and sysinst may learn to write it (since, on some systems, most of
the keyboard input they ever get happens to be during install). Fix a
couple of minor problems with the random_seed rc script addition.
at system shutdown. Disable with random_seed=NO in rc.conf if desired.
Goes to some trouble to never load or save to network filesystems.
Entropy should really be loaded by the boot loader but I am still
sorting out how to pass it to the kernel.
is arguably equivalent to breaking.)
Per the discussion on tech-userlevel, document the settings offered.
(All of this needs quite a bit more work still.)

- remove all aliases

a few where foo*) changes to foo|foo[0-9]*) or some other slightly
more complex pattern.
This should prevent "MAKEDEV foobar0" from accidentally matching
the foo* pattern when it should really give an error, and it
should make the order of the patterns less critical.
This fixes a problem in which NetBSD.dist.tmp had been created in
the SRCDIR by an earlier build (performed without an OBJDIR), and
the existence of the file in the SRCDIR confused a subsequent build
(performed with an OBJDIR).
listens on drvctl for new devices and invokes MAKEDEV for them.
missing:
- manual page
- rc.d script
- more testing
but it works well enough to make new disk nodes appear in /dev when
netbsd sees them and they're missing. you will need to make sure
you have a new /dev/MAKEDEV for this to work properly (postinstall
should handle this normally, of course.)
thanks jared!
files, they are appended to the end of etc/defaults/rc.conf.
So rename them to rc.conf.append for clarity, as suggested by mrg@. Adapt
Makefile accordingly.
rc.conf file. This one should reside under etc/etc.${MACHINE}/, and will
get automatically appended to etc/defaults/rc.conf at build time if present.
This is used by i386 and amd64 to append a small MD rc.conf(5) configuration
at the end of the defaults/rc.conf file, so that powerd(8) can be started
by default when we are running in a Xen environment. This is needed to support
save/restore functions for domains.
From all the alternatives proposed to fix that issue (from /etc/rc.conf
parsing in postinstall to etc/defaults/rc.conf arch-hooks) I believe
this one will appease everyone because it:
- does not touch etc/defaults/rc.conf template file,
- patches it at build time for MD hooks only when required,
- does not need to parse/modify a user-specified file like /etc/rc.conf (which
is a complex, error-prone operation),
- only enables powerd(8) by default when conditions are met (Xen environment)
while still allowing root to shoot himself in the foot if he wants to
override this manually in /etc/rc.conf.

route6d is in /usr/sbin, and thus on systems with separate / and /usr,
/etc/rc.d/route6d can be run before /usr is mounted, resulting in
route6d mysteriously failing to start.
by /etc/rc. Similarly for printf with a format that does not end with
"\n". Previously, the partial line would not be visible on the console
until a newline was printed, possibly after an annoying delay.
This is done by adding echo() and printf() shell functions to rc.subr,
so that naive use of the echo and printf commands in rc.d scripts will
call these functions instead of the underlying commands. These shell
functions send a new "nop" metadata message after the partial line, and
the rc_postprocess function in /etc/rc disentangles the partial line of
plain output from the metadata "nop".
Also add a "-n" option to the print_rc_normal function in rc.subr,
and make some cosmetic changes.
we migrate to Kyua (atf v2), so it's better to use a generic name that does
not depend on the specific implementation. Also, this user has not gone
out yet into any stable release, so we can easily rename it.

Even after almost a lost decade since NetBSD/luna68k was
switched to using ELF format by default back in 2001,
actually only one fix (bus.h) is required for a GENERIC kernel itself
to get multiuser login: prompt on a real hardware. Hurrahhh!!!
Demonstrated with a working Xorg mono server on the NetBSD booth
at Open Source Conference 2011 Kansai @ Kyoto:
http://www.ospn.jp/osc2011-kyoto/
"Very impressed," commented by Tomoko YOSHIDA,
Program Committee Chair of the Conference,
and some other OMRON guys.
Special Thanks to Tadashi Okamura, for providing
a working SX-9100/DT "LUNA" for this mission.
Changes details:
sys/arch/luna68k/include/bus.h
- handle stride properly even on multi and region ops for MI spc(4)
- also fix stride handling of (currently unused) 2 and 4 byte ops
sys/arch/luna68k/conf/Makefile.luna68k
sys/arch/luna68k/conf/kern.ldscript.head
sys/arch/luna68k/conf/kern.ldscript.tail
- build a faked a.out kernel using elf2aout(8) tool
and a linker script derived from cats and shark
for the LUNA firmware that loads a.out binary directly
via network or from a UNIOS partition on a local disk
sys/arch/luna68k/dev/omrasops.c
sys/arch/luna68k/dev/omron_rfont.h
- use the original OMRON font derived from 4.4BSD-Lite/luna68k
rather than gallant19 which is used on Sun workstations
(XXX omrasops.c should be rewritten to use generic wsfont(4))
distrib/luna68k/*
distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/luna68k/*
etc/etc.luna68k/MAKEDEV.conf
etc/etc.luna68k/Makefile.inc
sys/arch/luna68k/conf/INSTALL
- build a ramdisk based INSTALL kernel with sysinst(8) for luna68k
- also build an installation iso image for luna68k
sys/arch/luna68k/conf/GENERIC
- enable SYSVSHM (and other SYSV*) options for Xorg server
More Xorg changes (which need some more cleanup) and
isiboot.c fixes will come soon.
in a simpler manner. This replaces btattach, btconfig, bthcid, btdevctl
and sdpd scripts, and also should not require any configuration settings
other than "bluetooth=YES", though the full range of configurations is
still possible.
parse quota plists; as well as a getfsquota() function to retrieve quotas
for a single id from a single filesystem (whatever filesystem this is:
a local quota-enabled fs or NFS). This is build on functions getufsquota()
(for local filesystems with UFS-like quotas) and getnfsquota();
which are also available to userland programs.
move functions from quota2_subr.c to libquota or libprop as appropriate,
and ajust in-tree quota tools.
move some declarations from kernel headers to either sys/quota.h or
quota/quota.h as appropriate. ufs/ufs/quota.h still installed because
it's needed by other installed ufs headers.
ufs/ufs/quota1.h still installed as a quick&dirty way to get a code
using the old quotactl() to compile (just include ufs/ufs/quota1.h instead of
ufs/ufs/quota.h - old code won't compile without this change and this is
on purpose).
Discussed on tech-kern@ and tech-net@ (long thread, but not much about
libquota itself ...)
_rtld_tls_allocate and _rtld_tls_free. libpthread uses this functions to
setup the thread private area of all new threads. ld.elf_so is
responsible for setting up the private area for the initial thread.
Similar functions are called from _libc_init for static binaries, using
dl_iterate_phdr to access the ELF Program Header.
Add test cases to exercise the different TLS storage models. Test cases
are compiled and installed on all platforms, but are skipped on
platforms not marked for TLS support.
This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.
It is inspired by the TLS support in FreeBSD by Doug Rabson and the
clean ups of the DragonFly port of the original FreeBSD modifications.
to store disk quota usage and limits, integrated with ffs
metadata. Usage is checked by fsck_ffs (no more quotacheck)
and is covered by the WAPBL journal. Enabled with kernel
option QUOTA2 (added where QUOTA was enabled in kernel config files),
turned on with tunefs(8) on a per-filesystem
basis. mount_mfs(8) can also turn quotas on.

of Szeged, Hungary.
The commit includes:
- Flash layer, which gives a common API to access flash devices
- NAND controller subsystem for the flash layer
- An example OMAP driver which is used on BeagleBoard or alike ARM boards
Reasons being:
- INSTALL is GENERIC with an embedded ramdisk, and as such, can benefit from
features included within.
- INSTALL_FLOPPY has its own config(5) file, and is tailored for "small"
floppy images; it misses features/drivers that could be needed to boot
in a decent environment for recent x86 machines (like ACPI)
- makes it closer to floppies distrib available for amd64
While here, comment out INSTALL_FLOPPY and bootfloppy-big image build. NetBSD
does not use the 3.6MiB image for El Torito cdroms anymore.
Remove the FLOPPYMAX limit; i386 needs 4 floppies now. Modify boot.cfg and
release/contents to reflect reality.
