvm.
amd64 has a direct map region that things like UMA use. Obviously we
cannot dump all of the direct map region because that is effectively
an old style all-physical-memory dump. Instead, introduce a bitmap
and two helper routines (dump_add_page(pa) and dump_drop_page(pa)) that
allow certain critical direct map pages to be included in the dump.
uma_machdep.c's allocator is the intended consumer.
Dumps are a custom format. At the very beginning of the file is a header,
then a copy of the message buffer, then the bitmap of pages present in
the dump, then the final level of the kvm page table trees (2MB mappings
are expanded into a 4K page mappings), then the sparse physical pages
according to the bitmap. libkvm can now conveniently access the kvm
page table entries.
Booting my test 8GB machine, forcing it into ddb and forcing a dump
leads to a 48MB minidump. While this is a best case, I expect minidumps
to be in the 100MB-500MB range. Obviously, never larger than physical
memory of course.
minidumps are on by default. It would want be necessary to turn them off
if it was necessary to debug corrupt kernel page table management as that
would mess up minidumps as well.
Both minidumps and regular dumps are supported on the same machine.
o Add the scc(4) manpage to the build.
o Update the uart(4) manpage to account for scc(4).
o Update the uart(4) module build to include support for scc(4).
branch:
Integrate audit.c to audit_worker.c, so as to migrate the worker
thread implementation to its own .c file.
Populate audit_worker.c using parts now removed from audit.c:
- Move audit rotation global variables.
- Move audit_record_write(), audit_worker_rotate(),
audit_worker_drain(), audit_worker(), audit_rotate_vnode().
- Create audit_worker_init() from relevant parts of audit_init(),
which now calls this routine.
- Recreate audit_free(), which wraps uma_zfree() so that
audit_record_zone can be static to audit.c.
- Unstaticize various types and variables relating to the audit
record queue so that audit_worker can get to them. We may want
to wrap these in accessor methods at some point.
- Move AUDIT_PRINTF() to audit_private.h.
Addition of audit_worker.c to kernel configuration, missed in
earlier submit.

enabled by default in NETSMB and smbfs.ko.
With the most of modern SMB providers requiring encryption by
default, there is little sense left in keeping the crypto part
of NETSMB optional at the build time.
This will also return smbfs.ko to its former properties users
are rather accustomed to.

applications to insert a "tee" in the live audit event stream. Records
are inserted into a per-clone queue so that user processes can pull
discreet records out of the queue. Unlike delivery to disk, audit pipes
are "lossy", dropping records in low memory conditions or when the
process falls behind real-time events. This mechanism is appropriate
for use by live monitoring systems, host-based intrusion detection, etc,
and avoids applications having to dig through active on-disk trails that
are owned by the audit daemon.

stubs can return ENOSYS rather than the system call code
generating SIGSYS for the system calls. We are not yet ready to

won't be there until after the system calls for audit are added.
