Async I/O OS specifities should now handled in OS specific code. Linux
has been done, but other emulation should be handled. See case LINUX_F_SETFL
in sys/compat/linux/common/linux_file.c:linux_sys_fcntl() for more details.
The data that has been collected yet:
Net Free Open Linux SunOS AIX OSF1 Darwin
send SIGIO to write end of pipe Y N N N N N Y Y
send SIGIO to read end of pipe Y Y N N N ? Y ?
send SIGIO to write end of socket Y Y Y N N Y Y Y
send SIGIO to read end of socket Y Y Y Y Y ? Y ?
* __HAVE_SYSCALL_INTERN. If this is defined, e_syscall is replaced by
e_syscall_intern, which is called at key places in the kernel. This can be
used to set a MD syscall handler pointer. This obsoletes and replaces the
*_HAS_SEPARATED_SYSCALL flags.
* __HAVE_MINIMAL_EMUL. If this is defined, certain (deprecated) elements in
struct emul are omitted.
*_emul_path variables
change macros CHECK_ALT_{CREAT|EXIST} to use that, 'root' doesn't need
to be passed explicitly any more and *_CHECK_ALT_{CREAT|EXIST} are removed
change explicit emul_find() calls in probe functions to get the emulation
path from the checked exec switch entry's emulation
remove no longer needed header files
add e_flags and e_syscall to struct emul; these are unsed and empty for now
* move all exec-type specific information from struct emul to execsw[] and
provide single struct emul per emulation
* elf:
- kern/exec_elf32.c:probe_funcs[] is gone, execsw[] how has one entry
per emulation and contains pointer to respective probe function
- interp is allocated via MALLOC() rather than on stack
- elf_args structure is allocated via MALLOC() rather than malloc()
* ecoff: the per-emulation hooks moved from alpha and mips specific code
to OSF1 and Ultrix compat code as appropriate, execsw[] has one entry per
emulation supporting ecoff with appropriate probe function
* the makecmds/probe functions don't set emulation, pointer to emulation is
part of appropriate execsw[] entry
* constify couple of structures
rather than just "value / sizeof (char *)". While in these cases the latter
works as well, the former's a better example for other uses to copy (since
it handles the non-integral multiple case correctly).
Added new emulation structure, emul_ibcs2_xout, for XENIX.
Modified some syscalls to differentiate between XENIX and UNIX.
Fixed major bug in semaphore structure emulation size and conversion.
Check and cleanup copyin/copyout usage.
Add xenix_sys_locking patches from Andreas Wrede <andreas@planix.com>.
added support for ELF binaries
added support for ELF shared libs via mmap code borrowed from svr4_misc.c
incorporated a few XENIX patches from Andreas Wrede <andreas@planix.com>
