# 207735 06-May-2010 jilles

Update xrefs from 4.3BSD to modern signal functions in various man pages.

sigvec(2) references have been updated to sigaction(2), sigsetmask(2) and
sigblock(2) to sigprocmask(2), sigpause(2) to sigsuspend(2).

Some legacy man pages still refer to them, that is OK.


# 194767 23-Jun-2009 kib

Usermode portion of the support for swap allocation accounting:
- update for getrlimit(2) manpage;
- support for setting RLIMIT_SWAP in login class;
- addition to the limits(1) and sh and csh limit-setting builtins;
- tuning(7) documentation on the sysctls controlling overcommit.

# 181905 20-Aug-2008 ed

Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.

If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

# 165903 08-Jan-2007 imp

Per Regents of the University of Calfornia letter, remove advertising
clause.

# If I've done so improperly on a file, please let me know.


# 131504 02-Jul-2004 ru

Mechanically kill hard sentence breaks.


# 130445 13-Jun-2004 das

Use .Dv instead of .Li for all the RLIMIT_* constants.

Requested by: ru


# 130437 13-Jun-2004 das

Document RLIMIT_AS. While here, correct an insertion sort error.

mdoc(7) police: Fixed abuses of the .Ar and .Em macros.


# 108028 18-Dec-2002 ru

mdoc(7) police: Tidy up the syscall language.

Stop calling system calls "function calls".

Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".

When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.


# 101579 09-Aug-2002 ru

mdoc(7) police: sort xrefs.

Add RLIMIT_SBSIZE here, too.

# 32450 11-Jan-1998 alex

Fixed brk(2) xref.

Obtained from: OpenBSD


# 24822 11-Apr-1997 bde

Fixed missing const(s) or #include(s) in synopsis.


# 22132 30-Jan-1997 mpp

Update to reflect current include files.


# 17782 22-Aug-1996 mpp

Correctly use .Fn instead of .Nm to reference function names
in a bunch of man pages.

Use the correct .Bx (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text
in a bunch of man pages.


# 14855 27-Mar-1996 mpp

Added missing section numbers to a bunch of .Xr macros, or
converted them into .Fn macros where appropriate. Also fixed
up some minor formatting problems.


# 14038 11-Feb-1996 mpp

Correct a bunch of man page cross references and generally
try and silence "manck".

ncurses, rpc, and some of the gnu stuff are still a big mess, however.


# 11572 19-Oct-1995 joerg

Remove the bugs section. sh(1) now has a ulimit builtin.


# 1574 27-May-1994 rgrimes
