emul.darwin.init.pid instead of emul.darwin.init_pid, and so on.
This breaks backward compatibility with the pre-dynamic sysctl(8) for
emul.darwin, but it has never been available in a formal release, so
it should be alright.
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
for forking the traditional UNIX init(8) and it does the Mach port naming
service. We need mach_init for the naming service, but unfortunately, it
will only act as such if its PID is 1. We introduce a sysctl
(emul.darwin.init_pid) to fool a given process into thinking its PID is 1.
That way we can get mach_init into behaving as the name server.
Typical use:
/sbin/sysctl -w emul.darwin.init_pid=$$ ; exec /emul/darwin/sbin/mach_init
compat/common, so that they can be shared by several emulations, and use
them for Darwin.
This removes the ugly dependance on FreeBSD freebsd_file.c for COMPAT_DARWIN
