correct alignment/padding rules.
Removed the now-unnecessary #pragma packed for amd64.
Should fix the alignment of 'struct netbsd32_kevent' on non-amd64.
- Do reference counting for 'struct mount'. Each vnode associated with a
mount takes a reference, and in turn the mount takes a reference to the
vfsops.
- Now that mounts are reference counted, replace the overcomplicated mount
locking inherited from 4.4BSD with a recursable rwlock.
in a manner that is endianness independant.
Should mean the amd64 will return correct offsets > 2^32 (sparc64 had a
special define).
Any new netbsd32 ports should work regardless of the endianness.
an 'ssize_t' or 'long' variable to 'register_t'.
If the sizes were different it would either overwrite stack or return
uninitialised stack. On big-endian systems things would be worse!
- Lock processes, credentials, filehead etc correctly.
- Acquire a read hold on sysctl_treelock if only doing a query.
- Don't wire down the output buffer. It doesn't work correctly and the code
regularly does long term sleeps with it held - it's not worth it.
- Don't hold locks other than sysctl_lock while doing copyout().
- Drop sysctl_lock while doing copyout / allocating memory in a few places.
- Don't take kernel_lock for sysctl.
- Fix a number of bugs spotted along the way
Attempt to fix all the code paths so that the 'fp' returned by fd_getfile()
isn't left locked, and is always unlocked (and ref-counted) before
doing anything that might sleep.
int foo(struct lwp *l, void *v, register_t *retval)
to:
int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.
"Remove cn_lwp from struct componentname. curlwp should be used
from on. The NDINIT() macro no longer takes the lwp parameter and
associates the credentials of the calling thread with the namei
structure." from pooka.
Should fix PR/36939 and make the rlimit code MP safe.
Posted for comment to tech-kern (non received!)
The p_limit field (for a process) is only be changed once (on the first
write), and a reference to the old structure is kept (for code paths
that have cached the pointer).
Only p->p_limit is now locked by p->p_mutex, and since the referenced memory
will not go away, is only needed if the pointer is to be changed.
The contents of 'struct plimit' are all locked by pl_mutex, except that the
code doesn't bother to acquire it for reads (which are basically atomic).
Add FORK_SHARELIMIT that causes fork1() to share the limits between parent
and child, use it for the IRIX_PR_SULIMIT.
Fix borked test for both IRIX_PR_SUMASK and IRIX_PR_SDIR being set.
of the corresponding 32bit architecture.
Use it for the 64bit items in netbsd32_statvfs so that the structure
doesn't collect 8byte alignment (and 4 bytes of trailing padding).
This replaces the 'packed' attribute which wasn't architecture specific
and would cause massive overheads accessing every member of sparc64.
Should allow the MIPS64 port do DTRT.
