used by uvm_mmap() as a hint for the virtual address to map memory to. As
a consequence, it tended to fail a lot on some architectures.
We cannot use 0, so instead use the value that would have been used if we
were calling mmap(2) with 0 as the first argument.
Fixes PR#34639 by xtraeme@.
To avoid code duplication, move strsep.c to the kernel/userland
common files.
Soon I will commit source-address selection (options IPSELSRC).
It will use strsep(3).
keys and returns them in an array. This effectively allows a caller
to mutate a dictionary while iterating over it (really, you iterate
over the array of keys instead of the dictionary itself).
- Add a slew of utility functions that make it more convenient (in some
circumstances, anyway) to get/set values in a dictionary.
definition of struct rb_ndoe on the endianess is the only explanation I have
why nobody complained about this on i386 - I don't understand why it makes a
difference for gcc though)
the data structure is internally consistent in the face of multiple threads
accessing it concurrently. This is not designed to provide application-
level semantic consistency; applications are responsible for that locking
protocol should it be necessary.
- Rename _PROP_MUTEX_DECL() to _PROP_MUTEX_DECL_STATIC().
plist-based messages and to eliminate looping previously required to
receive a plist from the kernel:
- prop_dictionary_copyin_ioctl() and prop_dictionary_copyout_ioctl()
now take the cmd argument rather than the file open flag. The
read-ness or write-ness of an ioctl command is checked by these
routines to ensure that information is being passed to/from the
userland component properly.
- prop_dictionary_copyout_ioctl() now allocates the memory for the
XML plist on behalf of the userland component by way of uvm_mmap().
The XML plist is copied out to the newly-mapped anonymous region,
and the pointer returned via the plistref.
- prop_dictionary_recv_ioctl() is responsible for munmap()'ing the
region after parsing the XML plist into internal represenatation.
- A new prop_dictionary_sendrecv_ioctl() is added, allowing user space
code to send a dictionary to the kernel and receive one back as a
reply.
Update users of prop_kern for the API changes (Bluetooth).
This constitutes an ABI / protocol change -- but this will also be put
into NetBSD 4.0 so that the first proplib release will implement the new
scheme.
has a significant code size savings over <sys/tree.h>.
Also change prop_number_t to store all number objects in an r-b tree,
only ever allocating one object for any given number (we can do this
because numbers are immutable). This results in significant run-time
memory savings.
so that apps can use this construct safely:
obj = prop_dictionary_get(dict, "value");
if (! prop_number_equals_integer(obj, 5)) {

- Arrays can now be externalized and internalized in the same way
dictionaries can.
- Add new "externalize to file" and "internalize from file" functions
to make reading a property list from a file and writing a property
list to a file more convenient.
- Many assertions in the object implementations are gone. Instead,
calling an accessor for one object type with a different object type
as an argument will return a suitable "invalid" value.
- prop_object_type() now returns a new PROP_TYPE_UNKNOWN value if called
with a NULL object.
- Externalized property lists now contain a reference to the Apple XML
plist DTD.
- Add a new prop_ingest(3) facility, which provides a convenient way to
translate a dictionary into an arbitrary binary representation.
