- update the linux syscall table for each platform.
- support new-style (NPTL) linux pthreads on all platforms.
clone() with CLONE_THREAD uses 1 process with many LWPs
instead of separate processes.
- move the contents of sys__lwp_setprivate() into a new
lwp_setprivate() and use that everywhere.
- update linux_release[] and linux32_release[] to "2.6.18".
- adjust placement of emul fork/exec/exit hooks as needed
and adjust other emul code to match.
- convert all struct emul definitions to use named initializers.
- change the pid allocator to allow multiple pids to refer to the same proc.
- remove a few fields from struct proc that are no longer needed.
- disable the non-functional "vdso" code in linux32/amd64,
glibc works fine without it.
- fix a race in the futex code where we could miss a wakeup after
a requeue operation.
- redo futex locking to be a little more efficient.
per-page execution right was disabled (therefore leading to the inability
of the kernel to detect fraudulent use of memory mappings marked as not
being executable).
- replace cpu_feature and ci_feature_flags variables by cpu_feature and
ci_feat_val arrays. This makes it cleaner and brings kernel code closer
to the design of cpuctl(8). A warning will be raised for each CPU that
does not expose the same features as the Boot Processor (BP).
- the blacklist of CPU features is now a macro defined in the
specialreg.h header, instead of hardcoding it inside MD initialization
code; fix comments.
- replace checks against CPUID_TSC with the cpu_hascounter() function.
- clean up the code in init_x86_64(), as cpu_feature variables are set
inside cpu_probe().
- use cpu_init_msrs() for i386. It will be eventually used later for NX
feature under i386 PAE kernels.
- remove code that checks for CPUID_NOX in amd64 mptramp.S, this is already
performed by cpu_hatch() through cpu_init_msrs().
- remove cpu_signature and feature_flags members from struct mpbios_proc
(they were never used).
This patch was tested with i386 MONOLITHIC, XEN3PAE_DOM0 and XEN3_DOM0 under
a native i386 host, and amd64 GENERIC, XEN3_DOM0 via QEMU virtual machines.
XXX Should kernel rev be bumped?
XXX A similar patch should be pulled-up for NetBSD-5, hopefully tomorrow.
in a row, and we need to try to read the next block, and have passed a
non-NULL cookie pointer to VOP_READDIR, ensure that we free the cookie
buffer before re-doing VOP_READDIR, so that we don't leak memory.
This fix is similar to nfs_serv.c revisions 1.115 + 1.124.
This should fix the long-standing problem observed by e.g. using Linux-
emulated programs to take backup of servers, which is one of the problems
which were reported in PR#42661.
Thanks to pooka@ for the hints for traversing the VOP* layer.
