int foo(struct lwp *l, void *v, register_t *retval)
to:
int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.
The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.
quick consensus on tech-kern
doesn't obtain the ports, gain and balance related parameters.
Those generally require reading from the hardware and therefore are much
more expensive to obtain. Modify OSS emulation to use the new ioctl
where possible.
This reduces CPU usage of mplayer during mp3 playback with my Thinkpad
from 20% to < 1% and from 50% to 20% during Xvid playback.
Review and comments from jmcneill@
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
Avoids a lot of casting and removes the need for some line breaks.
Removed a load of (caddr_t) casts from calls to copyin/copyout as well.
(approved by christos - he has a plan to remove caddr_t...)
between creation of a file descriptor and close(2) when using kernel
assisted threads. What we do is stick descriptors in the table, but
mark them as "larval". This causes essentially everything to treat
it as a non-existent descriptor, except for fdalloc(), which sees a
filled slot so that it won't (incorrectly) allocate it again. When
a descriptor is fully constructed, the code that has constructed it
marks it as "mature" (which actually clears the "larval" flag), and
things continue to work as normal.
While here, gather all the code that gets a descriptor from the table
into a fd_getfile() function, and call it, rather than having the
same (sometimes incorrect) code copied all over the place.
The optimized integer formula was supplied by Wolfgang Solfrank on
"tech-kern@netbsd.org". This fixes problems with e.g FreeBSD TV (fxtv),
RealPlayer-7.0 Beta 2 (PR pkg/10818) and KDE's "kscd".
encodings, too. (This is currently an issue with the eso(4) driver, which,
due to different byte orders in playing and recording directions, sets the
emulated flag for all 16-bit encodings, although it could be argued that this
is an unfortunate weakness of the query_encoding() interface.)
count is 0, wait for use count to drain before finishing the close.
This is necessary in order for multiple processes to safely share file
descriptor tables.
the /dev/rmidiN devices, or with a sequencer interface via /dev/music.
So far the only supported MIDI device is the MPU401 port on SoundBlaster
(and only on SB on isapnp, since we do not have locators with multiple
values yet).
The changes is to allow some limited mixer manipulation through
the audio device (instead of the mixer device).
This rendered 4 methods in audio_hw_if unused so garbage collect these.
