Understands allocation aligment and boundary restrictions, "specific region"
allocations, and suballocations. Capable of statically or dynamically
allocating map overhead.
Many thanks to Matthias Drochner for running the code for me, and sending
me bug fixes, optimizations, and suggestions. Also, many thanks to
Chris Demetriou for his extremely helpful suggestions.
XXX No manual page yet. One is forthcoming, as soon as I can scare up
the time to write one. This has been sitting on my plate for quite a
while, and several projects are waiting for it. Time to move on.
bus-independent core driver. Tested on all three bus types, including
an isa 3c509 masquerading as an eisa device (use ep* at eisa? slot ? in
your kernel config file to catch this one).
XXX Driver still needs to be converted to <machine/bus.h>
bus support want to attach to should be declared in conf/files, so that
hairy ordering constraints on the inclusions of busses' "files" files
in files.{MACHINE} are avoided. isabus, pcibus attributes will go here later.
The problem is, for instance, that there are some devices in files.isa
currently which require that 'pci' be defined, but there are some PCI
devices (e.g. 'sio' on the Alpha) that provide isabus interfaces, i.e.
'isa' busses attach to them. Unless the the bus-attachment attributes
are here, it's impossible to declare the busses' files and attribute
dependencies in a machine-independent way.
and the "kernel.tar.Z" distribution on louie.udel.edu, which is older than
xntp 3.4y or 3.5a, but contains newer kernel source fragments.
This commit adds support for a new kernel configuration option, NTP.
If NTP is selected, then the system clock should be run at "HZ", which
must be defined at compile time to be one value from:
60, 64, 100, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
Powers of 2 are ideal; 60 and 100 are supported but are marginally less
accurate.
If NTP is not configured, there should be no change in behavior relative
to pre-NTP kernels.
These changes have been tested extensively with xntpd 3.4y on a decstation;
almost identical kernel mods work on an i386. No pulse-per-second (PPS)
line discipline support is included, due to unavailability of hardware
to test it.
With this in-kernel PLL support for NetBSD, both xntp 3.4y and xntp
3.5a user-level code need minor changes. xntp's prototype for
syscall() is correct for FreeBSD, but not for NetBSD.
add 'fddi' attribute, and files descriptions for it.
XXX add 'pdq' attribute, and add files descriptions for it. This is to
XXX support the various front-ends that use his driver (which will eventually
XXX live on PCI, EISA, and TC busses at least). This is probably not the best
XXX way to arrange this, but i can't think of a better way without whacking
XXX a lot of things.
<polk@bsdi.com>. His notes are as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 22, 1993
- Changed name of entire package from PCFS to MSDOSFS
- Fixed bugs:
root directory size in clusters instead of bytes
growing directory didn't update in-core size
link, symlink, mknod didn't free locked parent (deadlock)
lookup returned real error on create and rename instead of EJUSTRETURN
rename changed `.' entry in child instead of name entry in parent
rename removed `.' entry in child instead of removing entry in
parent when moving a directory from one dir to another
createde() left new node locked when write of parent failed (deadlock)
removede() decremented refcount even on error (rmdir's which failed
due to write errors left in-core cache entries inconsistent)
changed validation for filesystem to not check for the boot signature
since some disks (e.g., mtools) aren't bootable
directories are always show current time as modify time
(needed for NFS export since DOS never updates dir mod times --
ctime is true create time).
- Added support for cookies changes to the readdir() vnode
interface (#ifdef __bsdi__)
- Punted on the whole problem of inode generation numbers. This means
that there's a chance of using a stale file handle to access a new
file, but it doesn't appear to be the common case, and I don't see
how to generate reasonable generation numbers without changing something
on the disk (which is the way the SVR4 filesystem survival kit guys
did it). I don't think it would be very safe to change the on-disk
format.
