FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.

This fixes a boatload of compiler warning, and removes a lot of cruft
from the sources.
I have not removed the /*ARGSUSED*/, they will require some looking at.
libkvm, ps and other userland struct proc frobbing programs will need
recompiled.
plus the previous changes to use the zone allocator decrease the useage
of malloc by half. The Zone allocator will be upgradeable to be able
to use per CPU-pools, and has more intelligent usage of SPLs. Additionally,
it has reasonable stats gathering capabilities, while making most calls
inline.
vm_inherit_t. These types are smaller than ints, so the prototypes
should have used the promoted type (int) to match the old-style function
definitions. They use just vm_prot_t and/or vm_inherit_t. This depends
on gcc features to work. I fixed the definitions since this is easiest.
The correct fix may be to change the small types to u_int, to optimize
for time instead of space.
were returning EFAULT, when it is a completely acceptable thing to do.
Also, at the same time, be a *bit* optimizing and don't allocate any
"stackgrap" memory if we're not going to use it.
This is another Oracle-discovered problem.

the XENIX version is packed, and two bytes smaller than ours. So, define
the structure, and have it packed. I used the __attribte__((packed))
modifier for this; I could also have surrounded the struct definition with
#pragma pack(2) -- but that would have meant making ibcs2_timeb's definition
outside the function. This may need to be revisited if we ever want to
compile with a compiler other than gcc. (I also used 'unsigned long'
instead of 'time_t' because I am writing to match an external specification
-- and the definition of time_t could change.)

fork. (On my machine, fork is about 240usecs, vfork is 78usecs.)
Implement rfork(!RFPROC !RFMEM), which allows a thread to divorce its memory
from the other threads of a group.
Implement rfork(!RFPROC RFCFDG), which closes all file descriptors, eliminating
possible existing shares with other threads/processes.
Implement rfork(!RFPROC RFFDG), which divorces the file descriptors for a
thread from the rest of the group.
Fix the case where a thread does an exec. It is almost nonsense for a thread
to modify the other threads address space by an exec, so we
now automatically divorce the address space before modifying it.

A special thanks to Robert Eckardt for providing an ISC binary of GNU
ls so that I could test these changes.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
- don't include <sys/ioctl.h> in any header. Include <sys/ioccom.h>
instead. This was already done in 4.4Lite for the most important
ioctl headers. Header spam currently increases kernel build
times by 10-20%. There are more than 30000 #includes (not counting
duplicates) for compiling LINT.
- include <sys/types.h> if and only it is necessary to make the header
almost self-sufficient (some ioctl headers still need structs from
elsewhere).
- uniformized idempotency ifdefs. Copied the style in the 4.4Lite
ioctl headers.
so that the compiler can see that it is OK to use const strings in
NDINIT(). Some emulators want to use paths of the form "/compat/foo".
Removed the casts that hid the non-problem. Didn't fix the missing
consts in syscalls.master that hid the non-problem.
