 What was the resolution with the patent issues and whatnot?
 
 The lawsuit was withdrawn after it became obvious that the 
 plaintiffs had no valid case.  The EFF got involved with the 
 defence, and here's their collection of links to relevant 
 documents:  https://www.eff.org/cases/astrolabe-v-olson.

And there were never any patent issues.  It was a bad copyright case.

Change CTASSERT to __CTASSERT (the spelling used in sys/cdefs.h),
include sys/cdefs.h so that it will be defined,
and move it to a better place.

The previous CTASSERT would never have been used because
of the ifdef.  If it had been used, it would have had
unwanted effects from being just after the static inline
that appears when BZERO is defined.

Also move the __RCSID to a more conventional location.


And what was the resolution with all this? (cf. useless changes?).


Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.


Please change the documentation too (and most of all, !).


It seems taht CTASSERT is defined in libkern.h, so is available to
kernel code.  I'll fix the documentation.

__CTASSERT is available everywhere

 Log Message:
 Fix the root cause of the hack disable optimizations for uvm_bio.c
 on 32 bit kernels.
 
 gcc converts a division in the calculation of UBC_UMAP_ADDR macro
 to multiplication (smul or combination of add/sll), and the
 register of its result contains a garbage in upper 32 bits (the
 upper 32 bits of smul/add/sll's result isn't zero cleared).
 
 Then it passes to pseg_get{,_real} through pmap_extract without the
 zero clear of upper 32 bits in the optimization case.  So the
 result of pseg_get and pmap_extact sometimes gets screwed up.

Oh, good catch!

Thanks for fixing this one.

Best,
Al
