the issues with the previous tsc change where not related to the tsc
but where problems with timesync using an old frequency file. a
patch to fix timesync was commited, so so we reintroduce the *notsc=
again.
we previously used tsc only on cpu kernel. now that
we use it on terminal kernel too, there might be some
surprises ahead.
so make it possible to disable tsc for machines where
the tsc rate is not kept constant across cores or is
dynamically adjusted by power management.
boot(8) claims that boot will launch /$objtype/init;
that is incorrect. It launches /$cputype/init (so says
both boot.c and cpurc(8)). That's the more sensible
choice. This patch fixes the man page to resolve the
mismatch.
This patch adds client TLS authentication to libsec in compliance with
rfc 4346.
A new -c flag has been introduced for tlsclient allowing the user to
specify a certificate in pem(8) format which will be provided to the
server upon request.
A -D debug flag has been introduced to enable debugging output.
The patch has been tested against OpenSSL 0.9.7j 04 May 2006.
It exists today because of the great (debugging) help and insight
provided by Matthias Bauer.
TODOs:
- specification of a certain client key in factotum is not possible at
the moment
- tlssrv should support this too
These will get added in another patch.
The first try to submit this patch failed due to a network error.
Sorry for the duplication!
Kind regards,

allow the shadow framebuffer (softscreen) to be used with any
vga driver, not just vesa. this removes the ugly scr->paddr = 0
hack employed by vesa driver to force softscreen and adds a
softscreen vgactl message that can switch the feature on and off
at runtime.
softscreen can greatly improve graphics performance when bus
reads are slow even tho it disables hardware acceleration.
