in OpenBSD by Niels Provos. The patch introduces a bitmap of allocated
file descriptors which is used to locate available descriptors when a new
one is needed. It also moves the task of growing the file descriptor table
out of fdalloc(), reducing complexity in both fdalloc() and do_dup().
Debts of gratitude are owed to tjr@ (who provided the original patch on
which this work is based), grog@ (for the gdb(4) man page) and rwatson@
(for assistance with pxeboot(8)).
of adding the code to lock and unlock the vnodes and taking care
to avoid deadlock, simplify linux_emul_convpath() by comparing the
vnode pointers directly instead of comparing their va_fsid and
va_fileid attributes. This allows the removal of the calls to
VOP_GETATTR().
This gives +10% performance on simple tests, so definitly worth it.
A few percent more could be had by not using M_ZERO'd alloc's, but
we then need to clear fields all over the place to be safe, and
that was deemed not worth the trouble (and it makes life dangerous).
be sure to increment the refcount of the argument so it is not
prematurely deleted. This is a workaround and may appear in a different
form in ACPI-CA. This fixes battery evaluation on Thinkpads that was
broken by fixing the Dell battery state.

of the functions in libkern. Without this, parts of the kernel would
reference a non-existent (undeclared and undefined) ffs() function; the
only reason this didn't break the kernel build is that gcc happens to
have a built-in ffs() and incorrectly fails to warn about the lack of
prototypes for built-in functions.
ithread_remove_handler() may fail to remove the interrupt handler if
it decides to let the ithread do the removal. The problem is that during
boot "cold" is set, which causes msleep() to return immediately. This
will cause ithread_remove_handler() to fail to wait for the ithread
to do the removal from the handler TAILQ before freeing the handler
back to the heap. Bad things will happen when some other user of the
TAILQ, such as ithread_add_handler() or the actual ithread attempts to use
the freed handler. Fix the problem by forcing ithread_remove_handler()
to do the actual removal itself if the "cold" flag is set.

depending on a target will cause ${MAKE} to have been "reset" to
the initial value by make(1). This breaks, for example,
make MAKE="make -f subMakefile" clean. The supported way to pass
these sorts of make flags is actually the .MAKEFLAGS variable.
