Final part of this bunch of sysctl commits: cleanup.

The entire sysctl callback to read/write version. I havn't tested this as
much as I'd like to, but the malloc stunt I tried for an interim for
sure does worse.
Now we can read and write from any kin

The entire sysctl callback to read/write version. I havn't tested this as
much as I'd like to, but the malloc stunt I tried for an interim for
sure does worse.
Now we can read and write from any kind of address-space, not only
user and kernel, using callbacks.
This may be over-generalization for now, but it's actually simpler.

convert more sysctl variables.

Add qsort prototype.
Add userland_sysctl prototype.

Fix some of the sysctl broke, and add a lot more to it.

On working the new sysctl vars a bit I realized that I needed more generality.
This is here now. We can now access (the new) sysctl variables from the

On working the new sysctl vars a bit I realized that I needed more generality.
This is here now. We can now access (the new) sysctl variables from the
kernel too and using functions to handle access is more sane now.
I will now attack sysctl variables in the rest of the kernel and get them
all converted to newspeak.

Make somaxconn (maximum backlog in a listen(2) request) and sb_max
(maximum size of a socket buffer) tunable.

Sorry, the last commit screwed up for me, this is the right one (I hope!)
Please refer to the previous commit message about sysctl variables.

Rewamp the way we make sysctl variables to be easier to cope with.

The goal is to make them "user-friendly" :-)

In the end this will allow a SNMP style "getnext" function, sysctl editing
in the boot-editor and/or debugger, LKMs can define sysctl vars when
they get loaded, and remove them when unloaded and other interesting
uses for dynamic sysctl variables.

Killed bogus sparc #ifdef.

Remove trailing whitespace.

The death of `options NODUMP'. Now the dump area can be dynamically
configured (and unconfigured) on the fly. A sysctl(3) MIB variable is
provided to inspect and modify the dump device setting.

Add and move declarations to fix all of the warnings from `gcc -Wimplicit'
(except in netccitt, netiso and netns) and most of the warnings from
`gcc -Wnested-externs'. Fix all the bugs found. There

Add and move declarations to fix all of the warnings from `gcc -Wimplicit'
(except in netccitt, netiso and netns) and most of the warnings from
`gcc -Wnested-externs'. Fix all the bugs found. There were no serious

Implement maxprocperuid and maxfilesperproc. They are tunable
via sysctl(8). The initial value of maxprocperuid is maxproc-1,
that of maxfilesperproc is maxfiles (untill maxfile will disappear)

Implement maxprocperuid and maxfilesperproc. They are tunable

that of maxfilesperproc is maxfiles (untill maxfile will disappear)

Now it is at least possible to prohibit one user opening maxfiles

Update stupid declaration in comment to match code.

Declare all public syscntlfn's here.

dkstat.h: declare dk_names
sysctl.h: add HW_DEVCONF
devconf.h: machine-independent parts of config table

Cosmetics. (sort of) Added 19 prototypes.

I got my patch-file applied twice it seems. Fixed.

Prototypes of today. Brought to you by a 28 minute transit time on BART :-)

Cosmetics. Added four prototypes.

Prototypes, prototypes and even more prototypes. Not quite done yet, but
getting closer all the time.

Add MIB variable kern.bootfile (R/W) giving the name of the booted kernel.
Kernel variable is kernelname[].

Implemented loadable VFS modules, and made most existing filesystems
loadable. (NFS is a notable exception.)

Redo Kernel NTP PLL support, kernel side.

Dave Mills's kern.tar.Z example). A few significant differences:

Redo Kernel NTP PLL support, kernel side.

This code is mostly taken from the 1.1 port (which was in turn taken from
Dave Mills's kern.tar.Z example). A few significant differences:

1) ntp_gettime() is now a MIB variable rather than a system call. A few
fiddles are done in libc to make it behave the same.

2) mono_time does not participate in the PLL adjustments.

3) A new interface has been defined (in <machine/clock.h>) for doing
possibly machine-dependent things around the time of the clock update.
This is used in Pentium kernels to disable interrupts, set `time', and
reset the CPU cycle counter as quickly as possible to avoid jitter in
microtime(). Measurements show an apparent resolution of a bit more than
8.14usec, which is reasonable given system-call overhead.

Remove all ADJKERNTZ references, now all this stuff in cpu.h
