* __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.
passed it down to the appropriate usrreq function, and this
allows usage for contexts that need to be explicitly different
from curproc (like in the NFS code when binding to a reserved port).
defined, call addupc_intr() directly from statclock() in the system time case,
using the same P_OWEUPC path if the copyin/copyout fails.
Use this in i386 to remove profiling code from the normal userret() path.
* Make the syscallnames[] table const.
* Add a separator between the #include section and the syscalls section, so
that #if/#else/#endif can be handled differently in the two.
* Add support for rounding up the size of the sysent table.
constructed objects in the pool allocator, similar to caching
of constructed objects in the Solaris SLAB allocator.
This implementation is a separate API (pool_cache_*()) layered
on top of pools to keep the caching complexity out of the way
of pools that won't benefit from it.
While we're here, allow pool items to be as large as the pool
page size.
*_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
there are direct use of MFREE() from sys/kern.
(we experienced no memory leak so far, but if we use m_aux for other purposes,
we will need this change)
and adding it to allproc) after it's fully initialized.
this prevents the scheduler from coming in via a clock interrupt
and tripping over a partially-initialized proc.
emulation-specific data
add process exit, exec and fork function hooks into struct emul:
* e_proc_fork() - called in fork1() after the new forked process is setup
* e_proc_exec() - called in sys_execve() after the executed process is setup
* e_proc_exit() - called in exit1() after all the other process cleanups are
done, right before machine-dependant switch to new context; also called
for "old" emulation from sys_execve() if emulation of executed program and
the original process is different
This was discussed on tech-kern.
setgroups() did not result in actual changes. This has the nice
side effect that we don't needlesly allocate new credential and
resource limit data structures.
This is so that non setuid programs that call seteuid(getuid()),
don't end up setting P_SUGID, resulting in broken behavior [i.e.
non setuid ssh, doesn't read ~/.hostaliases...].
This is a good candidate for a pullup, if someone reviews it.
`struct vmspace' has a new field `vm_minsaddr' which is the user TOS.
PS_STRINGS is deprecated in favor of curproc->p_pstr which is derived
from `vm_minsaddr'.
Bump the kernel version number.
file to write out. If both are 0, the whole file is synced. A filesystem
that is not able to sync out a range of a file may elect to sync
the whole file anyway.
of the vnode ops, and if LKM support is included in the kernel,
always include the non-inline stubs regardless of whether or not
they're being used in the static kernel iamge.
routine. Works similarly fto pmap_prefer(), but allows callers
to specify a minimum power-of-two alignment of the region.
How we ever got along without this for so long is beyond me.
make all local variables static
use simplelocks - we really need only mutexes, full locks are not necessary
update couple of comments to be more accurate
add function pty_maxptys(), which provides a safe way to get&set maxptys - this
also supports setting maxptys to lower than current value, if the
value is lower or equal current number of ptys
to support arbitrary number of ptys without need of kernel recompile
(the extra device special files in /dev/ still need to be created, of course)
upper limit of supported ptys is controlled via new sysctl variable
kern.maxptys (KERN_MAXPTYS), which is raise-only and defaults to 512.
in SSTOP state, execpt P_SYSTEM and curproc processes. We have to way to
find the original state of the process so we can't restart scheduling,
so this can only be used at shutdown time.
XXX suspendsched() should also deal with processes running on other CPUs.
I don't know how to do that, and as long as we have a kernel big lock,
this shouldn't be a problem.
tsleep() instead of DELAY. Also, keep trying flushing buffers when the
number of dirty buffers decreases (20 rounds may not be enouth for a
very large buffer cache).
Using tsleep instead of delay gives a chance to others kernel threads to run,
which is needed for raidframe. With this change I've not been able to
reproduce the 'dirty buffer not flushed' problem with raidframe.
with the following modifications to the initial patch:
- rename SHOLD and P_HOST to SSUSPEND and P_SUSPEND to avoid confusion with
PHOLD()
- don't deal with SSUSPEND/P_SUSPEND in fork1(), if we come here while
scheduler is suspended we're forking proc0, which can't have P_SUSPEND set.
sched_suspend() suspends the scheduling of users process, by removing all
processes from the run queues and changing their state from SRUN to
SSUSPEND. Also mark all user process but curproc P_SUSPEND.
When a process has to be put in SRUN and is marked P_SUSPEND, it's placed in
the SSUSPEND state instead.
sched_resume() places all SSUSPEND processes back in SRUN, clear the P_SUSPEND
flag.
to update it, so don't bother with <machine/atomic.h>
Flush kernel_lock_release_all() and kernel_lock_acquire_count() (which
didn't do spinlock accounting correctly), and replace them with
spinlock_release_all() and spinlock_acquire_count().
- Periodically invoke roundrobin() from hardclock() on all cpu's rather
than from a timer callout; this allows time-slicing on non-primary cpu's.
- Make pscnt per-cpu.
- Notice psdiv changes on each cpu, and adjust pscnt at that point.
Also, invoke setstatclockrate() from the clock interrupt when each cpu
notices the divisor change, rather than when starting/stopping the
profiling clock.
- In simple_lock_switchcheck(), allow/enforce exactly one lock to be
held: sched_lock.
- Per e-mail to tech-smp from Bill Sommerfeld, r/w spin locks have
an interlock at splsched(), rather than splhigh().
