by the number of concurrent I/O requests. Also introduce a new disk_wait()
function to measure requests waiting in a bufq.
iostat -y now reports data about waiting and active requests.
So far only drivers using dksubr and dk, ccd, wd and xbd collect data about
waiting requests.
to read-only and vice versa:
- Add an internal flag IMNT_WANTRDONLY.
- Set either IMNT_WANTRDWR or IMNT_WANTRDONLY if going from or to read-only.
- After successfull call to VFS_MOUNT() set or clear MNT_RDONLY.
Adapt tmpfs and rumpfs to the new protocol. Other file systems will be
updated when they get the IMNT_CAN_RWTORO property.
Welcome to 7.99.64
This interface is modeled after FreeBSD API with the usage.
This replaced previous watchpoint API. The previous one was introduced
recently in NetBSD-current and remove its spurs without any
backward-compatibility.
Design choices for Debug Register accessors:
- exec() (TRAP_EXEC event) must remove debug registers from LWP
- debug registers are only per-LWP, not per-process globally
- debug registers must not be inherited after (v)forking a process
- debug registers must not be inherited after forking a thread
- a debugger is responsible to set global watchpoints/breakpoints with the
debug registers, to achieve this PTRACE_LWP_CREATE/PTRACE_LWP_EXIT event
monitoring function is designed to be used
- debug register traps must generate SIGTRAP with si_code TRAP_DBREG
- debugger is responsible to retrieve debug register state to distinguish
the exact debug register trap (DR6 is Status Register on x86)
- kernel must not remove debug register traps after triggering a trap event
a debugger is responsible to detach this trap with appropriate PT_SETDBREGS
call (DR7 is Control Register on x86)
- debug registers must not be exposed in mcontext
- userland must not be allowed to set a trap on the kernel
Implementation notes on i386 and amd64:
- the initial state of debug register is retrieved on boot and this value is
stored in a local copy (initdbregs), this value is used to initialize dbreg
context after PT_GETDBREGS
- struct dbregs is stored in pcb as a pointer and by default not initialized
- reserved registers (DR4-DR5, DR9-DR15) are ignored
Further ideas:
- restrict this interface with securelevel
Tested on real hardware i386 (Intel Pentium IV) and amd64 (Intel i7).
This commit enables 390 debug register ATF tests in kernel/arch/x86.
All tests are passing.
This commit does not cover netbsd32 compat code. Currently other interface
PT_GET_SIGINFO/PT_SET_SIGINFO is required in netbsd32 compat code in order to
validate reliably PT_GETDBREGS/PT_SETDBREGS.
This implementation does not cover FreeBSD specific defines in their
<x86/reg.h>: DBREG_DR7_LOCAL_ENABLE, DBREG_DR7_GLOBAL_ENABLE, DBREG_DR7_LEN_1
etc. These values tend to be reinvented by each tracer on its own. GNU

Another reason to stop introducing unpopular defines covering machine
specific register macros is that these value varies across generations of
the same CPU family.

Use proper check for LW_SYSTEM, don't depend on PT_GETREGS/PT_SETREGS.
Don't allow to mask SA_CANTMASK signals with PT_SET_SIGMASK (this covers
SIGSTOP and SIGKILL).
Add new ATF tests:
- setsigmask5
Verify that sigmask cannot be set to SIGKILL
- setsigmask6
Verify that sigmask cannot be set to SIGSTOP

Introduce new API for debuggers to allow/prevent execution of the specified
thread.
New ptrace(2) operations:
PT_RESUME Allow execution of a specified thread, change its state
from suspended to continued. The addr argument is unused.
The data argument specifies the LWP ID.
This call is equivalent to _lwp_continue(2) called by a
traced process. This call does not change the general
process state from stopped to continued.
PT_SUSPEND Prevent execution of a specified thread, change its state
from continued to suspended. The addr argument is unused.
The data argument specifies the requested LWP ID.
This call is equivalent to _lwp_suspend(2) called by a
traced process. This call does not change the general
process state from continued to stopped.
This interface is modeled after FreeBSD, however with NetBSD specific arguments
passed to ptrace(2) -- FreeBSD passes only thread id, NetBSD passes process and
thread id.
Extend PT_LWPINFO operation in ptrace(2) to report suspended threads. In the
ptrace_lwpinfo structure in pl_event next to PL_EVENT_NONE and PL_EVENT_SIGNAL
add new value PL_EVENT_SUSPENDED.
Add new errno(2) value EDEADLK that might be returned by ptrace(2). It prevents
dead-locking in a scenario of resuming a process or thread that is prevented
from execution. This fixes bug that old API was vulnerable to this scenario.
Kernel bump delayed till introduction of PT_GETDBREGS/PT_SETDBREGS soon.
Add new ATF tests:
- resume1
Verify that a thread can be suspended by a debugger and later
resumed by the debugger
- suspend1
Verify that a thread can be suspended by a debugger and later
resumed by a tracee
- suspend2
Verify that the while the only thread within a process is
suspended, the whole process cannot be unstopped

sections. They point to the same data in the file, but sections are
for linkers and are not necessarily present in an executable.
The original switch from phdrs to shdrs seems to be just a cop-out to
avoid parsing multiple notes per segment, which doesn't really avoid
the problem b/c sections also can contain multiple notes.
Add new interface to add ability to get/set signal mask of a tracee.
It has been inspired by Linux PTRACE_GETSIGMASK and PTRACE_SETSIGMASK, but
adapted for NetBSD API.
This interface is used for checkpointing software to set/restore context
of a process including signal mask like criu or just to track this property
in reverse-execution software like Record and Replay Framework (rr).
Add new ATF tests for this interface
====================================
getsigmask1:
Verify that plain PT_SET_SIGMASK can be called
getsigmask2:
Verify that PT_SET_SIGMASK reports correct mask from tracee
setsigmask1:
Verify that plain PT_SET_SIGMASK can be called with empty mask
setsigmask2:
Verify that sigmask is preserved between PT_GET_SIGMASK and
PT_SET_SIGMASK
setsigmask3:
Verify that sigmask is preserved between PT_GET_SIGMASK, process
resumed and PT_SET_SIGMASK
setsigmask4:
Verify that new sigmask is visible in tracee
Kernel ABI bump delayed as there are more interfaces to come in ptrace(2).

will always succeed as we hold the last reference and prevent further
references. On layered file systems waiting for the lock would open a can of
deadlocks as the lower vnodes may have other active references.
