Because the Mach system call dispatching code has grown a bit
too much, introduce an inline function to handle it (mach_syscall_dispatch).
While we are there, remove the Mach and Linux includes from
arch/powerpc/powerpc/syscall.c and push them into
arch/powerpc/powerpc/{mach|linux}_syscall.c
- The MD netbsd32_machdep.h header now defines the 32-bit pointer type
instead of using u_int32_t everywhere,
- The MD netbsd32_machdep.h header now defines a macro (at least on
current implementations) which converts a 32-bit pointer to its 64-bit
equivalent,
- Change the MI code to utilise the above two items in all the right places,
- Implement netbsd32___sigaction_sigtramp().
Tested on Sparc64 by Matt Green.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
private to the process within the share group.
There is one bit missing in this implementation: when replicating a change
in a process VM to the other process of the share group, we avoid copying
mappings for private regions in the target process, but we don't prevent
copying private regions from the source process.
it actually fixes a problem:
When /bin/sh gets a SIGSEGV, its signal handler calls brk and the offending
instruction is retried. Usually it gets another SIGSEGV, and things loops
until it pases without the SIGSEGV. This is the normal mode of operation, and
it can be reproduced on IRIX by a 10kB shell script starting by echo /*
However... the signal handler checks for BADVADDR in the saved registers
in struct sigcontext. If it does not find it, it gives up and exit instead
of retrying. Filling the field enables us to carry on normal operation
(which is to get dozens of SIGSEGV) instead of getting a failure at the
first SIGSEGV.
there's an error. Store the result of this function in a signed
variable instead of an unsigned variable before checking if the return
value is greater than zero.
