<title>Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bc093719ca478fe10b938cef32c30b528042cbcd</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

setenv(3) by tracking the size of the memory allocated instead of using
strlen() on the current value.

Convert all calls to POSIX from historic BSD API:
 - unsetenv returns an int.
 - putenv takes a char * instead of const char *.
 - putenv no longer makes a copy of the input string.
 - errno is set appropriately for POSIX.  Exceptions involve bad environ
   variable and internal initialization code.  These both set errno to
   EFAULT.

Several patches to base utilities to handle the POSIX changes from
Andrey Chernov's previous commit.  A few I re-wrote to use setenv()
instead of putenv().

New regression module for tools/regression/environ to test these
functions.  It also can be used to test the performance.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700050 due to API change.

  * Add posix_memalign().

  * Move calloc() from calloc.c to malloc.c.  Add a calloc() implementation in
    rtld-elf in order to make the loader happy (even though calloc() isn't
    used in rtld-elf).

  * Add _malloc_prefork() and _malloc_postfork(), and use them instead of
    directly manipulating __malloc_lock.
