Hopefully I didn't make too much of a hash of the postinstall support for
this; it currently installs the file if there's none in the destination,
and elsewise notes if the CVS version differs (or is missing) but doesn't
try to fix that.
standard. This change inspired by Apple's "Secure Empty Trash" functionality
in MacOS 10.3. However, it is important to understand that this change
does not -- and can not -- actually achieve conformance to the current
revision of the standard. To quote the manual page:
The -P option attempts to conform to U.S. DoD 5220-22.M, "National Indus-
trial Security Program Operating Manual" ("NISPOM") as updated by Change
2 and the July 23, 2003 "Clearing & Sanitization Matrix". However,
unlike earlier revisions of NISPOM, the 2003 matrix imposes requirements
which make it clear that the standard does not and can not apply to the
erasure of individual files, in particular requirements relating to spare
sector management for an entire magnetic disk. Because these
requirements are not met, the -P option does not conform to the standard.
This also makes the -P option a *lot* more expensive than it used to be.
It used to overwrite with 0xff, overwrite with 0x00, overwrite with 0xff,
with an fsync after each write. Now it overwrites with a random character,
overwrites with 0xff, overwrites with 0x00, reads to validate the 0x00
overwrite, then overwrites with random data -- calling sync() after every
operation in an attempt to force seeks that will clear the data from the
cache of disks that lie about whether data has been committed to the
platters. Also, the file's opened with O_SYNC|O_RSYNC to cause metadata
updates on every read/write, which should cause still more seeks.
This is better than it used to be, but it's by no means adequate if you
have data you really don't want read by an adversary who can pull the
disk apart.
8-bit VIDC audio. Both Richard Earnshaw and I had guessed that a set
bit was positive (the same as normal mu-law), but the AudioWorks
manual, and Sound_SoundLog on RISC OS, seem to disagree. Change
MULAW_TO_VIDC to match Sound_SoundLog, since the latter is probably
definitive.
suspending.
Move vfs_write_suspend() and vfs_write_resume() from kern/vfs_vnops.c
to kern/vfs_subr.c.
Change vnode write gating in ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c (from FreeBSD).
When vnodes are throttled in softdep_trackbufs() check for
file system suspension every 10 msecs to avoid a deadlock.
Collapse the related variables down to zero. That means 'flags' is 0
as well. Nuke the extraction macros, a bunch of the variables, and replace
'flags' as well.
its own copy of GetTimeInMillis().
+ This allows us to get rid of multiple versions of GetTimeInMillis().
It is provided by libos.a if DDXTIME is undefined.
XXX macppc may be a special case since it builds both XFree86 and Xmacppc
will resolve later if found to be an issue.
it can be used to clear the work queue.
Cleanup ffs_sync() which did not synchronously wait when MNT_WAIT
was specified. Clear the work queue when MNT_WAIT is specified.
Result is a clean on-disk file system after ffs_sync(.., MNT_WAIT, ..)
From FreeBSD.
when the link condition changes by returning.
Note that hostap mode still does not work in atw, and ADMtek has
told me that the hardware will not support it, but I remain hopeful.
