limits (often way too high) and skipping the test case if in doubt,
raise the limits as far as we can, and fix a few places in the test where
we could run into the limits and either skip or fail with a reasonable
message.
depend on new devname_r(3) as heart. Add /dev/pts magic directly to
devname(3). While it can lead to returning non-existing paths, the
behavior is more consistent that way. Drop caching layer in devname(3),
it doesn't buy anything for the common case of having access to the
database. Teach devname(3) proper fallback behavior of scanning /dev.
Create both old-style and new-style database for now in /etc/rc.d/sysdb.
assertion failure (and thus a crash in DIAGNOSTIC kernels). Independently
discovered by YAMAMOTO Takashi and Joel Sing.
To avoid this, introduce a cpu_mcontext_validate() function and move all
sanity checks from cpu_setmcontext() there. Also untangle the netbsd32
compat mess slightly and add a cpu_mcontext32_validate() cousin there.
Add an exhaustive atf test case, based partly on code from Joel Sing.
Should finally fix the remaining open part of PR kern/43903.
unaligned data address causing the fault - this will always fail.
If anybody knows a portable way to get the data address involved in the
fault, please fix the test case as originally intended.
That one is tedious to test under x86: alignment exceptions are
not reported by this architecture unless you ask for them explicitely (by
setting the PSL_AC bit). The brokenness does not end there: %cr2 should
contain the address where the unaligned access occured, alas, it does not.
I am not aware of other architectures where this could happen. Still, my
knowledge is limited; if there is one, feel free to send me a mail and I
will update the test accordingly.
Adding insult to injury, this test can fail in various funny ways with VMs:
- under x86 QEMU, no trap() happens. As ring 3 code stays almost untouched by
QEMU VMM, I suppose the exception can only be triggered when the host
itself is capable of catching unaligned accesses.
- under Virtual Box with HVM support, i386 works fine, but amd64 fails with a
SIGILL (Illegal instruction) that happens right before entering the
signal handler. No idea why, and trying to debug it with gdb freezes the VM
(including ddb breaks).
Anyway, tested with:
- i386: P4 host, anita, Virtual Box HVM (Mac OS X)
- amd64: anita, Virtual Box HVM (Mac OS X)
XXX I would appreciate if someone could test it under a real amd64 host with
an up-to-date kernel, so I can reasonably assume that the culprit is
Virtual Box and not our amd64 port (my test machine being off line
I cannot do it myself). Results from other arches would be a plus too.
Initial issue reported by Nicolas Joly on port-amd64. Thanks!
