means that the dynamic linker gets mapped in at the top of available
user virtual memory (typically just below the stack), shared libraries
get mapped downwards from that point, and calls to mmap() that don't
specify a preferred address will get mapped in below those.
This means that the heap and the mmap()ed allocations will grow
towards each other, allowing one or the other to grow larger than
before. Previously, the heap was limited to MAXDSIZ by the placement
of the dynamic linker (and the process's rlimits) and the space
available to mmap was hobbled by this reservation.
This is currently only enabled via an *option* for the i386 platform
(though other platforms are expected to follow). Add "options
USE_TOPDOWN_VM" to your kernel config file, rerun config, and rebuild
your kernel to take advantage of this.
Note that the pmap_prefer() interface has not yet been modified to
play nicely with this, so those platforms require a bit more work
(most notably the sparc) before they can use this new memory
arrangement.
This change also introduces a VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS() macro that picks
the appropriate default address based on the size of the allocation or
the size of the process's text segment accordingly. Several drivers
and the SYSV SHM address assignment were changed to use this instead
of each one picking their own "default".
cd ${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile && ${PRINTOBJDIR}
This is far simpler than the previous system, and more robust with
objdirs built via BSDOBJDIR.
The previous method of finding KERNOBJDIR when using BSDOBJDIR by
referencing _SRC_TOP_OBJ_ from another directory was extremely
fragile due to the depth first tree walk by <bsd.subdir.mk>, and
the caching of _SRC_TOP_OBJ_ (with MAKEOVERRIDES) which would be
empty on the *first* pass to create fresh objdirs.
This change requires adding sys/arch/*/compile/Makefile to create
the objdir in that directory, and descending into arch/*/compile
from arch/*/Makefile. Remove the now-unnecessary .keep_me files
whilst here.
Per lengthy discussion with Andrew Brown.
- disk_unbusy() gets a new parameter to tell the IO direction.
- struct disk_sysctl gets 4 new members for read/write bytes/transfers.
when processing hw.diskstats, add the read&write bytes/transfers for
the old combined stats to attempt to keep backwards compatibility.
unfortunately, due to multiple bugs, this will cause new kernels and old
vmstat/iostat/systat programs to fail. however, the next time this is
change it will not fail again.
this is just the kernel portion.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
clean up some other stuff along the way, including:
- use m68k/cacheops.*, remove duplicates from cpu.h.
- centralize a few declarations in (all the copies of) cpu.h.
- define M68K_VAC on platforms which have a VAC.
- switch the sun platforms to the (now common) proc_trampoline().
- do the phys_map thang on the sun platforms too, no reason not to.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
be properly used by any misc. cloning device. While here, correct
a comment to indicate that "open" is the only entry point and that
everything else is handled with fileops.
- Switch all m68k-based ports over to __HAVE_SYSCALL_INTERN.
- Add systrace glue.
- Define struct mdproc in <m68k/proc.h> instead of <machine/proc.h>.
(They were all defined exactly the same anyway, other than a couple
of the MDP_* flags.)
MALLOC_NOINLINE, and VNODE_OP_NOINLINE. The exceptions are when they
include another config files that already defines the options, or if
they are for an embedded board, just define a few extra options, and
do not already define PIPE_SOCKETPAIR.
* struct sigacts gets a new sigact_sigdesc structure, which has the
sigaction and the trampoline/version. Version 0 means "legacy kernel
provided trampoline". Other versions are coordinated with machine-
dependent code in libc.
* sigaction1() grows two more arguments -- the trampoline pointer and
the trampoline version.
* A new __sigaction_sigtramp() system call is provided to register a
trampoline along with a signal handler.
* The handler is no longer passed to sensig() functions. Instead,
sendsig() looks up the handler by peeking in the sigacts for the
process getting the signal (since it has to look in there for the
trampoline anyway).
* Native sendsig() functions now select the appropriate trampoline and
its arguments based on the trampoline version in the sigacts.
Changes to libc to use the new facility will be checked in later. Kernel
version not bumped; we will ride the 1.6C bump made recently.
into kernel_object where this was missing.
This is a no-op on ports where VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS==0, ie all but
cesfic.
Confirmed and corrected by Chuck Silvers.
by Christoph Badura:
It looks to me like the 425e uses reverse polarity of the MCR_IEN bit with
respect to the other 4xx models. That could be because it doesn't have
an inverter wired behind the IEN(OUT2) output of the UART.
Fix is inspired by change in OpenBSD. Serial console input is
confirmed working on 425e by Thilo Manske.
