With this switch processes (such as xconsole) can open /dev/console
without breaking login on the text or serial console. This can be
trivially triggered by enabling xdm in rc.conf and hitting
Ctrl+Alt+F1 or equivalent once booted.
The changes:
- Add entry for /dev/console or /dev/constty if missing
- If a port's had /dev/console 'on' switch it off and enable /dev/constty
- If a port did not have /dev/console 'on', leave /dev/constty off
Some ports had /dev/console off and /dev/ttyE0 enabled, presumably to
avoid just this issue. It may make sense to adjust these also (but not
in this pass)
As discussed on current-users
"makedev pty0" now. Update vax to match so install media doesn't fail
with
.../MAKEDEV: pty0: creating BSD style tty nodes with ptyfs is a security issue
- Drop KERNFS from INSTALL kernel
- Add dmesg to sysinst ramdisk
- Add 'ramdisk' target to MAKEDEV and use
- Add dhcpcd to sysinst ramdisk
- Drop old install.md script
- Misc install image cleanup (reduce diff to zaurus of all things)
to mixing them in with the ra* disks, modelled loosely on how MSCP
rx* floppies are handled
- racd* defaults to the same single iso9660 partition as cd*
- Cleanup config option handling slightly so any combination of ra*,
rx* (and now raccd*) can be defined without build errors.
- Avoid ugly printf when disks have all zero disklabel magic number
as the console. Now when coming up in single user mode the tset in
/.profile can set the terminal type correctly.
Note: I believe constty should be 'on' and console 'off', but thats a
separate discussion
Since I managed to commit my alternate scheme for zeropad, delete
the commented out lines and replace the only other use.
I've not deleted the function itself though.
* Use "mknod -F netbsd -r" to create nodes, instead of
"rm ; mknod; chmod; chown".
This means permissions & ownership of existing nodes will
not be changed.
This is up to 30% faster when populating an empty /dev,
and nearly 2x faster when re-running on an existing /dev.
* New options:
-f force change of permission & ownership of existing
devices
-m mknod override name/path of mknod program
(which defaults to $TOOL_MKNOD, then "mknod").
-s generate mtree(8) specfile instead of creating devices
* Remove /usr/etc from $PATH; not needed anymore.
* Provide functions to create devices & directories:
mkdev name [b|c] major minor [mode{=600} [gid{=0} [uid{=0}]]]
create device node `name' with the appropriate permissions
lndev src target
create a symlink from src to target
makedir dir mode
create directory with appropriate mode
* UIDs and GIDs are hardcoded in at MAKEDEV generation time.
(Unfortunately there's not a simple way of determining a GID
a la "id -n user" for determining a UID).
This was tested by generating MAKEDEV for each MACHINE,MACHINE_ARCH
combination and comparing the results of "MAKEDEV all" from the
previous version to the new one.
(This testing actually highlighted mistakes in the previous configuration!)
Simplify distrib/common/Makefile.makedev to use "MAKEDEV -s"
at MAXPARTITIONS/OLDMAXPARTITIONS in kernel sources, so that it wouldn't
need to be specified separately in MAKEDEV.conf
change platform MAKEDEV.conf to contain only MD targets and nothing else;
simplify the parsing in MAKEDEV.awk accordingly
this contains information about disk partitions used by platform,
and MD MAKEDEV targets, such as 'init', MD part of 'all',
as well as any other MD-specific targets not covered by MAKEDEV.tmpl
any pipes and running other commands (eg dd).
Measurable speeds up creating pseudo ttys.
(there has to be a better way than editing 51 files! - tedious at only
6 key presses per file)
program/tool from "FOO" to "TOOL_FOO". The new variables are:
TOOL_ASN1_COMPILE TOOL_CAP_MKDB TOOL_CAT TOOL_CKSUM TOOL_COMPILE_ET
TOOL_CONFIG TOOL_CRUNCHGEN TOOL_CTAGS TOOL_DB TOOL_EQN TOOL_FGEN
TOOL_GENCAT TOOL_GROFF TOOL_HEXDUMP TOOL_INDXBIB TOOL_INSTALLBOOT
TOOL_INSTALL_INFO TOOL_M4 TOOL_MAKEFS TOOL_MAKEINFO TOOL_MAKEWHATIS
TOOL_MDSETIMAGE TOOL_MENUC TOOL_MKCSMAPPER TOOL_MKESDB
TOOL_MKLOCALE TOOL_MKMAGIC TOOL_MKTEMP TOOL_MSGC TOOL_MTREE
TOOL_PAX TOOL_PIC TOOL_PREPMKBOOTIMAGE TOOL_PWD_MKDB TOOL_REFER
TOOL_ROFF_ASCII TOOL_ROFF_DVI TOOL_ROFF_HTML TOOL_ROFF_PS
TOOL_ROFF_RAW TOOL_RPCGEN TOOL_SOELIM TOOL_SUNLABEL TOOL_TBL
TOOL_UUDECODE TOOL_VGRIND TOOL_ZIC
For each, provide default in <bsd.sys.mk> of the form:
TOOL_FOO?= foo
and for the ${USETOOLS}=="yes" case in <bsd.own.mk>, provide override:
TOOL_FOO= ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${_TOOL_PREFIX}foo
Document all of these in bsd.README.
This cleans up a chunk of potential (and actual) namespace collision
within our build infrastructure, as well as improves consistency in
the share/mk documentation and provision of appropriate defaults for
each of these variables.
(e.g., massbus->MASSBUS, unibus->UNIBUS, and similar for some device
names.)
Proposed by Igor Sobrado in PR port-vax/21183 -- but he sent in a
patch that he'd obviously cut and pasted from an xterm or something
that similarly destroyed all the tab characters so I had to re-do it
by hand.
- Add ${.CURDIR} to various rules.
- Remove the ${KERNOBJDIR} (sys/arch/${MACHINE}/compile) objdir creation
from here.
- Rework iso-image to copy temporary files (such as kernels or boot files)
into a temporary directory instead of stomping over ${RELEASEDIR}, and
use mkisofs -graft-points to merge the temporary directory and
${RELEASEDIR}/${MACHINE}.
NOTE: mkisofs 2.0 is highly recommended for functioning -graft-points
- Add some more comments
for all platforms.
- remove now unnecessary replicated code in the various snap_md_post targets
- remove snap_md_pre; nothing uses it any more
- use ${NETBSDSRCDIR} and ${KERNSRCDIR} as appropriate
