be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
possible to use alternate system call tables. This is usefull for
displaying correctly the arguments in Mach binaries traces.
If NULL is given, then the regular systam call table for the process is used.
the most "officially looking" is IEC 60027-2, ie "Ki", "Mi", ...,
which is not too popular, and which would require more code changes.
So stick with the traditional capital "K" for (divisor==1024), and use
the SI "k" otherwise (ie (divisor==1000)).
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.
easy, convenient dropping into DDB at the "root device: " prompt.
Useful if your console can't do it w/o actually taking an interrupt
and you want to, say, look at the boot messages.
p_cpu member to struct proc. Use this in certain places when
accessing scheduler state, etc. For the single-processor case,
just initialize p_cpu in fork1() to avoid having to set it in the
low-level context switch code on platforms which will never have
multiprocessing.
While I'm here, comment a few places where there are known issues
for the SMP implementation.
state into global and per-CPU scheduler state:
- Global state: sched_qs (run queues), sched_whichqs (bitmap
of non-empty run queues), sched_slpque (sleep queues).
NOTE: These may collectively move into a struct schedstate
at some point in the future.
- Per-CPU state, struct schedstate_percpu: spc_runtime
(time process on this CPU started running), spc_flags
(replaces struct proc's p_schedflags), and
spc_curpriority (usrpri of processes on this CPU).
- Every platform must now supply a struct cpu_info and
a curcpu() macro. Simplify existing cpu_info declarations
where appropriate.
- All references to per-CPU scheduler state now made through
curcpu(). NOTE: this will likely be adjusted in the future
after further changes to struct proc are made.
Tested on i386 and Alpha. Changes are mostly mechanical, but apologies
in advance if it doesn't compile on a particular platform.
- If RB_ASKNAME, only dumpdv holds the results asked interactively.
Examie dumpspec only when !RB_ASKNAME. This allows us to override
dumps on none in kernel config file by booting kernel with RB_ASKNAME.
- Slightly rearrange code so that it more matches to comment.
execute certain functions when a process does an exec(). Currently
uses a global list. Could possibly be done using a per-process list,
but this needs more thought.
given buffer, and if necessary, reducing the display width of the
number to fit in the buffer by increasing the units (from kilobytes
(2^10) through to exabytes (2^60)).
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the rest of the MI portion changes.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
- If RB_ASKNAME, prompt for the dump device, defaulting to
partition 'b' of the root device, if the root device is a disk.
- Else, if dumpspec is set to "none", do not configure a dump device.
- Else, if dumpspec is set by config(8), attempt to use that device.
- Else, dumpspec is wildcarded or unspecified; if the root device is
a disk, select partition b. (which was the previous default dump
partition)
Note, dumps to a local disk now work even if root is on nfs.
from the version used by NetBSD/alpha, with several changes by me.
Support for asking for root device and root file system type on any
kernel, obsoleting "options GENERIC".
- Make my mountroothook implementation used by the sparc and x68k
ports machine-independent, and use it here. Mountroothooks allow
devices to execute special functions before being mounted as the
root device (such as ejecting the floppy and prompting for a new
floppy disk).
- Make swapconf() machine-independent. It was identical on all ports.
(1) after removing a shutdown hook (in shutdownhook_disestablish()),
free it. We created it, we have to free it. Without this,
shutdownhook_disestablish() leaks memory.
(2) in doshutdownhooks(), before running each hook, remove it from the
shutdown hook list. This makes sure that every hook is tried once
(because doshutdownhooks() is called from before rebooting, and
a fault in a shutdown hook will cause doshutdownhooks() to be called
again), but prevents the hooks from potentially being run infinitely
(as used to be possible, in the above-mentioned situation).
