# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 221807 12-May-2011 stas

- Commit work from libprocstat project. These patches add support for runtime
file and processes information retrieval from the running kernel via sysctl
in the form of new library, libprocstat. The library also supports KVM backend
for analyzing memory crash dumps. Both procstat(1) and fstat(1) utilities have
been modified to take advantage of the library (as the bonus point the fstat(1)
utility no longer need superuser privileges to operate), and the procstat(1)
utility is now able to display information from memory dumps as well.

The newly introduced fuser(1) utility also uses this library and able to operate
via sysctl and kvm backends.

The library is by no means complete (e.g. KVM backend is missing vnode name
resolution routines, and there're no manpages for the library itself) so I
plan to improve it further. I'm commiting it so it will get wider exposure
and review.

We won't be able to MFC this work as it relies on changes in HEAD, which
was introduced some time ago, that break kernel ABI. OTOH we may be able
to merge the library with KVM backend if we really need it there.

# 200462 13-Dec-2009 delphij

Revert most part of 200420 as requested, as more review and polish is
needed.


# 200420 11-Dec-2009 delphij

Remove unneeded header includes from usr.bin/ except contributed code.

Tested with: make universe


# 195840 24-Jul-2009 jhb

Add a new type of VM object: OBJT_SG. An OBJT_SG object is very similar to
a device pager (OBJT_DEVICE) object in that it uses fictitious pages to
provide aliases to other memory addresses. The primary difference is that
it uses an sglist(9) to determine the physical addresses for a given offset
into the object instead of invoking the d_mmap() method in a device driver.

Include param.h instead of types.h before user.h so that the nested
include of param.h can be removed from audit.h.

# 186315 19-Dec-2008 marcus

Do not segfault when procstat -f or procstat -v is called on a process not
owned by the current user. If kinfo_getfile() or kinfo_getvmmap() return
NULL, simply exit, and do not try and derefernce the memory.

# 185563 02-Dec-2008 peter

Update format string for kve_start/end.


# 185548 02-Dec-2008 peter

Merge user/peter/kinfo branch as of r185547 into head.

This changes struct kinfo_filedesc and kinfo_vmentry such that they are
same on both 32 and 64 bit platforms like i386/amd64 and won't require
sysctl wrapping.

Two new OIDs are assigned. The old ones are available under
COMPAT_FREEBSD7 - but it isn't that simple. The superceded interface
was never actually released on 7.x.

The other main change is to pack the data passed to userland via the
sysctl. kf_structsize and kve_structsize are reduced for the copyout.
If you have a process with 100,000+ sockets open, the unpacked records
require a 132MB+ copyout. With packing, it is "only" ~35MB. (Still
seriously unpleasant, but not quite as devastating). A similar problem
exists for the vmentry structure - have lots and lots of shared libraries
and small mmaps and its copyout gets expensive too.

My immediate problem is valgrind. It traditionally achieves this
functionality by parsing procfs output, in a packed format. Secondly, when
tracing 32 bit binaries on amd64 under valgrind, it uses a cross compiled
32 bit binary which ran directly into the differing data structures in 32
vs 64 bit mode. (valgrind uses this to track file descriptor operations
and this therefore affected every single 32 bit binary)

I've added two utility functions to libutil to unpack the structures into
a fixed record length and to make it a little more convenient to use.


# 176107 08-Feb-2008 dwmalone

WARNS fixes: mainly constness and avoid comparing signed with
unsigned by making array indicies unsigned. Also note one or two
unused parameters.


# 174199 02-Dec-2007 rwatson

Add procstat(1), a process inspection utility. This provides both some
of the missing functionality from procfs(4) and new functionality for
monitoring and debugging specific processes. procstat(1) operates in
the following modes:

-b Display binary information for the process.
-c Display command line arguments for the process.
-f Display file descriptor information for the process.
-k Display the stacks of kernel threads in the process.
-s Display security credential information for the process.
-t Display thread information for the process.
-v Display virtual memory mappings for the process.

Further revision and modes are expected.
