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
avoid having to allocate space in the 'stackgap'
- which is very LWP unfriendly.
The additional code for non-emulation namei() is trivial, the reduction for
the emulations is massive.
The vnode for a processes emulation root is saved in the cwdi structure
during process exec.
If the emulation root the TRYEMULROOT flag are set, namei() will do an initial
search for absolute pathnames in the emulation root, if that fails it will
retry from the normal root.
".." at the emulation root will always go to the real root, even in the middle
of paths and when expanding symlinks.
Absolute symlinks found using absolute paths in the emulation root will be
relative to the emulation root (so /usr/lib/xxx.so -> /lib/xxx.so links
inside the emulation root don't need changing).
If the root of the emulation would be returned (for an emulation lookup), then
the real root is returned instead (matching the behaviour of emul_lookup,
but being a cheap comparison here) so that programs that scan "../.."
looking for the root dircetory don't loop forever.
The target for symbolic links is no longer mangled (it used to get the
CHECK_ALT_xxx() treatment, so could get /emul/xxx prepended).
CHECK_ALT_xxx() are no more. Most of the change is deleting them, and adding
TRYEMULROOT to the flags to NDINIT().
A lot of the emulation system call stubs could now be deleted.
EPROTONOSUPPORT instead of EAFNOSUPPORT.
from pavel@ with a little bit of clean up from myself.
XXX: netbsd32 (and perhaps other emulations) should be able
XXX: to call the standard socket calls for this i think, but
XXX: revisit this at another time.
will change "struct ntptimeval", so some translation would be necessary.
ntp_gettine is considered dispensable, the only userland program known
to use it is "ntptime".
- proc_is_traced_p() -> trace_is_enabled(), to match trace_enter() and
trace_exit().
- trace_is_enabled() becomes a real function.
- Remove unnecessary include files from various files that used to care
about KTRACE and SYSTRACE, but do no more.
