at people. This has been sitting in my tree for a few months now. I
have spoken with quite a few folks about this and the support for doing
this was pretty strong. I dont remember names though, so I cannot share
the blame :-(. Note that this does not *remove* DD mode, it just stops
waving it at new users. You can still set it via config files etc, and
the bootblocks and kernel still support it. You can still use disklabel
to make true DD disks.
time I tinkered around here. Since INTREN is called from the interrupt
critical path now, it should not be too expensive. In this case, we
look at the bits being changed to decide which 8 bit IO port to write to
rather than unconditionally writing to both. I could probably have gone
further and only done the write if the bits actually changed, but that
seemed overkill for the usual case in interrupt threads.
[an outb is rather expensive when it has to cross the ISA bus]
exactly the same functionality via a sysctl, making this feature
a run-time option.
The default is 1(ON), which means that /dev/random device will
NOT block at startup.
setting kern.random.sys.seeded to 0(OFF) will cause /dev/random
to block until the next reseed, at which stage the sysctl
will be changed back to 1(ON).
While I'm here, clean up the sysctls, and make them dynamic.

Zsh users can add the following to their .zshrc for sysctl completion:
function listsysctls {
case $1 in
*.*) set -A reply $(sysctl -AN ${1%.*}) ;;
*) set -A reply $(sysctl -AN) ;;
esac
}
compctl -K listsysctls sysctl
While I'm here, brucify the getopt() switch.
This makes "mkdir /nonexistant/foo" complain that /nonexistant
doesn't exist rather than /nonexistant/foo which doesn't make much
sense.

implement memory fences for the 486+. The 386 still uses versions w/o
memory fences as all operations on the 386 are not program ordered.
The 386 versions are not MP safe.
it at boot time closer to the way we want it to be in the final version.
* Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy
* Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems
to be a better default, although still bikeshed material.
* Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands
and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random
a better chance of running without blocking early.
* Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point
immediately after the disks are mounted.
* Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the
possibility of accidentally overwriting something other
than a regular file.

start), put in the text "*invalid*" instead.
This is damage control, not a fix.

The tightening up of version number checking also fixes a bug where
a package file such as gtk.tgz would have resulting in gtk-engines
being deinstalled.

supported since it's not easy to put 3 bytes accross 64Kb windows
of memory. This should not be such a problem with linear framebuffers.
There is no major interface modification except that the color type
becomes u_long instead of byte. So one just need to recompile his
application.
