system-specific values. Submitted by Chris Demetriou in Nov 1995 (!)
in PR kern/1781, modified only slighly by me.
This is enabled on a per-mount basis with the MNT_MAGICLINKS mount
flag. It can be enabled at mountroot() time by building the kernel
with the ROOTFS_MAGICLINKS option.
The following magic strings are supported by the implementation:
@machine value of MACHINE for the system
@machine_arch value of MACHINE_ARCH for the system
@hostname the system host name, as set with sethostname()
@domainname the system domain name, as set with setdomainname()
@kernel_ident the kernel config file name
@osrelease the releaes number of the OS
@ostype the name of the OS (always "NetBSD" for NetBSD)
Example usage:
mkdir /arch/i386/bin
mkdir /arch/sparc/bin
ln -s /arch/@machine_arch/bin /bin
Support for a.out coredumps is now conditional on EXEC_AOUT, EXEC_COFF,
EXEC_ECOFF, or EXEC_MACHO, or LKM. Since coredump_netbsd is the only user
of cpu_coredump, make that conditional too. Lastly, add 'no options EXEC_AOUT'
so the EXEC_AOUT option in std.i386 can be overridden.
-Wreturn-type -Wwrite-strings -Wswitch" so I am turning them on. There
is going to be a little lossage on some platforms but you can always
compile with "make DEFWARNINGS=no". Tested on sparc64 and i386.
* We now use hash tables instead of a list to store the in kernel
fingerprints.
* Fingerprint methods handling has been made more flexible, it is now
even simpler to add new methods.
* the loader no longer passes in magic numbers representing the
fingerprint method so veriexecctl is not longer kernel specific.
* fingerprint methods can be tailored out using options in the kernel
config file.
* more fingerprint methods added - rmd160, sha256/384/512
* veriexecctl can now report the fingerprint methods supported by the
running kernel.
* regularised the naming of some portions of veriexec.
attimer(4) is the new body of the part of pcppi(4) that mapped the TIMER1
register to set the pitch of the bell. It was necessary to separate them
in order to have a working ACPI attachment (as the two appear as different
devices in the ACPI structures).
audio framework
Summary of changes:
* struct audio_params
- remove sw_code, factor, factor_denom, hw_sample_rate,
hw_encoding ,hw_precision, and hw_channels. Conversion information
is conveyed by stream_filter_list_t.
- change the type of sample_rate: u_long -> u_int
- add `validbits,' which represents the valid data size in
precision bits. It is required in order to distinguish 24/32bit
from 24/24bit or 32/32bit.
* audio_hw_if
- add two parameters to set_params()
stream_filter_list_t *pfil, stream_filter_list *rfil
A HW driver should set filter recipes for requested formats
- constify audio_params parameters of trigger_output() and
trigger_input(). They represent audio formats for the hardware.
- make open() and close() optional
- add int (AUMODE_PLAY or AUMODE_RECORD) and audio_params_t parameters
to round_blocksize()
* sw_code is replaced with stream_filter_t.
stream_filer_t converts audio data in an input buffer and writes
into another output buffer unlike sw_code, which converts data in
single buffer.
converters in dev/auconv.c, dev/mulaw.c, dev/aurateconv.c,
dev/tc/bba.c, dev/ic/msm6258.c, and arch/arm/iomd/vidcaudio.c are
reimplemented as stream_filter_t
* MI audio
- audiosetinfo() builds filter pipelines from stream_filter_list_t
filled by audio_hw_if::set_params()
- audiosetinfo() returns with EINVAL if mmapped and set_params()
requests filters
- audio_write(), audio_pint(), and audio_rint() invoke a filter
pipeline.
- ioctl() for FIONREAD, AUDIO_WSEEK, AUDIO_GETIOFFS,
AUDIO_GETOOFFS, and audio_prinfo::{seek,samples} for
AUDIO_GETINFO handle values for a buffer nearest to userland.
* add `struct device *' parameter to ac97_attach()
* all of audio HW drivers follow audio_hw_if and ac97 changes
NAME
tap - virtual Ethernet device
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device tap
DESCRIPTION
The tap driver allows the creation and use of virtual Ethernet devices.
Those interfaces appear just as any real Ethernet NIC to the kernel, but
can also be accessed by userland through a character device node in order
to read frames being sent by the system or to inject frames.
In that respect it is very similar to what tun(4) provides, but the added
Ethernet layer allows easy integration with machine emulators or virtual
Ethernet networks through the use of bridge(4) with tunneling.
``Qui tacet consentire videtur.''
disklabels nested inside an MBR "NetBSD" or "386BSD" partition (first
one found is considered authoritative for the disk), or in one of several
known locations for various NetBSD platforms. It can read native or other-
endian disklabels (code is there, but not tested).
If you want to play with this, exercise caution; you can't currently
mountroot on a wedge (setroot() needs some work). Enabled by the
DKWEDGE_METHOD_BSDLABEL kernel option.
infrastructure that allows new ones to be added. The discovery methods
are prioritized, and only one can exist at a given priority.
The DKWEDGE_METHOD_GPT option causes GPT support to be included. GPT is
at priority 0; we prefer GPT above all others.
calls to ensure that the vnode lock state is as expected when the VOP
call is made. Modify vnode_if.src to set the expected state according
to the documenting lock table for each VOP. Modify vnode_if.sh to emit
the checks.
Notes:
- The checks are only performed if the vnode has the VLOCKSWORK bit
set. Some file systems (e.g. specfs) don't even bother with vnode
locks, so of course the checks will fail.
- We can't actually run with VNODE_LOCKDEBUG because there are so many
vnode locking problems, not the least of which is the "use SHARED for
VOP_READ()" issue, which screws things up for the entire call chain.
Inspired by similar changes in OpenBSD, but implemented differently.
produces corrupted binaries when the link_set_* sections extend into another
page after the end of the .text section by using a generated an ldscript that
puts all the link_set_* data into the .text section in the first place.
- pfsync (due to protocol # assignment issues)
- carp (not really a PF portion, but thought important to mention)
- PF and ALTQ are mutually-exclusive. this will be sorted out when
kjc@csl.sony.co.jp updates ALTQ and PF (and API inbetween)

to only call pckbc_machdep_cnattach() if this is present. This allows
pckbc_machdep_cnattach() to be omitted entirely on most ports, where it only
returns ENXIO anyway.
The devices with this attribute at the moment are pc(4) on i386 and bebox, and
pckbc on sparc, where pckbc_machdep_cnattach() mysteriously returns 0 rather
than ENXIO.
PR#23470, with minor updates by me. This is only the syscall support
from that PR, for now.
Changes: port over fix from FreeBSD for multicast address generation.
Changed bcopy to memcpy. For now, #ifdef notyet the portions of
kern_uuid.c that are meant to be used by (currently nonexistent) other
things in the kernel. Added syscall to COMPAT_FREEBSD as well, though
that's currently not useful, as any program new enough to use this call
also uses other syscalls we don't (yet) emulate.
