* Remove the support for using non-mpsafe filesystem modules.kib2012-10-221-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, do not lock Giant conditionally when calling into the filesystem module, remove the VFS_LOCK_GIANT() and related macros. Stop handling buffers belonging to non-mpsafe filesystems. The VFS_VERSION is bumped to indicate the interface change which does not result in the interface signatures changes.

* Fix found places where uio_resid is truncated to int.kib2012-02-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Add the sysctl debug.iosize_max_clamp, enabled by default. Setting the sysctl to zero allows to perform the SSIZE_MAX-sized i/o requests from the usermode. Discussed with: bde, das (previous versions) MFC after: 1 month

* Merge projects/enhanced_coredumps (r204346) into HEAD:alfred2010-03-021-0/+406
Enhanced process coredump routines. This brings in the following features: 1) Limit number of cores per process via the %I coredump formatter. Example: if corefilename is set to %N.%I.core AND num_cores = 3, then if a process "rpd" cores, then the corefile will be named "rpd.0.core", however if it cores again, then the kernel will generate "rpd.1.core" until we hit the limit of "num_cores". this is useful to get several corefiles, but also prevent filling the machine with corefiles. 2) Encode machine hostname in core dump name via %H. 3) Compress coredumps, useful for embedded platforms with limited space. A sysctl kern.compress_user_cores is made available if turned on. To enable compressed coredumps, the following config options need to be set: options COMPRESS_USER_CORES device zlib # brings in the zlib requirements. device gzio # brings in the kernel vnode gzip output module. 4) Eventhandlers are fired to indicate coredumps in progress. 5) The imgact sv_coredump routine has grown a flag to pass in more state, currently this is used only for passing a flag down to compress the coredump or not. Note that the gzio facility can be used for generic output of gzip'd streams via vnodes. Obtained from: Juniper Networks Reviewed by: kan
