automatic Referer headers were found to break downloads from
sourceforge.net, causing html pages to appear instead of tarballs.
if a website does need them, they can be added as needed via hget's -r

Once a second rebalance() is called on cpu0 to adjust priorities,
so cpu-bound processes won't lock others out. However it was only
adjusting processes which were running on cpu0. This was observed
to lead to livelock, eg when a higher-priority process spin-waits
for a lock held by a lower priority one.
syntax: reboot!bootfile[!method...]
this echos bootfile to /dev/reboot, causing bootfile kernel
to be started.
when method is given, we first connect to the filesystem and
set bootargs so that bootfile can be loaded from the target
network or local fileserver.
note, when no bootfile is given, this causes the kernel to
reboot to bios.
the end condition port < offset+n could never become
false when offset truncated to 32 bit signed port is
negative. change the condition variables to unsigned
int.
msr's are not byte addressible, so advance reads by
one instead of 8.
Xpipefd wants the pipe descriptor to be closed in turfredir(), so
it pushes the redirection, but this breaks Xpopredir after normal
redirection. so we shuffle the Xpipefd redir to the bottom of the
stack.

little amendments:
- fix line selection (point min/max inversion)
- clear selection when switching linesel/blocksel
- move selection on scroll
the arp table is per interface, so it is possible to have the same
netwrok on multiple physical interfaces, tho with different source
ip address. one example would be a ethernet and a wlan interface.
the mac addresses on these mediums can differ (arp proxying taking
place).
so provide our source address on the interface we received the
request on.
the previous change used the ifcaddr; which is correct; but due to a
oversight in the kernel, had to match the ip of the arp entry.
source address will always work.
unless relay agent (gaddr) is specified, dhcp requests need to
taget a local ip address on the incoming interface or broadcast.
clients might have multiple ethernet interfaces, so we need to
check if any of the ether= attributes in ndb matches. this is
done by passing lookupip() the attribute name and a expected
value and if a match is found, set Info.indb = 1.
remove tohex(), use encodefmt instead. avoid dynamcic allocation.
include interface device in log messages.
sending multicast was broken when ipconfig assigned the 0
address for dhcp as they would wrongly classified as Runi.
this could happen when we do slaac and dhcp in parallel,
breaking the sending of router solicitations.
now handle the supported rates element properly, only
providing the intersecting set of rates that the bss
advertises and what the driver supports, putting the
basic rates first.
also avoid using usupported rates.

nobody passes us the "RSD PTR " address when doing multiboot/kexec
on UEFI systems. so we search for it manually in the ACPI reserved
area as indicated in the e820 memory map.

"I sometimes find myself on either slow or data-capped network links where downloading images isn't ideal. Attached is a simple patch to mothra that changes the 'k' command to not only remove already-downloaded images from a page, but also toggle a state such that mothra won't attempt to download images on future visited sites until 'k' is toggled again. This also adds a '-k' flag to mothra which enables the flag at startup." --Jeremy O'Brien<neutral@fastmail.com> on 9fans
the target has to be encoded as a domain name (the individual
name components as separate labels followed by . (empty) label),
not as a literal string.

we did not apply the special case to store 0xFFFF (-0)
in the checksum field when the checksum calculation
returned zero. we survived this for v4 as RFC768 states:

for ipv6 however, the checksum is not optional and receivers
would drop packets with a zero checksum.
during dhcp, ipconfig assigns the null address :: which makes
ipforme() return Runi for any destination, which can trigger
arp resolution when we attempt to reply. so have v4local()
skip the null address and have sendarp() check the return
status of v4local(), avoing the spurious arp requests.
closeconv() calls ipifcremmulti() like:
while((mp = cv->multi) != nil)
ipifcremmulti(cv, mp->ma, mp->ia);
so we have to defer freeing the entry after doing:
if((lifc = iplocalonifc(ifc, ia)) != nil)
remselfcache(f, ifc, lifc, ma);
which accesses the otherwise free'd ia and ma arguments.
on HZ 100 systems like pc and pc64, the minium sleep time
was 10ms, which is quite high. the cap isnt really needed
as arch specific timerset() enforces its own limit, but on
a higher resolution.
background:
from Charles Forsyth:
I haven't really got an opinion on it. The 10ms interval was first used on
machines that were much slower.
I thought someone did set HZ to a bigger value, partly to support better
in-kernel timing. I haven't done it because I never had a need for it.
If I were doing (say) protocol implementation in user mode, I'd certainly
reconsider. Sleep itself forces at best ms granularity,
and for some applications that's too big.

devdir internally replicates the qid in ther perm stat field
already and the practice of explicitely passing just causing
confusion when done inconsistently.
avoid returning ip addresses that cannot be reached due
to lack of a compatible ip address. this means when here
is no ipv4 address configured, we wont return ipv4 addresses
and would not query dns for an A record.
likewise, when here is no ipv6 address configured then
we wont query dns for an AAAA record.
ipv6 lookups can still be disabled with the -4 flag just
as before.
this makes virtual "memdisk" from SYSLINUX accessible to
the kernel, allowing the iso to be loaded via TFTP and
started without any ethernet or disk drivers available.
this driver makes regions of physical memory accessible as a disk.
to use it, ramdiskinit() has to be called before confinit(), so
that conf.mem[] banks can be reserved. currently, only pc and pc64
kernel use it, but otherwise the implementation is portable.
ramdisks are not zeroed when allocated, so that the contents are
preserved across warm reboots.
to not waste memory, physical segments do not allocate Page structures
or populate the segment pte's anymore. theres also a new SG_CHACHED
attribute.
fpurestore() unconditionally changed fpstate to FPinactive when
the kernel used the FPU. but in the FPinit case, the registers are
not saved by mathemu(), resulting in all zero initialized registers
being loaded once userspace uses the FPU so the process would have
wrong MXCR value.
the index overflow check was wrong with using shifted value.
