multiple unmapped pages.
Unmapped mbufs allow sendfile to carry multiple pages of data in a
single mbuf, without mapping those pages. It is a requirement for
Netflix's in-kernel TLS, and provides a 5-10% CPU savings on heavy web
serving workloads when used by sendfile, due to effectively
compressing socket buffers by an order of magnitude, and hence
reducing cache misses.
For this new external mbuf buffer type (EXT_PGS), the ext_buf pointer
now points to a struct mbuf_ext_pgs structure instead of a data
buffer. This structure contains an array of physical addresses (this
reduces cache misses compared to an earlier version that stored an
array of vm_page_t pointers). It also stores additional fields needed
for in-kernel TLS such as the TLS header and trailer data that are
currently unused. To more easily detect these mbufs, the M_NOMAP flag
is set in m_flags in addition to M_EXT.
Various functions like m_copydata() have been updated to safely access
packet contents (using uiomove_fromphys()), to make things like BPF
safe.
NIC drivers advertise support for unmapped mbufs on transmit via a new
IFCAP_NOMAP capability. This capability can be toggled via the new
'nomap' and '-nomap' ifconfig(8) commands. For NIC drivers that only
transmit packet contents via DMA and use bus_dma, adding the
capability to if_capabilities and if_capenable should be all that is
required.
If a NIC does not support unmapped mbufs, they are converted to a
chain of mapped mbufs (using sf_bufs to provide the mapping) in
ip_output or ip6_output. If an unmapped mbuf requires software
checksums, it is also converted to a chain of mapped mbufs before
computing the checksum.

into using a STAILQ instead of a linear array.
The multicast memberships for the inpcb structure are protected by a
non-sleepable lock, INP_WLOCK(), which needs to be dropped when
calling the underlying possibly sleeping if_ioctl() method. When using
a linear array to keep track of multicast memberships, the computed
memory location of the multicast filter may suddenly change, due to
concurrent insertion or removal of elements in the linear array. This
in turn leads to various invalid memory access issues and kernel
panics.
To avoid this problem, put all multicast memberships on a STAILQ based
list. Then the memory location of the IPv4 and IPv6 multicast filters
become fixed during their lifetime and use after free and memory leak
issues are easier to track, for example by: vmstat -m | grep multi
All list manipulation has been factored into inline functions
including some macros, to easily allow for a future hash-list
implementation, if needed.

protections.
A new macro PROT_MAX() alters a protection value so it can be OR'd with
a regular protection value to specify the maximum permissions. If
present, these flags specify the maximum permissions.
While these flags are non-portable, they can be used in portable code
with simple ifdefs to expand PROT_MAX() to 0.
This change allows (e.g.) a region that must be writable during run-time
linking or JIT code generation to be made permanently read+execute after
writes are complete. This complements W^X protections allowing more
precise control by the programmer.
This change alters mprotect argument checking and returns an error when
unhandled protection flags are set. This differs from POSIX (in that
POSIX only specifies an error), but is the documented behavior on Linux
and more closely matches historical mmap behavior.
In addition to explicit setting of the maximum permissions, an
experimental sysctl vm.imply_prot_max causes mmap to assume that the
initial permissions requested should be the maximum when the sysctl is
set to 1. PROT_NONE mappings are excluded from this for compatibility
with rtld and other consumers that use such mappings to reserve
address space before mapping contents into part of the reservation. A
final version this is expected to provide per-binary and per-process
opt-in/out options and this sysctl will go away in its current form.
As such it is undocumented.

Error messages in gai_strerror(3) vary largely among OSs.
For new software we largely replaced the obsoleted EAI_NONAME and
with EAI_NODATA but we never updated the corresponding message to better
match the intended use. We also have references to ai_flags and ai_family
which are not very descriptive for non-developer end users.
Bring new new error messages based on informational RFC 3493, which has
obsoleted RFC 2553, and make them consistent among the header adn

If the last component of the directory name is a symlink followed by a
slash, rmdir now fails, following Linux but not POSIX, even if the
symlink resolves to an existing empty directory.
mkdir was similarly changed in 2009 in commit
52dba6a5c4. Modify a comment to clarify
the purpose of that commit.
Addresses https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-09/msg00221.html.
Prior to commit b0717aae, path_conv::check had the following code:
if (strncmp (path, "\\\\.\\", 4))
{
/* Windows ignores trailing dots and spaces in the last path
component, and ignores exactly one trailing dot in inner
path components. */
char *tail = NULL;
[...]
if (!tail || tail == path)
/* nothing */;
else if (tail[-1] != '\\')
{
*tail = '\0';
[...]
}
Commit b0717aae0 intended to disable this code, but it inadvertently
disabled only part of it. In particular, the declaration of the local
tail variable was in the disabled code, but the following remained:
if (!tail || tail == path)
/* nothing */;
else if (tail[-1] != '\\')
{
*tail = '\0';
[...]
}
[A later commit removed the disabled code.]
The tail variable here points into a string different from path,
causing that string to be truncated under some circumstances. See
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-09/msg00001.html
for more details.
This commit fixes the problem by removing the leftover code
that was intended to be removed in b0717aae.
- The autoload feature is used rather than GetModuleHandle(),
GetProcAddress() for CreatePseudoConsole(), ResizePseudoConsole()
and ClosePseudoConsole().
- Since calling system __loadlocale() caused execution error,
PTY used its own NLS function. The cause of the error has been
found, the corresponding code has been rewritten using system
function.
The CPU_SET macros defined in Cygwin's include/sys/cpuset.h must not
be visible in an application's namespace unless _GNU_SOURCE has been
#defined. Internally this means wrapping them in #if __GNU_VISIBLE.
- In non-canonical mode, cygwin console returned only one character
even if several keys are typed before read() called. This patch
fixes this behaviour.
- Previously, input and output pipes were switched together between
the traditional pty and the pseudo console. However, for example,
if stdin is redirected to another device, it is better to leave
input pipe traditional pty side even for non-cygwin program. This
patch realizes such behaviour.
- If screen alternated while pseudo console switching, it sometimes
failed. This might happen when the output of the non-cygwin program
is piped to less. This patch fixes this issue.
- When the I/O pipe is switched to the pseudo console side, the
behaviour of Ctrl-C was unstable. This rarely happens, however,
for example, shell sometimes crashes by Ctrl-C in that situation.
Furthermore, Ctrl-C was ignored if output of non-cygwin program
is redirected to pipe. This patch fixes these issues.
The FACE Technical Standard, Edition 3.0 and later require the
definition of the subcommand SOCKCLOSE in <devctl.h>.

- Forcibly attach to pseudo console in advance so that the error
messages by system_printf() are displayed to screen reliably.
This is needed when stdout is redirected to another pty. In this
case, process has two ptys opened. However, process can attach
to only one console. So it is necessary to change console attached.
- PTY with pseudo console support sitll has problem which potentially
cause state mismatch between state variable and real console state.
This patch fixes this issue.
- select() did not work correctly when both read and except are
polled simultaneously for the same fd and the r/w pipe is switched
to pseudo console side. This patch fixes this isseu.
- Pseudo console support introduced by commit
169d65a577 shows garbage ^[[H^[[J in
some of emacs screens. These screens do not handle ANSI escape
sequences. Therefore, clear screen is disabled on these screens.
- Pseudo console support introduced by commit
169d65a577 sometimes cause random
crash or freeze by pressing ^C while cygwin and non-cygwin
processes are executed simultaneously in the same pty. This
patch is a workaround for this issue.
- API hook used for pseudo console support causes slow down.
This patch limits API hook to only program which is linked
with the corresponding APIs. Normal cygwin program is not
linked with such APIs (such as WriteFile, etc...) directly,
therefore, no slow down occurs. However, console access by
cygwin.dll itself cannot switch the r/w pipe to pseudo console
side. Therefore, the code to switch it forcely to pseudo
console side is added to smallprint.cc and strace.cc.
- Pseudo console support introduced by commit
169d65a577 has some bugs which
cause mismatch between state variables and real pseudo console
state regarding console attaching and r/w pipe switching. This
patch fixes this issue by redesigning the state management.
- PTY uses Win32 API hook for pseudo console suppot. The function
hook_api() is used for this purpose and defined in fhandler_tty.cc
previously. This patch moves it into hookapi.cc.
Commit 72ff9acad2 caused st_atime,
st_ctime, and st_mtime to be defined as macros. This collided with
use of these identifiers as field names in struct gdb_stat (which
represents the GDB RSP encoding of struct stat) in libgloss
semihosting support for nios2 and m68k. This patch renames the
affected fields of struct gdb_stat.
